Well, let’s raise the stake, shall we?
At long last, LEGO has finally announced the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set and it contains 2,321 pieces while retailing for $179.99.
Est. reading time: 3 minutes

So far I’ve got,

Time to rip and tear whoever made that decision
It is a bit bloody. (Then again we got LOTR)
Keep in mind, things like Pokemon where the IP is already owned by another company (Mega Construx in its case) can’t be held by Lego.
I didn’t know if the license had run out. and why not.
Little Big Planet please.
Unfortunately, the last I tried, Monty Python and the Holy Grail was out…
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
That does not suprise me. Oddly enough, Dragon prince is not on there.
I believe the only reason is that the “Holy Grail” is labeled as a religious object.
I don’t think so. Just Monty Python is not allowed, and Firefly has been taken off.
I attempted to suggest it, but it was denied for a reason involving religion.
Maybe you could seperate this into two distinct lists instead of just a random series of thumbs up and down?
Maybe. Once I get the chance.
I’m glad you at least have the time to say “maybe”
I’m also on mobile, I don’t like editing or making big posts on mobile.
I gotcha, I only mention it to save you time not entering product names for things already in production by Mega Construx. I guess I said another company earlier but it’s really just MC as the only competitor to Lego. Idk if Kreeo or anything like that still exists.
And generally speaking two companies can’t own production rights of a property when they’re both in the business of making the same product. Doesn’t make business sense. So for Pokemon it wouldn’t make sense for Lego to spend money producing Pokemon merchandise when Mega Construx is already doing it. And it wouldn’t be advantageous to Mega Construx to make Pokemon merchandise if it didn’t have sole rights to doing so, because Lego would do it better if they were able to.
