The great thing about Lego is that you can use it to build almost anything. Lego's used that to its advantage over the years, developing sets to tie in with all kinds of franchises, but fan's are wondering if it's latest is a brick too far.last year, Lego's announced a buildable Marvel logo. And it's basically just the logo of the comics brand with a few Avengers minifigures sticking out of it.Lego's changed a lot since I was a kid.
But the introduction of pirates and vikings started stretching things. Where were these supposed to go in a Lego town? And then suddenly we had Lego, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Saw.... OK, I made the last one up. But Lego's been keen to hook up with pretty much any major movie franchise that it deems sufficiently kid-friendly : Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and the Hulk, but they're not enough to add any real interaction to the set.
Another person summed up the situation by comparing it to another recent set, the Batcave from the DC camp. “The LEGO Group sold us a black DC box, so now they’re selling us a red Marvel box." That DC box was at least a Batcave, though, someone points out. Some fans are even deriding the new minifigures too. “No arm prints, only two on here have prints on the legs. That’s really simplistic. Even for LEGO, that’s pitiful”, one person says.
