[danoyse]

Yeah, which for Lego...is about right. They're always expensive.

 

[London2012]

This has been an amazing journey

I will show you all the merchandise I got in my country(Mexico)

 

[London2012]

I got them from cinemex, cinepolis, gansito

The bag, the toys and the notebook I got them from KFC, I was invited to the premiere in Mexico City and they gave me away them

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

That's an awesome collection you have going on there!

 

[danoyse]

I got this for my birthday this weekend:

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

That's freaking awesome. I didn't know there was a X-Men line of legos

 

[danoyse]

That's their only one so far. Hopefully we'll get some more!

We went to Toys R Us about a week ago looking for DOFP minimates (apparently not out until the fall... ughhhhhhhhh!!) and saw that Lego set, it was tempting, but the price is criminal!

 

[danoyse]

You have to do this at least once when you also have Lord of the Rings Legos...

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!"

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Try getting the 2 Lego sets for GOTG if you want all 5 of the Guardians; I want them but the price is a bit too high. I'm still reconsidering it.

As someone who has bought multiple Star Wars Lego sets at $300 each I can't take your price complaints seriously.

Believe me, I've spent quite a lot on Lego sets, not just for me but also for my kids. For Star Wars sets I have Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing, plus Tatoonie sets like Jabba's Palace, among others. For City sets I have the Police & Fire Dept., as well as Hospital and Space Station. I also have multiple Marvel sets like the Avengers, Iron Man 3, and Spider-Man. I don't own any individual set priced at $300 but I have spent more than an average collector.

 

[X-Maniac]

Nothing like a good book!

But there's nothing in this one, as it's a notebook with blank pages!

Just one item of the promo merchandise given away by newspapers and magazines as competition prizes...

 

[Majik1387]

They really didn't do action figures this time around?

 

[merbass]

They really didn't do action figures this time around?

Only Mystique, which will be released in October !

By the way, does anyone know where I can get Storm KFC toy ?

 

[hoy-small-fry]

KFC probably

 

[momochan]

If anyone is going to Comic-Con, and by some miracle come across some DOFP merch (probably brought in from overseas), I beg you to take a photo and post it here!

thank you in advance.

 

[danoyse]

Hoping to see some stuff at NYCC this year, since it's the weekend before the blu-ray release.

Yea is anyone here actually going to SDCC this year? I know JP went last year?

 

[JP]

And I'm never going back to that awful place again!

Tom Brevoort Semi-Confirms Reduction In Prominence Of X-Men At Marvel
Posted on August 2, 2014 by Rich Johnston

Marvel’s Tom Brevoort continues to answer questions from the good, the bad and the ugly. And there’s one he’s been dancing around for a while.

But now he has come the closest to answering it. When asked,

“Why isn’t there any X-Men cartoons? Why wasn’t there any licensing for DOFP. WHY isn’t there Goldball toys or any new X-Men toys? Oh and of course No real X-News at the Cup o Joe panel. Thanks foe your time”

He replied,

You’re talking about issues involving licensing and animation, and those are questions you’d need to ask to our people that oversee those areas.

I will say two things, though, both of which are pretty self-evident, I think.

1) There are only so many hours in the day, and so many initiatives you can have going at once,. So you need to pick and choose where you want to spend your time and your efforts.

2) If you had two things, and on one you earned 100% of the revenues from the efforts that you put into making it, and the other you earned a much smaller percentage for the same amount of time and effort, you’d be more likely to concentrate more heavily on the first, wouldn’t you?


This refers to Marvel’s deal with Fox, made during the bankruptcy of Marvel when they were taking any deal offered to them. While the Sony deal with Spider-Man has been renegotiated in favour of Marvel since, that has not been possible with Fox, who have the X-Men and Fantastic Four TV and movie rights, and who also claim a percentage of other media rights as well.

Earlier this year, Bleeding Cool covered decisions made at the top of Marvel regarding the prominence of the Fantastic Four within the publisher, citing even posters being pulled down in the offices so that executives who had been dealing with Fox, would not have to look at them. We printed a memo sent out to sketch card artists for a recently published card set, instructed not to draw Fantastic Four characters. We have talked to creators on the FF and X-titles who have been ordered not to create new characters for the books. We talked to Marvel staff who told us that the word had come down from on high to even cancel the Fantastic Four titles. And we have covered the increase in prominence, size and influence in the Marvel Universe of the Inhumans, as a replacement property for the X-Men.

But until now, no Marvel executive has been in any way open about this kind of decision being made, never admitting that this is even an issue. Self evident they may be but they have not been self confessed. Marvel Senior VP Publishing Tom Brevoort has just changed all that.

Surely they (Marvel and FOX) must be able to work out some kind of deal instead of stifling X-men/FF fans? It's a win-win for all parties if they do IMO.
