\"\"<\/a>I don’t know if you’ve had the same feeling as I had, looking at the new LEGO Movie sets<\/a> coming out… I keep thinking Timmy & the Time Cruisers<\/a>. \u00a0It’s not that Time Cruisers was a bad line, it just felt like there was no real deeper story, than a few drunk designers got together one night over a few too many drinks with some spare parts from different themes and said “I know how we can save the company some money; we’ll just take these excess parts from all these different themes and combine them in ways, like this guy Timmy is traveling through time.”<\/p>\n

We may never know the truth why this theme idea was put into production, but it remains a part of our fan checkered heritage.<\/p>\n

The new LEGO Movie sets seemed like a very controlled PR experiment, releasing a new image every so often when the buzz about the movie (or new sets) has cooled off. \u00a0They look interesting; like Time Cruisers, they make good parts sets — but nothing screams why I should buy any of them, except maybe one or two.<\/p>\n

I also found that LEGO making Junior sets<\/a> again feels like a blast from the past as well. \u00a0Fans use to complain about the juniorization of sets with Town Jr.<\/a>\u00a0and yet, here we are again… I wonder if it’ll be just like 1998 and we’ll hear the same reasons why their price per part is so high when compared to other sets.<\/p>\n\n
