This video was a lot of fun to make! I love looking back at older LEGO themes and I do wish we got more creative subthemes these days! Let me know if you remember all of these themes, and please help us on our goal of 10k Subscribers!! Check out part 2 here - ua-cam.com/video/pWei0ZYQp9o/v-deo.html
Do you think that the Lego avatar (james cammeron) theme is cancelled? Or do you think new sets will come out next year with Avatar : Fire and Ash releasing?
I really liked it in the first season, but the second felt like exactly the same just in different colours, which, looking at the minifigures, isn't too wrong
I feel like early 2000s lego had too many unique things that we didn't get the chance to appreciate them but now there are too little unique things with most ideas being thrown into city or ninjago sets
Nexo Knights was all the rage when i was younger with my friends, we all wanted all the tiles for the shields. The egyptian theme looks like something i woulda loved too. Great video!
The tiny scarab attack set from pharoahs quest was actually one of my favourite sets as a kid and one of the first ones I re-bought once I got back into lego. So small and so simple but just so perfect.
Definitely bummed they cancelled the Monster Fighters... you could have such a great annual set if they had kept that. I also loved the Nexo Knights and have all the Ultimate versions of the main heroes, and created my own Orange version of an ultimate hero.
@@saschafeld5528 one type of classic monster yes... but different scenarios you can place them in, to include a CMF style. they do the same thing with XWings. Plus you have to think of the iterations you can do of say Frankenstein's monster, or how many different versions of a vampire you have.
You really unlocked some core memories for me with Galaxy Squad and Ultra Agents. I hadn't seen them for years and forgot that these themes exist and now suddenly the old memories of them came back through your video.🔥
I'm actually tired of ninjago. I have no problem withe theme itselfe and it is clearley a Popular theme but I'v just grown tired of it. I liked the first couple themes up till the overlotd and stone army but once rebooted came out it just seamed so diferant from the anciant mythical origion. I liked the old action themes I grewup with from the mid 80s to earley 2000s.
@@Nona_1989 Yes those are bothe creative. I herd a rumor or reason nexo knights was cancalled was becouse ninjago fans sed it was too close to or a nockoff of ninjago. I hope uther creative themes aran't compared to ninjago too much and have a fate like that.
Monster Fighters and Powerminers were awesome. Pharaos Quest was great too, even though in my opinion it is far inferior to the Adventurers Theme that released 1998. Never cared much for Nexo Knights, Galaxy Squad or Ultra Agents. They were not my cup of tea, but I wont deny that there are some great sets among them, for those who enjoy these sorts of themes. To me the golden era of LEGO themes were the 80s and 90s were almost every theme hits for me and I love the general asthetic of the sets from back then.
These aren’t cancelled or failed themes. This is what LEGO has done for most of its themes. Limited runs over a few years. Almost every space, castle, pirates subtheme has done this. Ninjago is the anomaly.
I like to give a mention to LEGO BIONICLE 2016 while not as amazing as the original 2001 run it was a much easier take on BIONICLE to get into for newcommers each of the Toa actually looked different and the parts they used were much easier to mix and match than the older ones
I actually have a Nexo Nights book with an exclusive Merlock figure, and poster. I first got the book at Bealls and when looking inside, I really wanted the sets, but then I learned that the theme was actually cancelled :( . I really wanted that Ultimate Clay set
I remember getting the Lego club and the Lego catalog for many, many years when I was little. I still the binder with just about every magazine from 2007 (maybe 2006?) to like 2015, 2016. I honestly wish I would have kept getting them
Power Miners was the goat, the exitement i had as a kid when i got Crystal King as a christmas present to go along with my Thunder Driller and Crystal Sweeper. I still have them now, some 14-ish years later. We even had Rock Raiders for the Playstation
Monster fighters will always hold a place in my heart, I used to use the 2010s Batman sets and make them fight the monsters. Absolutely loved the sets as a kid
My grandpa bought pretty much all Monster Fighters sets ever released for me and my brother. Yes, we own the haunted house, castle, ghost train, cemetery, etc. I mean I seriously doubt there's one we don't have. The total worth is probably about $1000 now! But they are worth so much more to us, we played with them and used them to make stop-motion videos which can still be watched here on UA-cam, but we made them while in elementary school and they are kinda cringe lol. But we still love them. I plan to keep them throughout my life and never sell them. They should really bring that theme back! I also had some small Chima sets still there at my grandparents' house. They are in a large plastic tub at the bottom of a big stack of LEGO, since we stopped playing with them years ago and I haven't even opened that container in years. I remember watching the Chima show and being mildly entertained by it as a kid. It never held as special of a place in my heart as Monster Fighters though. I wonder if I would ever want to sell them... Please make a vid on all the Monster Fighters sets if you haven't already!
holy, this just unlocked a core memory in my brain. Back in the days i always wanted the Vampire Castle and the Scorpion Pyramid. Sadly never got them, but some other cool shit in exchange. But I still feel like those sets are just goated idk, feels like LEGO set design peak to me
I have something to say abput each of those themes and they each have a warm place in my heart but Pharaoh's Quest is something ELSE. You see, English isn't my first language. When I was a kid, we had an assignment in english class to make a PowerPoint presentation in english about anything we want and MEMORIZE it BY HEART. I chose to make mine on the Pharaoh's Quest theme. I absolutely KILLED it, I remembered everything like a parrot imitating sounds and not knowing what they mean, and I think this was a very important milestone in my english-learning process. Also, I own the Scarab set, the Cursed cobra set and the Sphinx set, but I've always dreamed to get the Pyramid scorpion set (I never did).
Oh my goodness that is so cool! I think you should definitely buy the Pyramid set if you've got some money to spare since it sounds like it was such a pivotal part of your English-language journey! Thanks for the comment!
Pharoah's Quest was PEAK. I was lucky enough to own all six sets and since I knew nothing about the "official" lore for the theme, I made up my own convoluted lore where each of the golden pieces had its own magical power and the protagonists were constantly in battle with the mummies for control of the magic. The giant stone creatures made for some epic battles, especially with all the old timey vehicles and weapons the protags had. I definitely got a kick out of the unique baseplate, I wish Lego would make more stuff like that
I remember all of these. I think Chima deserves a honorable mention, since the sets really explored making realistic animal based vehicles that both looked cool, and were fun to play with, and the minifigs were awesome.
Most of these sets released when I was a kid. We couldn't really afford them, so I would just sit and salivate over the brochures that were released twice a year with the new sets and that I'd pick up in a local toyshop - I could literally spend hours like that, imagining how cool would it be to play with those legos. Oh, the good days XD
@@Brickster6745 Yes youngling, the 90’s was a wonderful era for us Lego Maniacs, yet there are still yet older themes! Not my fault the far off YEAR TWO THOUSAND~ is behind us rather than in front!
I would love to have all the Nexo Knight sets, but didn't have the money for em. :( I do love most of the older sets cause of their themes and the transparent/neon parts they had.
To be perfectly honest, they're all underrated for one reason: We couldn't afford them as kids, now we wish we had them all if only they were still sold. And, a sadder reason: They sparked joy when we were children. A spark that few recent sets can ignite as adults, simply because they are designed to appeal to kids. As such, new sets don't appeal to me where the old, and technically hit-or-miss designed sets do.
Please take a look at LEGO EXO FORCE. So many unique parts and Hair pieces. The villians were also so awsome. And they did a cool homage to the theme in the new released 60421.👍
There is something very unique about the early 2010's lego themes. Lego has really lost it's way when it comes to making original themes. I feel like there is too much focus on non-original themes. These original themes like galaxy squad ooze of pure creativity and it sucks there aren't many creative ideas for original themes nowadays.
If Lego wanted to both make a lot of money and make a bunch of their older fans, who grew up on these themes happy they would do an icons release kinda thing. Like imagine if once a year, every year we got a reasonably large set that was either a remake or reimagining of these classice themes. If they made a new power miners, atlantis, space police, Agents set it would sell incredibly well AND would be so amazing to see it with updated pieces and building techniques. PLUS it would be a love letter to what lego once was. kinda in the same vain as ideas but souly based on sets from this era. They did a classic space and castle set, why not a power miners set?
How could you leave out Exo-Force?!?! I actually liked what they tried to do with Nexo Knights. One of the last sets was basically a cartoonified Warhammer 40k Land Raider!!! If they continued, maybe they would have taken more and more inspiration from that universe, which would have been really cool.
This is something I miss about Lego, just wish we got more original themes, the only ones I've seen in recent years is Dreamzz and Hidden Side from a few years back. They still make a lot of these sets really cool and really unique, but I guess they just never make enough money, when compared to the amount Lego rakes in from Gooner Gamers and Star Wars fans.
If you assume that Lego sets are generally 30-50% overpriced, you could really think about buying some. I mean, of course, as a 90s kid, I used to think Lego was endlessly cool. But it was already clear to me back then that Lego itself was never cheap. I just had a lot of luck getting sets and stones from friends and older relatives. If I ever wanted to buy Lego for my children, I would make sure that the prices were really well reduced. Or just try to get sets and stones reasonably cheaply on the internet. Alternatives like bluebrixx and other manufacturers would also be no problem, as they are significantly cheaper.
I think the rational was that kids would connect more with a theme if they were there from the beginning. Which is why you would get a space theme or an underwater theme or a mining theme, that were all essentially the same thing. Some humans in some sort of protective gear would fight some monster race for crystals. There would be 2 or 3 waves over a two year period then the kids could get all hyped up for the exciting "new" theme replacing it.
Power miners died because i can remember as a kid it was only the first sets that was interesting to me. The lava stone monsters kinda missed. Think it was because Atlantis or space police came out which just had cooler space ships. Or really cool gaint sea monsters
Nexo Knights didn't do quite enough to satisfy Castle fans or Space fans I don't think, being a composite of both. However I think it was mostly let down by the colour scheme, which was too messy and looked like the negative filter on your phone.
Great canceled theme: LEGO Ben 10 Alien Force That Swampfire flame piece would be SO good for ivy and such today, and the Chromastone piece would make for excellent small crystals.
Lego Nexo Knights was a theme that l was borderline obsessed with when it first released. The show had me gripped and the sets were just… wow. I rewatched the show recently and I actually quite enjoyed it. Yes it’s repetitive, but the characters themselves are entertaining enough to keep me engaged. And the soundtrack, while generic, is far from bad
Nexo nights had such cool sets in retrospect, but I remember hating the theme because it could have easily just been Ninjago and it sucked to me to have no genuine historical theme of any kind and instead have 2 separate 'futuristic' historical themes at the same time
1:30 -says this dude is his favourite -Specifically says he likes his metal leg -uses a picture where you can't see his metal leg -refuses to elaborate -leaves/goes to the next theme
LOL very true ahah. I think I saw he was in the image and figured you'd be able to see his leg lol. If you look up reviews of the Vampire Hearse set, you should be able to find J2G's review where they show off the figure in more detail!
I love this video and themes Lego(canceled),especially Nexo knights. When i was a kid, I loved this show,and watching again until begin 2019,when Lego officially knew the Hiden side,so far my best lego theme's: 1)Bionicle; 2)Legend of Chima; 3)Ninjago(old version(2011-2017); 4)Hero factory; 5)Mixels; 6)Atlantis; 7)Nexo knights; 8)Pharaoh Quest; 9)racers(world racers(2010)); 10)pirates;
The single best cancelled theme is Bionicle though. And then there's Rock Raiders and Pirates, that's probably the top 3, and none of them was mentioned. Other good ones are Mars Mission, Aqua Raiders, Blacktron, Castle, ...
I loved Nexo Knights for a good little while during the first season and first wave of the show. It's been years since I've seen it but I know that I really didn't like the direction when it came to the second season/wave and I think it was a great initial idea that just ran outta steam too quick

GREAT LEGO MAN CAM LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS
Atlantis and chima were GOATED themes I'd love for them to come back, especially atlantis
Yes same
I still have the ring thingys
I liked Nexo Knights but only when I really got into it and it stopped being cool as soon as the theme ended.
I liked it up until season 3, both in the sets and the show.
I really liked it in the first season, but the second felt like exactly the same just in different colours, which, looking at the minifigures, isn't too wrong
@@voodoo5143 seasons 3 and 4 are when the show fell off.
The concept of tech nights was really orignal and cool
I loved nexo nights. I got some of the really cool sets. It had some amazing pieces as well.
I feel like early 2000s lego had too many unique things that we didn't get the chance to appreciate them but now there are too little unique things with most ideas being thrown into city or ninjago sets
Nexo Knights was all the rage when i was younger with my friends, we all wanted all the tiles for the shields. The egyptian theme looks like something i woulda loved too. Great video!

Cool!
Yeah having a Halloween theme would be cool
ONE annual set maybe. But there are only a couple of classic movie monsters and you cant use them over and over again.
@@saschafeld5528 one type of classic monster yes... but different scenarios you can place them in, to include a CMF style. they do the same thing with XWings. Plus you have to think of the iterations you can do of say Frankenstein's monster, or how many different versions of a vampire you have.
No mention of the 2012 Dino theme? My friend had the Dino Defense HQ, and that thing is burned into my mind.
Ocean Interceptor was pretty cool too
You really unlocked some core memories for me with Galaxy Squad and Ultra Agents. I hadn't seen them for years and forgot that these themes exist and
now suddenly the old memories of them came back through your video.🔥
God I miss power miners, loved that series of sets as a kid, great video, gave me such a huge wave of nostalgia.
They look cool but how many different minigvehicles can you make?
I have a couple nexo knights sets. I miss that theme.
I also really liked Space Police and the original Lego Agents. I still want the Brick Daddy set but it's so expensive
Space Police and Agents were great. So was Exo Force
@@user-kv5lq9xm8c Omg I loved Exo Force. Back then was what i consider the Golden Age of Lego

I wish Monster Fighters had more love, I want it back lol, I have the ghost Train and castle, had the swamp and the chariot
I wish that the Monster Fighters theme would come back! Im a big horror fan, so that would be great! Keep up the great work
I actually have a Nexo Nights book with an exclusive Merlock figure, and poster. I first got the book at Bealls and when looking inside, I really wanted the sets, but then I learned that the theme was actually cancelled :( . I really wanted that Ultimate Clay set
Original lego agents was absolutely banging

Power Miners was the goat, the exitement i had as a kid when i got Crystal King as a christmas present to go along with my Thunder Driller and Crystal Sweeper. I still have them now, some 14-ish years later. We even had Rock Raiders for the Playstation
Nexo Knights were COOL! I loved how they were castle and Tech...and loads of cool Mech
I grew up with nexo nights and had practically all the sets except some
Nexo Knights were really cool. We had a few sets of the knights. So was Galaxy Squad and Ultra Agents.
The YT story videos for Monster Fighter were amazing. The ghost train was my son’s first build by himself.
Aqua Raiders was really cool, when I was a kid those sets were some of my favorites
Monster fighters will always hold a place in my heart, I used to use the 2010s Batman sets and make them fight the monsters. Absolutely loved the sets as a kid
Goddamn I miss Nexo Knights 😢 Power Miners is also very nostalgic cause it reminds me of Clutch Powers.
Wait this is just every lego theme I remember from my childhood... ones I had and ones I wished I had when I saw them in the magazine and catalog
At some point I’m gonna try to collect every ultra agent set
That would be amazing, do note, some of the second year sets are super pricey nowadays though :(
This is one of the only themes where I truly, genuinely want EVERY set, because each villain is completely unique and not just "mummy" or "monster".
My grandpa bought pretty much all Monster Fighters sets ever released for me and my brother. Yes, we own the haunted house, castle, ghost train, cemetery, etc. I mean I seriously doubt there's one we don't have. The total worth is probably about $1000 now!

Ultra agents was so fire
A Galaxy Squad Cartoon woulda been dope as hell
Pharoah's Quest was PEAK. I was lucky enough to own all six sets and since I knew nothing about the "official" lore for the theme, I made up my own convoluted lore where each of the golden pieces had its own magical power and the protagonists were constantly in battle with the mummies for control of the magic. The giant stone creatures made for some epic battles, especially with all the old timey vehicles and weapons the protags had. I definitely got a kick out of the unique baseplate, I wish Lego would make more stuff like that
I remember Monster Fighters because the theme was ongoing when I visited Legoland in 2012!
Galaxy Squad was awesome. Definitely one of my favorite themes of all time.
I wish I got more into Nexo Knights. I only ever picked up 3 of the mech sets.
Ultra Agents 🔥🔥🔥
Ninjago, chima and nexp knights were the 3 pillars of my childhood
I remember all of these. I think Chima deserves a honorable mention, since the sets really explored making realistic animal based vehicles that both looked cool, and were fun to play with, and the minifigs were awesome.

Bionicle
Exo Force
Aqua Raiders
Atlantis
Knights Kingdom
Pirates

Ultra agents wad really good. The villains were quite rheumatic and colorful
Great video!!
I had legit had most of these sets a kid, omg I wish i kept them if only I knew they would be canceled and then marked tf up in price
To be perfectly honest, they're all underrated for one reason:
We couldn't afford them as kids, now we wish we had them all if only they were still sold.
And, a sadder reason: They sparked joy when we were children. A spark that few recent sets can ignite as adults, simply because they are designed to appeal to kids. As such, new sets don't appeal to me where the old, and technically hit-or-miss designed sets do.
I liked all Chima, Nexo Knights, and Ninjago. I’m sad only one survived.
4:56 DAAAANNNNGGG that set is definitely not worth $120 USD 😅 Its not fair that so many themes failed just because they're not ninjago 😔
I honestly LOVE the monster fighters theme. they were WAY ahead of their time. the detail in the faces is just grealt
Please take a look at LEGO EXO FORCE. So many unique parts and Hair pieces. The villians were also so awsome. And they did a cool homage to the theme in the new released 60421.👍
Man Monster Hunters was cool af. Loved the theme even though I only ever bought the swamp set (was a broke kid at the time lmao)
Its a big task, but i would like you to go in depth into nexo knights! Its my favourite lego theme!
Hopefully in the future! I put it on my list of video ideas!!
@@LegoManCam 😁
I was so interested to know where the theme was gong to go before it got canceled. Even tried finding concept at to no avail.
There is something very unique about the early 2010's lego themes. Lego has really lost it's way when it comes to making original themes. I feel like there is too much focus on non-original themes. These original themes like galaxy squad ooze of pure creativity and it sucks there aren't many creative ideas for original themes nowadays.
If Lego wanted to both make a lot of money and make a bunch of their older fans, who grew up on these themes happy they would do an icons release kinda thing. Like imagine if once a year, every year we got a reasonably large set that was either a remake or reimagining of these classice themes. If they made a new power miners, atlantis, space police, Agents set it would sell incredibly well AND would be so amazing to see it with updated pieces and building techniques. PLUS it would be a love letter to what lego once was. kinda in the same vain as ideas but souly based on sets from this era. They did a classic space and castle set, why not a power miners set?
I wish we could get more Egyptian stuff or olympian stuff
2010s for Lego was just them throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck, but everything stuck (in hindsight at least)
How could you leave out Exo-Force?!?!
I actually liked what they tried to do with Nexo Knights. One of the last sets was basically a cartoonified Warhammer 40k Land Raider!!! If they continued, maybe they would have taken more and more inspiration from that universe, which would have been really cool.
I would love to buy a lego power miners set again. that theme was my childhood
1:11 that is in fact not the only lego ghost train as we got one for the Hidden side theme a while back
forgot that one existed! my bad
@ nah, I don’t blame you, Hidden Side was a really short lived theme, too bad though, it had so really cool sets like the aforementioned Ghost train
Ultra Agents were so good! All of these were so good
There was another that was really cool with dragons and even baby dragons from 2015-2018 it’s rlly cool it’s called Lego Elves
Galaxy squad and power miners were cold
This is something I miss about Lego, just wish we got more original themes, the only ones I've seen in recent years is Dreamzz and Hidden Side from a few years back. They still make a lot of these sets really cool and really unique, but I guess they just never make enough money, when compared to the amount Lego rakes in from Gooner Gamers and Star Wars fans.
Ultra agents getting canceled still annoys me to this day. Those sets were so fun.

I did love Power Miners, i remember the cool mining exoskeleton and the giant drill.
But what about Mars Mission?
Nexo Knights didn't do quite enough to satisfy Castle fans or Space fans I don't think, being a composite of both. However I think it was mostly let down by the colour scheme, which was too messy and looked like the negative filter on your phone.
Great canceled theme: LEGO Ben 10 Alien Force
That Swampfire flame piece would be SO good for ivy and such today, and the Chromastone piece would make for excellent small crystals.
Lego Nexo Knights was a theme that l was borderline obsessed with when it first released. The show had me gripped and the sets were just… wow.
I rewatched the show recently and I actually quite enjoyed it. Yes it’s repetitive, but the characters themselves are entertaining enough to keep me engaged. And the soundtrack, while generic, is far from bad
Nexo nights had such cool sets in retrospect, but I remember hating the theme because it could have easily just been Ninjago and it sucked to me to have no genuine historical theme of any kind and instead have 2 separate 'futuristic' historical themes at the same time
Hi love your video
❤
1:30 -says this dude is his favourite
-Specifically says he likes his metal leg
-uses a picture where you can't see his metal leg
-refuses to elaborate
-leaves/goes to the next theme
LOL very true ahah. I think I saw he was in the image and figured you'd be able to see his leg lol. If you look up reviews of the Vampire Hearse set, you should be able to find J2G's review where they show off the figure in more detail!
@LegoManCam I was not expecting you to comment but thanks for the info and stuff have a good day/night mate👋
I love this video and themes Lego(canceled),especially Nexo knights. When i was a kid, I loved this show,and watching again until begin 2019,when Lego officially knew the Hiden side,so far my best lego theme's:
1)Bionicle;
2)Legend of Chima;
3)Ninjago(old version(2011-2017);
4)Hero factory;
5)Mixels;
6)Atlantis;
7)Nexo knights;
8)Pharaoh Quest;
9)racers(world racers(2010));
10)pirates;
The single best cancelled theme is Bionicle though. And then there's Rock Raiders and Pirates, that's probably the top 3, and none of them was mentioned.
Other good ones are Mars Mission, Aqua Raiders, Blacktron, Castle, ...
Ultra agents, monster fighters and power miners needs to come back
The lack of Dino attack in videos like this is a crime against humanity.
Power miners were GOATED
I loved Nexo Knights for a good little while during the first season and first wave of the show. It's been years since I've seen it but I know that I really didn't like the direction when it came to the second season/wave and I think it was a great initial idea that just ran outta steam too quick
