8 home-hungry LEGO collectibles

LEGO has long been bringing collectibles based on movies, animations and video games. However, many were discontinued due to issues such as licensing.

To give you an idea, LEGO has released collections based on famous designs over its 90 years of existence, such as: The Simpsons, Ninja Turtles This Scooby-Dooin games like more observationseven in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s too bad that until now, there has been little chance of new sets being released with these themes.

And to remember these moments, today Technology World brings up a list of 8 missed LEGO collectibles. Check out!

1. LEGO Ninja Turtles

Ninja Turtles It’s a cartoon that was a huge hit around the world, with its first version airing in the ’90s, or the last version shown on the cable TV channel Nickelodeon. And it was precisely this more modern version that spawned a series of mutant reptiles and other characters.

However, it’s been a long time since LEGO has released more sets from the collection. The arrival of new movies, and even the arrival of a game that’s a remastered version of the arcade classic, hasn’t spurred the company to revisit one of their all-time favorite collections.

2. The LEGO Simpsons

Another worldwide successful animation that earned LEGO sets was The Simpsons. The partnership was so extensive that surrendered an entire chapter made with characters and settings from a building block version, two Minifigure collections and even an expansion to the LEGO Dimensions game.

But the icing on the cake was the two sets that were released. The first brought no less than the home of the famous Simpsons family, with all its rooms and Easter eggs filled. The other set reproduced one of the most famous locations in the cartoon: Apu’s Mercadinho. Unfortunately, despite dozens of other iconic sets, LEGO never released a series-based set again.

3. LEGO Scooby-Doo

Drawing Scooby-Doo It was another one that won a great partnership with LEGO. In addition to several sets featuring the famous dog detective and his friends, there was also an animated movie named after him. LEGO Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood.

Highlight among all the sets released is the set that brings the famous investigation van, which also serves as a means of transportation for the characters in the drawing: The Mystery Machine. Too bad that what seems like a longstanding partnership only yields a few sets.

4. LEGO Overwatch

Blizzard’s famous online shooter has even won a number of LEGO sets. They featured the famous characters of the game, along with small scenarios that reproduced the moments of confrontation that occurred in the game’s online matches.

The partnership ended early, just as Blizzard was embroiled in a series of controversies, mainly over employees dissatisfied with their grueling work routines and even cases of sexual abuse and discrimination.

It is not known whether this was the real reason, but LEGO certainly did not want to see their toys infect the company at that time.

5. LEGO Atlantis

The Atlantis collection, as the name suggests, sets based on stories about the famous sunken city. They featured everything from construction at the bottom of the sea to vehicles and exploration platforms, always with a touch of fantasy, including mystical creatures and other legends of the oceans.

More than twenty years have passed since LEGO released a new set from the collection. However, recently, the company announced new sets of the Bionicle collection, which has been very successful in the past and remained unannounced for years. With that, it costs nothing to light the flame of hope for him to do the same with Atlantis.

6. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean

Besides being a collection based on famous Disney feature films, it was a sort of successor to another famous series, the LEGO Pirates. This is because Pirates of the Caribbean it almost always featured large ships with a more up-to-date look and famous characters like Captain Jack Sparrow, among others.

However, when the franchise stopped getting new movies in the theater, LEGO stopped making sets for the collectible, too. Therefore, the way is to hope that new feature films will be released. However, it was recently confirmed to have been canceled. Pirates of the Caribbean starring actress Margot Robbie.

7. LEGO Dimensions

LEGO Dimensions is a game that combines real LEGO elements with video games. Inside you use a lighted base where you have to position special Minifigures as well as small sets to introduce them to the game.

Thanks to this mechanic, dozens of movies and series expansions have been released. Gremlins, Goonies, Doctor Who, Mission Impossibleamong others.

Even in the face of huge success, LEGO has not released any further expansions for the base game. There was also an expectation that a new version of the game could be released for current generation consoles. However, there are no rumors pointing to this, at least so far.

8. LEGO Jurassic Park

Since the new trilogy Jurassic World LEGO has made a big investment in a partnership. So much so that it wasn’t just limited to buildable sets, but there’s animation that has characters and stories in the universe of a video game or even feature films, but always with that good dose of humor.

However, since the last movie of this trilogy was released, nothing new about new sets. It is worth remembering that in 2023 the first Jurassic Park He’s turning 30. I hope at least one memorabilia kit is released.
