This time I have to be Val-E, this set just sucks

[HandyHand]

Personally this set doesn't do anything for me. Even less interested in it than in the The Big Bang Theory Ideas set. But it might do well with fans of the cartoon-series.

There's no value in it, unless you're an Adventure Time fan.  Can't even cling to the minifigure collectors on this one.

This is the ugliest set I have ever seen. Must be a millennial thing.  

edit - Still better than tbbt

I like the trippy nature of the show and these little figs portray the characters pretty well. Not for everyone tho.

[Voltron]

Is this a big show? I personally don't watch TV anymore so have no clue about it. 

[tractorboy]

I literally have no idea what AT is, so it's weirdness is kind of appealing to me. Also I like that there is no minifigs, just brickbuilt figs. Beyond that, I don't really know what to make of it or its potential.

You are  lucky i was out returning all the turds I have bought or I would have got in first.

Makes Maze look like Taj Mahal.

I'll be Val-E too...

"These characters look like they've come out the emergency exit of a dog after eating too many Skittles & Smarties!"

Exo Suit - You now have some serious competition!

If I still collected every IDEAS set, I'd really need to find a away to leave this "Brick Diarrhoea" out.

[Val-E]

Do we have prices yet? 44.99 is my guesstimate in Euros.

[Frank Brickowski]

Worst ideas set to date. For investment purposes as well as in general. Retirement end of 2017 is more or less guaranteed I'd say. Who the heck decided to make this set opposed to all the better ones that were not considered?

[Guest TabbyBoy]

LEGO have no IDEAS and they've dropped a clanger on this but, at least no resellers will buy it!

[tyclin]

what is this?

Perhaps the licensing is dirt cheap.  Also since this was based on fan's idea LEGO does not have to use up too much resource to design this.

What I am saying is LEGO will make a bunch of  out of this set with or without resellers involvement

[minicoopers11]

I hate it. I'll be buying some for investment eventually. The more hate, the better the investment.

50 USD sticker price is not cheap.

Those bricks and plates, as the case may be, better be printed!

[Voltron]

Even though most of us don't know much about the show, I think it's way to early to say it's a fail, reading up on the most trustworthy site on the internet  (wikipedia) it has said it's quite popular:

 

Since its debut, Adventure Time has been a ratings success for Cartoon Network, with the highest-rated episodes having attracted over 3 million viewers. The show has received positive reviews from critics and—despite being aimed primarily at children—has developed a following among teenagers and adults

 

Also one interesting thing that may / may not help in future value that show is ending in 2018:

On September 29, 2016, it was announced that the series would conclude in 2018, after the airing of its ninth season.

I know IDEAS sets always get printed pieces (have yet to encounter a sticker in an IDEAS set), but in this case I wished they were stickers, especially the ones on the rarer colored bricks such as sand green and sand blue.

Interesting, thanks for posting that. Ninth season...cartoon network...I'm guessing re-runs will be around for years after that. That should help with maintaining and building a little new interest for the series.

The show is actually pretty funny, particularly if you're *ahem* in the right state of mind.

Trust Lego to be late on the draw with their licences. That does point to it being a 9 month set, though.

I believe this to be true for most things in life.
