    In this video we look at the shortest lived LEGO themes. These LEGO themes contained LEGO sets that did not last long due to their lack in popularity or LEGO's lack of new set ideas for the theme. Ultimately, these themes and sets were discontinued and forgotten. Nowadays, these LEGO sets are hard to find online and some have become extremely valuable. Some LEGO fans refer to these as LEGO's secret sets or LEGO's hidden sets. Do you have any of these sets? Watch the entire video to see them all - Enjoy!

    Dino 2010 was an alternate version of Dino Attack. The original Dino Attack was too violent and was immediately pulled from shelves from everywhere except in North America. Lego then revised the theme, which contained the same builds but without the weapons and instead included cages for the dinos to be captured in.

      Yes! That's what I was gonna post in the comments too. I clearly remember younger me having almost all the (Dino 2010) sets-I loved the huge heli and the sick minifigs-but being super confused when I started playing that one Dino Attack game on the LEGO website. I really wanted to have the same vehicles that were in the game... but given I grew up in central Europe I never had the chance to get my hands on one of the Dino Attack sets.

    So in regards to Avatar the Last Airbender, the reason it was two sets wasn't just because the show was gonna end with the third season, but rather they did a competition in 2006 where they released two sets for Avatar TLA and three sets for SpongeBob SquarePants as part of the Nickelodeon theme and whichever show sold the most sets would become its own theme. SpongeBob won by far, and that's why SpongeBob went on to get more sets. I wish Avatar TLA got a third set, a buildable APPA would be *AWESOME*

    Lego Universe actually had more sets or items that you can obtain for the game. There were 10 brick built pods with an exclusive minifigures in a geo cash promo before the game's launch. If you got one, then you could get the minifigure outfit and pod in the game. The second was game cards sold at Toys R Us that had a code to redeem an animal companion to fight in battles with your character.

      also, i wouldn't exactly say universe was ahead of its time. it was mis-managed and i don't believe the decision to use the subscription model did it any favors, either. they over-hyped, under-delivered, and then dropped "you need a paid subscription" on everyone. i've read there were internal issues with the actual dev studio, too...

    LEGO has always been something great but unachievable. I only got the tiny sets we could actually afford - if you look online now, those are also the only sets sold out on lego's website, so they're still the only ones people can actually afford. But those are also the worst sets, only containing a handful pieces kids can actually reuse to be creative with and they're not really nice. And at the same time, only desperate or rich parents will buy the expensive sets, that people actually want, that kids can actually play with, that contain pieces that can be reused in creative ways, that are way too expensive, which is why they don't sell.

    Me when SpitBrix thinks Nickelodeon's Avatar the Last Airbender and James Cameron's Avatar are the same thing: *The Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai* ...like bruh, how can you make that mistake? You can just tell by the boxes that they're different things! That aside, it's a shame Lego Universe didn't last long. It made me dream big with the things I could build in that game. We need more creativity in the world today. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.

    Seems to me there's a lot of themes missing here... Throwbots/Slizers, RoboRiders, Galidor, even Chima... Throwbots/Slizers lated the longest of this group and only had something like 12 sets, based on elements and such. Galidor lasted less than a year and the TV show that paired with it only lasted a handful of episodes. RoboRiders only had something like 4 sets (I had "The Boss"). And I think we all know how Chima ended up... they had a couple of the larger sets on clearance at a local Toys R Us during the closing sale for under 20 USD...

      Pretty sure Throwbots only had 8 sets (2 waves of 4), unless the Slizers version got more that just never came to the States.

    Here’s some missed opportunities for LEGO that they could still do today but for whatever reason will not despite being obvious:
    1. Getting the Nickelodeon brand back. The NickToons shows from the 1990’s to early 2000’s in particular I think would sell very well, both for being suitable for kids and nostalgia bait. SpongeBob, The Last Airbender, and TMNT are obvious since they’ve been done before, but they could still do so much more like Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, Invader Zim, among many others. Even if they don’t want to give them a lot of actual sets, they could still do decently well with a minifigure series.
    2. The Amazing World of Gumball. On the topic of cartoons, Gumball is by far the most liked and successful show Cartoon Network has put out for over a decade, and has basically became the SpongeBob of that side. Not seeing it being represented even back when Dimensions was out was shocking enough, but it’s even more surprising as time goes on. You’d think they’d at the very least make a set of his house with like 8 mini figures in it, Simpsons style. (Except The Simpsons actually had quite a few sets and a minifigure series oddly enough despite being less appropriate for children) It’s honestly very confusing on why they’ve done absolutely *nothing* with it. You think them abandoning the DC theme in more recent years is bad? This is even worse.
    3. Anything based on the Fantastic Four and X-Men. Yes they released some rare X-Men stuff over the years, but now that Disney owns the Marvel brand entirely they should be made a lot more often, and Fantastic Four also still has absolutely nothing aside from an appearance in the 2013 game LEGO Marvel Superheroes, and one minifigure once with Doctor Doom in a Spider-Man Daily Bugle set of all things.
    4. More stuff related to Bionicle. Outside of the 90 years of play and 2023 Tahu sets, surprisingly very little is being done to celebrate the G1 iteration. I’m not even asking for more construction sets, just brick stuff that makes them more presentable like that new Tahu is, and with more characters. (Especially the rest of the Toa Mata)
    5. More Nintendo franchise representation. Nothing too crazy here either, just some Mario and Zelda minifigures would be nice, although I am kinda surprised that LEGO hasn’t tried jumping hard on Pokémon too. (Yes I know another brick company has them, but they could still make a deal to take it themselves)
    6. Sonic, definitely Sonic. There’s just so much characters and set ideas they could make out of the classic series, "modern" series, and movies alone that it’s crazy. It’s another set series idea like Gumball that I’m surprised hasn’t been absolutely full of yet. Unlike Gumball though, it at least got a Lego Dimensions and Ideas set representation, which is of course better than the former having nothing.
    7. Despicable Me and Illumination. I’m not really a fan of their content, but you’d think there’d be a lot more of it after they made sets for The Rise of Gru. I have no idea if it’s because not enough kids got them and sales were bad or what, but almost every time I see a kid in real life they have at least *some* interest in those dang minions.
    8. A Jetsons set, since they did one on The Flintstones, and because of their brief run with Scooby-Doo. It doesn’t even need to be a big one, just a small thing for collectors.
    Honorable mention goes to some Spider-Man No Way Home stuff, since that movie came out too long ago to promote it now. They could’ve made two sets by the time of its home release: One small with Iron Spider and fully suited up Green Goblin at the bridge, and another medium with Spider-Man’s half Iron suit, Green Goblin in his cape, and all the other big deal characters for the final battle. (The other villains, Tobey’s Spider-Man, and Andrew’s Spider-Man) This would’ve been a much bigger thing than that one time of putting Spider-Man in a Civil War set. It also would’ve given more people an opportunity to have that rare SDCC The Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure, or at least a variation that looked close to it. There was also an Electro polybag to promote that film as well, so I have no idea why they don’t want to do any of it, let alone the fact that they already did sets for Spider-Man 1 and 2 a long time ago before Lego Marvel was a normal thing.
