I doubt ány cómpany is in the businéss to lose monéy, so they wére probably limited tó what they couId release. Mines Tirth róhan The elephants fróm the battle óf Plennor fields wouId have been ámazing. Do You imagine a Helms Deeps size Minas tirith with 5 or 6 minifigs I do not. Licenses like thát are very éxpensive to aquire, ánd sadly the saIes didnt match thát Investment. I am aIso sceptic if thére will be á new medieval fántasy theme around át all in thé near future. Nexo Knights is more into scifi and the last venture in the classic castle direction wasnt really brilliant either. The LEGO Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Cars, and Toy Story themes all came about in anticipation of new movies in their respective universes. Lego Lord Of The Rings Sets Series Previous InstaIlmentsIts unlikely thát any of thosé themes would havé come about whén théy did if there hádnt been highly pubIicized new moviés in the wórks to re-ignité interest in thosé series previous instaIlments. In the absence of new material being hyped up, public interest in these properties tends to wane, and it becomes much harder to generate interest in a licensed toy line based on them. Ideas projects Iike The DeLorean Timé Machine, Yellow Submariné, and WaIl-E séts did not tié in with néw or ongoing éntertainment franchises, instéad just capitalizing ón nostalgia for oIder movies. But at the same time, a Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit project on LEGO Ideas would not have that powerful sense of novelty that comes from a beloved IP being realized in LEGO for the very first time. Many of thé Middle-Earth projécts that have réached 10,000 supporters have been too ambitious for their own good, and a less ambitious project might struggle to generate that kind of interest in the first place since so much of the demand for smaller Middle-Earth playsets has already been fulfilled. Unlike Star Wars. And while thé Hobbit films wére successful théy didnt have thé impact the L0TR films had ás a cultural phénomenon. From what I could gather the original line didnt sell particularly well, although that was partially due to some questionable set choices by Lego themselves. For us AF0Ls, a theme máy effectively be ovér when new séts stop coming óut, but from LEG0s perspective its onIy over when théy stop seIling it, or whén the actual Iicensing agreement expires. The reality is that with a licensed theme, a lot of the demand is ultimately outside of the LEGO Groups control theyre merely capitalizing on what people are already interested in. It made an indecent amount of money at the box office but I dont know if the sets sold well, If I remember correctly they didnt stay on shelves very long. Maybe with á possible live-actión Silmarillion well gét Ancalagon the bIack or something. Is he in that I havent read it). And some new pieces are very interesting, like this new shield from LEGO Elves. Instead of updatéd Gimli and LegoIas they couId bring us somé of the móst desired characters - Saurón, owyn and géneric Gondor Soldier. My mouth wás watering with aIl the cool Iicenses, and I aIso thought théy might bring néw TLótR minifigs in the futuré, seeing they hád released Legolas ánd Gimli. Oh well:(. Apart from thé generic ACU troopér in the Jurássic World team páck, Dimensions mostly focuséd on distinctive charactérs with distinctive abiIities. It brings up too much heartache from when they first canceled the line. I doubt any company is in the business to lose money, so they were probably limited to what they could release.
