Sometimes I feel LEGO doesn't realize the power of their influence
There was a time where LEGO Batman & LEGO DC Super Heroes had an influence warranting waves of LEGO sets
Now we're lucky to even get a couple sets
What exactly made those older sets so influential? Let's talk...
Mandalorian Battle Pack minifigs are all unnamed
Moff Gideon got a unique helmet
They both combine, which is something so rare in LEGO Star Wars. Love these SO much.

For those curious, minifig-sized BD-1 was included in this buildable character version of him
The set is now retired, and cannot be found in stores anymore
This is why LEGO IDEAS hasn’t been approving the LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty Krab projects
It’s already officially licensed to a Chinese competitor
Fun fact, Spongebob is currently licensed out to a competitor who actually stand a chance at meeting LEGO's quality standards, which is a frightening reality I don't think LEGO even knows is happening.
LEGO just showed off our first look at new LEGO Star Wars minifigs releasing this Summer
Including:
Ezra Bridger (from Ahsoka)
Cal Kestis
Nien Numb
Young Leia
Mandalorian Battle Pack minifigs are all unnamed
Moff Gideon got a unique helmet
They both combine, which is something so rare in LEGO Star Wars. Love these SO much.
I am of two minds on this set
Oh how I wish every single LEGO theme could get a set this big, this playful, this full, and this stunning
From brick choice to printing, the customization options and storytelling, the functionality yet displayability
I am floored
LEGO could have done the coolest thing and made these boxes match, because CLEARLY this was the intention (still so cool)
TOO BAD ITS A GIFT WITH PURCHASE
@LEGO_Group
we would gladly pay for the set on the left at retail if you'd let us. We want to build droid armies!
It was today we would get irrefutable proof that marketing was deliberately keeping Nya from the spotlight in LEGO Ninjago
We knew it, and fought against it. Having proof is gratifying.
Also potentially legit data on character gender bias across themes at the time
I threatened to do it, and after months of shaking down old coworkers for old details, here it is! A retrospective look at my Ninjago career from 2004-2021.
Did I invent Ninjago? No I did not! But I had more of an influence than I thought I did.
We’ve entered an era where people don’t realize there are now 4 LEGO Ninjago City sets, as the older sets are from long enough ago that people just don’t know they exist.
Here they all are!
Retweet to spread awareness.
For the first time in a long while it feels like, Monkie Kid is back on its A-game
I'm sure I will change my mind the moment I see prices, but ya know what? I'll relish in this moment

4,210pcs $299.99 April 1st, 2024
I absolutely LOVE that the LEGO Star Wars designers' thought process was to keep these display stands consistent between the 20th and 25th Anniversary minifig collections
In case you did not know, LEGO Star Wars is including minifigs we otherwise would never get in these sets to celebrate 25 Years of LEGO Star Wars
They come from Canon AND Legends. They even include a commemorative plaque
2024 Set of the Day
LEGO Despicable Me 4 Supersized Tim
Pros:
-The largest LEGO set ever can be your real-life Minion
-Ultimate show-stopping centerpiece to your life
-Made in conjunction with a movie LEGO would have needed to get the rights for to even do this. Hmm...
I wanted the LEGO Star Wars Technic Droideka for YEARS but his thing is SO MUCH BETTER
The minifig-scale included is awful, but the big one can fold up, so there’s that going for it
I’ve heard the price is $70 & that is where I find pause
We’re all about LEGO Star Wars’ plans for the 20th Anniversary of Revenge of the Sith, but, the real question is, what will LEGO Star Wars do for the 10th Anniversary of The Force Awakens?
@Penkid11
What do you consider the most disappointing Lego Ideas submission to reach 10,000 supporters and not get accepted? Or in other words, what do you think is the biggest missed opportunity for Lego Ideas?
Let’s be constructive
An ideal LEGO Star Wars Gift With Purchase that includes a minifig would be something they simply cannot market to a general audience, but is familiar enough, & interesting enough to make as a free gift for fans
Case in point:

2024 Set of the Day
LEGO City Space Construction Mech
Pros:
-Power Miners energy
-If you're looking for the basic when it comes to parts this subtheme introduced, this is your set
-Quite poseable for its size
-Pickax arm can also move like a jackhammer
The teaser trailer for this LEGO Star Wars special shows a combined model featuring components of a previously unseen TIE and X-wing, a Dark Side Millennium Falcon, &, most importantly…
DARTH JAR JAR BINKS
You can play biblically accurate LEGO Clone Troopers in LEGO Fortnite
If you use code PENPLAYS it'll keep the helmet holes away

Hey
@LEGO_Group
the idea is to not use AI at all
You have the assets & interested parties to completely circumvent any use
This reads that you have a clear policy, but are humoring it anyway. You can't have both.
LEGO Caught Using AI Generated Content - Releases Statement
We all can agree that the use of artificial intelligence is a controversial subject and LEGO recently has been caught using AI images on their site.

LEGO Architecture is releasing it's largest set ever in the Notre Dame cathedral. Launching June 1st
A GORGEOUS set that, goes completely against LEGO's product guidelines in depicting religious content.
It is art, nonetheless, so I, personally, do not mind that

2024 Set of the Day
LEGO Star Wars Trade Federation Troop Carrier
Pros:
-Let's us build a droid army, which is far harder than it should be
-Evokes that early 2000's feeling
Cons:
-Sets that make a good mass-market product shouldn't be GWP, IMO
-Pilot droid prints are AWFUL
#2023SetoftheDay
LEGO City Construction Trucks and Wrecking Ball Crane
Pros:
-Always nice getting a full construction site
-You can buy the building they're building
Cons:
-Suffers from the scaling, shaping, and pricing ($60) all 4+ sets struggle with
Lego Ninjago will come to Fortnite later this season, here's what we can expect:
- The Ninjago's and more as skins
- Enemies/boss related to Ninjago in LEGO Fortnite
- Will also have General Vex, Blizzard Archers, Sword Masters and more
