I hope they make more GI Joe sets...

Is that a black guy or an Indian?

>>11555450
Really? That's more important than the fact Mattel killed Mega?

>>11555427 (OP)
Mega will make MotU movie sets in 2026?

Are mattel brick shop sets good quality? Interested in getring them since pppr is great

>>11555451
Mattel saved mega from bankrupty but it clearly wasn't a good investment. Mega cucks lost.

>>11555991
According to Jang quality is good

>>11555427 (OP)
I can't wait!

>>11555450
Looks like a very heavily mutted black.

We are so fucking back holy shit.
Now all these cowards need to do is bring Dragons back.

What a steal

>>11556721
Thanks, just bought it :)

>>11556709
The image is fake, but this really is going to happen. They're just not ready to announce it. Stay Positive!

>>11556743
Please don't lie...also we need more Fallout sets! Heck, do the Boys!

>>11556256
BRO...

>>11556743

Two more weeks.. it's happening.
I have an uncle who works at the espionage division at HASBRO. - he said Matty would.

>>11556849
I've been saying this for year. The Boys, Dragonball Z, and Invincible are all GOLDEN opportunities! Hell throw in Warhammer and Helldivers, and MEGA might stand a chance!

>>11556256
>GTA6
Maybe it will sell
>Gears of Wars
Who cares?
>Resident Evil
Lol
>Halo
Lmao
>MotU
Boomers care, doubt the movie will bring new kids
>GIJoe
Boomer shit

>>11556853
>The Boys
Should do them before season 5 releases for hype or else it will be like Game of Thrones sets after season 8...
>Invincible
They should do it, they need some capeshit sets and Lego has Marvel and DC
>Dragon Ball Z
Rumours say Lego got the license but there are enough anime they could do that Lego will never do like One Punch Man, Naruto (if Lego don't), Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia (would be kino), etc.

>>11556853
>warhammer
That's never gonna happen because they would compete with minis size wise and Games Workshop won't allow it.

>>11556256
So is Mattel BrickShop rebranding of Mega? No more Mega name?

Also, they should do Elden Ring sets when the movie comes out

>>11556859
Their hesitancy to license Boys and Invincible could be really costly. Both shows are riding high now and it's best that they strike while they're red hot. One Punch Man could be just as big a get too if they played their cards right. Demon Slayer and Naruto could work too, but MHA really seems to have faded out of the public consciousness.They need a new cash cow, and the most they can muster are a few lower end B-list properties. GTA could be big if they pursue sets based off the previous installments, but that's a big if.

>>11556861
Somebody noted as much in the BLDR thread but I choose to think otherwise. Miniatures and construction sets are two totally distinct niches

Robocop MEGA when?

Is it mega or mattel brick shop now? I don't get it

>>11555451
Putting a black man in the advertisement was more important than selling the toy

>>11556932
Why

>>11556256
They should do Alien sets and Alien Earth since both Alien and Predator are back strong right now compared to when Mega did those "sets"

>>11556914
They changed the name again. A rebranding. A rebooting. A re-birthing. Only now they have a bigger budget, so expect new big IPs like GTA VI.

Mega lost Trek to Lego. Another IP goes to the Danish...

>>11556721
I could have sworn I bought the GOT dragon at target clearance for about the same price, but it feels like a fever dream. I have no clue where it is in my storage.

>>11557034
Did you even build it man or kept it in box??

>>11557031
It's a better fit. Lego is what nerds are into.

>>11557028
And they will fuck it up again. Overcharging, reducing figures in sets.. licensing to LEGO instead.
As long as I am playing with the figures there is no such thing as a "dead" toy.
But Matty did MEGA dirty and unless they undergo a revolution in ideas we won't see smaller fun sets with a couple of figures at a realistic price.
And fuck their "Masterbuilds"

>>11557170
I like the brickshop hot wheels sets, they have great value price wise

>>11557170
>Matty did MEGA dirty
Mega was going bankrupt before the buyout holy shit stop crying when they did try. You stupid fucks keep crying about mismanagement when mega brands was always mismanaged. Like was it really a good idea to focus on video game licenses in the long term? Halo was unique but it's forgotten unlike star wars which still maintains global relevance and international distribution.

>>11557183
Star Wars is a flop

>>11557190
lasted longer and still has toys on shelves unlike mega flops

I wish I could had gotten some Destiny Titans but they never made it to my country.

>>11557209
Toy stores in my city have SW toys on shelves because they couldn't sell them back when the movies came out.

>>11557217
and where are the halo toys, Fortnite toys, call of duty toys?

>>11557222
All sold out?

>>11557222
>Halo toys
We didn't really get much. MB Halo in toy stores and McFarlane toys in collector shops. MB Halo stuff would disappear in days every time.

>Fortnite toys
Nowadays you can only find Nerf Fortnite and Jazwares 4 inch Bandoliers. I have a few toys myself even though I've never played the game.

>Call of Duty
The only CoD toys I've ever seen were MB. They sold much, much slower than Halo but they still sold well. With the exception of two major shelfwarmers. The Nuketown set and the Wraith Attack set. I wanted the minifigs from the Wraith Attack set but there was no way I was going to pay like 40€ for them.

>>11557247
didn't mega bloks end up in Ollie's all the time because no one bought them?

>>11557031
Yeah that’s not going to sell well. No body is pay $120+ for trek shit

>>11557031
Trek sucks anyway

>>11557730
Nu-Trek is gay, real Trek needs a comeback.

>>11557539
$400

>>11557746
This.

Boldly going... where no man was meant to go.

>>11556949
That's how DEI works.

>>11555430
Just don't make them ugly.

>>11557746
Kirk and Sulu are the only two who are still alive. OG Trek is done, bro.

>>11558063
Best Trek still waiting for its sets.

>>11558021
I need to steal your Zombie trek idea.

>>11557304
Kreo. It was the Kreo Star Trek and Gi Joe sets.

>>11558324
Silly, you can't steal a gift freely given... unless you are a Basketball American.

>>11558416
Do I see googly?

>>11557037
I put it on my backlog pile along with 90% of my MEGA sets i pick up at clearance. I'll get to it one day if I did buy it. I know I have a bunch of destiny sets in boxes sitting untouched for years now. I know for certain I have that big cabal ship with Cayde because i got it at Burlingtons during xmas pre covid.

>>11558646
So jealous. I looked in Burlington just after New Year's 2020 and didn't see it.

>>11558188

When should we have news on upcoming brick shop sets or themes? Are we getting more stuff or it's over?

Is >>11556256 legit?

>>11559968
>Is >>11556256 (You) legit?
Some of these will be announced at the 2026 Toy Fair in February.

So I found the Black Pearl massive 5 in 1 box for like $250 including shipping. I'm so fucking tempted to just go "fuck it" and pull the plug on this bad boy, particularly with Lego's shit version of the Pearl.

>>11560564
Based

>>11560564 are you sure it isn't *just* the box? that net weight sticker on it makes me think its only a box.

>>11560976
Description says it is the entire set sealed but yeah it's odd, maybe an error. Still, there's so few options around to snatch these old mega potc sets

>>11559968
I doubt it. Earlier this year a leaker that said the Pokemon rumors were true also
said Lego would be making Barbie and MoTU sets.

Obligatory Chinese knock-off posting

Here comes the post from the rat, he’s so predictable. Like he’s reading off a script document.

>>11561748
What?

>>11561773
Ignore him. The voices are speaking to him.

>>11558021
They look like they're dancing together.

>>11561964
Ok

>>11561964
This

Are we gonna get brickshop set lists leaks or there are no leakers for this brand?

>>11564785
No one cares. It's over. Sell off your collection and your Mattel stock.

>>11565024
Why do people sell their collections when a line ends?

>>11565115
Autism

>>11565024
Nooooo

>>11565115
I dunno. It's like some sort of Japanese 80's "throw it all away and get new things" flashback.

Somehow these folks have no focus on what they have and only "what's coming out next"

>>11564785
Soon

Are mattel brick shop sets good?

>>11565920
yes

>>11565121
>>11565674
I feel sorry for people who do. A lot of the toys, especially from childhood, have a memory attached to them. New Megas invoke that feeling to because they resemble something I saw in an old YouTube video or are the thing I saw and now have the chance to get. Does anyone else feel the same or am I mentally ill?

>>11556256
Source?

>>11566245
Quite a heavy feel when you put it like that. Like when Pixel Dan and Ed Retro talk about those nostalgic 80s toys in a way.

Never mind the source.
