I agree. They should really lean into the historical time periods. Aztecs & Mayans, Three Kingdoms, Shogunate Japan (just think of the ‘wood’ working opportunities!), Ancient Mediterranean, and the age of exploration to name a few. I think a tall ship navigating the northwest passage would be cool; or a cargo sledge with polar bear hunting party. Pirates and Knights show that there is lots of potential love for unlicensed historical stuff.

My hot take is that people need to stop complaining about repetitive build experience of sets; there is no way Lego could fix it, and besides you only have to do it once in your life and then the set is permanently assembled and you never need to do it again.

Might be a bit of a cold take, but I think Lego needs to focus less of licensed themes and give us more new and old themes of their own design.

I have a potentially hot take: Creator 3-in-1 sets are the best value for your money. It's literally 3 toys in one box and (usually) the alternate models are pretty good. I have the white rabbit set but right now it's in the cockatiel build sitting on my pc monitor. I just live the variety of sets that come out every year and the options in each set. I have a few of the dragons and cars myself and I love them a lot.

They're also some of the few Lego sets today that actually live up to the premise of the whole system, rebuilding a toy into a different toy. The modern uber expensive replicas of random items in a house are much lamer in comparison, and I genuinely wonder why anyone would prefer them over say, a model kit, which would both be cheaper and more fun, as you get to paint the model after you build it, giving it your own touch, unlike Lego sets, which are actually somehow a very dystopian concept of everyone building an exact same art piece to display, with no original touch or creativity, just plastic fake radios as far as eye can see.

@Thinginator

Creator is the most LEGO of all LEGO themes. Everything LEGO is all about at its core, wrapped up in one theme. I actually kinda miss when Creator was the only theme that specifically never included minifigures, because that was like an identity statement to tell you Creator is all about actually building something. Too much of LEGO culture is just people obsessing over minifigures now, which makes Creator sets feel like a refreshing reminder of what LEGO is really for.

Hot take, Lego friends is one of the most detailed and underrated themes

my hot take is that the lego molded dinosaurs are actually good, they allow for lego to actually focus on the brick built parts, instead of having to make a weird not-quite-right looking lego dino and a lazy looking lego car besides, molded parts on lego dinosaurs have been a thing since the beginning of lego dinosaurs, the first lego dinosaur line, "dinosaur" used primarily unique molded sets, and they have always looked off, so you can't say "lego therizinosaurus bad" and also praise the lego dimetrodon, which looks nothing like a dimetrodon whatsoever also maybe not as much of a hot take, but when are we getting a new lego dinosaur theme like a lego caveman theme or lego walking with line? (also yet another time wondering where proper lego portal sets are)

Not sure how hot this take is but LEGO need to slow down on releasing so many new pieces. So many new pieces can be made with existing bricks and don't provide and extra stability. Would also reduce people complaining about low piece counts are!

Any piece that can be built from other pieces, I call that a “cheat piece”. I just today built a classic boat dock piece 2617 out of smaller grey bricks and tiles.

My hot take comes via Duckbricks’ tour of a LEGO workshop and discovering firstly LEGO have a humungous stash of long retired super rare elements. But more distressing they keep a humungous stash of current parts in unreleased colours - from mixel joints in every colour imaginable to the larger plates and bricks in trans colours. That’s cheating, LEGO!

My hot take is that Lego bags shouldn’t have become what they are today. A 4000 piece Lego set in 2016 had like 5-7 bag numbers, but modern ones have over 30.

I forgot about galidor

Okay I have 2 hot takes: 1: Lego lines and sets PEAKED before 2018, I’m not saying 2018 was a bad year for Lego, we got a few good sets, I’m saying it was the last year of good sets, also before then we had some incredible lines, like Bionicle, Power Miners, or Ultra Agents, I’d rather have a bunch of pretty good sets release then one super good set every once in a while, I guess to add on is that the older lines were so cool and creative, I miss that Take 2: This isn’t necessarily about Lego itself, but the community of Lego Star Wars. I hate when people (mostly Lego KZreadrs) complain about literally every single set Lego releases, they just always find something to complain about, weather is figures, a particular set design, price, or anything else, I have never seen a Lego Star Wars KZreadr give a genuinely good review on a set, don’t even get me started on them with figures, they just love to critique them the most, every single detail, a recent example of this is the Courescant Guard Republic Gunship, the prints are decent in my opinion but they just hate everything about the figures it seems, or the fact of rare figures being more available to the public, they would rather have a really good figure locked behind a pay wall so they can still criticize it, instead of having it more available for everyone to enjoy

Lego Ninjago and it's popularity killed Lego's ability to create unique new themes.

11:05 I also do that. I rarely look at the little square which leads to sometimes making mistakes. But nowadays it us pretty easy to do it.

i have only a below 0 take. Hero Factory should have its parts renewed so people can make MOCs with them rather than spending admittingly far too much on the 3rd market for pieces that were only available in years people didnt have an interest in until recently. genuinely just want hero factory pieces to be back in stock lmao.

Hot take, my favorite themes are more recent, I have a lot of Architecture and Botanical. The idea sets are amazing I would love to add the Titanic set but ya know it’s VERY EXPENSIVE. Both add so much color and an interesting visual to a room. I have the skylines, multiple flower sets, Bonsai Tree, and my current crown jewel the Himeji Castle.

Although I do not think Galidor should be revisited. The figures were very high quality and way better than they are given credit for. People always show the wonky crappy burger toys. But the real figures were brilliant! Lots of proper action figure manufacturers can learn a thing or two from Lego on how to make high quality figures.

Lol I build all my LEGO sets without instructions 😂 My hot take is that LEGO should make Technic pins available in all colors instead of color locking them, at least for the TFOL/AFOL sets!

the Quatro line should get more specific grab-bags, like a mountain grab-bag or farm grab-bag

My hot take is that Lego speed champions is one of the best themes for what you pay for. Although they’re starting to get pricy they’re so worth it. An 8 stud wide car with a figure is so worth it for the prices

Ninjago destroyed not only so many subthemes and themes, but also flatout stole Bionicle's thunder alongside Star Wars. The latter theme also ending Constraction thanks to the abysmal Solo movie-themes sets. Ninjago has gone on for too damn long and needs to either stop or have a break for a few years in order to let other themes breathe.

When Space added yellow minifigs, THIS was the truly golden age of LEGO. Not the minifig itself, just that era.. but yeah, the hype when a YELLOW (and blue) minifig was added was earth-shattering! FABULAND was equally as monumental.

I hate the licensed sets taking over everything like a cancer - Lego should be Lego

I almost never use the blue boxes either. Once I’m finished with a bag, I will look over the “extra” pieces, and if I have a double or one or if one of them seems too big to be a leftover then I’ll go back through the instructions and look at the blue boxes then to see where I lost the game of “spot the difference.”

My hot take: Short Version: Lego needs to stop making new shows and start making new themes Long Version: Every new lego original theme since Chima has tried to emulate the success of Ninjago. It seems like every single Lego theme has to have a show to explain why every set is the way it is. But now, those shows aren’t even of broadcast TV, so they aren’t giving NEW exposure, the shows are only being seen by the people who decide to seek them out. I think if Lego released a new theme, and used only tradicional advertising, the money saved from not producing an accompanying series could actually make the line more profitable in the long run. Maybe if a line proves successful, then they can start a show to give it more exposure.

Looking at it You do have a point but well the reason why they make shows has changed for one you can't really gain anymore exposure through ads than they already have. Secondly Lego is just much much bigger than in the two thousands, a success than would be a failure or at best average now. The cost of a show cuts much less into the profits of any given theme. Thirdly it serves not to make people aware but to attach fans to it. Create loyalty to the theme

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@n_ex13 Firstly, I agree, Lego probably can’t get any new exposure from ads at this point is its life. Where I live at least, you’d have to live under a rock to not know what Lego is. I mean, no other toy gets whole isles to itself as consistently as Lego does. That being said, the goal of advertising isn’t always new exposure, it’s often exposure of things like new products (say perhaps, a new Lego theme) or literally just a reminder that the product exists. You know what Coke is, but they hope that by showing you an ad for it, you’ll want to buy a coke. I agree that the space has definitely changed. That’s why they keep working with the Ninjago model, because it brought them success. That being said, risks often are what lead to the biggest successes. Bioncle was something completely different from anything Lego had done before when it came out. It wound up being one of the things that saved Lego from collapsing back then. Did that sprit of risk have its flaws? Yes! Stuff like Znap and Glalidor came out about the same time. But that was when Lego was at its lowest, and they tried anything, everything, to save themselves. Now, they’re bigger than ever, and they take less risks than ever when they can afford the most hits. Finally, yeah, tv shows ARE great for creating loyalty to a theme. I agree with that statement entirely. I just personally wish Lego would make smaller, more disposable, themes that you don’t need to convince people to come back and buy again year in and year out, although that is 100% personal preference on my part.

Hot take: Reassemble every set from a particilar theme when you get a new one. For example, when you get a new Speed Champions set, build it as well as all your other Speed Champions sets and then take them all apart and sort their pieces the next day.

The fact that my copy of The Lego Book makes no mention whatsoever of Galador tells me all I need to know about it.
