150th BrickHeadz announced

easy, combine star wars and Jaws. Give us either the Asteroid Worm from Empire Strikes Back, or the Krayt Dragon from The Mandalorian, Season 2 Episode 1 or Chapter 9: The Marshal

lol

I was surprised that Jaws was even on the table for Lego. Something new would have been nice but I don’t think those four categories were great options to begin with. Star Wars could go either way, it could be something pretty interesting. We will see.

Why aid everyone blaming the annoying YouTube man for this? He definitely contributed to the number of votes for Star Wars, but did anyone really think that Lilo & Stitch would win? Given that there have been so many Star Wars BrickHeadz, I think it’s fair to say that they, unsurprisingly, sell the best of any of the sub themes, so it makes sense that they’d won the vote by a landslide. The brands offered do all make some sense though. Jaws is a classic in the vein of Star Wars, Lilo & Stitch is beloved by that younger adult audience LEGO has been trying to capture, Minecraft is one of their more popular themes. I love the Star Wars films but wish Jaws had won, hopefully we’ll get a Jaws set in the future.

There have been 150 of these things?

I was curious what a Jaws brickheadz would be - neither Quint, Brody or Hooper would be instantly recognisable in brick form - a brickheadz shark suit guy dressed as Bruce would have been fun. I only collect seasonal brickheadz, BTTF, ghostbusters and Boba Fett so won’t get the 150th one unless it’s a couple of jawas (with light bricks in their heads shining through a couple of technic pin holes) tormenting R2D2.

I'm happy with this. More Star Wars is good for me!

I have my top legal consultants making up, I mean, looking into allegations of a fraudulent vote. Some sources say that George Lucas bought dozens of IP addresses to allow his team to vote multiple times.

Why SW even was there???

I’m actually happy with the result.

They didn’t say they won’t produce the others, right? Just that the 150th will be Star Wars. So the rest are probably coming, just won’t be the 150th number wise.

"Given the huge range of characters in Star Wars, compared to the limited number in the other IPs, I am a little surprised that Star Wars managed to not just win, but gain a consensus on a single figure to produce.

I wish we could have had a twin pack of Lilo and Stitch though. I have the Disney collectible minifigure of Stitch and was always disappointed they didn't do Lilo to go with him. You can't really have one without the other."

I doubt there was a consensus, I think they just had people pick something to get a broad list of suggestions.

I don't really care about Brickheadz but I do wonder what the point of this whole thing even was. As other people have already pointed out, we're already getting more Star Wars and Minecraft Brickheadz for sure, so what was the point of including them? Lego already has the license for the other two if they put them on the vote, so I don't see why they didn't just get two more new properties for this.

I love Star Wars and I like the Brickheadz sets. However, I was disappointed with the four choices.
Star Wars was always going to win. The licence Lego acquired back in 1999 practically saved the company.
Still, I guess it will sell well.

I think mandrproductions was behind the results.

Yeah, that was silly.

The result was predictable. But now I want a Sail Barge with 10 brickheadz figures.

Like most people never head of Lilo and stitch, unsure what they would do with Jaws, and Minecraft characters are not that interesting so Star Wars winner by default. It would have been more useful to vote on a particular character from a choice of two dozen Star Wars, Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Studios etc. film characters; otherwise nothing special if left to Lego to choose the next character from the most popular Brickheadz theme.

Fake news. Massive voter fraud, absolutely massive, most voter fraud ever.

Would really wish for a Lilo & Stitch BrickHead. I am a huge fan of Star Wars, and I would love to get more BrickHeadz, but I am disappointed, too. The only Star Wars character that should be worth this is an Ahsoka Tano Brickhead..

Star Wars was easily the best of the four choices, and in the vote page, they teased/implied that it'll be Anakin and Obi-Wan so that's gonna be great. Can't wait to add the Negotiator and the Youngling-Slayer 9000 to my collection. " not that’s really not great I wish LEGO wouldn’t do a anakin one

Did the others even stand a chance?

So pessimistic you guys! My guess is they are producing all or at least some of these. We were just voting on which one is released first. I could be wrong, but I hope not!

Fingers crossed I really hope so, otherwise what was the point in making jaws and stitch an option?

"NO MORE BRICKHEADZ! Need More Brick Sketches!"

Unfortunately for brick sketch fans such as yourself, the sets have done very poorly and more then likely won't get any additional sets.

This complements my sentiments exactly. However, it is not surprising. The Star Wars franchise did contribute largely to the resuscitation of LEGO when sales were down at the turn of the millennium. For myself, I don't really like BrickHeadz and I only own a few of the holiday offerings. But I would have bought a Jaws BrickHeadz on day one.

*sigh*. If I don’t get my Jaws Brickheadz, this better be something worthwhile, like the entire cast of the sequels in carbonite.

@Cooliocdawg:
I _really_ hoped they’d do Quint in a Bruce suit.

@magni_nominis_umbra:
You don’t think they’d pull an Apple and stream video of an event where they reveal the product, and then have to turn around and sue the people who own the trademark to try to strongarm them into giving it up on the cheap?

@CCC:
Well...if more people had voted for Bruce, maybe we’d have a better chance at finding out.

"There have been 150 of these things?"

I’m still looking for the definitive visual chart of number 1 through _____.

Anyone?

I don't mind this as long as it means Jaws will be 151, 152 or 153.

People complain about the quality of SW sets declining... vote for SW anyway...

Don't get me wrong, I love SW, but as a horror fan and writer I was really hoping for JAWS as that's the closest I'll ever get...

As many people, I am disappointed by the outcome since future star wars brickheadz are a certainty. Jaws seemed like the opportunity to push the concept to its limits.

But within star wars I think there as several characters that could also bring an interesting twist. I am hoping for either r2-d2 and c-3p0, or Jabba the Hutt with slave Leia.

I'm honestly fine with this. It won by (probably) a lot of votes so that means that more people wanted it to be "Star Wars" than "Lilo and Stitch" or "Jaws". (or "Minecraft" but I don't think anyone cared about "minecraft") NGL though I was hoping for a jaws bBrickheadz.

I agree. A complete waste of time.

They might have well just put...

Vote for one of these to be the 150th BrickHeadz.

Star Wars OT.
Star Wars PT.
Star Wars ST.
Star Wars CW/Mandalorian/Rebels.

Lolololol.

I mean, what even.

I'm about 99% sure Lego has all of these brickheadz designed and scheduled to release they just wanted to know which one to label as the 150th and add a couple extra fancy doodads to in order to up the price by a couple of bucks. Nevertheless I would have definitely preferred a new IP to get some shelf space.

Suggestion LEGO don't include current IP's the next time you offer a vote on new Brickheadz!

Reading through the comments at first I was like "wow people are really upset over this stuff like its some big deal", but reading more about this Youtuber thing I take that first impression back. I understand the frustration about these kind of "unnamed" Youtubers and their style. Once they hit such a large size they kinda become faces of LEGO fans and they definitely are not representing the whole well

Stupid choice! There’s enough SW in any form, Brickheadz included. I would love to see some of the NEW FRESH "choices" instead.

And regarding the guy on YT, just don’t subscribe or unsubscribe if you already do and for anyones sake: Don’t watch more videos from him! He clearly gets too much fan support.

I would also like to point out the problem that was created by having multiple choices like this.

POLL: Choose 1
A: Something New and Original
B: Something New and Original
C: Something New and Original
D: The Same Thing as Usual

We don't know that Star Wars was the majority choice, we only know it beat the people that didn't want Star Wars after being split among 3 other options. Star Wars could have gotten as little as 26% support and still have won.

As for international LEGO YouTubers, I only watch one, and that is of course the one and only Jang!

As a huge Star Wars fan and collector......what an absolutely TERRIBLE outcome. There's plenty of Star Wars stuff out there already. They could have just produced the set they had planned anyway.

The Nebulon B / Gunship / Bomber vote was just as rigged, everyone knew which way that was going to go. Hasbro does some similar shenanigans sometimes too - everything on the list ends up getting produced sooner or later anyway...

It's not really a vote, it's more like market research. In the example of the Nebulon B / Gunship / Bomber, that was probably more about testing the waters to see if there was any interest for a Neb-B or a Bomber, knowing full well the gunship would win. Sure enough, a smaller scale Neb-B shows up, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a system-scale bomber next year too, especially in their new 'simplified' sets.

"I’m a MASSIVE Star Wars fan. But Star Wars shouldn’t have even been an option in this poll."

Same here. 80% of my collection is made of SW sets. Yet, I would have preferred something else.

I’m honestly tired that the “YouTube guy that shall not be named” uses his channel to bully LEGO into doing what he wants. It worked with the 501st battle pack, the drop ship and now this. And when he does not get what he wants, he just whines. It’s ok to be critical (many others are) but there’s a difference between being critical and whining. It’s sad that he’s becoming a leader of some sort.

"

Yeah I feel this one. I have a love hate relationship with MandR's channel. Its fun and he certainly has a nice collection to show off, and I absolutely adore the 501st set (I own two copies of it). To his credit if I would have been smart enough to set up a YouTube community 5 years or so ago, monetize it and use fan support to fund my Lego collection without breaking my own wallet I would have done the same. But having one voice in the community being so loud and amplifying is kind of dangerous. It sort of feels like Lego is pigeonholing Star Wars sometimes to fit what MandR's vision of what Lego Star Wars is, and listen while there are some things I agree with MandR as for what I want from Lego, there are other things I want that I fear just as easily could get snuffed out if everything Mand focused on keeps getting the prime billing. Yes, I am ultimately glad his effort for the 501st set produced a nice set, but seeing his influence more and more affect fan votes like this is starting to get frustrating, especially when stuff like Lilo and Stitch and Jaws would have been more appealing in my opinion (I was torn by the re-vote on Ideas a while back that produced the ISS set. I am a huge space nerd so I voted on the ISS, but that Stitch model from Lego Master Tyler was my very close second pick).

In general I think the AFOL community has a lot of power in influencing Lego's decisions, more than we often recognize and are self aware about. I know its been acknowledged that there is a "Brickset" effect on Ideas projects, helping to draw awareness to projects to help them cross that 10,000 threshold. But there is a danger to this too. I think for example of how influential Bionicle was for me as a kid and how much I have enjoyed rediscovering it as an adult, but if Lego had listened to its AFOL community at the time they would have been told "Bionicle is all clone set trash, cancel it and bring back Space, Castle and Pirates!" then I would have been robbed from a theme I and many other people my age fully enjoyed and love. I think the same thing and try and guard my criticism of themes such as Ninjago, or Nexo Knights or other new Lego IP's because I know that as much as I want to strongarm Lego to "do Bionicle G3 already darnit!" it could very well be robbing kids of their own unique themes and experiences that they will fall in love with, rather than dragging around the bloated corpse of a franchise that has meaning for nostalgic mid-20 something year olds. And I kind of see that happening with the MandR fandom collective, they are shaping Star Wars sets a bit into something they want to see without really observing what the kids who actually buy the sets want. Yes I think the 501st set was great and it was a "why didn't Lego do this one already" moment, but to much of one vocal fandom voice can very easily disrupt the natural eb and flow of ideas that Lego follows in appealing to their main audience."

I am a big fan of Ryan's 501st movement and channel but his "Jar Jar Binks Freedom Allaince Coaltion" is the stupidest thing ever. I will unsubscribe if Jar Jar is the next Brickhead. It has gone too far this time. However the eb and flow normally does tend to go towards another X-wing and Tie Fighter, so I think it needs to be disrupted every now and then.

Why does Lego even allow mandrproductions to do anything when he runs a homophobic, hateful podcast weekly https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZzTrc4uCwUzb7R8ce15TTA ? My kid watched many Lego youtubers but when he turned onto this Ryan kid, he started spewing some stuff about the sjws ruining culture according to his mandr cohost Timmy, and how being gay is bad for families. And this is who's deciding what lego sets we get.

Also the ryan kid is so rude in general. If you disagree with him, you're an idiot, you're a hater, he'll throw all of that on you when I tried to be civil talking to him. If Lego does more star wars sets that are popular he complains, like remakes but if Lego does more star wars over new stuff it's a win. Doesnt make sense

It hurts my head to read these comments I mean what did you expect? Star Wars has more characters than all 3 of these combined and it’s pretty popular.

There's not really much they can legally do, especially if he's located in the US with 1st Amendment protections. They can refuse to supply him with free review sets, but if he's got a robust enough income stream, that's hardly going to grind him to a halt.

Seeing Mand talks about set leaks pretty loosely my guess is he isn't part of the Lego Ambassador network then, so yeah really nothing Lego can do other than continue to exclude him from the network.

He is. And with everything he says, I can’t understand why LEGO would allow this.

SHIRTLESS BEN SWOLO OR I DO NOT CARE.

(Lilo and Stitch would have been a way better choice though, hope they still make them since there's a bunch of other Disney Brickheadz)

bruh MandR NEEDS some punishing from the lego group.

Yeah, thinking about this almost makes me grind my teeth. I’ll just continue watching Jang do it right, as one commenter already mentioned above.

Corporations always give us a “choice.” This is nothing new. This was expected. Even if SW didn’t win, it was still going to win.

it's like elections in Russia – you know the winner beforehead.

I'm happy, I voted Star Wars, the other themes simply didn't interest me and I like Brickheadz.

I suspect Star Wars won, not because of conspiracy or secrets (which frankly is mind boggling that people even mention that for a toy), but simply because it gained the majority of votes; odd how that works huh!

Edit: Oh and reading the comments, I have never watched this MandR dude. I voted for what I wanted.

Why?! WHY?! What is wrong with you people(kidding). We get plenty of SW every year. We could’ve gotten Jaws!

"easy, combine star wars and Jaws. Give us either the Asteroid Worm from Empire Strikes Back, or the Krayt Dragon from The Mandalorian, Season 2 Episode 1 or Chapter 9: The Marshal"

how would that work?

Well I guess another star wars one is ok. They really need to give us one for the following characters:
- R2D2
- C3P0,
- The emperor
- Queen Amydala
- Darth Maul
- Lando
Plus there an number of others that are well recognized from the Jedi , lots of selection from the bounty hunters and other droids. And we need at least one Ewok.

Also there is a good chance that we will still see Lilo & Stitch as well as some other from Disneys stable of character since there are to be two Disney sets coming this year as we already know.

And finally I have a feeling that at some this year (my money's on halloween) it won't be safe for out Minifiugres to go in the water. This past Halloween we were given Frankenstein, the first in hopefully along line of Brickheadz portraying Universal Movie Monsters. And wouldn't you know it but guess which Hollywood studio is the home of JAWS? Thats right universal. I should note here as well that if they are gonna tease us with Frankenstein's monster then I sure as hell hope that we get to see the release of sets for the following monsters as well:
- Dracula
- The Wolfman
- The Mummy
- The Invisible Man
- The Creature from the Black Lagoon
- The Bride of Frankenstein
- The Phantom of the Opera (yes look it up he is a univeral monster)

And not that this might ever happen but they should look into seeing if the can production rights for other scary movie baddies like: Freddy Kruger, Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Chucky, and many others. Who knows,

As for another Minecraft set, n0ot necessary. have never played the game and the onlty reason i have the Steve and Creeeper set is so that my Brickheadz collection is as complete as i can get it
