I’m with you on LOTR. We need more sets. 👍

At 2:00 Obviously both Lego and the toy rights holders are aware of how much demand there is. It isn't some secret. And even though companies make bad moves, there is no way they are THAT dumb. There is something else stopping the production of regular sets. It could be that the license holders are negotiating too high of a licensing fee. Or maybe there is some sort of clause with the Harry Potter licensing deal that stops Lego from making a full line up of competing fantasy sets. Lego has full insight into how well Barad-dur and Rivendale have sold despite the super high price tag. We simply don't know what is stopping production, although because there is so much incentive (money) for both sides to get this resolved, I think we will see regular sets produced sooner rather than later.

At 2:32, I am fully convinced LotR battle packs won't release until a regular line up with normal sets ($40-100) comes out. It feels un-Lego to roll out a battle pack with only a couple of $500 sets to complement. My guess is that the first year, Lego releases a couple of medium-sized sets. The next years a couple more sets AND a battle pack.

6:17
My hot take: None of the DnD CMF minifigs will hit $30 within the next *10* years.
Investors are hoarding record-breaking levels of supply that will take forever to burn through.

My not-so-hot take: Paladin and Sorcerer (pet dragon) will be winners. If I had to pick a third, I'd get the eagle with pet dog.

Paladin and Tiefling sorcerer. Paladin does good because of the armor and armor printing. Tiefling does good because of the little red dragon, the tail, and the spell casting blast that they hold.

With how beloved LOTR is, being in a golden era of fantasy castle currently, and star wars content being awful. Lotr would overtake starwars. I have spent more on DnD cmf than any current starwars in the past 2 years. My non lego friends look at barud dur and want it even with the price tag.

[michaelhollis]

LOTR would absolutely kill. It actually might be able to beat Star Wars. The castle theme does amazing, and that's random minifigs. If it was well detailed minifigs and good castle builds, they would sell tons. I would love a brick built Smaug.

I know it seems to be everyone’s choice, but I think the dragon paladin is the best of the dungeons and dragons series.

Lord of the rings would be an awesome mini figure series! I think a Castle/knight series and a pirates series would also do really well. I’m big into the pirate sets right now So I would love to see that!

From what I am reading on the Lego website it's hard to get a complete set even when buying multiple 6 packs. I think the real winner will be having sets of all 12 because of people wanting all of them this time. I think over time that will be the highest premium if you can accumulate multiple sets. Like you always say though it depends also on how much were produced. If everyone is hording them for investment then it may take awhile for supple to dry up. I don't care about it but a licensed sports theme would do really well of current and former athletes. Then make some nice stadiums to go along with them I think would make lego a lot of money.

Here is my short wish list of LotR sets in no particular order: Minas Tirith ($500+), Grond build set ($50+), Rohan Battle Pack muster at Dunharrow ($20-30), Uruk-hai Battle Pack with Ent ($30-40), Orc Battle Pack with siege weapons ($20-30), Gondor Soldier Battle Pack ($20-30), Lighting of the Beacons build ($40+), Mumakill (Oliphant) build ($150+), Cirith Ungol ($300+), Minas Morgul ($350+), Osgiliath build ($150), Edoras & Golden Hall ($450+), Amon Hen build and battle pack ($80-100), Dead men of Dunharrow battle pack ($30+), Doors of Durin diaroma ($60+), Gandalf & Balrog at bridge of Khazadhum diaroma ($80), and Eowyn vs Witch King diaroma ($50+). I mean come on Lego! This doesn't even touch the Hobbit theme such as a Shire icons set. Possibilities are literally endless even if you just stick to Peter Jackson movies. No more rereleasing updated builds from Star Wars or Harry Potter!

I think the problem for Lego is in your reasoning... "you would love it". That doesn't make it good for Lego.
For you: The values would increase over time.
Lego: Doesn't make a dime off external Lego inflation.
For you: You can Army build with individual units.
Lego: Makes more money on the larger builds that are enhanced by those Minifigures. Make $1 on a Minifigure or $50 on a set.
For you: it would be a cool use of licensing.
Lego: There is more money in unlicensed Minifigures (The Basil Bat Lord)
For you: you would buy a ton.
For Lego and license holder: a ton of $1 bills of a modicum of $100 bills.
For you: you could get all your dream characters.
Lego: It would oversaturate the market and reduce the draw for new sets. (Think Jedi Bob)
For us army builders and investors... it would be great.
Not so much for Legos bottom line.

Both a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and a life long LoTR fan. Both would be awesome. Time for Lego to pivot and put Harry Potter on hold for alittle bit. Surprising Straud is a mini fig. He is a prominent villain and has his own module (Adventure) with 5edition - Curse of Straud. I wanted to get a box of Lego D&D minifigs just not sure where to get a whole box from at a decent price. I have 4 copies of the D&D red dragon set and hoping to pick up a few more and pair them with the minifigs. Any suggestions?
