D&D General D&D Legos: Why don't we have them?

[Xeviat]

You know what? While D&D is at the highest levels of popularity then it's ever been, while they're working on making a movie and have multiple high profile video games coming out ... why haven't we gotten a D&D Lego (or megablocks, or whatever) deal? It seems like the products would simply design themselves:

• Bucket of Player Characters - 5-10 mini fig bodies, two or three heads for each of the races (more for human and elf, since they can be used for other things), with parts for helmets, armor, weapons, wings ...
• Bucket of Orcs - mini figs for your orc horde needs.
• Bucket of Goblins - mini figs for your goblin horde needs.
• Monster Manual Packs - sets for building 3 or so smaller classic monsters, like rust monsters, displacer beasts.
• Iconic Monsters - big sets for making big iconic monsters and villains, like Orcus or Gargantuan Dragons
• Dungeon Terrain - for making dungeon rooms
• Wilderness Terrain - for making wilderness maps
• Urban Terrain - etc.

Just seems like it would be fun and useful, plus many would be useful for other lego aficionados.

What are other product tie-ins you'd like to see?

We kinda did, Hasbro put out some D&D Kreos a while back.

If you get a chance, watch the Netflix series The Toys That Made Us. The Lego episode. You might have your answer. Legos are quite expensive to make and the fads/interest is often too short lived. The company almost went under a few times due to bad licensing predictions. Most of their money makers are in house things, like Ninjago. Others are huge IP, like star wars or marvel. D&D just isn't big enough to justify the costs of design and manufacture.

These are still available in the US. I saw a set just last week at a local Dollar General store. The box had a copyright year of 2015 and I think it was brought in from Canada.

I have the Kreo Drizzt. I picked him up for giggles from a Toys-R-us back before they closed down in the US.

I got a few blind bags of D&D Kreons.

They came with a round base that fit perfectly in the usual grid. They had pieces for Tieflings and Dragonborns. You could put on armor on your Kreon, or give them a staff or a mace...

Great potential for building your own character to your specification, but for some reason they didn't bother to market this stuff to ACTUAL DnD player (or anybody really). And it was back during 4e's waning days.

Eventually some of the pieces (plus GI Joe pieces) went and got reused for the Transformers Kreon Warriors line.

Knight Soundwave was pretty neat. He came with a wooden Laserbeak.

Hasbro doesn't want Lego making more money, and the D&D Kreos sort of floundered on release

 

[Tonguez]

KREO, Lego castle and Lego Heroica already do it

theres also Lego Lord of the Rings

I suppose DnD licenced figures might have a market...

I think this is the big one, really. Lego and Hasbro are major competitors in the toy market.

Kreo is kinda off brand knock off Lego.

Not sure if you can even get it here now I think my niece had some.
