Writing on his Twitter account – which seems to exist purely to field questions from developers for LEGO game ideas – TT’s Jon Burton has said “We were THIS close to a Marvel LEGO a few years ago but Megabloks did an exclusive deal for Spider-man so that was that…”
Awww man. Megabloks? Who the hell buys Megabloks? What a waste. And to think, in a parallel universe, at this precise moment, people are trying to guess the characters slated to appear in Marvel vs Capcom vs LEGO.

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 10:22 AMThey would never put all the Marvel characters in one Lego game. There’s almost 5,000 characters in the Marvel universe. They were going to do that with Marvel Universe Online, but that got canceled. *shakes fist*

Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 11:52 PMThank God that deal didn’t go through. Hasn’t LEGO tarnished their image enough with all the other branded sell-outs?
Not that I should even care since I haven’t messed with LEGO bricks in 20+ years. I’m just sick of seeing “LEGO Everything”. It seems hard to find the “normal” LEGO sets anymore. Had some good memories of building planes and ships as a kid.

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 7:28 AMI can’t be alone in thinking that LEGO is the perfect place to make a Doctor Who game – the Doctor doesn’t need a weapon, it’s suitable for both kids and adults, you can play as a bucketload of different characters…
TT, go buy the licence!

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 8:10 AMMeh, the lego games are kind of lame anyways. I’ve never really understood the hype they get, and attempt to do so by playing them. I’m never impressed.

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 8:43 AMCould still happen… right?
One day it will – and they better! They would be stupid not to.

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 10:18 AMDamn, that would have been awesome. It could still happen though, I mean this “exclusive” contract with Megabloks has to end sometime.
But while we’re waiting for that to happen, they could make something just as awesome like Lego Transformers The Video Game. That would be sweet.

Friday, April 23, 2010 at 12:23 PMCouldn’t they have just done a LEGO Marvel game without Spiderman? I don’t see why loss of one character out of thousands should be a deal breaker…
