If you can turn any (media) franchise you want into a LEGO set, which on you would go for? (Videogames, books, films, TV, etc.)

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

    But why Lego? Cobi, Semba, Wange, Mega Construx, Qman, Cada – lots of alternatives to the overpriced expired patents.

    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.

      I miss the old space, kingdom, pirate, underwater, and to a lesser extent, the old cowboy sets too.

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

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

        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

      Yes, a cool car like a cybertruck and a city set with a food desert and some data centre extension to make it realistic. ;)

        Or, I don’t know, just a somewhat utopic example of what a city could be? (I know it’s sarcasm, but we don’t have to bring this shit into every Lemmy post.)

        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

      Cowboys are awesome - but there were a lot of stereotypes of Native Americans + women associated with that era. It’s unfortunately tricky to revisit the Cowboy thing in a way that doesn’t also revive a bunch of unhelpful stereotypes.
