Looking for a silver lining to this thing:
An agreement with Nickelodeon grants master construction toy rights to the
entire catalog of Nickelodeon properties, including Nickelodeon, Nick Jr.
and Nickelodeon Movies.
Does this mean we’ll get a You Can’t Do That On
Television theme?

Silver lining?
How about possible new parts, new minifig torsos, and parts in the newer
colors?
Each new set adds new possibilities in building.

I don’t WANT new parts. I’d like existing parts in more colors and larger
quantities. A Jack Stone-scale SpongeBob figure doesn’t open up a lot of
building possibilities for me. Or are the SpongeBob or Airbender figs in
minifig scale? Don’t be afraid to let us all in on the secret!

Don’t know. After all, I’m only an AFOL that does a fanzine:-)
Actually, I really don’t know. While you might want to beleive that there is a
network of spies arrayed out concerning LEGO products, you would be wrong. If
there is one, then I’m not in it.
| |
If by “newer colors”, you mean dark blue, dark red, etc. - wouldn’t they show
up in any new sets? Even new sets that weren’t based on another mindless
license? But maybe you mean totally NEW “newer colors” (flip-flop medium
lime?)? If so, you have more knowledge of TLC’s plans than we do; feel free
to share!
|
Don’t know about that either - that kind of information is too precise. As for
showing up in new sets, maybe, maybe not. Didn’t dark red first show up in a
licensed set? Didn’t UCS show up in a license first? I wouldn’t be so quick to
judge.

Children are curious, creative and imaginative. They embrace discovery and
wonder, they are natural learners. These are precious qualities that should
be nurtured and stimulated throughout life.
Sound familiar? That’s one of TLC’s
fundamental beliefs.
Please explain to us how sets based on yet another license puts that belief
into practice.
|
They use a licensed vehicle to stimulate discovery...let’s make a new home for
Spongebob. Let’s make a spaceship, etc.
| |
“Hey, let’s switch SpongeBob’s and Patrick’s heads!” Creativity... what a
joke.
|
Well, creativity isn’t something that can be turned on and off at will, at least
initially. It takes some exploration and first steps. I see these sets as one of
those steps for the target market.
Creativity is not a joke, it’s something that needs to be grown. My building
skills didn’t happen overnight, and I’m sure that you took some time to get to
the level you are.
| |
Bring on Hasbro (see Lenny’s comment). At least they could turn a profit.
|
If LEGO can bring in more people to the hobby and building through these
licenses, more power to them! That will mean a profit, and more sets and parts
all around!
And TLG did quite well with Star Wars, and that theme got a lot of people back
into building, like me!
