I think you sort of kill your own point there. No, I really didn't. I gave an exception. But the exception you gave was "all current fantasy trends!" So even if everything except for all current fantasy trends say that elves are girly, if the current fantasy trends say that elves are okay...

I can not say that I am surprised. LEGO Universe seems to be a huge investment for TLG which may not pay off. The game has an interesting concept. I do not think that it will be as popular as standard first person games like LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman. Ben Not to nitpick, but...none ...

The first (modern) PoP game was rated T (13+), but then for the next two they made him all dark and "bad" and it was rated M (17+). No one liked those two as much as the first one, though, so when they "rebooted" the franchise for next-gen consoles, it was once again rated T. The...

I have watched this thread for days now, sitting back and wondering why. If we are going to talk about profitability, I'm sorry but I just don't see how LEGO can think 8-12 year old boys would want a bunch of elves to play with. Elves tend to be a female toy. Yes, Tolkien and all of the current fan...

Were there many sets that had two instruction books, back in the day? KCS was, I think, my first set to have two books, but it was also the first time I ever got a "large" LEGO set (we had less money, when I was growing up). When I left my "Dark Ages" one of the first things I no...

After Castle, it would be City, but only certain sets - the more "realistic" ones. The fire station, police station, etc. are all a little too open and "not to scale" for my tastes, although that doesn't stop me from loving Castle (it's fantasy anyways). But Market Street, Cafe C...

Baites: Cars 2 has already been announced, for 2011. (It was actually first announced for 2012, but they moved it up a year.) And Pixar was not shy in admitting that the reason Cars was chosen to get the sequel treatment in the first place (instead of, say, Finding Nemo ) was because Cars merchandis...

I love lime green and orange, but the pieces are too "Duplo" for me. You can hardly tell that the vehicles are made out of multiple pieces. The Duplofication of LEGO must be stopped! Okay, it's mainly just that theme. But still. :D If I wanted a playset, I'd buy a playset. I buy LEGO becau...

My Walmart makes up laws that say that their merchandise is non-returnable. "You can't return that book after 24 hours. Copyright law." Um, really? I work in publishing. Books are actually unique in that they are more returnable then most merchandise - Walmart can actually return all their...

Two other LEGO Factory sets, Star Justice and Space Skulls, are now $35 each as well, reduced from their original prices of $99 (!!!). And these are mid-2008 sets! As I mentioned in the Space Police thread, you can scoop up all three Factory sets for $105 and then take advantage of the $10 off and f...

Who's Walmart ISN'T notorious for poor service? (Sorry if I'm offending anyone...) But at least you didn't get trampled. :shock: Like others here, I'm glad I had the opportunity to pick up KCS before the sale officially started. I feel bad for the poor kid who won't end up with one on Christmas morn...

Hmm... I actually can't find where you are talking about on that page, but I'll take your word for it. That's interesting, I've always found the many classic space themes interesting. Hey... something just hit me... like a brick: Castle. Town. Pirates. Space. This year will be 2009, and just 20 yea...

http://club.lego.com/en-us/Events/default.aspx That's a link to LEGO Club's US Event page. Scroll down for an August surprise. :) Yup, that's the first official listing of your new 2009 Space theme. Yay! We can openly discuss it now (...right?), and we have an official name. All the sets are still ...

Meh. I almost think that the troll and skellie ships were really a way for LEGO to "test the waters" (groan) for the Pirates relaunch. I'm pretty sure that, now that we have Pirates, we can expect fewer ships in Castle, and personally I like it that way. Two large ($60+) ships is enough fo...
