Hapori Tohu Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 As BZPower predicted over two months ago, LEGO will be producing Lone Ranger sets in 2013. They have recently put up a teaser site for the line, although no other details have been officially released yet. If our track record keeps up, it means 9V trains, monorail, old grey, and Bionicle are right around the corner! (That's a joke guys.)http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=5870]View the full article[/url] Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BULiK Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 OH YEAH! My grandfather is a fan of the Lone ranger, from what I know. And the pictures look awesome, too.

Meiko Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wow. I really like the look of this. The minifigs are certainly my favorite part. I'll see what the sets look like when pictures become available and then I'll determine if I'll buy any of these.

Dark_Stranger Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm really quite surprised. This...just didn't seem like a movie Lego would license, for some reason.It sure looks awesome, though. Heck, when I saw this, I was immediately compelled to go watch the trailer again. That's definitely a good sign.And, on a side note, I believe this makes Johnny Depp the third actor to have two of his characters released in minifigure form (with the first two being Harrison Ford and Alfred Molina, so he's in good company).

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Aw, yeah, the Wild West! Even though I have never heard of the Lone Ranger before, I'm gonna totally like this line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Interesting. I would've never guessed that the Lone Ranger movie would get Lego sets based off it. Who knows what else will have Lego sets in the future. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I've been hoping for a new western line for a long time now, but I think I'd prefer for it to be an original theme rather than a licensed one. Oh well. "And, on a side note, I believe this makes Johnny Depp the third actor to have two of his characters released in minifigure form (with the first two being Harrison Ford and Alfred Molina, so he's in good company)." Alfred Molina actually has three versions of himself in minifigure form. Orlando Bloom also has two (Legolas/Will Turner), which makes Johnny Depp the fourth. Or higher. I lost track with the huge influx of licensed themes we've had. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chro Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I feel like this theme was mentioned by someone who got their hands on the retailer's catalog late this summer. Could be wrong, though.

Toa TAK Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Talk about sick jokes.

Kakaru Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I laughed out loud that you had to specify that the last line was a joke. And you know, they can't say that it's never coming back for sure...Anyways, glad to see a new western line is coming out, even if it is a license of a rebooted IP. We've been waiting far too long for this. Quote 「どこに行けばいいんだ・・・」「タ・コロ村はもうおしまいだ・・・」タ・コロ村の村人達 hey it's Studio Comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I predict that this theme will last for three months.Why? I think the concept is great for LEGO. It really needed a good western. Because there'll be an explosion of sales when the movie comes out, and then one month later it'll drop dramatically. My backing for the statement? Speed Racer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars 2, Toy Story, and Harry Potter. It really depends on what you mean by "last" three months. It's true that it's going to probably have just one wave unless a) the sets sell tremendously well (not really anticipating that personally) or b) the movie is very successful, in which case there will be a non-consecutive wave to tie in with the sequel. But if you're talking about expected shelf life, I'd give this theme at least a year, the same as with any other theme.I agree, though, that this simply won't have the power to move merchandise the way franchises firmly rooted in today's popular culture like Star Wars and Spongebob Squarepants have done. And that, no matter how good the movie turns out, will be a major hindrance to a LEGO theme's potential.Then again, not sure why you listed Cars 2 there, since there were two full waves of Cars 2 sets (one to tie in with the movie, and one wave the next year). Same with Harry Potter in its most recent incarnation. Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopekemaster Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 For some reason it won't let me open the link. It says that it has "resulted in too many redirects".

Because there'll be an explosion of sales when the movie comes out, and then one month later it'll drop dramatically. My backing for the statement? Speed Racer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars 2, Toy Story, and Harry Potter. Well, I can see what you mean with all of them, other than Harry Potter. The Harry Potter theme, while, yes, coming in waves with the releases of the movies, it has still come back in 4 (?) re-incarnations. So I wouldn't list that one.

So is this spoiler discussion again or what? Does it really count as a spoiler now that the entire internet possibly knows about it? That's the thing about spoilers and leaked content: it doesn't matter how many people know about it, it's still leaked. Large portions of the community online may be talking about this, but if Lego asks us to take it down -as they may not have wanted it revealed or discussed yet- then we choose to respect their wishes by doing so and closing discussion. Note that this hasn't happened yet; it's sort of an awkward situation in the meantime. It doesn't matter what everyone else is doing because that's just peer pressure on a large scale.
