jaisonline Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 The teaser poster and film title were release. We should be hearing about Lego sets soon enough. For the 2015's film, Lego had the sets on display during that year's NY Toy Fair (released that May) I would expect the same treatment next year. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to hit theaters June 22, 2018. Jeff Goldblum is returning to the franchise as "Chaos Theory" mathematician, Dr. Ian Malcolm. https://usat.ly/2tSOlGI http://collider.com/jurassic-world-2-title-poster/ Just a minor FYI for the film staff, it should read , "Life, uh, finds a way" on the poster. 5 Quote
citymorgue Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 I'm so stoked on the new movie. I totally missed out on the last wave of JW sets, and hopefully they improve and make me want to go buy them! Quote
zskid00 Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Has it been confirmed that LEGO has the license? 1 Quote

Mattel is taking over the action figure line from Hasbro. I think it's a good bet Lego stays around with JW since round 1 seemed to be successful. 1 Quote
TheGallows Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Minor Spoiler : The one thing I do know is there will defiantly not be another Indominus rex and that the raptor blue is in the second film. So if lego do make a second wave the IR should be safe. 2 Quote

If it does I'm sure they plan on making Mega Bloks/Construx sets and wouldn't want LEGO competing with them. Perhaps it's a separate license though. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 If LEGO do get the licence the hardest part is finding the "Raptor Escape" within the range. Quote

Lego was selected despite Hasbro's owning Kreo for the first film. Who knows... If Mattel also gets the building block license, that's more money saved in my pocket since my kids probably won't ask for it (since that brand isn't marketed well). Lego markets pretty much every them well on TV, print and internet, 2 Quote
tacsniper Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Sets like this and their Despicable Me sets leads me to think Mega Construx might give Lego a run for its money... of course that is if they have figure out their quality control to ensure all pieces are in the box. Since Mattel owns the Mega brand... it will be interesting to see who will get the license to do the construction toys category. Edited June 27, 2017 by tacsniper Quote
John82 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 5 sets confirmed for 2018, if the Harry Potter rumour is true then it looks like we have a couple of solid themes next year. Quote

John82 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 With the pictures being blanked out I think you're right, will be towards the end of the first half of 2018. Quote

Maybe a large exclusive too. Seems they are going to milk this one so maybe this Xmas is a good time to sell the previous sets. 4 Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 I'm looking forward to some decent themes to ease the boredom of Nexo and "same-old-same-old-same-old-SHlTTY-CITY" sets. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and will definitely buy the entire theme if I can as I missed out before. I just hope there's enough interest still as it's been years since the last movie. Has JWFK been confirmed as a LEGO theme or is it pie-in-the-sky still? Quote

Has JWFK been confirmed as a LEGO theme or is it pie-in-the-sky still? Yes, it´s in the 2018 1hy wholesale catalogue. No sign of Nexo sets so far, though so you might have 2 things to be happy about. Finally, there´s a City farm set albeit only a tractor. There´s also a 3in1 Creator camper van which can only mean the death of T1, right? Edited August 22, 2017 by Val-E Quote

fossilrock Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 So, I suspect one of the sets will be the indomiraptor or whatever it's called. Looks like I should hold onto the JW theme that I invested in for a bit... I will say the sets have skyrocketed up quite a bit lately, so they definitely have legs. I just wonder if we will just get Blue, and Trex again, as I suspect they will recycle at least a few of the molds, and maybe produce a few new ones. More than likely that will be the case, but hopefully there are a few more molds out of this. I think the IR set will be safe, and probably be one of the more valuable sets as time goes on. 2 Quote

The only set that might not be remade would be Irex. pretty much a guarantee you will see another T-rex and raptor, pteranadon. maybe another diplosaurus. the demand for this theme is strong and you can sell through 4-5 Irex's in a day for $250 if you have the buy box. pretty good return for the irex's i was topping off with in January from TRU for $91. ended up with 30 at EOL. down to 12.

I've been selling down as well, but I'm at that happy medium point where I've now made my money back and the rest is all gravy money. i wouldn't be shocked to see Trex and a raptor set, but I think the rest will be new molds. So I'm going to assume 3 of the 5 will be new molds with an indomiraptor being one such set. Quote

They're also starting to come out with figure packs from other licensed lines such as Alien now. Quote
