Sideshow to carry Legos.

[Buttmunch]

Odd annoucement, but a welcome one. As long as they keep their prices at LEGO MSRP (or less!) than they will get my money. No TRU prices please! I'm guessing the Batman and Marvel Legos got their attention. I'd love to earn more Rewards Points from Sideshow since I don't get anything anywhere else.

Instead of SSC bringing in other people's product maybe they should figure out ways of selling their own product so those lines don't die an absurd premature death. The Disney PF line for example...

the problem with disney is that collectors of that type don't want something that scale or that price. the stuff disney sells at the parks are small enough to fit in a luggage bag or a carry on

it's just super niche'

I call BS. They sell all kinds of expensive stuff at Disney shops from porcelain statues to prints and they always offer to ship stuff home.

There's no reason not to have a display model of their PFs in each of the upper scale shops at MK or WDW. Honestly I wouldn;t care if that meant my Disney PFs were made in the 1000s if that meant they cut the prices down too and kept making product.

But LegoLand will have plenty of SS Lego statues!!!!!

Unless they have something exclusive I can't see buying there. I'm picking up the high end town hall tonight at the lego store, with double rewards points giving me an extra $20. Why would I go to Sideshow for marked up Legos. I'm not sure them bringing in legos makes sense.

YAY a new thing I wont need to spend money on. Wooo.

Sideshow takes on LEGO!

Re: Sideshow takes on LEGO!

I got it too.

I'm not so sure it's an April 1st prank.

But I could be wong.

I just noticed there is another thread on this, but didn't see it.

My bad.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I thought this was the beginning of a build up to April Fools. We'll see.

 

[Shalamar]

Why? Lego's high end stuff seems right up some of Sideshow's target audience's alley. It's not like Sideshow will be wasting a lot of resources on R&D. If they can distribute it to people that could not normally get it and maybe do some exclusives why not? I can see not buying it, but driving you away from buying other products....really?

That's an 18 pound box of lego's! Not mine btw.

I have this set... Never getting rid of it...

No worries. I just merged the two.

It could very well be an April 1st prank.

 

[kl241]

In the middle of March? Before St. Paddy's? Bad timing. Bad joke.

 

[agen_kolar]

I'm waiting to hear more news about this before I pass any judgment. It'd be cool if the Sideshow team got to contribute to the designs of new sets, like Star Wars, LOTR, etc.

Does anyone get the idea that perhaps Sideshow may even sell off their statue/figure licenses and gradually progress to just becoming a prime distributor of high-end collectibles?

Nope.
