(...) A) I don't like "corporate speak" where executives use ridiculously long run on sentences to make their "mission statement" sound Biblically important. B) On topic: I'm torn about this announcement. On one hand, I am not a fan of the licensed (...) (14 years ago, 21-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Hey Hendo! Long time no see. I think your points are valid for the main market (kids)... but for us, all sets are parts, and fodder for our own creations. So if this means more parts of certain kinds I'm pleased at the prospect. The problem of (...) (14 years ago, 21-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) What I always saw as a core problem with the Pirates theme is that you basically get small ships, large ships, forts, and the occassional island. That's pretty much it. Ships are ships are ships are ships, and where the Space subthemes had (...) (14 years ago, 22-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Abner you provide a valuable service, please don't stop! I don't think Hendo was complaining about your work in reproducing this stuff, but rather commenting on the original content. Which does, to be sure, have some marketspeak in it. But all (...) (14 years ago, 22-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)

(...) Never work, because we know kids NEVER run trains around curves too fast. Or crash them into things. IIRC, TRAINS magazine had a writeup of this movie (focusing on the "how it was made" details but with some other coverage) and the writer (...)

(...) When I first heard a rumor about this, I was thinking "No, they're got it wrong, Mega Bloc (*hack*) has the license." I'm guessing their license expired or Disney cancelled it? (14 years ago, 22-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

(...) True, but similar comments could be made of any theme. Trains are trains are trains, Castles are castles are castles. Yet for a fan of a theme, a greater number of models of varying price-points is always welcome. The truth is, how a tall ship (...)

(...) Well, it's like we are comparing DUPLO to oranges. Thomas and Cars were/are Duplo licenses. If you really want to talk about successful licensing, I'll offer up the Lucasfilm one for comparison any time..... >:-D FTW, to coin a phrase I (...)

(...) I admit that's a fair distinction, but in that case it must be granted that the Cars and Thomas license were/are maxi-scale Mega Bloks licenses. Although the systems are compatible and both belong to Mega Brands, they're separate from (...) (14 years ago, 26-Nov-10, to lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

Not saying that I expect it to happen, but I realized today that it is something they would be able (...) (14 years ago, 7-Jan-11, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
