Bringing this up here, do you guys think lego has seemingly strict limits on figures for Star Wars and to a much lesser degree, marvel, due to the fact that putting minifigures in massively expensive sets is the only way they get decent money off of the characters?
We know Hasbro is likely losing money off of marvel, Star Wars, Indy etc considering how badly their partner brand sections are doing, so we also know Disney isn’t making anything off of marvel legends and the black series if Hasbro isn’t.
Is Disney the reason Lego can’t do things like a Star Wars minifigure series, or why massive sets only get 4 or 5 figures while in any other series it’d get double that? I mean if Hasbro drops Disney to stop losing so much money (which seems really likely atm given how much their stock has dropped) then minifigures become the dominant way to buy Star Wars characters
