In Response To: Re: Saw this on R/Halo. Make it so, 343! *IMG* (bluerunner)


: I haven't followed it much, but I think they have a policy against making
: guns and certain military themes. I think this is why Megabloks picked up
: Halo instead of them. I may be wrong though.

: A quick Google search turned up this:

: "Guideline for weapons and conflict in LEGO experiences"

: "A large number of LEGO minifigures use weapons, and are – assumedly –
: regularly being charged by each others’ weapons as part of children’s role
: play. In the LEGO Group, we acknowledge that conflict in play is
: especially prevalent among 4-9-year-old boys. An inner drive and a need to
: experiment with their own aggressive feelings in order to learn about
: other people’s aggressions exist in most children. This in turn enables
: them to handle and recognize conflict in non-play scenarios. As such, the
: LEGO Group sees conflict play as perfectly acceptable, and an integral
: part of children’s development. We also acknowledge children’s well-proven
: ability to tell play from reality. However, to make sure to maintain the
: right balance between play and conflict, we have adhered to a set of
: unwritten rules for several years. In 2010, we have formalized these rules
: in a guideline for the use of conflict and weapons in LEGO products. The
: basic aim is to avoid realistic weapons and military equipment that
: children may recognize from hot spots around the world and to refrain from
: showing violent or frightening situations when communicating about LEGO
: products. At the same time, the purpose is for the LEGO brand not to be
: associated with issues that glorify conflicts and unethical or harmful
: behavior."

Interesting the number of Lego guns from the Star Wars sets, not to mention the Toy Story 'army men' rifles from that Lego set.

Halo is as futuristic-looking as Star Wars.

In fact, Star Wars often depicts humans fighting humans (Rebels and Empire) with a few aliens thrown in, where Halo (if they left out the Insurrection) is human versus aliens all the time.

So why no Halo Lego?? :(
