Ghidora131 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Well, thank goodness! After they announced Adventure Time as a set I was sure LEGO was doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taria Pakari Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Okay, but does it lean? Can't have the Leaning Tower of London without a lean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Well, thank goodness! After they announced Adventure Time as a set I was sure LEGO was doomed.Why would LEGO making a single set based on a popular cartoon spell doom for LEGO? They've made entire themes based on movies that bombed (Speed Racer, Prince of Persia, The Lone Ranger) and still managed to come out sparkling. Anyway, this set looks phenomenal, and has a great value! Not sure if I'll be getting it, but the design appears to be spot-on!

It's kinda like the idea for a Nintendo line; it wouldn't last or make much money, the exception being Nintendo makes money off of anything it touches.

It's kinda like the idea for a Nintendo line; it wouldn't last or make much money, the exception being Nintendo makes money off of anything it touches. Again, though, nobody ever said anything about Adventure Time getting a LINE of sets. All that's been announced is one single Ideas set. And I see no reason it wouldn't make money. There are plenty of companies that have been making Adventure Time merchandise for years and continue doing so, so obviously somebody's buying it. I don't see why Nintendo sets would be a bad move either. "Consistency within itself" has never been necessary for a LEGO license to succeed or last — if it were, then Batman sets wouldn't be remotely successful, given that Batman, Robin, the Batmobile, the Joker and so forth vary wildly from one appearance to the next.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That is one cool looking set. I would definitely consider getting it if I had a place to put it.

believe victims Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) (seriously though that's some nice detailing and parts usage, as has come to be expected of these sets. the sheer number of teeth is incredible) Edited May 20, 2016 by Hanako Ikezawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
