Rumor: LEGO Games line discontinued

The info comes from the blog All About Bricks, generally reliable and very knowledgeable. The person who runs this blog seems to have a special relationship with LEGO, and I sometimes even wonder if ...

In short, this blog announces the end of the LEGO Games range as well as the cancellation of the next three boxes initially planned for this year and presented with great fanfare at the last Toy Fair: 50003 Batman, 50004 Story Mixer et 50006 Legends of Chima. The box 50011 The Battle of Helm's Deep, also expected this year, is not mentioned in the article published on the blog.

The choice to stop this range of board games which allow short games and whose rules are accessible to the youngest would be due to a significant drop in sales.

Yet different sources confirm that some of these new references have been seen on sale in several stores, especially in Germany.

For its part, amazon had posted these references online before removing them a few weeks ago. But this was also the case for all the novelties of the second half of the year, no doubt put online too early by the juggernaut of online sales.

This information has not yet been officially confirmed by LEGO, so it is advisable to wait for a possible announcement from the manufacturer.

For my part, I only bought a few licensed boxes as the references 3920 The Hobbit et 3866 Battle of Hoth to add them to my collection more than to play with. I do know, however, that my son regularly plays with a friend of his with the box 3856 Ninjago. I also know to see her recurrently in birthday snacks as the reference 3844 Creationary is undoubtedly one of the bestsellers in the prolific range developed by LEGO.

And you, do you regularly play with these board games?
