Gonna Have to Make Some Deals
Fun fact: Disney owns most of the properties that have been selling like hot cakes. Star Wars? Disney. Marvel? Also Disney. Disney, however, does not own the studio behind the LEGO games, that would be Warner Bros. You Know? A rival company. Now some of you may be thinking “but there was that LEGO Marvel Superheroes game, they must be on good terms.” And yeah, that is true but this is a completely different ballgame.
Disney and Warner Bros. saw a mutually beneficial opportunity and went for it. In this case, Disney already has their very own toy game and has two huge movies (Star Wars and Avengers) releasing with the potential to push their toys out to millions of fans with ease. That presents a problem for LEGO Dimensions. Why on earth would Disney let another company capitalize on their huge releases as they are trying to the same, not to mention the fact that LEGO sets are absurdly popular and could potentially bump out Infinity figures. A deal between the two companies would have to be struck if LEGO Dimensions is to be able to include some of the most popular playsets and characters.
So if they hope to push out Star Wars‘ Death Star, or Stark Tower they need to have a sit down with whoever has the power to grant permission. Until then, we’ll have to settle for the expansive DC Universe and other Warner Bros. owned and original LEGO properties. Not that those are bad or anything, just that LEGO Dimensions could be so much more.
