My ideas for new themes would be...
1. Ancient- Roman, Greek, Norsemen, ect.
2. Monsters- Bigfoot, Yeti, Loch Ness, Hydra, Gorgan, Grendel
3. Industrial- steel mills, farms, power plants (nuclear as well as fossil fuel)
4. Giant construction/mining equipment such as walking draglines (like Big
Muskie prior to being scrapped), stripping shovels, bucket wheel excavators,
dredges
5. Military (forget Bionicrap- the guys in uniform of all nations were
always the true heroes) tanks, planes, artillery, ships (imagine a
minifig-scale USS Nimitz!)
Thats all for now...-Harvey
