>>10985439Granted it is only a theory, but it's based on the following:
>neither set with German figs is on the Mega CoD siteWhile there are a few other CoD sets also missing from the site (notably the very last ones to be made, the P-47 (which seems to have had a very limited release) and WWII Beach Invasion (partial re-release of Landing Craft Invasion, with minor changes to the landing craft and without the bunker or enemy soldier)), it is interesting that the other two Legends figure packs released alongside the "Enemy Soldiers" one are on the site. I reached out to Mega and Mattel about this absence and got a bland non-reply, big surprise. Yes, the Checkpoint Charge features an "Axis Soldier" but is generic enough to slide under the radar.
>cancelled Panzer setI was so hyped when word leaked out that Mega was going to release a Panzer set; but time went by and nothing came of it. Another anon got word from someone at Mega that apparently this set was shopped around the various retailers and all declined to order it, no reasons given (that I recall anyway).
>timingThe German sets came out in 2018; by 2021 Mega CoD was effectively dead. Toy companies are typically planning ahead by a couple years (i.e. Mega likely first started working on their initial Halo Wars line sometime in 2007; the game and toyline dropped in 2009). Given that the number of new CoD sets started declining significantly each year after 2018 (with a number of known cancellations like the aforementioned Panzer and the infamous The Last of Us set) is it much of a stretch to infer at least some connection?
tl;dr there is evidence Mega has suppressed some of its own sets for reasons unknown. And no you may not see my string board.
