*2026 Edition*

So, a new year means new releases. Toy Fair is coming and promises reveals, and we also have reveals confirmed for March 19.

Hopes? Maybe this year we’ll get more themes besides Hot Wheels... Are you enjoying the current MBS offerings? Discuss.

it's frustrating that Mega Bloks increased their prices. the logic is that increased prices create the illusion of value, it's just as valuable as Lego, because it has the same prices now.

the only way Mattel topples the giant is by REAL value. they already stole the brick designs, and now they are learning to "steal" the building techniques/philosophies of Lego designers: Lego's "real" strength is the sturdiness of the models

Mattel needs to run a long-term strategy. slowly chip away at Lego's seemingly invulnerability. by getting sets into the houses with vastly cheaper prices (we all know it's still profitable, just not as much) Lego is drifting away from THE MINIFIGURE and Mattel can copy giant statues exactly

imagine if this Ash/Pikachu sold for $50. it would CRUSH Lego! after several years of getting sets into houses, then the visualization would start to blend.

"hey cool Lego set!"
"That's actually a Mega Bloks set!"
"for real!? looks better than the Lego!"
(shared laughter)

thanks for listening to my blog post. I wish Mattel Brick Shop was cheaper. is it up to Brick Craft now?

Why? Mattel doesn't make Halo toys so why would they post the Halo logo? Brick Shop still can do Halo and not show the logo there since that only features Mattel Brands.

>lego drifting away from minifigure
I see it the other way around, the minifigure is the only thing. Lego actually owns and other brands can't replicate. Lots of buildable figures or statues have minifigs now.

What do you mean what? They cancelled the leaked sets and the last time they released heroes/blindbags was 3 years ago.

Mattel will have the biggest booth in years at NYTF, Mattel Brick Shop is rumoured to be part of the MotU toys they will show there for the movie.

I picked up the NSX today finally had found it in store. Only other one i've bought and built was the Audi Avant, awesome kit, I love the custom parts that set it apart from Lego keeping everything as brick-built as possible. The whole point of a car is aesthetics, it should look good and not sacrifice visuals for some dumbass fetish to have everything made out of square and rectangle bricks.

They BTFO Lego multiples times in the past on their own. It's crazy to think now but the Dragons line at its peak allowed them to surpass Lego in sales.

They need to lean hard into what Lego isn't allowed to do: war/military toys. Boys absolutely love army toys but Lego won't make them because of gay ideological reasons. Easy win right there.

If MEGA went back to actually not doing licenses in a half-assed way (X-files - no Scully) and had smaller *inexpensive* builds like the old COD sets (before the prices rose and the number of figures diminished) they would be market contenders.
Matty is just paying LEGO Danegeld by licensing products to them.
Look at the Pokemon builds and compare prices.
This Hot Wheels shit is fine as a side-line for the Desk-Daddies but put out Metal Gear sets (and Heroes packs - single or otherwise) as a suggestion.

I thought it was pretty obvious so that pivot was designed to reign in and crash the MEGA design/ sales wing. I mean sure some people love their "replica" xboxes.. but where's the fun or play value?
I mean if they sold the Griffon in their Witcher "Masterbuild" set separately at a price comparable to their slime-egg Dragons and critters they could have cranked out a series of Witcher / folklore based critters and a Hero's pack of the main characters.
Customizable adventurers would probably be a lot more interesting to the people using minifigs to play D&D and other games as well.
(Doesn't HASBRO own Wizards of the Coast?)
These "bad decisions" had to have been made on purpose.
