How come Lego only makes sets based on licenses? What happened to all the OC stuff?

This goes for preety mich every toy company. Where are all the original toys and designs? Things like Bakugan, Gormiti or NERF. Nowadays the only original character figures are japanese, therefore super expensive and anime adjacent. Even toys have fallen prey to the mass enshittification of everything. What is going on?

My kid got into Lego, specifically interested in gears. Anyone have recommendations for a starter kit or something? I think he's over his head. I sure am. What's your opinion on atlbrick? Recs for other off-brand things?

Big fan of the boss fight studios sam and max and popeye lines, was wondering if there were any other lines with similarly styled, cartoony figures?

i'm a complete beginner to woodwork and more advanced model railway stuff. How do people do model railway bases? I hope to one day set up a large model railway in my attic but dont know what the standard methods are of building benches/shelves for the tracks. my plans for the layout dont involve much scenery, rather just long stretches of track with maybe a foot either side for scenery.

Women, what toys do you collect?

Does anyone have the threezero Konoke Link MDLX Dango? Is it an OC or an existing character? I saw a youtube review and it seemed pretty feature packed for a 3.5” thing. 49 points of articulation.

A thread about toys!
Hi all, this time around, let's do a Femme Fatale theme, post your female toys group or single shots in action or otherwise, and have some fun with it!

Balance poses welcome.

Memorable mentions:

There was a lot of good shots, also thanks for the suggestions on instruments.

Blokes Miku poster, really felt the vibe.

Punk rock spidey poster, that might of been my favorite shot, he really looked like he was playing the guitar.

Britherl Diorama? Good overall

Also good to see you posting your toys, Guts annon, megaman etc.

Greninja shot, that was great!

Let's keep it up!
