The ships from Freemaker are pretty cool, too bad they are from something nobody cares about. It's definitely pretty small compared to the previous one (7679). 54 minutes ago, Halfrig said: except Rathtar Escape and Arrowhead (never got into the Rebels series). Except it's not from Rebels I think it's a pretty good looking ship. Doesn't look like Star Wars to me and at 100€ it's way too expensive, but it's not a bad set per se.

We have already been seeing some of that effect taking place. Also, even though it might not be as noticeable to LEGO in the short term - In the long term it absolutely hurts them. Last year I would have said LEGO's hatred towards resellers clouded their judgements. However, now I think their quest for continual financial growth is what clouds their judgements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are just figuring it is best to cash in now (before an inevitable fall in popularity), or maybe - They aren't planning on being around in the future (in which case, higher sales now would equal a higher price paid for the company). I once would have never thought of the family selling as being a possibility - but nowadays, I am not so sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once would have never thought of the family selling as being a possibility - but nowadays, I am not so sure. I feel like that's kind of a corporate cultural mindset. Doing good isn't good enough, quarter after quarter has to show growth. Instead of focusing on the quality that brought people in, they try to diversify and catch fads. If one of these new-ish things hits, they'll be golden. However we're not seeing demand increase, we're seeing the same buyers being more spread out. Instead of buying everything from one line, now, they're making decisions about whether to get a brickhead or a mighty micro or a constraction figure etc. The offerings in the main lines feel smaller and less complex, but they expect people to buy them because of a single minifigure. Prices are rising (looking at you Star Wars Battle packs) THe Star Wars line is full of sets that would have been $5 less just a few years ago. Super Heroes as well. I don't think it's trying to get the last dollar before the market crashes, I think it's misunderstanding the fanbase and their capacity to continue buying when they're trying to squeeze every penny out. Someone thinks that the LEGO train has just gotten started and doesn't see the chasm ahead that they're driving towards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Maybe Disney are looking to beat Fast and Furious in the number of unnecessary sequels competition. Episode 33.33: No Endor in Sight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet one of those is announced at this years Star Wars celebration. The only question I have is will the first trailer for Last Jedi be released, and will a teaser be relased for Han Solo.... ohh and maybe how the heck they plan on doing the toy releases for two movies bunched so close together. I suspect we will see a shift in direction next year from the previous two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
