rebuild Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Any info about a release date for Big Bang? Quote
toycrazedchris Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Anyone seen any rumors for the next set? They were supposed to release results at the end of January, but nothing yet. I am guessing they screwed the Avengers Ideas creator guy over since they did their own UCS set instead, so that leaves some other sets that are not as interesting to me. The marble maze is pretty cool, not sure how long it could keep my interest though. Maybe they will do the Dr. Who sets and get those out of the way this time around. I am sure quite a few folks across the pond would enjoy that very much. Anyone else fascinated by the Avengers set getting UCS designation and no mention of the Ideas set/creator? Quote
dubzero Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Rumor has it the Dr Who set will have all of the Doctors as minifigs. I want that Hubble SO BAD! Quote
jbacunn Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm not a Dr. Who fan but a Dr. Who set will be smoking hot and the demand will be huge from non Lego Dr. Who fans. Edited February 4, 2015 by jbacunn 1 Quote
matt1147 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Dr Who and Wall-e sets are approved: 1 Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Wall-E and Dr.Who will be the next ideas sets! https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/blog Quote
Migration Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Kinda bummed, would have liked a Hubble. Or a Light Sabre. Dr. Who will be seriously profitable though. Not excited at all about the next review. Quote
trekgate502 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Love Wall E! Wanted Hubble too. That's ok. Why are they listing the Avengers Hellicarrier as one of the next under review. Strange. For the big question since I am not as seasoned as long timers. What sets in the lego offices in the video are ones we have not seen before? LOL Quote
Vegito1338 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 How long does it usually take for these to come out. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 YES! Doctor Who will be incredible. And I'm so very hopeful that this will be the start of a whole line of Doctor Who LEGO. I will be hoarding these as much as I can. A) I want it for myself, and need to get it for my Whovian friends. This will have a much larger appeal that just LEGO fans. Whovians will gobble this up. 2 Quote

lego rules Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Maybe its just me but I think they should set up a system which they produce a limited run on an order system of sets wanted by AFOL's. I believe the AT-AT has reached 10K support more than once now. Why not allow people to pre order it for lets say $1k and if they get at least 5k orders, they make it for them and ship it to them. 1 Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Not really surprised considering the sizes of all the sets. Based on what they have released so far it seems very unlikely they would release a very large set. That really only left the Wall-E, maybe the Hubbell if they wanted to redesign it to be smaller. Since they carried over the Dr. Who line it seemed likely it would get approved too. I'm guessing the next set will either be the maze or the piano, maybe the Hornet. 1 Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Dr. Who isn't my thing, but i know it's quite popular. Could potentially be a good QFLL like the exo and RI if it's gobbled up quick enough. Now onto the next review stage, C'mon Jurassic Park gates! Quote
lego rules Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) There is still a glimmer of hope that they will make a true UCS version of an AT AT. The cavegod version is still in review while many others have been updated to project not approved. Edited February 4, 2015 by lego rules Quote
rcdb1984 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm disappointed to say the least......Wall-E, really? I'm holding back all my curse words in frustration. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Wall-E over Hubble ? WTH... Methinks somebody owed somebody a favor.. Is that the UCS TIE-Fighter on the same display racks as Watto bust ? Quote
cissi Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Wall-E over Hubble ? WTH... Methinks somebody owed somebody a favor.. Is that the UCS TIE-Fighter on the same display racks as Watto bust ? I felt the same way....... no sense. But one thing might be, this time too many sets are awesome and likely a good set. Next run? I don't see it as competitive. (oops, some of the sets I thought in this 2015 review were actually on the next one... sry) Edited February 4, 2015 by cissi Quote
exciter1 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'll be on board for a Dr. Who set. I was never a fan. I remember turning to it on PBS as a kid, but it always seemed slow. I need to revisit it someday. Quote
abri123 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Disappointed to be getting Wall-E and not Hubble. Doctor Who will sell well so will buy it, but will avoid Wall-E. I'm guessing small is beautiful in the Ideas team or their remit. For the next review, I think it's highly unlikely that the Avengers, Jurassic Park or Minas Tirith will be done, and I don't think that Goonies will be done as they'll have just released Pirates with a ship. Personally the only one I have interest in is the National History Museum (though if Goonies is done I'll buy that too). Quote
cissi Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Shell we speculate a little bit? Maybe LEGO wants to score some with PIXAR (for their next movie or future cooperation?) while siding with ESA seems not so beneficial? Another way of looking at it, market. I'm sure most of the Hubble lovers (space nerds) loves WALL-E, but not proportionally the other way around. So, they may as well just choose one with higher profit potential. Quote
Shislerocco Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 why are people all hurt about a satellite. its a satellite. do people really want this model or they are looking for another mars rover for sales? Wall-E was probably an easy call since its disney and they have license. i personally like the model and will buy for myself. 2 Quote
cissi Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Me for one, love both model, but I'm a space nerd, so if only choosing one, I'll go for Hubble. My other not-necessarily-LEGO-fans scientist friends all love Hubble. Quote
inversion Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I am quite indifferent. But listening to that woman in the video causes physical pain. If you care for your well being, don'T do that!! Quote
