Ya I think unikitty was a swing and a miss for lego. Same with Power Puff Girls as a theme. Not the best market research on that one I think.
I think it's just an issue with timing. The Lego Movie was released more than 4 years ago (holy crap), and they're just now pushing the Unikitty line and show. If the timing was better and the Unikitty show and sets were released shortly after the Lego Movie itself, it would have been much more successful.
I despise cold weather, but I always like arctic themed Lego sets, going all the way back to the Technic Arctic Action series that introduced the Technic figures. Will have to try and get some of this series. Similar colors to the previous City Arctic subtheme from a couple years back. Glad they will almost match with those.
TBH I think they're trying what would be the opposite: Reintroduce Unikitty to the general public to start hyping up for TLM2, which is coming out next year.
I finally decided to pick up the U-wing. I’m very happy with it. It’s a really cool looking ship.. and it actually might be my second favorite non-UCS Star Wars set behind the silencer.
Why couldn't The Lego Batman Movie bags be like this? Then I might finally have a Batman Beyond. Though knowing Lego they'd make every suit BUT Beyond.
It's about frikkin' time! I was just thinking how useful pieces like these would be and boom! There they are.

Wow! 1x1 brackets! These will absolutely come in handy. Just wait till these parts get added to LEGO Digital Designer in the future...
I've been hankering for some Middle Earth LEGOs. Broke down and bought a Mirkwood Elf Guard polybag from Amazon for $12...ugh. Only set that I don't own (and there are several, unfortunately) that is still reasonable is Dol Guldur Battle. Everything else is going to ridiculous pricing...but that's to be expected after retirement, I suppose. I just wish we'd get something new Middle Earth related. Minas Tirith, Bree w/ more Ringwraiths, a Rohan soldier set, still need a Faramir and an Eowyn... And yes, where is the Eye of Sauron from Lego Batman Movie?
I'm looking at adding another house to my city. I was looking at the Creator Changing Seasons house. Does anybody got it?
I have it but have never put it together Maybe I will do that this weekend. If you have a chance to get it close to retail you should jump on it since it's retired. I think that one was the last traditional style house before they switched to these modular designs, which I am not a fan of. It was the Creator house (4956) that drew me back into collecting Lego and had me collecting all of the Creator houses - beach house, hillside house, townhouse, family house, etc.
I've been doing the same actually, though I'm not missing too many. Unfortunately like you said, they're all pretty expensive now. Do you have a link to the listing for that Mirkwood Elf polybag? (If there was more than one available.) That's one I always really wanted.
