Well, let’s raise the stake, shall we?

okay, I was inspired by Just2Godds video recently to start putting things into the new Ideas IP checker, and see what comes up.

So far I’ve got,

little big planet

lazytown (yes please)

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Elf on the shelf

Planet of the Apes

avatar: the last airbender

REJECTED

little shop of horrors

So, has anyone else played around with this? What IP’s have you found?

Dragon ball could be neat. There are already a million bootleg minifigures.

Drgaon ball is not allowed. Just looked at it.

PUBG :thumbsdown:

Planet of the Apes :thumbsup: (so this is allowed, but not C&C?)

Plants versus Zombies :thumbsdown:

Starcraft :thumbsup:

Starbucks :thumbsup:

Star Trek :thumbsdown: (Why?!)

Stargate: Atlantis :thumbsup:

civilaztion :thumbsup:

Eljay Not in the system

XCOM2 :thumbsdown: (A bit too much to hope for really)

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…

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.

okay? odd.

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.
