I saw in the Globe and Mail that Mega Bloks “has Spider-Man on its side since the Montreal company struck an exclusive deal last fall with Marvel Enterprises to develop products featuring Marvel’s super heroes, which also include X-Men, Hulk and Captain America.” (Bold emphasis was mine.)

But I still see a large number of Spiderman sets at Lego Shop at Home...

Anyone know what the deal is with that? Will there be no more Lego Spiderman? Any listings in the 2005 catalogues?

Megablocks have the comic rights. Lego have the film rights. Lego can only produce sets relevant to the films, megablocks can't reference the films only the comics. You might find that the Lego deal is with Sony(?) and the Megablocks one, directly (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
