*Makuta and The Shadow Realm: So the Toa stopped him from returning to reality, but he still exists in the Shadow Realm I presume. *Toa Origins, the end of JtO made it clear what the destiny of the Toa was, but where did they come from? Are we supposed to believe the Toa are just star-comet spirit things that only take on a corporeal form only when Okoto calls them? Gali said in the end of JtO 'We are the elements,' so are the Toa an embodiment of the elements? With this it basically makes me wonder if the Toa are some sort of God's in the G2 world. As far as we know in the G2 story, the bottom half is still very much missing. *MASK OF TIME: No really, a very blatant G1 reference that is used as a McGuffin a few times in the story but never really explained or elaborated on.

But yeah man, I sure hate constraction :) Also it's not that hard to check and see that I post constraction MOCs on deviantart and various other sites, and I very much enjoy making new builds using the CCBS, the OG Bionicle system, or mixing both. If the previous constraction sets sold like hotcakes, why would that even happen? It's true that LEGO still makes these, but have you noticed that there's less sets each wave? Ever thought that this might have to do something with the sales?Īlso if you never heard me saying anything positive about constraction, then you're clearly new on this forum. Even you yourself stated that you're 100% certain that these 2 sets will only see release in the EU. However, the mere fact there is a (granted, not confirmed) statement about these sets being cancelled/not realesed in the US, along with the official NYTF PR statement is the evidence. You're even more delusional than I thought, but that's okay, you can believe what you want. I've legitimately never heard you say anything positive about constraction. All that we know is that TLG is still making them. There's no evidence to support the idea that they don't sell well. The only thing I have to admit I was wrong about is the bit about less sets being released in each wave - I was pretty sure that Lego was still releasing these figures in the standard 2-wave formula, not this weird 3-wave one, and the only brickset list I managed to find didn't list all of the CCBS Star Wars sets so, my bad here).īut, I'm glad Sir von Lego actually cleared things up and proved that you were wrong all along, despite you acting so confident about stuff you had no possible way of being 100% sure about.Īnd to think that this guy still posts in this forum. I was actually thorn whether or not I should reply to this post, seeing your other posts on the SW sub-forum, how you were so stubborn that nothing I'd write would really change your mind, and how you edited the post I was replying to in order for it to better support your latter reply (for the record, you actually did say you were certain that these two sets are not cancelled, just because I worded it differently and didn't quote you 1:1 doesn't make my reply less legitimate and I was not, in fact, 'desperate to find stuff that will support my point here' I also find it funny how you deleted that bit in the latter edit. This is going to be a mega-post, if that's alright. Just throwing in my 2 cents, the sets shelfwarm pretty hard in my country too (the toy store I go to in one of the biggest shopping malls in the city I live in still has Jyn Ersos on the shelves, and lots of kids roll through that place (I visit it quite often), not to mention how terribly these sets were selling in my hometown, but, granted, it was a much smaller place), so I don't think it's a UK-specific occurance.Īt this point, I knew that I should stop reading, but I kept doing so against my better judgement. Regardless, this does mean that the shelf warming of sets in the UK may not be as representative of the sales of the sets in other locations.

It's almost as if raising the prices had a negative effect on sales or something. In September 2017 they stated ' In the US and Europe, our sales have declined.' and that revenue had fallen by 5%. In January 2017 they rose UK prices by 5% So of-course sets that are most notably experiencing the price hikes coupled with licensing costs are going to shelf-warm more and sell less, this coupled with a majority not being based on developed characters, but being reliant on the popularity or pieces to sell the sets - the success of licensed sets is normally relative to the license. I do get the vibe that a lot of the Star Wars sets have reached extortionate prices in places like the UK - for some reason Lego saw Brexit and thought they needed to charge more - so in an economy currently concerned with saving money, Lego had the bright idea of charging more to people who could afford less.
