Lobot8 10 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Some of you may be familiar with Cuusoo, a LEGO site where you can create projects. If your project reaches 10,000 voters/supporters, LEGO will do their best to make it an actual LEGO set. I have no idea if anypony has posted this before, (If so, please ignore this topic) but the LEGO Cuusoo MLP: FiM project was archived. They decided not to even try to negotiate with Hasbro for the license. Just passing on the word! (In case nopony else did.) _____________________________ I am Silverfang of ThunderClan.

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 Yeah, it was in the news feed from EQD. Not surprised because Hasbro has become a competitor to Lego with their Kre-O franchise. Lego must have mentioned "not a strategic fit" or whatever phrase they used like 6 times in the statement. The hope now is that there is MLP Kre-O sets coming.

Killian Jones 2,655 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

letterone 1,204 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 I really hate those LEGO ripoffs, especially Mega Bloks. Now that there are TWO ripoffs of LEGO... jeez. 2 It's ironic how I fall just to get back up again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON PUNCH 244 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 mega bloks only got popular because of the halo sets (got I bought about 20 sets of that stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobot8 10 June 7, 2012 Author Share June 7, 2012 (edited) Just bought two Halo packs yesterday. XD That`s the only good thing about Megabloks. Edited June 7, 2012 by Lobot8 1 _____________________________ I am Silverfang of ThunderClan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah 3,182 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 I wanted to flip a table after hearing this.

Nah 3,182 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 I was mad too. >:0 LEGO is losing my respect. It all started with Bionicle... Yes, then they replace it with hero factory, and don't get many fans. Now they pulled a Hasbro recently with their friends sets, and 90% of people who buy them are teenage/adult guys, so Lego basically has their own Bronies. Ok, back to ponies, this means one thing if the set was official, public relations nightmare. It's kinda like Pepsi making a soda that tastes like coke, and coke gets pissed off and boom! Sues Pepsi for doing this. Or like GM taking a Toyota and rebadging it a Chevrolet, its sad with all these licenses and competition, but you must realize, we need these to have a stable economy and to protect the creations of individuals, its still sad, but that doesn't mean people will continue to make custon Pony sets and continue to sell them. (Take Brickmania, sells custom Lego WWII sets, so pretty soon, a Brony equivalent will maybe start after the CUUSOO demise, but hey, look on the bright side, minecraft sets!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilshy 5,090 June 7, 2012 Share June 7, 2012 I was mad too. >:0 LEGO is losing my respect. It all started with Bionicle... Hey man, Bionicle was awesome! Well, it was for awhile. It went downhill after they moved away from the original 6 Toa. I'd have to say that, for me at least, the Bohrok were the high point of Bionicle. Signature now 99% less edgy!

Lobot8 10 June 7, 2012 Author Share June 7, 2012 I spent a couple of hundred pounds on it over the past 2 years *facehoof* bionical was my first ever building toy like lego ect I`m American, so I don`t know how much pounds are. After they discontinued Bio, I never bought another LEGO set. HOWEVER, there is hope! It won`t be as good as the original Bio, but there is a Cuusoo project that continues it. I`m supporting. 1 _____________________________ I am Silverfang of ThunderClan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's probably the best bet at this point. If Hasbro's been paying any attention to this, then they should know their fans want it, so why not?
