This set highlights the loose connection between the product name and content. This LEGO tub is labelled as 'Mission to Mars', but the only model clearly connected to such a theme is the space shuttle. The pirate hat on one of the minifigures provides a nod to another fan favourite theme. Although these sets do provide hints back to favourite themes such as Classic Space, the LEGO Group is aiming to use them to emphasise creative building and avoid prescriptive models – so items such as the shuttle are probably intended as inspiration rather than having instructions included.
This colourful set includes some interesting pieces for a basic brick pack, such as the wings shown on the box and a Unikitty tail.
This Fun Future set appropriately features a robot on the box – but also a macaw, again suggesting that the relationship between the name of the set and content is only a loose link.
This set has some interesting parts – the map and wheel reference the classic Pirates theme. Beyond that, some of the moulded pieces shown on the box are included in interesting colours – the Bright Yellowish Green treasure chest and Bright Orange fish being two examples.
Despite the octopus on the box and the Ocean's Bottom title, this is clearly recognising the long-running Castle theme's contribution to the LEGO Group's history.
This new LEGO theme is expected to launch in January 2018.
