Is this the end of Legos?


The Legoland theme parks are not even owned by Lego anymore.

Edit: Apparently I was wrong. Lego sold the themeparks during a downturn 20 years ago, but actually bought them back a few years ago, and now consider them a strategic part of the brand.


Lego was in a pretty bad place 20 years ago, now they're the largest toy company in the world, with revenues of around $8billion.


Wild. I would have guessed those Funco Pop toys that I see for seemingly every possible movie, game, comic book, anime, etc. That chunk of plastic feels like it must be selling for a ridiculously good margin.


I still have never EVER seen someone actually buy one of those. I swear they stock the shelves with them and then return them.


Obviously not.
