Steve Witt Asks Rant
So Lego is asking us for our ideas for new Lego themes, right? before you know it, the topic is swamped with ideas.
How many of them are original? and age appropriate?
I've looked through all eight pages (at this time) in the topic, and I see several ideas repeated over and over: Half-Life 2. Halo. Transformers. Nintendo. Some of which are not age-appropriate.
Are we really thinking about new ideas? or are we just suggesting what video games, movies, and TV Shows we'd like to see made into sets?
Some of the ideas, like Mythology and Steampunk, are really good ideas. But I'm getting tired of the same things being repeated over and over again.
Stargate? the original ended 3 years ago, and I haven't heard good things about the latest series. It's also aimed at older people.
Halo and Half-Life? Definitely not going to happen.
Honestly? can we get more original ideas? I don't think LEGO wants to hear about what TV Shows would make good sets (Ed, Edd, and Eddy? SERIOUSLY?) They want to hear our original Ideas. Remember what you did with your LEGO Bricks. the stories you made.
LEGO has been about creativity for years. for creating new stories. for exploring the unkown. Let's create new adventures, instead of re-releasing old ones. Let's be original, instead of suggesting someone else's work. Use the characters you remember to create new stories, or make your own characters. Don't just suggest a story already popular today because you like it.
Be Creative. Play Well.
