About time.  BTS is the Beatles / Menudo / NKOTB / N'Sync for this decade.  For LEGO to release sets based on lesser known properties ahead of BTS shows just how out of touch LEGO is to current trends

A-Frame cabin is NICE. But I know the finished product will have:

• ONE Tree
• 1/3 scale of the current house
• 75% less accessories

But I can also see this being the next OFS if they do this right.

Next Lego will release a Commodore 64, all the rage with kids.

BTS should be a hot one. Hopefully it will have a quick retirement, then to the moon. 

I'm actually more of a Blackpink guy though 😛

Wondering if you either missed an opportunity or just spared us from calling this set dynamite.

I don't know...BTS feels more like Qu*er Eye and less like the Yellow Submarine.  

The A-Frame is nice, and it's honestly an example of what the architecture line could be if it had any gonads whatsoever

How many Minas Tirith have to be made by designers and make 10k for Lego to get the friggin hint?   

But hey, we get BTS, a set nobody will care about at all because they won't even exist by the time the set comes out, probably.

BTS might be super popular but it's not the Beatles. No band will ever match that. Market is too fragmented. Also, most Beatles fans are adults, most BTS fans are in their Lego dark ages. Feels like a dud but I could it still seeing being a good long-term hold. In 10 years today's BTS fans will exit their dark ages. Of course, the majority of fans are female, opposite for Lego AFOLs.

The A-frame is nice but there were better options, imo.

Lol, the older I get the harder it is to take people with too much makeup seriously.  For example singers, actors / actress, and news reporters...

You have to copy and paste the link. 
 

Not what I want but I think we will get the Polaroid camera. 

With the slow sales of some of the larger sets, im guessing lego will buck their recent trend and pick a small ideas set for a change. MAybe Thomas train..

LEGO designers seem to be stuck in the 80s so it would be between the Walkman, Polaroid, Payphone Box, or the A Team.  Sorry, Goonies is too big

This knock-off bricks orrery is already great, imo:

I actually think Bluey stands a chance, given that parents like it even more than kids. Though the way the figures go together is a bit suspect.

They don't have the IP anymore, so it's almost certainly a no-go, but the Thomas engine is quite well done.

So yeah, either the meh Poloroid camera or the meh sony walkman are gonna happen for sure.

My 10yo son loves the Krusty Krab. Nightmare Before Christmas is sweet but too big to get produced. 

Would love an A-Team van in my town. Surprised to see Krusty Krab there, we have gotten at least 2 of those already.

Typical Muffin, hogging the toys.

I don't know. I'm not crazy about any of these. Ratatouille is probably my favorite but I'm sure it won't get picked, again. A lot of "more of the same" and in many cases previous submissions were better.

 

Wow, Four were chosen out of 39

THE ORIENT EXPRESS, A LEGENDARY TRAIN

TALES OF THE SPACE AGE

POLAROID ONESTEP SX-70

Pseudoty called this last one!

images and links being derpy

I LOVE the train...the rest is a big Meh for me.....

Meh x4. These are so bland. If the orient express includes some minifigure murder plot I'll reconsider. 

I like the space art sets. But more as like an idea for making something myself. BUT, it's a great sub $100 ideas set.

So probably a $150-200 train, $60 insects, $40 Space Art, $100 Polaroid (that no one wants even a little bit)

When I was slowly scrolling through your results post I was like no camera, but there it was. Will be interesting to see what scale this train will be.

Bugs and Train are cool. Space is low key interesting but hopefully will be cheap as well. Polaroid - Ummmmmmmmm?
