WATCH: Five LEGO Avatar sets may be five too many

With the LEGO Group announcing a total of five sets based around the first Avatar film from 2009, will this new theme be a hit or a miss?

As in life, there are no guarantees when it comes to launching new LEGO products. For every successful LEGO Star Wars or Marvel theme, there’s a Prince of Persia or a Lone Ranger. So, by announcing a total of five sets based on the first Avatar film, which launched way back in 2009, the LEGO Group may be taking a bit of a gamble.

That’s not to say there isn’t a potential target audience out there for a LEGO Avatar theme and a combination of possibly innovative sets and a promotional push from the upcoming sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, could just do the trick.

In our latest YouTube and TikTok shorts, we take a quick look at all of the LEGO Avatar sets, including four just announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, and ponder whether five models based on a 13 year-old film is a big swing for the LEGO Group.
