Is LEGO CASTLE ever coming back?

So, is the classic Castle series EVER coming back? Now that Nexo is gone for good, do you think there is even a slight chance for castle theme popping up? I'm an employee at a lego shop in Poland, we always get preliminary images of new sets upfront, but there is nothing on the horizon about castle.. :(

While not all of them suck, it is definitely too much of them. I seriously won't be surprised if I will be forced to switch to Lepin or some other shitty knock-off brand in order to get castle sets.

It would have to rival with Ninjago and Elves.
Plus most kids castle is aimed at want vehicleshit so you won't be getting much castles in Castle.

Get Elves sets and replace the minidolls with actual figs - there's your Castle theme.

probably not, seeing as Nexo Knights basically WAS your Castle theme.

I know you don't want to admit, anons, but that was Lego's way of saying "you want Castles? Here's your Castles"

only they really only gave you one set that was a castle...Two if you count the Fortrex

And you didn't buy those sets. So now you're going to have to wait a long fucking time before Lego tries to revive the theme

not OP but it I get what hes trying to say (I think)
It would be nice if Lego treated one of their more iconic lines with little more respect, and at least throw it a bone at some point.

I can also understand why Lego haven't been keen on bringing it back, wasn't one of the excuses for the most iconic castle set being yellow was so kids couldn't build tanks with grey bricks?

yes. Not that it matters anymore. Ever since they got the Star Wars license, Lego stopped caring about whether they made violent toys or not. The excuse they tell themselves is that "Oh, well they're futuristic, or fantasy tanks. They're not realistic."

Which to be fair, they have kept to that motto...for now

By the end it was pretty clear that it was a castle-flavored Space theme and they didn't even bother to give the sets any medieval touches at all.

They ..never go into space. Unless you're referring to the colors and futuristic designs. Honestly, it's actually more of a Cyberpunk thing, if anything. The Nexo Knights download their powers off the internet. Jokes about the internet are often referenced by their tech support, a little girl named Ava...who always speaks in deadpan

Not as long as Lego is producing Star Wars sets.

And no Castle until they take a break from producing Harry Potter sets.

Them's the rules.

Everyone who makes this complaint is ultimately whining about their own lack of creativity.

Yeah, it's relaxing and fun to be spoon-fed a model by the instructions one brick at a time, but if that's something you FEEL you NEED to the point of SPERGING OUT about it online, you really need to have a long look at what your life has become.

What kind of Castle do you need LEGO to create for you?

WHY can't YOU make the castle you want?

If you really NEED instructions, and are the type of person to just leave your sets sitting around collecting dust and not make your own creations, maybe you'd find more happiness in a more structured and static hobby like Model Railroading?

In the meantime, Anons WITH INSPIRATION AND CREATIVITY, post your own castles!

The colors are fucked up though. I don't need neon green or purple castle walls. I admit there are some good parts in those sets, but what's the point of getting the set if you're only going to use half the parts?

If they're not going to bring back Castle, Pirates or Western then why not try something new like the Greeks or Romans? They could make some awesome sets with that. Throw us a bone Lego.

It sucks they bring back castle, pirates and always have city, but we haven't seen a new futuron, or m-tron. I guess galaxy squad and alien conquest kinda count, but these are so far and few inbetween. There is totally demand for it.

The thing is though, a new castle theme might introduce new parts and stuff that would be useful for building.
I never actually cared for castle sets themselves since they always feel so underwhelming, but the parts (especially printed things like shields) are useful.

My problem with star wars for sci-fi is it's all so gray. Which is fine sometimes, but I like the different color combos. I know people say "build your own' and I do. Ive modded sets into ships and stuff. I still would like to see more sets with translucent parts and pieces normally only released in other colors.
