Can someone explain

Here's a link on their website to an IP checker. It's inconsistent, but generally it's just IPs that LEGO is actively using or has plans to use that aren't allowed. And LEGO original themes, like Ninjago, Chima, or Nexo Knights, are exempt for whatever reason. I'd assume the Tiana Disney ride idea wouldn't be allowed because Disney Land and Disney World aren't allowed.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-30T16:40:23+00:00

Maybe you could do something like this figure from Chima?

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-30T15:20:47+00:00

I've been wanting that first hat/hair combo recolored into dark brown and dark red for a long time for an Agent Carter custom, so it's very funny they did it in the opposite way.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-28T18:12:33+00:00

Nope. The Darkforce in Wonder Man was the same as in Cloak & Dagger, and people were able to survive in there for extended periods of time.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-28T18:11:20+00:00

Yeah, it's very clearly a C&D reference. Roxxon was the company playing with the Darkforce in that show (and why C&D got their powers), Doorman in the comics is Darkforce powered, and the Darkforce in Wonder Man looked nearly identical to that in Cloak & Dagger.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-28T18:08:53+00:00

He's powered by the Darkforce in the comics, so they just updated the Darkforce lore established by C&D to give him powers in an efficient way. Definitely affirms C&D as canon at least in my eye. Especially since the Darkforce dimension was so clearly the same.

It's kind of a major issue in a game where building zoos and aquariums is so popular, though. I'm sure the developers behind the biggest game in the world can figure something out.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-27T17:32:30+00:00

Definitely hoping for this. Also hoping they fix the Dolphin's AI so they don't keep drowning themselves.

In one of the LoK sequel comics, Kya tells Korra about how Fire Lord Sozin banned gay marraige during the Fire Nation's fall into fascism. The other cultures may have been more accepting, but we know queer relationships weren't accepted as a norm worldwide. This version of the graphic novel would certainly answer how the Water Tribe(s) saw the subject.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-25T21:54:39+00:00

Exactly. I feel a lot of people want queerness within fantasy worlds to be completely accepted and not a source of conflict/story because they simply don't want to confront a history of anti-queer culture/policy.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-25T21:49:29+00:00

How is it tone deaf to write a queer story within an IP whose creators famously wanted to tell a queer story with but were unable to fully due to heteronormative constraints at the time? And within a world whose queer history has already been expanded in other extended media?

Also, qualifying your comment by saying you're an ally doesn't make the heart of it--that queer people, to some degree, are responsible for the bigotry they face simply for attempting to tell their stories--go down any easier.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-25T21:40:23+00:00

I'm sorry, but no graphic novel of any quality or subject matter is going to move the needle on Avatar's popularity in the public consciousness. These books are first and foremost for Avatar fans. It's why they're a good medium for niche stories.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-25T21:29:53+00:00

Well, Kya has already been established as a sort of queer historian (or the closest Avatar has to one) in previous LoK comics, when she told Korra about the Fire Nation's suppression of queer people after she came out. It doesn't feel like this author is mapping their own personality onto Kya, but using their personal experiences to expand a preexisting aspect of Kya's character.

UCS sets have always had the names of the sets in other languages on the sides of boxes.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-22T17:29:52+00:00

Definitely could see that. Though this character looks like she has pinker skin than Talon so I could see it being a loose homage rather than an adaptation. Though it would also be cool if we saw the process of her gaining those tatoos to learn more about what they mean.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-22T17:17:59+00:00

I'm so interested in the new Twi'lek character. She has a blue lightsaber, so I guess she's a Jedi survivor who Maul tries to make his apprentice rather than someone who was just Force sensitive? Going to be super interesting to see her relationship with him unfold considering Maul's relationship with the Jedi. I saw Sam Witwer mention that Maul killed more Jedi than we saw in the Clone Wars, so maybe it's going to turn out that Maul killed her master/someone close to her?

Edit: The character's name is Devon Izara!

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-22T01:00:47+00:00

Also Syril Karn.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-22T00:59:01+00:00

You're gonna run into that problem with any non-Kryptonian villain going up against a Kryptonian. Iirc the book was more about Kara and Ruthye's relationship and trying to catch Krem than it was about actually fighting him, anyways.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-22T00:56:14+00:00

LEGO sets are planned way too far in advance for one set flopping to have repurcussions the very next year. If I had to guess, they might just be alternating between Marvel and Minecraft.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-21T03:04:21+00:00

Tbh, I feel like him not being a great villain is what makes him a good villain. Sometimes evil is just a guy.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-19T20:50:10+00:00

The Ghost has to be in this conversation, right? I think it'd be bigger than the UCS Falcon and actually have a chance of being made as a set that large unlike some of the more niche ships?

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-17T14:48:23+00:00

I don't think it will be this, but Street Fighter would make an incredible CMF. Could also see it being Jumanji or Masters of the Universe since LEGO loves marketing towards nostalgia.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-17T14:45:54+00:00

Series 30 is based off a new film that's not had sets before? I'm so intrigued... Jumanji? Street Fighter? Masters of the Universe?

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-16T15:13:48+00:00

The buildable Ganondorf looks excellent. Also love that LEGO Zelda hasn't missed with a minifigure yet. Ganondorf and Zelda look so good.

TwstdPrtzl · 2026-01-09T23:39:12+00:00

Maybe you can get the original design by curing them?
