NINTENDO LEGO LICENSE CONFIRMED.

 

Though in all seriousness....it seems quite possible now.

 

Hm.

Some Nintendo licenses would be easier to get than others. In particular, the Mario Kart license is held by K'nex, so that might preclude Lego from doing any Mario sets (as much as I'd like to see a Bowserfig that used the giant troll arms and hands). But it could bode well for things like the Cuusoo Zelda project.

 

It'd be interesting to see how much the Lego video games have helped to raise Lego's profile in Japan. I know it's traditionally not been one of their strongest markets (which I've read is because building toys are seen primarily as toys for early childhood over there). But surely games like Lego Star Wars have served to elevate public perception of the brand.

I still hope that LEGO Zelda thing happens. It's quite clear now that LEGO has at least some relations with Nintendo thanks to LEGO City Undercover being Nintendo-exclusive. All we can do is hope.

 

That piranha plant is amazing.

 

I knooooooow right. It's a completely plausible design too, beyond the spots.

The possibilites - think of them all! Legend of Zelda minifigures...ohmygosh a LEGO Hyrule Castle! o_o And a Princess Peach Castle!

 

Seriously, people, it's time to start a petition to convince LEGO to make a deal with Nintendo for LEGO Nintendo sets. That would get me back into LEGO. :B
