The TRUTH About LEGO Star Wars Minifigures!

LEGO Star Wars Minifigures have long been known to only come in LEGO Star Wars sets. Due to a longstanding contract between Hasbro & Star Wars, LEGO claimed its license barred them from selling LEGO Star Wars Minifigures individually. LEGO YouTubers such as myself have always believed this to be the truth and would push it as truth to our audience when they would ask why there isn't a LEGO Star Wars CMF yet. As I've come to find out, LEGO lied. LEGO has always been able to make a Star Wars CMF but hasn't "because they didn't want to". They've deprived fans of a heavily desired LEGO Star Wars CMF Series for over a decade, glued LEGO Magnet Minifigures to stands, and given people no choice but to buy sets to get desirable LEGO Star Wars Minifigures. A fine business model for The LEGO Group, but lying would go against their coveted Brand Values. Very cool.

I was super nervous about releasing this, let me know what you think....
To re-cap what I was told since this video is long and just to be super clear.
- LEGO has always been able to do a Star Wars CMF and hasn’t done one because they just don’t want to.
- LEGO heard the fan theory that Star Wars couldn’t be sold because of Hasbro license and liked it so much they just ran with it.
- When the LEGO Magnet Minifigures began being glued to stands it wasn’t because of Star Wars it was because too many Minifigures were falling to the factory floor and couldn’t be used if they touched the floor.

LEGO: I would have gotten away with if it wasn’t for you youtubers

LEGO is exactly like Chancellor Palpatine, playing both sides and deceiving everyone.

[darkhound]

To quote Obi-Wan: “He was deceived by a lie, we all were.”

[RyanKhodai]

Fans : Why did you lie to us?
Lego : (Mr. Krabs voice) Money

“How many other lies have I been told by the council!?” - All of us.

[darthmomo]

HOW MANY OTHER LIES HAVE I BEEN TOLD BY THE COUNCIL!?!

[sovahst]

Imagine if Hasbro has came out earlier to say that they didn't restrict lego from selling lego star wars minifigures on their own

As someone who is new into the Lego Star Wars space (less than or just about a year of collecting and building) I do find it disheartening not being able to buy minifigs or have those random bags to get some figs as well. Don't get me wrong, I want to build the really dope Star Wars sets that they have, but for example: I always walk past the General Grevious star fighter and I WANT IT SO BAD, but seriously ONLY want it for the figures. That is it.

[ForTheWookiees]

Lego: deceives fans for years

Saw Gerrera: makes you wonder what else they’re lying about

[gngey]

LEGO is the exact definition of a love hate relationship

[zhirth]

Lego: "You've turned *Lego fans* against me"
Ryan: "You have done that your self"

[icjetks]

When Lego denies the Dark Bucket project:
You were right about one thing master, the negotiations were short

[theandonlyjawa]

Conspiracy theory: the source is Hans Svenson

[jasonfrank]

It would not surprise me if LEGO simply waited for CMFs to be $5 to release a Star Wars line that will most likely push the CMFs to $6.

[Imperialofficer]

I mean I feel like Ryan is the most hardcore Lego Star Wars fan and the fact the Lego group hasn’t realized the internet exists....edit: I mean it’s the sad thing about history as well....lots of things taken as truth without questioning it

[kekchanbiggestfan]

The fact that they just explained it away on another toy company, making LEGO fans upset at that other toy company instead of LEGO almost sounds like grounds for a lawsuit

[hachiroku]

This video is a true pìece of lego journalism.

[willbricksproductions]

You know what let’s just call this brick buster on LEGO

[stoneydixon]

Lego: "We can't due to our license"
Hasbro: I ain't got no idea what you're talking about, but this isn't my fault!
