*2026 Edition*
So, a new year means new releases. Toy Fair is coming and promises reveals, and we also have reveals confirmed for March 19.
Hopes? Maybe this year we’ll get more themes besides Hot Wheels... Are you enjoying the current MBS offerings? Discuss.

it's frustrating that Mega Bloks increased their prices. the logic is that increased prices create the illusion of value, it's just as valuable as Lego, because it has the same prices now.
the only way Mattel topples the giant is by REAL value. they already stole the brick designs, and now they are learning to "steal" the building techniques/philosophies of Lego designers: Lego's "real" strength is the sturdiness of the models
Mattel needs to run a long-term strategy. slowly chip away at Lego's seemingly invulnerability. by getting sets into the houses with vastly cheaper prices (we all know it's still profitable, just not as much) Lego is drifting away from THE MINIFIGURE and Mattel can copy giant statues exactly
imagine if this Ash/Pikachu sold for $50. it would CRUSH Lego! after several years of getting sets into houses, then the visualization would start to blend.
"hey cool Lego set!"
"That's actually a Mega Bloks set!"
"for real!? looks better than the Lego!"
(shared laughter)
thanks for listening to my blog post. I wish Mattel Brick Shop was cheaper. is it up to Brick Craft now?

>lego drifting away from minifigure
I see it the other way around, the minifigure is the only thing. Lego actually owns and other brands can't replicate. Lots of buildable figures or statues have minifigs now.

I picked up the NSX today finally had found it in store. Only other one i've bought and built was the Audi Avant, awesome kit, I love the custom parts that set it apart from Lego keeping everything as brick-built as possible. The whole point of a car is aesthetics, it should look good and not sacrifice visuals for some dumbass fetish to have everything made out of square and rectangle bricks.

If MEGA went back to actually not doing licenses in a half-assed way (X-files - no Scully) and had smaller *inexpensive* builds like the old COD sets (before the prices rose and the number of figures diminished) they would be market contenders.
Matty is just paying LEGO Danegeld by licensing products to them.
Look at the Pokemon builds and compare prices.
This Hot Wheels shit is fine as a side-line for the Desk-Daddies but put out Metal Gear sets (and Heroes packs - single or otherwise) as a suggestion.

I thought it was pretty obvious so that pivot was designed to reign in and crash the MEGA design/ sales wing. I mean sure some people love their "replica" xboxes.. but where's the fun or play value?
I mean if they sold the Griffon in their Witcher "Masterbuild" set separately at a price comparable to their slime-egg Dragons and critters they could have cranked out a series of Witcher / folklore based critters and a Hero's pack of the main characters.
Customizable adventurers would probably be a lot more interesting to the people using minifigs to play D&D and other games as well.
(Doesn't HASBRO own Wizards of the Coast?)
These "bad decisions" had to have been made on purpose.

An Anon leaked some stuff last year (or maybe it was two years ago) that Lego would get both Barbie and MoTU.

Mattel has now dropped the Mega brand from their linkedin
>>

>>11689969
Lego got the KDH license
They showed MBS sets at Nuremberg behind closed doors
Also there will be a reveal on february 12 for mbs and nytf will bring in the new sets. MotU seems very likely from what I've learned to have sets...
I do think if Mattel secured KDH license for MBS they would have a hit but Lego got it.

cars are the only thing that consistently sell the numbers don't lie, cope and sneed you delusional fuck
>>11691376
Lego can sell anything because it's the brick brand and everything else is considered a knock off it's like none of you pay attention to what people said about mega shit

>>11689016
They sold / leased all their actual good licenses with LEGO. that way LEGO won't feel the "competition" and Matty makes MORE money without making shit.

he man failed, and it's getting a new movie. what's the excuse?
>OH NONONO THAT DOESNT COUNT TMNT FAILED TOO MATTY JUST FUCKS UP
Lego had the TMNT license too and it clearly didn't sell either , faggot
>OH BUT WHOLESOME KINO CALL OF DUTY AND HALO

According to toyhabits we are getting some MotU display sets like Mgea Battle Cat and Power Sword (not those but display stuff) and more playsets, one of them mentioned was a fright fighter set and a smaller scale Grayskull playset.

I found this while browsing on Amazon recently. Interesting how they used pieces from the juggernaut instead of just reusing all of the astronaut pieces.

I would love to see what ever dodgy company that was making / "borrowing" MEGA parts doing more fire fighter sets.
>>11694941
well if you mean new ones are unavailable yes. like many other toys like Major Matt Mason or clackers. But people still play with them so... not really.
