Nintendo still has to decide whether or not to give the license to them.

Am I not allowed to find it odd that k'nex or that company that makes vinal toys has the money to buy the license to a profitable character like Mario and not one of the larger companies? These are pretty much KO legos with mario tossed into the mix for crying out loud.
