Speaking of Ultra Agents, two of the elemental masters from Ninjago are literally just copies of existing Ultra Agents villains.

Some other lines linked together I can remember off the top of my head
Hidden Side featured a Ghost of Harry Cane from Adventurers
Power Miners and Atlantis both have the same character Brains
Johnny Thunder is a portrait in a Scooby Doo set
Aqua Raiders has the skeleton of King Leo in a set (bit of a stretch tbh)
The early CMFs that had bios had a lot of namedropping of other Lego characters too

Your list reminded me of another Lego theme in Lego theme cameo. In the game Drome Racers, there's a dude in the career menu garage called Rocket. It's very likely he's the Drome Racers rendition of Rocket Racer from the Lego Racers theme.
There's also a set where Knuckles gets a mechaThe 2024 leaks have begun!
I like this set; I think its side build with a closure rail and cool screen is excellent, and I also like the use of the Nexo shield on Shadow's bike.
He wants that fucking bat dead!

So several of the new 2024 sets have been revealed, and I have quite a few thoughts on them.
For Ninjago, I've never seen such a lazy line. This is disappointing because Ninjago is usually Lego's most creative theme, but this year it's Marvel-tier garbage mainly based around samey mecha with a few dragons. The small dragon gimmick sets look interesting, and the mech battle pack is a good value, but that's it. I know kids' favourite things in Ninjago are mecha and dragons, but this is oversaturation. They could have at least added combining and transforming play features so there's more substantial variation to the mecha sets. Hopefully they have more releases in March to make up for such a weak wave.
Fortunately the City sets for January are pretty good. The main sets are okay but nothing special, save for the crook hideout (I love that it has a clearance bar), and the race car transporter/police pursuit for giving us colourful muscle cars reminiscent of Racers. The fire station looks pretty futuristic as well; it has interesting numbered doors and an overhanging office. For the space sets they went full sci-fi, which resulted in some pretty cool futuristic starships and gargantuan rovers. The minifigures all have different coloured suits, which is reminiscent of Galaxy Squad. The space station is disappointing because it's just a ring structure with several small modules, an idea that's been used a lot in City recently, but the outpost is excellent with a sliding door, rocket, and crane / control tower.
Optimistically, Lego seems to be working around their "We can't do space because of Star Wars" restriction by putting a "Space" branding on sets from several themes such as City, Friends, Technic, and (most interestingly) Dreamzzz. The Dreamzzz space car looks cool, but having big thrusters on the end detracts from the sleekness. There's also a cool Sandman tower in Dreamzzz, which I think will be a pretty good set.

The M-Tron one looks badass. Also is that second one on the bottom row a Blacktron II fig?

I wonder if they're comfortable moving into space fantasy again since Disney has so thoroughly killed sales on both Star Wars and Marvel? Keep seeing that Black Panther bust on discount, same thing with the big Mando ship.

Na Lego will milk their licensed themes as much as they can. Why bother hiring some creative types and shift lego designer resources to create or hell, revive an original theme when the licensed themes are there.

The NASAboy must go. Everything else is a gem of varying quality.
Its a blacktron mutant, yes. Higher res pics exist. Also, way to jack my pfp.

Profile jacking was not intentional, but I changed it something else anyway.

Lego Twilight is officially a thing. No, this isn't a joke. The other set that was selected was a botanical garden, which seems unnecessary since we just got that Friends botanical garden this past summer.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, I suppose. Those new unlicensed space technic sets hearken back to an older era of LEGO technic design (fantastical, unlicensed, aimed at play over display), so I guess we must get some batshit insanity to compensate.

Got my nephews some Lego Star Wars sets for Christmas. Obi Wans Starfighter from episode 2 for the younger, and this Spider Tank from The Mandilorian for the older. Hope they like em.

There was also a Race car guy CMF a few years back that was heavily implied to be him. And then like last year or so they made Lego city stuntbike sets that just straight up had Rocket Racer in them and used the same face as "Race car guy" basically confirming it was him. He's unlockable in the new lego racing game that came out a while back but he's just called 'rocket stunt driver" and is missing the asymmetrical arms the actual figure has.
I could be remembering this wrong but I'm pretty sure something tied to or just in Drome Racers that outright says Rocket's actually Rocket Racer from Lego Racers which is weird because he's not a lego guy but then again some other lego themes like exo force and Knights Kingdom's tie in content also did that kinda thing.
Hopefully the torso doesn't have too much baked in damage to it because as cool of a figure as it is this is probably the only Blacktron II remake torso we're gonna get for a while given lego's track record. It's all been CMF or one time only set stuff redoing the 1 design with the II logo sometimes. That also reminds me how back in like 2014-2015 or so I got a lot of the brickforge halo reference armor sets that were colored to look like blacktron II torsos and helmets. crazy to believe it'll be around a decade back soon. Corona and orange man bad shit really just distorted time.

I'm sure many here are aware of Galidor, and that one of the figures was officially titled the "Kek Powerizer."
But did you know that there is another Galidor set called the "TDN Module"? What's that short for? "Total Death, Nigger", perhaps? What other secret messages are hiding in Galidor set names? Surely hundreds that I can't see yet, but this YouTube commenter has one more insight:
Don't you see? Galidor didn't fail, it was killed because its ARG and the intersection with the Ong's Hat ARG was connecting to real alternate timelines that had already developed advanced meme magic. LEGO was forced to pull the plug and take ex-(((McKinsey & Co))) employee Jorgen Vig Knudstorp as CEO soon after to oversee and direct LEGO's oracular interdimensional powers.

Shitposts aside, Galidor was a weird fucking theme but also kinda cool. I actually had nearly all the sets, well not all the sets but all the actual characters. The show failed but there was other material that did better lego somehow didn't pay attention to for some reason probably tied to there not being numbers tracking for it. I remember they had like an online game that was pretty in depth and well liked, kinda like the Bionicle ones from around the same time. Lego would never come out with something like Galidor nowadays and if they did they'd charge out the ass for it like they do with some sets because "oh specialized parts are worth more" and galidor parts were usually made of 2 or 3 different molded parts.
I still occasionally see people make really wild shit using Galidor parts, using them is easy but also sometimes requires some fanegling because they're technic connection points made to plug into specialized bodies.
EDIT: there were actually a number of character sets I didn't get I forgot about and have found no listings online of, only photos and one seller listing one that has a "misprint" of no face for well over $100. They ARE out there the distribution was apparently just fucked or something or nobody's selling them online by themselves right now.

There was even a Galidor comic made by DC. It was unfortunately cancelled after one issue, which is a shame because we don't get anything more than the basic premise: https://archive.org/details/galidor-vol.-1-danger-in-the-outer-dimension/mode/2up. Ironically, the cheap McDonald's comic (https://archive.org/details/galidor-mc-donalds-mini-comic/mode/2up) has a better story. The story of Galidor seems to have a really great premise with the potential for lots of interesting lore; I may have to watch the show some time.

I need to check out that game, as for the show, I haven't watched it yet but I did rip it all from YouTube while ruminating on Galidor in a sudden fit of nostalgia.
I am perplexed that it failed as badly as it did. As a kid who liked BIONICLE I also enjoyed Galidor because you could take the toys outside the house without so much fear of losing pieces.
When LEGO moved on to Knights Kingdom action figures I thought it was a step down. They looked worse, could lose pieces like a normal LEGO set, and had none of Galidor's character.
