>>7260755See, I both heavily agree and disagree with the second part of what you said. I'm 110% with you on Lego getting lamer with each license it takes. Reason being, I'm tired of licenses, I miss the creative and obscure themes, Space Police, Agents, Rock Raiders, Pirates, Monster Hunters, Galaxy Squad, Ultra Agents, fantasy era Knights. Now it's Star Wars permanently for space, capeshit and Overwatch in place of agent/adventure themes, fantasy has been kill and with Harry Potter they wouldn't bring it back to compete. What's left, Ninjago and City in terms of original properties?
I feel like as a culture we've gotten less creative and more consumerist, if we haven't seen it on a screen we don't know what it is and don't want it. As much as I love Mega, I feel like it'd be amazing if we could get a revitalization of Dragons, their Pyrates line, maybe a UNIQUE agent or super hero theme, their own space theme. But it would never stand a chance with how things are today, it's depressing as fuck but it's how it is. I just wish license stuff was kept to a minimum and creativity and unique themes were encouraged. But most kids and adult collectors today only want their 75th Deadpool and Batman and something from the flavor of the month game.
