All the sets you are speaking of are not aiming at normal kids market. you have to think in term of profitability and not what hasn't been done yet that you'd like to see. IE : a council romm of thge first deathstar with all the moff is an important scene in EP IV but would it sell well ? no
Well I hope so. I think the fact that they release a sandcrawler is a good indication the line will end. Plus they've made already almost all the characters. Maybe only one or two sets are "missing".
According to their original decision, they will stop ALL the movie licences. But they always change their minds so who knows. What could be dangerous in the case of star was is that if they give up the star wars licence and that megblock buys it ; it could become a serious problem :^^D
It's sunday so it's hard to get a confirmation for anything on sunday :/ I agree that star wars brought me back to lego but I also think that I can now live without it. It was just about rediscovering the pleasure of puting bricks together, creating things. Now most of the sets I buy are non star wars related. If they drop the star wars licence I think we will mostly lost the collectors which in my opinion won't be such a big loss.
Now maybe lego will renew the SW licence...
I just wanted to know if anybody had an idea about when it will comes out. We are in march now and no news from it so far :/ I just can't wait until can put my eyes on those figures
Well if lego had to renue the licence after spiderman 2, they wouldn't have. They said they were done with movies licences and won't renew those :/ By the way I doubt any megablock spiderman figure could ever be as nice as the one lego has done :)
I love those admins-only topic where nobody else can reply :P Well I saw some megablock on display at my ToyRus and I'll never buy those : the pieces were not fitting well together.
But as apo said, on the other hand they are cheap. Maybe lego could consider Megablock as an opportunity : people start o buy megablock to their kids because they are cheap and then move on to lego because the quality is much better *satis*
no bricklink is not cheaper than TLC, no doubt about it, at least if you buy entire sets. And for rare minifigs and rares pieces, its much more expensive than TLC
