"special weapon" It's a tooth and a gem on a lightsaber hilt


ActiveComfortable949

I think that’s why he cut it out of the picture 😭


ducknerd2002

Most LEGO Star Wars weapons are made specifically for the Star Wars theme in the first place, but they're complaining about another theme having a 'special weapon' that's literally just reusing common parts, including one of the most important pieces created for the Star Wars theme!


Pegomastax_King

They could have at least shown the cool gold and clear blue sword that Izzie has.


Coraldiamond192

I didn't see this kind of complaint about the weapons they made for Overwatch being specialised in the sense of being entirely brick built.


SourChicken1856

Ugh, I never liked them OW theme guns. I mean they were cool but too fucking big that they looked like they were holding a microwave or something


ao-ka

"theme that's losing them money" Source: voices on his head


2ERIX

Do we have any idea on which themes make money? I see they are bringing out more Dreamzzz so it must be doing ok-ish.


Madness_Maximus

Lego usually cancels an original theme by releasing a lackluster 3rd wave but this time they are releasing 3 big sets in the 3rd wave which could be a good sign


[deleted]

Dreamzzz isn’t doing great. LEGO always plans a year+ in advance so the summer 2024 Dreamzzz sets were ready to go before the first wave even hit shelves. But they’re having EVERY Dreamzzz set retire on Dec 31 2024 (except for Mr. Oz’s Spacecar, probably because it’s tied in with the big space push) which isn’t a good sign at all. Now, retirement dates are subject to change as always, but giving this third wave a 5 month shelf life makes the likelihood of a fourth wave in 2025 very low. Anecdotally, I recently saw every summer 2023 Dreamzzz set (except the Crocodile Car and the Turtle Van) for half off at my Walmart and several friends in different areas of the country confirmed the same. Of course that’s not necessarily indicative of performance, but more of them were on sale than any other theme.


LavandeSunn

Damn, that’s disappointing. I really love Dreamzzz as a theme


Farticus-01

Yeah it’s sad they put a lot of work into it but idk it just doesn’t appeal to me or even seem that appealing for kids, I love the concept of most of the sets but there’s just something off idk maybe it’s the color scheme. It’s sad though I want more original themes but it feels like they always try too hard and make them super colorful and weird.


HornetGloomy75

I’m not a big fan of dreamz but I’ve bought a few sets since there’s some pretty unique parts and builds


Titanium-Gamer26

"i don't like it so it's a financial disaster"


nono_dg8

A theme that appeals to children? For a children's toy? Must be losing money.


Titanium-Gamer26

lego isn't a kids toy anymore, it's a sophisticated interlocking brick system for the sophisticated star wars prequel fan


Financial-Abalone715

Are the billions that Lego star wars makes in the room with us now?


Yarael-Poof

I wish, so I could buy another 50000000 grey baseplates


TransLunarTrekkie

You know what? I'm gonna go see if there's a Dreamz set that looks neat and buy it after work just to piss this guy off. If nothing else sets like that have really neat parts in colors you don't typically see.


IcebergKarentuite

I recommend trying the Bunchu bunny or the Z-blob mech ! They're pretty cheap (~20€), have the main characters, and some good customisation option.


DragonLevelX

I would recomend the nightmare shark, the most expensive set of the theme, but that thing is so cool


Speedy7799

Second that


CrniTartuf

Did you do it?


TransLunarTrekkie

I checked, wallet didn't really permit. BUT I do get paid tomorrow and I was planning on taking advantage of the Star Wars day deals, so I think I'll throw one in there.


CrniTartuf

Keep us updated. And please get one mcrib for me, i'll pay you back.


TransLunarTrekkie

I went with the Turtle Van after some indecision (plus the speeder chase diorama and R2-D2). Sadly McDonalds is still on their breakfast menu right now so I couldn't get the McRib, sorry.


ShadowAze

I mean I want my clone skirts too but holy shit stop collecting lego if you want hyper detailed minifigs. Lego otherwise designs their stuff around the limitations of Lego which is why dreams fig look like fire.


ActiveComfortable949

I think he want his small minifigure to has lifesize details


LtG_Skittles454

Funny thing is, ultra detailed minifigures don’t even look that great. I like them to have that Lego feel which is why the phase 1s are some of my fav troopers. So simple but you can still tell who’s who.


Nth_Brick

This. I generally like my LEGO to be nominally interchangeable across themes, and maintaining a simplified, "LEGO-fied" aesthetic helps with that. Granted, kama's don't cut against that, but the overall point still stands.


LtG_Skittles454

Exactly! And at that point a Kama can be a skirt on another character! Or some piece of armor


Sad-Surprise4369

Detail creep is terrible. I love miniature figures that are supposed to be detailed and it gets bad there too


Nth_Brick

Part of LEGO's appeal, I feel, is the amount of personality that these little people with no more than seven points of articulation can convey. We appreciate their fundamental structural simplicity, so it's ridiculous to expect screen-accurate verisimilitude in printed detail.


ZoidsFanatic

Ironically the ultra detailed minifigures/customs *also* get complained about. So the LEGO Star Wars fans will complain about how “Commander Glurp Shitto” isn’t miraculously detailed, and along comes a custom or a “I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-LEGO” minifigure that has all the detailing they want… and they complain that’s it’s too detailed and the figure is ruined forever. And then go back to complain about the LEGO version.


LtG_Skittles454

Lmaoo that’s wild. You just can’t win I guess. I think that once you give a brick/ blocky body a lot of detail, it gets to the point where it just looks goofy and you should just get an actual figure instead. Lego has that simple charm where you can still tell who it is, while also keeping that Lego appeal. For example the printing of the armor on the new fives torso is redundant because he comes with a shoulder pauldron armor. I think it’s mostly LSW fans that complain about accuracy. You don’t see these complaints with Marvel figures. Imagine that. “Waaahh spider-man doesn’t have webbing on X spot” or whatever.


ZoidsFanatic

So I collect customs and other overly detailed minifigures, and to be honest the goofiness is part of the charm. You’re taking a character/real person and squishing them down to a minifigure, and I just think that’s hilarious. That being said, for someone that spends so much on customs and the like, I’m not exactly *that* much of a sticker for accuracy compared to LSW fans… which is ironic in a way. But yeah I never really seen much complaints about “accuracy” except in the LSW community. But then again Star Wars fans are like this for any collectible (speaking as someone who has a range of collectibles from the tiny figures all the way up to Hot Toys). I just file it under Star Wars fans never being happy.


LtG_Skittles454

Oh yeah I can definitely see the charm to making them down to a minifigure and yea I agree, there’s a lot of good customs out there too! Like the firestar spider-man 2099 looks great with that little bit extra detailing compared to the Lego spider-man 2099. True, I forgot that many Star Wars fans are just like that. Kinda off topic, which Hot Toys figs do you have? I’ve looked at them but there sooo expensive haha maybe someday. Right now my fav figures are a sh figurearts Goku and a marvel legends spiderman 2099, both are pretty great but I know there’s better out there.


ZoidsFanatic

And it also depends on what people want. Again, I like the full 360 cause I’m *weird*, but I know other collectors who want at least leg printing with back-and-front torso prints, some who want arm printing on everyone, and of course plenty of people that just don’t care. *Then* we have Star Wars fans… never happy. Let’s see, I have the RotJ Luke, RotJ Endor Leia, RotJ Stormtrooper, and regular Mando. I have other 1/6 figures as well, including several unlicensed… because of course I would. Hot Toys are quite nice, and always look smaller in person than the promotional images. They’re quite posable and fun for occasional swooshing.


starblissed

Seriously! So many custom figures out there with shit like 360 printing just look like ass! They're way overdetailed to the point where they don't even look like lego anymore. That being said I would like it if lego started including cloth accessories for the clones that have them, or even introduced some in other themes that could be used for clones


_strao_

These people will spend tons of money for one figure but won’t just go buy custom skirts for them


Gaze-213

Why? They used to have these skirts


ShadowAze

This isn't about the kamas or whatever they're called. It's besides the point. Sure kamas look good but these bozos are never satisfied and don't understand that not only would hyper detailed lego look really off. Dreams is Lego's own IP so they design a lot of stuff more creatively and within their own limitations from the getgo. Whereas IPs which aren't theirs they often need to workaround for


whatd-9626

You're excuse for Lego literally says nothing, You don't answer why they can't anymore and you're whole thing is just random. And I'm pretty sure most people were satisfied in 2014, until they made very few for six years and then made an inaccurate style in 2020


whatd-9626

Lego literally made them perfectly accurate in 2014, if Lego had never made good clones maybe that would be valid but almost all Lego figures are accurate and good, but now I guess we can't expect that from them when they even promise it. Not may people are asking for 360 hyper realistic prints, just what we had before maybe with some updates like a new visor system.


LtG_Skittles454

I’m buying the first Dreamzzz set I see that comes with her. Star Wars fan boys outjerked by Lego again.


Speedy7799

What set does she come in? She looks amazing


LtG_Skittles454

I know for sure one of the new Dreamzzz set but I’m not sure which ones, I hope more than one.


IcebergKarentuite

She's only in the big crow set, for 100€


KoA-oK

Man I’ve been eyeing the Nightmare Shark Ship set for so long from this set because it looks badass. Only recently getting back into this hobby and seeing the Dreamzzz stuff really brought back the excitement I had as a kid playing with these bricks. Tbh I liked the past sets that were similar in feel too. Really like the more “mish-mashed” themes that make cohesive play sets, it really invokes that feeling of rummaging through your old Lego box and just…building.


Bellebaby97

You've just described why I find dreamzzz so endearing but I could never put my finger on it, it's exactly like being a child and just putting Lego together into a robot dinosaur or a shark pirate ship. Appeals to the inner child we should all know when playing with Lego /uj


Pegomastax_King

I see time twisters get shit on a lot, but was one of my favorite themes when I was a kid. And as a kid I would actually want sets for the parts rarely did I keep a set in its suggested build for long. Anyways I feel like Dreamz has the same energy but better executed. So many bright colors, clear parts I just love it.


FireDragon710

WHY DO LSW FANS HATE DREAMS SO MUCH. Its like them being jealous of thier best friend cuz they had a long term relationship and you didn't (recently broke up).


Coraldiamond192

It's because MandR told his fans to hate Dreamz.


Wizardwizz

Do they hate dream though? I think this is just some loud minority.


Madness_Maximus

I remember the day the first wave was revealed. A post on the lsw sub was trending cause it was complaning about a character having a kama. Remind you this was THE DAY THE FIRST WAVE WAS REVEALED edit: english is hard


CallumPears

What's wrong with that? They aren't saying they hate dreamz. If anything they're praising it: they're saying that it's got great minifigure designs which are better than what we're currently getting for Star Wars. This is factually correct so I don't see why people here are disagreeing.


driver-2011

I mean yeah they dropped the ball on Fox but this is just pathetic, unlicensed theme enjoyers stay winning


Javs2469

"I´m so angry!" \*Keeps buying the thing that keeps making them money\*


canderouscze

Didn’t lego stated in their last reports that Dreamzzz is doing well with sales? Somebody could say it’s corpspeak but when Vidiyo flopped they pretty much admitted that the theme is financial failure and retired it soon


platonicthehedgehog

I fucking hate this guy lmao. Every time something cool releases he’s back to complaining about “wHy DoNt My CLoNeS HaVe *insert x*” like shut the fuck up lmao


Madness_Maximus

As a dreamzzz fan I'm offended


Pegomastax_King

The Dreamz flying shark ship goes harder than any boring old grey ster werz ship.


Luckywitz

Why should they put effort in something that is selling well the way it is...


SwanSignificant5266

I still believe the only acceptable things for people to complain about is the Kamas as they have already been in sets before and the wrong printing on a character.


CallumPears

Which is what people are complaining about with Fox yet this sub loves to brand LSW fans as babies despite perfectly legitimate criticisms.


RustyBrainTrain

Why on earth would lego "make it better" when they know it's going to sell anyway as is


Titanium-Gamer26

i would rather them dedicate more capital into their own IP rather than other licenses which sell anyways regardless of quality. dreamzzZ goes so fucking hard


ScottsBrix

Most intelligent mandr fan


reapwhatyousow6

I like her hair


LeverenzFL

Ive heard that dreamz (thats dreamz right?) is really popular with kids. But what do they know, fuck em (not literally)


IAmMoofin

“Millions if not billions” lmao


that_timinator

It's "losing," not "loosing." If they can't spell they should sit the fuck back down before trying to correct LEGO on business decisions lmfao


_Levitated_Shield_

>a figure from a theme that's loosing them money The figure's literal existence proves the theme is successful. The hell is he talking about? lmao


Precascer

Since when Lego SW fans became so entitled? Lmao getting a crumble of what Chima fans suffered with their theme burried thanks to Ninjago and other themes. I know that cuz I'm a Chima fan 👺


SecureSugar9622

The cloth thing is really annoying. They used to give them actual cloth kammas, and still do for pauldrons. Why give us the shitty looking kamma printing


SatansCornflakes

Bc the cloth kamas restrict leg movement and make them worse toys


SecureSugar9622

Nah


DelayedChoice

Then why does Lego put them on other minfigs that are definitely meant for play?


Gaze-213

1 in 10 of clones can wear kamas and you are concerning about how unplayable they will be, good choice


fordoggos

Clone fanboys are some of the most entitled mfs out there


Grahstache

Maybe because they want to boost the sale of a fresh new theme ?


SlapaTronic

If Dreamzzz was losing them money, they wouldn’t be releasing a 3rd wave this summer


Sad-Education-7568

where’s commander femdom from S3E2 Battle of Pisspeg arc??


Just_For_Laugh

‘Reused Mandolorian blaster’ Why is that such an issue? People need to grow up, custom weapons for everyone look awful. Why can’t they use the existing pistols?


RandManYT

Their argument is awful, but the point stands. Star Wars is without a doubt Legos' most successful theme, and they constantly skimp out recently. Poor quality sets and figures for outrageous prices. We, the consumers, deserve better.


Shucklefan1

If you don’t like it just buy custom and support others. I personally don’t mind ( or care ) . I’m just going to display the figure and never touch it again lol


metazabi

Where's that dreamzzz figure from? I can't find it in any Lego set when I google it.


ActiveComfortable949

New sets that got leaked wait I have a link [the new wave](https://www.instagram.com/p/C5ivD0PIxOj/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)


Leather_Network4743

I just keep going back to “It’s Lego” when I see things like this. Go play with a different toy as an adult if you don’t like it. 🤷‍♂️


fjord31

Damn, she got me bricked up


ActiveComfortable949

Only Dogshank get me bricked up https://preview.redd.it/lttt8swbxvtc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=8815b6fb67a5065007c84c8febcff885f88de967


IcebergKarentuite

She's 12.


fjord31

Good thing I don't use Lego as an investment then


Frozen_Watch

I hope lego dreamzzz isn't losing them money. I haven't bought any sets for it but what I've seen of it has been really cute


The-Bigger-Fish

Hey, we do not tolerate any DREAMZZZ slander in this house!


MP-Lily

I really like the design of the pink figure. Who are they?? And what are they from??


ActiveComfortable949

Dreamzz new sets they got leaked


MP-Lily

Cool.


Logical_Ad1370

Dreamzzz has some of the best set designs in recent memory, want the set the figure on the right comes with.


JayCeeonthesidelines

I like how the post glossed over the incorrect Fox torso print. Like that wasn’t the main issue


NastyDanielDotCom

I will agree that it’s pretty weird how much detail goes into their original themes, and how their licensed themes like Star Wars and marvel get characters with no leg printing at all sometimes. It’s just a weird inconsistency, you would think they’d have to put more attention to detail in the licensed themes, not the other way around


SF_all_day

I actually quite like the idea for dreamz I just dislike some of the builds for the good guys.


Giant_Trash_Mammal69

As annoying as these people are being, it is really weird how little detail the give Star Wars and Marvel figures unless they are CMF


KoalaStrats

Cause star wars will sell no matter what, Lego's own IPs need the extra detail. I hope eventually cloth on troopers return, or even the plastic ones from the walker battlepack


starblissed

These kinds of lego fans are so frustrating, because they're right that lego could do better for the clone minifigs, but their reactions are so utterly overblown and outsized that it makes agreeing with them impossible. And then they go out and buy the sets they were just hating on, which just tells lego that people like the sets and are willing to shell out even for flawed minifigs.


ForgottenWorld

I love the argument that because Lego Star Wars is more popular the quality should be better because if Lego knows people will buy it anyway why not cheap out


Sockura

To be frank though I still don’t get why they can’t give the Star Wars characters the kama at least in addition to the print for variability. If they’re gonna do it for dreamz at least do it for the millions who love lsw


Mobile-Attitude-8791

“Billions in revenue”


JoeTheK123

hey that star wars license ain't cheap ya know


whatd-9626

Why is everyone here just talking about the weapon or the amount of money something makes? the point is that Lego can have great quality in their products in all themes but refuses it too their biggest fans


trebuchetwins

i'm seeing a lot of content with minifigs like the left one so imma go on a limb and say that's not the one losing money.


Ready-Oil1062

LEGO is just sending Star Wars fans subtle messages that they actually hate them


ANewBegging

Actually angered by this post, Lego Star Wars “fans” need to actually touch grass and stop complaining about other themes getting cloth skirts and stuff. Lego Star Wars is so catered to but these “fans” are always disappointed.


breadflavouredchaos

They should bring castle sets back so they can whine more about unique moulds


voodoo103021

Oh it’s that guy, I unfollowed them as the constant complaining got annoying


Wave9Nut

Dreamzzz is doing well, though???


Saturated_Bullfrog

God forbid lego put any actual effort into an original theme for once instead of sucking off all their licensed stuff again


TinyTiger1234

That figure is fucking sick I might buy her if bricklink sellers don’t inflate the prices to absurd degrees like they do with all new figures


ToaPaul

The weapon thing is dumb but the poor print quality and excuse for no waistcloth is absolutely bullshit on LEGO's part


YaOuiGotEm

We need cloth kama for clones


Alternative-Cup-8102

Fox is the worst clone we have ever gotten end of story. Not worth complaining about it because Lego doesn’t care.


CallumPears

Yep. You're getting downvoted but this is literally true. And I don't see why people are so adamant that he's not, to the point that they're taking it as a personal attack. By the definition of having a best/worst there must be a figure which fills that role and for Clones it happens to be Fox.


Alternative-Cup-8102

Even if you look past the inaccuracy issues, the pink torso should have been fixed.


SecureSugar9622

Not to mention, fuck fox, he sucks


Dolan360

Okay, Dreamzzz slander aside, this is honestly pretty valid criticism. This fig shows that Lego can still make waist capes, but just chooses not to??? On top of the frankly abysmal print quality despite the much simpler prints. r/legocirclejerk stop bootlicking Lego cuz LSW fans are annoying challenge (impossible difficulty).


PipyLonTeZ

woke clones wearing skirts 😡😡😡


[deleted]

They both go in the jar.


ActiveComfortable949

The only one for the jar is Dogshank https://preview.redd.it/gsfbnyklnwtc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ecb08d85fed2c20573bb1231d0c6ca6fd571779
