Building Block Wishlist

[Toph]

Lego, Megablok, Kreo, and Character Builder... there are too many companies that hold major lisences now, that I don't know where to put such a thread.

Lego has given us Star Wars, Indianna Jones, DC Heroes, Marvel Heroes, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbian, Cars, Toy Story, Lord of the Rings
(Bombined with the awesome stuff they own, Monster Hunters, Dino Island, ect)

MegaBlok has Halo and Power Rangers

Kreo has TF and Battleship, and will have Star Trek (ZOMGZOMGZOMGZOMG)

CB has Doctor Who, and supossedly Scooby Doo.

So... with all these wonderful things happening, what lisences do you wish these companies would exploit?

Lego-
Stargate: I mean... this is absolutely perfect. So many bases, vehicles, and characters it's perfect! Plus, flat out adult collector aimed models (Go'a'uld motherships, Atlantis, X303s) Too bad Stargate isn't relevent anymore. Plus the videogame.

TMNT: This is the perfect venue for TMNT. They're so well known for huge and silly vehicles, and playsets there's nothing they couldn't do. Plus create a stronger emphasis on the minifigures, and the mutation aspect of the franchise... create carious removable animal parts (Differerent animal heads, shells, tails, all kinds of various elements) that allows you to customize the minifigures... have April O'Neil mutate into a lizard woman, have Shredder mutate into a wolfman.
And KRANG! How much fun would a lego head-sized Krang be???
Plus, the game! This translates so well into the Lego games!

Voltron: If Lego can pull off the Voltron combined form as well as Megablok pulled off the Megazord, this is perfect.

DC Universe Superheroes: Green Lantern: 'nuff said.

Marvel Universe Superheroes: X-Men: 'nuff said.

Jurassic Park: lego already has a dinosaur line, so I guess this is moot. But it's been on my wishlist for years.

Likewise, Star Trek has long been on my lego wishlist until Kreo snagged it.

Something that would be cool, is for Lego to acknowelegde the adult collector base a bit more, and persue some lisences to market strictly to them, in terms of minifigure blindpacks and maybe small $10-$20 sets. Like Big Bang Theory. I could see a small line of BBT legos doing really well sold through Lego stores, comic shops, and online venues

Kreo-
Phineas & Ferb: Again, another absolutely perefect franchise for a building block format. I chose Kreo because I feel that Hasbro may respect the P&F style more, and attempt to make the minifigures look more like the characters in shape. (New heads modeled on the characters, and such).
I surprise myself at how badly I want this to happen.

MLP: Friendship is Magic: Like TMNT, a stronger focus on the minifigures, with swapable/replacable hair, tails, wings, and horns. Plus all of Ponyville to build.

So, any wants from anyone else?

I'd aim into video games, I think. Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill... All as adorable little minifigs, plus huge playsets to build around them? I would not be able to resist. And comedy versions of these games? It's pure win, I tell you.

Somewhat more realistically, I do feel there may be a market for F1 in Lego. I believe they've done Ferrari already, but kits to build Lego McLarens and Williamses should be fun. And you could build your own circuit, with Grandstands and Pit Crews... Transporter Tucks, Press Boxes, Team Garages, Marshalls Posts(with cranes and an assortment of flags)... The road plates already exist, so stick a bt of coloured kerbing on them and you're well away.

And a sudden thought strikes me: Lego Ghostbusters. Who wouldn't buy that?

[Toph]

OOO YEAH! Lego Ghostbusters! Can't believe I overlooked that!
And whle I'm not a big gamer, I could get behind one of these companies taking on Final Fantasy, as long as FFIX, X, and X2 are included.

And only semi on topic, I absolutely adore the Traveler's Tales Lego games. They're my top favorite games (I love them so much that I'd probably buy Lego Spongebob, if they made a game of it. And I dispise Spongebob). But I do wish they would take on some of the lego owned properties, like the UFO, Monster Hunters, and Dinosaur lines.

There already is one LEGO X-Men set! Hopefully more will follow. As well as a big Green Lantern figure, er, thing.

I personally wouldn't want LEGO to go after the collector market as such, as their core appeal is as a children's toy.

some of thre architecture and online exclusives are more collector orientated..... but to Lego collectors more than those of a brand.

Megabloks did a TMNT set I've only come across a few bits but by Mega standards its not bad, the blocks are the usual low quality rubbish but the turtles are pretty similar to how I imagine Lego would have done them. Except I think the 4 turtles would have used standard lego heads rather than new moulds.

Give me a Firefly Serenity set. Yes I want a lego prostitute dammit.

It seems the great Shaun of the Dead idea was shot down because the source was age inappropriate - arrrgh!! I guess that mean a Game of Thrones set is out too.

Mysterious Cities of Gold and other 80s cartoons. Some Miyazaki stuff. Lego Totoro.

Yeah, but I mean a full on series. The way that we had Lego Batman before there was a broad focus on DC and Marvel.
As such, I would love to see a full on X-Men and GL line, as opposed to the occational small set. Also, I don't really count that "action figure" or whatever that GL thing is they made.

I don't want a full shift into the collector market, no. I just mean exactly as I said, just something small, the occasional thing that wouldn't have a market at Walmart or Argos. Sets that wouldn't appeal to kids, like Big Bang Theory or Shaun of the Dead could be sold through collector's outlets, and such produced in much smaller qualtities. The way I see it, it wouldn't effect the primary lego market at all.
But, to each his own.

Also, I forgot when I started this. I would love to see Battle Beasts Kreos. I think those would be a perfect way for Hasbro to bring back the brand in a kid friendly way.

The Lego TMNT wish came true. Two months to go...
