Thinking about the 3in1 Creator Dragon if it was teal or light bley with reddish orange wings... mmm
I'd even take magenta or dark purple with light aqua wings. Now that's a fucking palette. None of that green/red shit.
I just want a source of creature parts in interesting colors.

>The LEGO Group has accused competing brick-building toy manufacturers of orchestrating a coordinated campaign to undermine its reputation, according to a statement released Friday by the company’s legal team.
>In the announcement, LEGO said it has gathered what it describes as “substantial evidence” indicating that rival companies in the construction toy sector have worked together to spread negative claims about LEGO’s pricing and product quality. The alleged campaign reportedly took place across social media platforms, online forums, and e-commerce marketplaces.
>The company claims that these efforts were designed to portray LEGO products as overpriced and inconsistent in quality—assertions LEGO strongly denies.
>“These claims are not only inaccurate, but appear to be part of a deliberate and organized attempt to mislead consumers,” the company said in its statement. “Our products are subject to strict quality control standards, and we stand firmly behind their safety, durability, and value.”
>While LEGO did not publicly name the companies involved, it characterized them as “competitors within the global brick-building toy industry,” some of which have gained traction in recent years by offering lower-cost alternatives to LEGO sets.
>Industry analysts say the construction toy market has become increasingly competitive, with emerging brands challenging LEGO’s long-standing dominance. However, experts note that direct allegations of coordinated disinformation campaigns between competitors are rare and could signal a significant escalation in industry tensions.
>LEGO’s legal team stated that it is actively investigating the matter and considering potential legal action against those responsible. The company also indicated it may pursue claims related to unfair competition and reputational harm.

>Personally I feel like my issue with modern lore centric themes (Ninjago, Chima, Nexo Knights, Hidden Side, Monkey Kid, Dreamzzz) is that it feels hard to work these kind of sets into scenarios outside of the initial scene depicted in the sets.
I have this same problem with EVERY new set. I look at the new Town leaks in >>11758726 and they use so many specialized pieces that I struggle to figure what can be made out of them except the exact model they made. The spirit of simply messing around and doing whatever you want that's so crucial to Lego suffers from how superficially nice-looking and polished the kits have become.

Agreed. Honestly TLG is just leaving money on the table by not doing sets based of the fairly recent Sonic x DC crossover. Just alter the prints on existing character head molds and make some minor tweeks to other prints. The fans will eat it up.

Why doesn't Lego re-release old sets?
I'm not talking about "nostalgic homages" with 5 times the piece count and 10 times the price. I'm talking about literally just making the same thing they already made and letting people buy more of it. There's a shitload of old sets I'd buy if I didn't have to pay the "rare collectible" tax on them.

I just want simple sets that look like toy building block sets. (The brickbuilt stuff has been pretty good for this actually.) And not AFOL black box shit. I really want no stupid mario and animal crossing rounded square sets but it seems likely unfortunately since they were made for mario. I'd take that over afol black boxes though

>Expectations for 2027 Mario sets?
masonry brick but 2x2. maybe the pattern on opposite sides, maybe all 4 sides (?) 2x2 brick with "?" sticker on the side (maybe printed lol)
if the One Piece Lego guy is "designing" the sets, I expect Mario-wearing-hat in $90 minimum set lol. honestly my expectations are right around where Animal Crossing is. on the very edge of seeming FANTASTIC but only if they had another minifig in every set. so I might get 1 just to have it, but each set will seem like it's too much $$ for what you get (if only they had one more minifig! argh!) so let's see if I can grab it on clearance next year (even though I would kinda have wanted it now)

in each set, the theme would have been perfect.
depending on which characters were the 1-more, I might have gotten them all, instead of 1 set each wave, and a few stragglers on clearance (I did wind up with several of them)
none of my neighbors from my game got minifigs, so that sucks. but there are 500 characters so that's bad odds any way you look at it. even if you lump ANY of my 10 neighbors, that's only 2% chance. out of 100%
did anybody tell Lego about the meme character? it's like free money they just leave on the table. it blows my mind how corporate people shy away from muh-controversy instead of leaning into it. Ankha is a chapter in the game. Lego could make a simple set without any reference at all to why she is popular. free money as people giggle and buy the set

also I hope Lego is just doing a pause on the sets, pending Smart Brick success or flop, because there would be opportunities to do game synthesized sounds in AC sets that would match a whole/ lot better than the Star Wars did, or they could just forget-it and release more regular AC sets.

yeah that was a cheeky poke at the lame One Piece thing, where they carefully designed the inclusion of the main character into only the most expensive sets
A - cheap set: Luffy, not wearing hat
B - kinda-expensive set: Luffy with stretch arms, but wearing the hat
C - Expensive set: normal torso Luffy, wearing the hat
A+B=C
the main character is locked into high price. the joke was that somehow, they would do that with freaking Mario, too, if they could

They have done this to several sets. Redbeard Runner for example had original 1996 release (set 6289) and then in 2001 they re-released it as 6290.

Given the villagers are the very soul of the animal crossing series, it’s a bit baffling they didn’t lean heavily into the villager minifigs. We have 15 sets and only as many unique villagers. It really does boggle the mind. What are the odds any individual person would be excited by even one of these? We really needed like 30-50 villagers in total.
As it stands, you can’t really make a unique town. I don’t even know if there’s a representative of each personality type — is there?

as far as I know there have been no "leaks" about the implied one summer set, except that there would be one. I don't even know if they were talking about the Tom Nook polybag that has been spotted in Target stores already (with the balloon present)
I kinda remember hearing that AC was on pause due to Lego being overwhelmed with stuff to make, and it was not like... "done" and they would pick back up next year
maybe a good break so they can get some new molds for different animals. maybe a non-unicorn horse would be easy, but also maybe birds, hippos, sheep, octopus legs, or any of the others

Someone in the boardroom or decision making team is a clown for not having a cmf line ready to go with it like the amibo cards for the game, or any of the villagers people bully and abuse eachother in honour of, or beg to get from them on their island

Never looked into the disney shit before, came out while I was out of the hobby, and was looking through the minifigs made for a set based on that shitty live action Little Mernaid film and found this rather odd design. The minifigure uses a non printed head with a hair piece that depicts the entire face itself. What would be the benefit of this over the standard method of hair pieces having a window for the actual face print underneath?
>>
>>11759378
This one set would be almost entirely "new" parts now because they don't have half the molds anymore, need to do the prints again, and don't produce light grey, dark grey and brown anymore (easy change, to be fair). With their part box system for themes, this would be the most retardedly wasteful product line you could come up with. And it would still be expensive as fuck.

Depends on if they can print her face to the head. These heads are intended for a certain select of villagers, while also limiting some of their designs. Most of the animal heads have dual molding in certain areas. Some of which are made for certain characters like Lily, Fauna, and Audie. Julian is the only horse villager that's a unicorn, so I don't think they'll do any based off of that head. He's also triple molded for the white and two shades of blue. With the dual molds, Lego will print over or dual mold the same color plastic for other characters.
Thinking of the limitations, I don't expect Ankha to have a unique dual molded head and she would just use the already existing cat head in dark blue. So it would probably make her short bob cut a bit longer now having to reach the bottom of her head. Looking at Sasha, her face print seems to go pretty low to the bottom of her head, so maybe enough for the yellow fur to reach and show off the bob cut at least in the front. The yellow stripes would only be on the back of her head not reaching the sides, because Lego hates side printing. The only 3D part of her is the cobra, which would probably just be printed on. Her tail, like Rosie they only did it in sky blue, so hers would just be yellow. Lastly dual molded arms, and just yellow legs. So with limitations, it's possible.

Hockey... I feel like I'm forgetting one, lol there's gotta be lots of sports that could get popular players in neat little art scenes.
it's a win-win. get the exact minifig of your favorite player, and Lego gets to sell it with a bunch of pieces to jack-up the price.

Was watching this video snd it touched upon a point I never considered with how old sets were designed. Because the system was so much smaller this allowed larger sets to often contain a vast majority of elements used in smaller sets giving the builder not justone big playset, but multiple smaller playsets if desired.

You should be able to still find that for a reasonable price and you definitely should get it because it's one of my favorite sets of any modern castle stuff. It's a shame that we don't get small castle sets like that anymore and they are all locked behind GWPs.

I don't know if this means Lego is going to do less Castle sets or no more Expensive sets, but click and find out!
Lego only "listens" to the dollars. if nobody bought the $500 Castle, Lego assumes we don't want Castle. Lego has to see -ALL $X00 sets- decline in sales, to "listen" that customers no longer want $X00 sets, and THAT ain't happening

I’m not going to get into the myriad ways this claim is pants-on-head-retarded. But you realize this necessarily generalizes to any and all Lego products, right? If $130 set isn’t worthwhile because you can buy a kilo of unprocessed plastic for $1, it follows that a $10 set isn’t worthwhile for the exact same reason.

what a crazy situation.
that guy 100% tried to rob that C-3PO.
but... who drops off a loose bin of parts and walks away? what extreme TRUST that is. that seller kid should have sat down there and watched business-guy-thief look through the figures.
you basically dangled a steak in front of a starving dog and looked away. of course that dog is going to eat the steak! muh-temptation-wuz-too-great. yeah that guy is scum, but it was also cruel to test him in such a devastating way (still, to be clear, more blame on the real criminal there)
I hope that guy felt so much shame he became a better person. that's just me being optimistic

>>11760292
The point is that the raw materials alone still only cost the company 0.8% of the price they are asking. Yes obviously there's mold injection, leasing, maintenance, transportation, licensing, and the myriad of other production costs inbetween but if the raw material alone is that fucking cheap it makes you wonder just how much the other processes actually cost lego. That $130 set could probably be sold for $70 and still net Lego a profit.
>>
>>11760307
My point is just that your objection persists irrespective of a set’s actual cost, so you’re not actually making an argument against the purchase of expensive sets like the Enterprise. From your argument, it necessarily follows that we ought not buy any set whatsoever (since every set is a “bad deal” in light of their dirt cheap raw materials).
>>
>>
>>11760307
>That $130 set could probably be sold for $70 and still net Lego a profit.
this part blows my mind. typically a company sells to the store, which then needs to make profit.
so Lego sells to Walmart for $50, and Walmart sells it for $100.
but then Lego also sells it for $100. and I know that involves their own website/warehouse or store/employees.... but still seems like Lego gets double-profits somehow
>>11760323
that's like the Trading Card Game argument, where you think they are little squares of freaking PAPER yet there is massive amounts of artwork, gameplay, designing, and countless other factors involved besides just the paper & ink
>>
>>
>>11760294
I love robots and mechs of all shapes and sizes, no real affinity for Gundam (though I love Syd Mead’s Turn-A design). I’m afraid Exo Force mechs just don’t have “the juice” or, rather, look like absolute dogshit. And it’s odd because, years earlier with the Life on Mars theme, Lego did in fact design a couple serviceable utilitarian western-style mechs.

Nta but personally I don't think trading cards are expensive but I do feel the reseller market makes them out to be more important than they actually are. Yes, it's just paper and ink compared to Lego. Cards are some shit that could be instantly ruined by holding it wrong or a spilled drink ruining the value. That's crazy. That's why it amazes me that people still buy shit like sports cards as investments with almost zero resale value (unless of course it's a famous player, out of the entire team during that season. In which case what is more important is the historical significance and not actually the baseball card being a baseball card). Like 2 years ago I got into Garbage Pail Kids cards and was excited for the future and during the 40th anniversary they did a tiny run of their anniversary cards. They got immediately scalped. And to make matters worse they were already going for like $80 a box MSRP. That's just way too much for paper and glue and ink, and I'm not going to support that shit so I bowed out and stuck with the Minifigures and comics.
>>
>>11760371
>they did a tiny run of their anniversary cards
Forgot to mention, a tiny run only available on the Topps.com website. What kind of retard thinks celebrating the 40th anniversary in that way was a good idea?? How the fuck do you celebrate new cards without any cards being available to normal people?
To go back on topic, Lego really needs to chill the fuck down. I love Lego Star Wars but feel like the Smart Brick and the $1,000 Death Slice are some of the dumbest shit they've gotten themselves into since the UCS Falcon and ATAT.
>>
>>11760370
>overpriced Lego
But, for you, “overpriced Lego” is redundant, because, like you’ve identified, all of it is made out of dirt cheap plastic and sold at exceptionally high margins. You’re opposed to buying Lego as such, right?

>trading cards are expensive
I was simply using that as an easy example of hidden costs outside of the materials involved.
it takes effort to "make" a Lego set outside of the small amount of plastic. (creative design, engineering, package art, instructions, all kinds of stuff!)
I get the argument. all the invisible costs do not scale. it takes just as much (kinda) effort to create a $20 set vs a $500 set
if you want to go extreme, Warhammer has probably the largest gap between tiny-amount-of-plastic and price. $50 for a single microscopic guy and you even have to clip it off the sprues, glue it, and paint it yourself lol (but there's art sculpting and gameplay efforts there, too)
>>
>>
>>
>>11760387
And without those margins a single failure of something like Smart Brick will kill the company for good. They're sure as hell not going to survive on the 100 people who just want more castles (only "fair" priced castles though).
>>

For selling lego, particularly rare minifigs, do you guys prefer selling via ebay or bricklink? Setting up a store on bricklink for a few minifigs seems annoying but I feel like it would probably attract more people to the listings.

OK, Jesus, that was like pulling teeth. I’m not coming out in favour of or against Lego’s Luxury Brand, I’m just taking issue with your argument which, initially, seemed to be targeted at high cost sets ($130, $400+ sets).

It took me a long time, but I now judge sets solely on their cuteness level. If I see a set and my heart goes: CUTE thats all that matters. Arguing over price, price per piece, display sets or licence shit is kinda cringe desu. It all comes down if you like a set or not.
>>
>>11760624
>Have any been found in the wild yet? They don't come out for another 3 weeks or so
yeah. I had a friend that saw them in a Kohls but there were only 3 left, so he passed on 'em (he typically gets 1 of each and didn't want to remember which numbers to skip when he eventually finds a full box to look through)
the Kohls near me had a bunch of the new sets, those soccer things, the Mandalorian Razor Crest... but no CMFs. I don't know if somebody got them all or if they just didn't put them out yet

you being poor is a complete non factor for lego decision making
lego is charging exorbitant prices because their customers are paying them
the entire point of a business is to have the line go up. Whether what theyre doing is morally correct, or whether their products are objectively "good" or advancing the medium technologically, does not come into consideration in the slightest
>I am shocked some faggot is actively defending a massive corporation price gouging and pushing anti consumer practices.
and I am shocked some broccoli head managed to live this long and not understand the most basic principles of running a business. Nobody is defending anything btw, we are trying to explain to you that you not liking smart brick or fifa sets literally does not matter at all. You dont matter. Morality doesnt matter in running a business and lego is not breaking any consumer laws anywhere.
Are they greedy jewish shitheads? Yes, they are. And they are allowed to be. And people pay for their overpriced shit and lego will keep upping the price ceiling as long as people keep paying

How is the lego fandom so depressing and optimistic at the same time? Every time the needle shifts ever so slightly it's suddenly "WE WON!" or "We are so back, baby!" I mean look at Bioniclefags with a Toa minifig in the upcoming CMF. You would have thought we had won a war.

That's where you're wrong kiddo. Greed isn't a virtue. Lego must be punished for it until they stop being greedy. Every person who defends greed (like you for instance) is evil and deserves to be tortured to death.

all of this is true
but I can add that as long as Lego offers scraps to the poor; polybags, interesting $10-$30 sets, etc they can continue to hook new customers. they accept that loss (profit still, but non-max'd profit)
and Lego shouldn't be considered one-thing at this point. they sell Duplo, flowers, brickheads, Technic, girly Friends, minifig sets from the latest Marvel and Star Wars slop, all kinds of things, and while they will work-together, it's not meant to be sold to the same customer. a little bit of crying is allowed when Lego thinks Harry Potter is just as good as Castle, so we don't get Castle, but when you see Lego did a bunch of Soccer sets, you shouldn't get upset at the "waste" of sets
bottom line is I, personally, "vote" with my own dollars. I do want Star Trek Lego, but can't afford the one they offered. how did the rest of the world vote on that one? it's not up to me to count the votes

Retards in general (but especially in online spaces like this where everything must reduce to insult and disagreement) have a hard time disentangling descriptive and prescriptive claims. So if you say, “Lego will naturally market to wealthy non-discerning yuppies over poor cretinous 4chan whiners,” people think you’re making a moral claim and endorsing Lego’s behaviour instead of just describing it.

Yeah but it just kinda ends up looking like some random snake and not THE snake.
The devourer has a very simple and straight-foward design so when you take away the one thing that makes it unique it just no longer looks like it
But whatever it's clearly not the main build of the set and as long as this design choice doesn't bleed into the show or Legacy I'm good.

Lego is releasing more and more varied sets today than ever before. They’re selling more “high end” sets as a matter of proportion than in decades past, but it’s not as though 18+ black box statues have altogether replaced cheap sets. In terms of absolute numbers, it wouldn’t surprise me if you have more cheap sets to choose from today than 20 years ago. Right now, you can hop onto lego’s website and buy 400 sets for 25-50 Canadian funbucks and about as many for less than $25.

Yeah, people complain (rightly) about the leaker’s legendary spergout, but we also had like two weeks where the anti-leaker kept trying to pre-empt the leaker’s new threads (I guess because he didn’t like a new product being used as the thread image?), or where he’d post a new thread shortly after the shill had posted his, and so we had this retarded duelling generals period as though we were in the Nanboku-cho era with its northern and southern courts.

Easy, ninjago set is an in house set, zelda is a licensed set so lego has to pay nintendo a license fee to use their IP. Lego owns ninjago so all money go to lego pockets meanwhile a part of the money on licensed sets go to the licensor, which is weird why lego focuses so much on licenses. I guess they found putting too much resources in making original stuff is more expensive than paying license tax and inflating prices foe profit.

Every single thread is the same garbage now. Go elsewhere if you want leaks.
“Anti leaks” is a smokescreen to distract from the fact that it’s all spam now. It’s not “discussion” it’s “consumer engagement” and it’s blatant and sad.
I don’t give a shit about “leaks” but leaks are indicative of the spammer.
“Which characters from which show do you wanna see as minifigures” is also a big tell by spamboi.

Here's what I'm currently working on. I've been enjoying the warmer weather and wanted to make a small Paradisa-esque summer moc. It's not finished yet, I think I'll add the suggestion of a concrete boardwalk in the background and use more Paradisa pink and white there.

There appear to be multiple people
“defending” the Frenchman (I know because I’m one of them). And “defending” doesn’t exactly capture it when all these posters do is call the “anti-leak” guy deranged and schizophrenic. I have no strong opinion one way or the other with respect to the “frog,” but the dude who replies to every single image of a newly released or upcoming product with some threat or insult is unhinged and needs to calm down. He is absolutely worse for these threads than the “leaker.” I’ve been accused of being “the frog” and told to kill myself multiple times simply because I said something positive about one of the new sets posted. And I’ve been told to kill myself as well for posting something Negative about these sets, presumably because the anti-leak retard is illiterate and just sees red whenever people are discussing “leaks” (whether it’s criticism or shilling, he can’t parse).

Going to the core issue, just stopping the leak spammer at the core, just rangebanning the spammer’s requests for minifigs/the leaks/other obvious shilling should be a priority for the monojanny here, but we all know what he’s busy cleaning up instead.
>>
>>11761396
And stopping the leaks would almost guaranteed slow down threads enough for us to not have 10+ threads on catalog at a time with 9 of them being dead, and even if that drags us out to being like biog in terms of speed, its better than the current awful state /lg/ is in right now.

I just don’t really see it as a “problem” as such. I genuinely don’t care one way or the other that there are new Lego products posted in the Lego thread. I comment on the sets if I have some positive or negative interest in them, and I don’t comment on the others, and that’s really the only way I regard the “shilling.”

>>11761404
Moreso the way the guy does it, ironically enough due to the site shitting itself hard earlier yesterday we got a way better and less intrusive post >>11760772 as a comp of all the images instead of spamming the thread, something’s that was requested out of the shillspammer for a very long time, but now the only time he does it is due to his spam machine jittering, funny how that works
>>
>>11761404
The fact that you can’t see the problem makes you part of it.
“Leaks” get spammed here constantly now and that’s all there is.
It’s just spamming and the same spammer(s) have ruined most of the generals on the board.
>>11761401

Well you understand, from my perspective, I can’t be “part of the problem” inasmuch as I don’t recognize a real problem exists in the first place.
>>11761404
I do agree when you get, like, a dozen images in a row, it’s a bit of an eyesore. But it doesn’t seem to actually impede conversation (what little of it there is), save that each of those dozen images now has a corresponding “kill yourself pedo” post beneath it, and then those have a corresponding interminable meta-conversation beneath them. But none of that off-topic meta-spam necessarily follows from pictures of new sets.

>>
>>11761444
Let me clarify, my literal-minded friend: you can get 99% of the way to this build with easily accessible, mass-produced, interchangeable bricks. For that last 1%, you can probably find adequate substitutions or use Your Imagination for the 20-year-old stickers and minifigures.
Apart from that, I don’t recall saying you could source all these parts from sets currently on store shelves.

One thing, I used dark red for the corners of the eye, which I think is accurate, but in most lighting, dark red and dark bluish grey give off the same value, so the red ends up getting washed out. I’m wondering if I should just swap the dark red for regular red.

This video went up a few days ago and it put into words why I think the old pallete works so well. He goes into detail about how Walter Gropius' "International Style" blew up across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. Despite being so limited and simple these colors actually lended themselves well to the abstraction of reality over accurately depicting a specific concept that we see in modern Lego. He actually uses your specific set as an example versus the more colorful 2009 pirates line and how the larger color pallete and less abstraction of reality makes those sets look more juniorized.

Just that olive green shit. even modern City sets feel gaudy because they're using more left over colors from Friends sets like teal, neon pink and lime, and the sets look so over designed.

There was a time kid's entertainment was much more messed up. An old cartoon I remember, the Inhumanoids featured a monster that its first act after being born was to eat its siblings. And not gently or off screen either. Oh, and the one of the guys watching was a human scientist whose body literally fell apart as he died in a swamp, just to be resurrected as the gross creature watching.

Lego action figures have always just been hilarious to me because what audience do they even appeal to? Lego collectors want minifigures, Basedlennials want giant dust collector statues, and action figure collectors want something that accurately depicts the source material with good articulation and paint work and fits into the same scale that they collect. Lego action figures don't scale with anything else, look like shit, have minimal printing and probably stickers too, you have to put them together yourself, and they probably cost 3x what a decent action figure would, being more on the cost level of a very high quality import figure. I guess kids are the target audience since they just buy stuff that looks fun? But what kid is going to spend $100 on a buildable action figure over just buying a cool set with a bunch of minifigures or buying several Hasbro action figures?

Looks terrible. Definitely another "who the hell is this even for?" At $100 this isn't something a kid is just going to go in and buy, and it looks awful for an adult to want to buy. People assumed this was going to be along the lines of the recent Iron Man they did, and while that has limited articulation, it at least looks way, WAY better than this.

Is the DC theme cooked, bros? Look, I get that both Marvel and DC fall under the superhero theme and share the same budget, but come on, why can’t DC get some good sets?
This year, for the Batman theme anniversary, we got four Batman sets, three Batmobiles, and a Bat logo. They introduced the whole Epic Moments series for Marvel with some really cool, affordable display sets, so why not do something like that for DC? Maybe a Superman movie set with a base showing Superman fighting the Hammer of Boravia in armor, or one for a Supergirl movie with Lobo on his bike on a base and Supergirl and Krypto flying in to attack him.
In 2027, Marvel Studios is only releasing one feature film, Avengers Secret Wars, in December. That probably means five or six Secret Wars sets will drop around October 2027. But what will the Super Heroes theme release in the meantime? I guess we might get four Doomsday spoiler sets in 2027 and maybe some Spider Man comic stuff, but what else?
I doubt Across the Spider Verse from Sony will get more than one or two sets at most, so that leaves some open slots. Will they do more DC stuff? Will they make sets for Superman: Man of Tomorrow? Will they do The Batman Part II sets? Those are going to be huge movie events, probably bigger than Spider Verse.
The James Gunn led DCU is starting to build momentum, so I think after the success of Superman, LEGO should release a lot more solid DC sets in 2027. They moved quickly after the success of K-Pop Demon Hunters to release something, so why not do the same for DC?
Sorry for the rant, but it’s frustrating how LEGO handles DC, even when we finally start getting good stuff. The new LEGO Batman video-game already got me hyped for the idea of Absolute Batman sets.
Anyone else feel the same?

it's bizarre that when I was growing up, the DC characters always seemed like they were more "for kids" with the Superfriends style and Adam West wholesomeness, and Marvel was connected with grown-up themes with muh-X-man-character drama (Spider-Man being the exception)
but over time and recently in the last several decades DC has grown into this heavy grimdark max-serious flip of itself. even too serious for Lego to consider making sets for. and despite maintaining a slight tone of seriousness, Marvel also grew acceptable for kids, with the consistency of the MCU
Lego still tries to sneak out some DC sets when they can, but I can understand why they hesitate. it's not really for the kids, and the adult stuff is too much. it's amazing they snuck in a fishnets Suicide Squad Harley into a Lego Movie 2 set!
since I mentioned it, it would be fun to see Lego do a retro Superfriends Hall of Justice set. it would be a $X00 nightmare but they could follow it up with a $X00 Legion of Doom swamp helmet lair lol
