Chuck Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I can confirm that LEGO is working on some .... more traditonal LEGO properties that many fans will be very excited to see. That's honestly all I can say right now on that. So on long terms TLC will really be going back to their roots? After all those official contrary statements (No licenses, More licenses, Back to the brick, Lets do manga,....... :glare: ) I really would like to get some realistic statement on their course. It's simple: Since TLC's prime target is children, they are looking at what children like. In my point of view, It is a good thing, the more people buy, the more money TLC gets, giving them the ability to not do licences and succeed even more than with licenses. It's supply and demand. Then again, I may be wrong also. What do I know about the business world? I'm only 12. That's just my opinon. -l2k- Quote
KMOI Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Speaking of which, the minifig faces are *dead* on. I mean in terms of accuracy, you can't get much closer to the TV show. However, I'm still lamenting the fact that they're not using samurai armour. I was really looking forward to it but we get repainted knights armour instead. Not a total loss for others, but it is for me. :mellow: Quote

After all those official contrary statements (No licenses, More licenses, Back to the brick, Lets do manga,....... :glare: ) I really would like to get some realistic statement on their course. I think that's a fair question. My take (and this is purely my take, based on what I saw and heard while in Enfield) is that LEGO is trying to do both. Balancing licenses (Batman, Spongebob, SW and Avatar) with in-house properties, such as KK, Vikings, Dinos, Exoforce, etc, to appeal to everyone. You're going to continue to see licensed properties. They're a fact of life - they sell well. Classic LEGO - cities, space, castle, etc, are still alive - both in the in-house stuff, like KK and Vikings, but also in the licensed stuff. Many people have noted that the Avatar ship could be a generic ship. Harry Potter stuff *could* fit in with castle builders. SW fits space. Batman (I think) will eventually put out sets that will appeal to city folk. Does that make sense? Does it answer your question? Quote
DoubleT Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I delted the post of an badname member... just before Kikuichimonji post :) So you know it... Quote
KMOI Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks for clearing things up, TT. For a second there, I thought I was the target and was subsequently going to *explode* on some poor soul. Good thing I kept my steady state of mind! :) Quote
General Veers Posted May 17, 2006 Posted May 17, 2006 I like the Fire Nation stuff. the catapults are really >:-( annoying! I like the ship also. I could really improve it though! Quote
