Will we ever get any real castle sets?

Nexo Knights is cool and all, but they're expanding this line when the last castle theme only got a handful of sets. I wish that we could return to the days of dozens of castle sets like in the early 90s.

>>5821540
Yup, if it wasn't at an Italian seller only I may even consider it. Plus I'm not too hot on the idea of fleshie Fury having a beard.

>>5821552
>Will we ever get any real castle sets?

Yes. Stop whining about it. You'll get your boring walled courtyards again. For now just enjoy something fresh.

If you can't wait, buy any of the castle sets from the last 25 years.

>>5821587
I appreciate your jackassery. Really, I do.

I love old castle sets, but I'm not paying crazy scalper prices of for sets a few years old.

>>5821602
Yeah, castle is sickeningly expensive on the aftermarket for some weird reason.
I blame troopbuilders.

>>5821602
Try BrickLink?

>>5821552
The Angry Bird castle is $70 marked down from $90 on Amazon currently. It's only okay in design but pretty excellent as a castle parts pack if you can provide the troops.

>>5821602
>I appreciate your jackassery. Really, I do.

Just as I appreciate every week someone asks if 'we'll ever get classic castle again'. Castle is a perpetual theme, so of course they'll go back to it. But the castle stuff between 2007 and 2013 was boring retreads (at least the human stuff, the trolls and dwarves were neat stuff). Nexo Knights is a good refresh of the genre, adding to it the same elements that made Ninjago a success. So enjoy the ride, and go hunting for a good deal on something classic if that's what you need.

>>5821617
What I can't understand is why LotR is never mentioned, Helm's Deep was a great set and seems to be ignored by angry castle fans who probably also ignored the boring 2013 line.

>>5821631
Good point. I tend to forget about LotR since they're licensed, instead of being traditional Castle. Probably the same reason people don't think PotC for Pirate stuff.

>>5821836
I know that feel. I don't like the licensed themes much. Yet that is what the majority of Lego and clone brands seem to be putting out, as if they are dependent on them. I miss when Lego and Mega Bloks made simple, original sets. That's why I mostly buy sets from the 80s-90s.

Myself, I use fleshies for established characters and yellows for miscellaneous, unnamed characters.

>>5822750

I disapprove of licensed themes in general, but I also recognise that LEGO probably would have gone bust by now without them

>>5822750

I never used a single flesh head in my collection. Yellow and other weird colours for monsters and such is the way to go for me.

Continuing the discussion from the older thread:
If LEGO were to hypothetically adopt the Pokémon license, what would their best course of action be?
Brick-built would be intensely shitty, but new molds for every single one of the 720+ Pokémon would be expensive as all hell.

>>5822936
Make a fistful of new molds for common elements and avoid straying far from the first generation. At least for a season.

>>5822936
>Brick-built would be intensely shitty
You fucking what? Care to elaborate on that retarded statement?

>>5822945
I (the one you responded to) agree. I love fleshies. I think that they really add a ton of detail and soul to minifigs. I'm actually a bit of an autist about minifigures - they're half of the appeal for me when it comes to LEGO. For the most part, LEGO sets are just environments that my minifigures can roam around in and react to. For that reason, I really love fleshies and the more "realistic" (if you could call it that) aesthetic they bring to minifigures.
When I make custom minifigures, they're always fleshies.
However, if it's a miscellaneous townsperson who doesn't have a name (and not in the badass Man with No Name Clint Eastwood way),
>>5822950
I will admit that that part of my statement was placed there purely to get someone to reply with a solid brick-built Pokémon (see Cunningham's Law).
However, that's not really minifig-scale, is it? When I say brick-built Pokémon would be shitty, I mean minifig-scale brick-built Pokémon would be shitty.
>>5822942
I like that idea a lot! Release them in generations.

>>5822759
Man all I have are spiderman and batman duplicate figures. Batman figures come in different outfits but spiderman is all the same

>When I say brick-built Pokémon would be shitty, I mean minifig-scale brick-built Pokémon would be shitty.
Yes, obviously. They'd all be 5 plates tall and have next to no detail. If tlg were to make a pokemon line, they'd have to develop sets that aren't minifig scale.

If the sets weren't minifig-scale, then they'd die out after the first wave (see: Ben 10, Toy Story).
People simply don't like LEGO action figures.
>>5822969
>>maybe integration with some online or mobile game
How'd that work, I wonder? LEGO is physical.
>>bundle evolutions together
Excellent idea, actually.

If TLG did end up making a Pokémon line, how do you think they'd end up distributing the Pokémon? There's simply too many, even in Gen I, to distribute them purely through location sets.
I imagine the majority would be distributed through polybags - which would actually be amazing. Think about it. For purchases of $15 and up at the LEGO Store, a badass Red minifigure with a special Pokémon backpack and a sweet hat? A CMF line of the Gen I legendaries? A giveaway at SDCC of Normal-type Arceus?
And, of course, every 8000 sets there'd be one set that is "misprinted" and has a shiny Pokémon.

>>5823015
>People simply don't like LEGO action figures.
Mixles says you're wrong.

>>5823047
i wouldn't call those actionfigurey since they use such generic parts (except for the eyes)
In essence lego is a building toy ofcourse, even the more poopy stuff like the ben 10 constraction builds that strayed away from that a bit.

I think people want either an accurate posable representation of a character (wich in a small scale is more fit for traditional action figures) OR a highly customizable building set.

>>5823059
If TLG does come out with Pokémon, I hope to God they don't go the CCBS/Constraction route. I want my Pokémon to interact with my minifigures.

Ok as Castle enthusiast myself I was going to stick up for you a bit but after that shit, fuck that. It sounds like you haven't researched prices at all. You can find Castles at good prices all over Ebay and Bricklink. Most vintage castles with equivalent brick counts of current sets go for about the same. Hell you should be paying more for them because theyre out of print. Sellers aren't scalpers, learn what a fucking scalper is, fucking nimrod. Stop being lazy.

For the anon last week who was trying to complete their Indy sets:

I just picked up a box of unsorted pieces at a garage sale, and it had one of the Indiana Jones boulders (52mm light bluish gray sphere). I'll trade it to you for a couple of minifigs. If you have any that you want to part with, post them and an email address and I'll get back to you.

>>5824312
they're 'toys' if you play with them. thats what a toy is. parents, neets and afols all watch these vids. and yes, there is a high level of faggotry involved in reviewing a sets swooshability and play features. I'm personally not super into that aspect myself. but they're toys after all. and toys are for kids. and who doesn't want to be a kid? with toys. and a house, a job, and a girl? I'm ok with this.

>>5824901
yeah im gonna need instructions for that

>>5826427
i had one of those


i don't know why

>>5826148
This is why. Fags get too nostalgic over Throwbots and that bullshit and are more butthurt than Bioniclefags because Bionicle replaced it.

So question to all you Pokefags, if Lego did release a Pokemon line and they used the new baby piece for Pikachu (along with a new head of course), would you rage like autistic motherfuckers, or would that be ok?

>>5824901
This is how I remodeled mine

i think pokemon is gay, but i also think LEGO is a genius company.
>they would have to produce so many new molds that they would never use again.
disney, simpsons, sonic, etc
>they couldn't make them ALL
sure they could, LEGO is enormous. they could do a CMF line(s) just for pokefags
>it won't happen
i think it might

>tfw trans-purple studs are way expensive for what they are

is bricklink some sort of simulator of free market?

>>5826789
Well, not really.

But when I need like 12 of those, and I have to pay 20 cents a pop, I don't know how or why someone would think that this is okay.

I'd rather buy a 20€ Bonkle-set that comes with 13 of those and sell the rest than pay these sort of prices.

hey grevious was good

I wanted them to both be compact because I need all the shelf space I can get.
