Hows the Disney Cars license working out for the pioneering brand, by the
way? ;D

Well, it’s like we are comparing DUPLO to oranges. Thomas and Cars were/are
Duplo licenses.
|
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
micro-scale in much the same way that LEGO System is distinct from DUPLO.
For that matter, is it still called “System?” I’ve been out of the loop for a
while.

If you really want to talk about successful licensing, I’ll offer up the
Lucasfilm one for comparison any time..... >:-D
|
LOL! Well, I wasn’t disputing the success of the license, merely the fact
that in at least two cases the “clone” beat the “original” to the punch.
And seeing how sprawling and goofy the Star Wars license has grown over in
recent years, I’m happy to favor the Halo license over the current crop of
Lucas-love.
