    Any shitty franchise that would bring the price of Legos down to affordable levels, because right now Legos are a luxury.

    Call me boring, but I want to see more classic Lego sets that are not affiliated with any existing bit of pop culture other than itself. Give us a cool car or city set like we played with as kids, or what we would inevitably make if given a giant bin of bricks!

      My mom isn’t big on Legos but she does garden - there are some very cool botanical sets that they didn’t have when I was a kid! Fun for the family Lego people and also fun for grandma… am really enjoying those.

      Agreed. Kids shouldn’t need a branded tie in to enjoy Lego. Just give them the building blocks (hey!) and let them build.

        To be fair, Lego was apparently on the verge of going under until they did a bunch of brand tie-ins. So I totally understand its need for survival, but maybe they could change the proportions a little

        Fr.

        That’s why I sometimes grab generic Lego City or whatever any generic Lego set.

        It was first thought i had too, if something is more expensive than 40k miniatures, it’s Lego sets XD.

        There is some Warhammer sets and minifigures available in Chinese stores like Alibaba/Aliexpress and while sets are not worth the price, some minifigs are seriously great, like the Custodes Shadowkeeper Allarus terminators

    A real Lego Portal set of a test chamber from the game. They already made a Chel model for Lego Dimensions, they just need to replicate a test chamber.

    I want a Lego Companion Cube

      If you don’t mind it not being original Lego, Aliexpress/Alibaba have several sets of Rocinante including one with over 6000 pieces. No detailed inside though, it would have to be even bigger.
