Sounds promising initially. He-Man megablocks and a few other Mattel properties could be interesting. With much of the product slate well underway for 2014 and maybe the first part of 2015, no worries there either.

I am worried about what changes may happen on the back half of 2015 though and then into 2016. If Mattel keeps with their track record of corner cutting, this may be the end of the amazing Mega Block lines we have now alongside how much they've improved. I hope not, and if anything leads to a better brand integration. (Along with using the new highly poseable Halo MB spartans and Marvel minifigs as mini figure bases!)

But Mattel's track record doesn't suggest this. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect by 2016 or 2017 they'll downsize Megabrands, changeover the manufacturing, let QC slip into the crapper, and overall give Mega Brands the reputation that Mattel has been building over the past decade.

Seems like now is the time to start buying Mega Brands products you want that you may have missed out on. They may be skyrocketing in value over the coming years. Plus if you want the big blocks without lead paint in them, might want to buy within the next 2+ years too.

Right when the Halo sets were getting badass too. T_T
If Mattel manages to let them run autonomously though with better financial backing, this could be fantastic! Sadly, Mattel isn't known for that. T_T
