holleman67 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes I can confirm that Lego store employees have no clue what they are talking about. Are you kidding me? They work for Lego, of course they know the plans of the company. We are the ones misguided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Love all the double posts going on. It's like the force or something. I am thinking now r2d2 is retiring, where did that thought come from? :mind trick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking now r2d2 is retiring, where did that thought come from? :mind trick: Since R2-D2 is in episode VII, I don't think he's going anywhere unless Lego are bringing out a special set.

Alpinemaps Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Does not have Disney logo anywhere - major marketing problem Do Marvel sets have a Disney logo? Serious question, I don't know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Lol, what's up with the double posts. This brings up a good point though, if Disney requires their logo on the Star Wars boxes, does that mean they will retire them sooner? Or would have that already happened already since Disney now owns the rights to Star Wars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Disney owns marvel as well? Mind blown... . Skip your next lego purchase and get some Disney DIS stock in a cheap online broker.

johnwray Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Disney owns marvel as well? Mind blown... . Over the last decade or so, they've been buying up some of the biggest franchises in the universe: Marvel Comics, Star Wars, The Muppets, etc. For a while I even thought they might buy Lego just so they could directly market everything instead of licensing.

It`s really not a great investment IMHO, and really not that great of a set to begin with either. It`ll more than likely just stagnate in terms of gains. Best leave it be.
