Curious did any of you guys ever buy these?
I bought a few at Walmart years ago, I still have old bins with some of those fnaf sets
I wish to buy one, its imposible to get it in poland
I bought a decent amount of them, (I’m also a LEGO fan, this was the only knockoff sets I bought) I want them back but they cost hundreds of dollars just for one
This is my #1 favorite fnaf merch
As soon as I discovered them around Wave 3, I would regularly buy whichever sets I didn't have. Eventually though, stores just stopped stocking them.
In the Fnaf movie Duplo bricks are seen. This is the closest lego and Fnaf have gotten
Could this hint to a crossover?
@@awesomepants184probably but highly unlikely considering FNAF is not really that family friendly
@Universes201 maybe back in the 90s
@@Universes201they did Overwatch tho which is mature
@@Universes201well apparently it is considering they wanted to make the movie that way
I love these sets, and personally, I think that we didn't get enough of these and I think that it could have been greater if they continued it. I think if they wanted to discontinue it they could have made it public. They instead kind of just chose to quietly discontinue it and that's the buggy part. What's worse is that I remember the days where Mcfarlane toys developers and designers would say that they couldn't do without releasing a wave every toyfair, and how the sets were the most, if not one of the most best selling construction lines of all their history. I think the last wave was just them trying something new, and it did feel the most lackluster of all 6 waves, but I didn't mind and maybe I think if there was a Wave 7 they could have finished with the sets from games they never finished, like Sister Location, FNAF 3, and A couple of characters from 2 like JJ and Endo 02, and Jack-O-Bonnie/Chica. But instead, here we are...
Did nobody else notice him call nightmare Bonnie “phantom Bonnie”
I got a few. The Scooping Room was one of the last things I bought from Toys R us. It is a shame, but I think other lines are to blame for the failure of the FNAF line. I got a Pearl McFarlane and her legs were too weak.
I wouldn't mind a comeback. I do have a few of their Cuphead ones too. And I'm trying to get the original four for South Park.
I definitely wanna do a video on McFarlane’s building lines as a whole, they had such an interesting approach, instead of focusing on big hitters they focused on a variety of niches.
I'd hardly call McFarlane failures, they are very detailed, and sold pretty well. I picked some up myself and it's sad to see them lose the lisence
I don’t think you know how licenses work bud, a company doesn’t lose a license, they have the rights to a license for a determined amount of years and as the license holder they can choose to not renew it when the contract is over or another company can buy out their contract and take the license from them, because McFarland silently cancelled the line and it takes 2 years to make product, we can deduce that mcfarlane cancelled the line in 2018 or early 2019, since they didn’t make any product pass 2020 and 2021 sets should’ve started development by 2019 in order to make their release deadline in 2021.
Now from what little information I could find cause mcfarlane is a private company and they do not disclose sales numbers, the entire mcfarlane building line was failing and a lot of stores stop selling them as a hole, meaning fewer sets were produced and that’s why their so expensive, since only vast quantities exist.
@@MyBrickOpinions🤓🤓
@@L1888ivfsc That's literally the point of the series dude
@@MyBrickOpinions that's what he means. A more accurate term would be dropping the license, but nobody says that. Also, your assertion that a company can't actually lose a license is incorrect. While the agreement is for a set time frame, the original owner e.g. Scott Cawthon can choose not to renew the agreement as well. Thus the person who originally bought the license can lose it.
@@MyBrickOpinions Another company buying out the license means that the first one lost it what are you on about?! Don't "Um, actually" someone and prove their point at the same time. My original reply was totally pointless because you shot your argument in the foot already.
Mcfarlanes: just being mentioned
Spider criminal: **Having ptsd of the batman figure with their awful articulation with Tick Tock playing**
I understood that reference
Bro called a toy line with multiple waves that went on for years a “failure”
Man its a shame i never picked any of the macfarlane sets up they are worth hundreds now
I remember seeing these sets as they came out, but the reasons I never got them was 1. Didn't have the money 2. My interest in brick sets had diminished by this point after years being really into LEGO, but also 3. I just didn't like the textured look of everything. Like, yeah, it's all very detailed but one thing I like about brick sets is being able to take them apart and make other stuff. If most of the pieces are textured or have some very specific purpose, then I'm not going to be as interested if the parts don't look as flexible in their use.
Of course, that's probably just a me thing. Still, money was a major factor for me too. Even LEGO was always very expensive to me.
Nah I totally see you point, McFarlane sets weren’t really thought out in that way, they definitely a one trick pony, they packed that system for creativity
I used to collect these little sets years ago, I haven't bought any of them in a long time. They were a little more fragile than Lego in a way and they weren't the best quality in terms of plastic. But the details and texturing are really good on both the builds and figures.
🫨
used to try and collect alot of these back when they released. they were awesome to have but i still think they had issues, boiling down to quality and pricing.
aftermarket was hell looking for ones you wanted specifically, so if u didnt get it out in thw wild, u were kinda screwed. and 10-15 base price for basically a polybag didnt help.
the lack of polish on some didnt help either. alot of them had this kind of chalky feel, while some were hard to stick onto their stages. build quality with circus control wasnt the best either.
that being said tho, i do miss them. the oversaturation of fnaf at the time didnt help them at all.
My theory as to why there are no more construction sets is because when the RUclipsr Puppet Steve interviewed the person who makes these sets he said that he works with Scott to make these.
So I assume the reason they don't make these anymore might have something to do with Scotts retirement but I can't be for certain since neither Scott or McFarlane toys have not said anything about this.
0:55 the hypocrisy in lego is tremendous
I have like 20 Macfarlanes Lego set, and I actually like it.... I was sad because I couldn't find more and now it cost a lot... I wish I've would have gotten more.
It was so Cheap back then
As a Australian I feel like there wasn’t a lot of fnaf stuff. Like we hardly got much of the merchandise you say was over-saturating the market. Maybe if the limited stock got to spread out a bit to places where people may want them but won’t pay to have it shipped to them that may have helped?
As a German I have the problem of relying on bootleg fnaf merch on Amazon, otherwise I would only have funko pops to choose from otherwise 😢
These lines never made there way over to Britain it stayed over In America so that didn't help so i actually had to get the nock off ones
I remember always buying these sets, i have all the waves up until like, the wave that included plush trap, cuz of pricing and after my apt caught on fire, i lost a lot of pieces and it stopped motivating me from buying more lol, but i wish they kept going, i miss seeing the sets, hopefully mcfarlane would rethink their decision now that the fnaf fandom has been revived and even more with the new movie, or at least some rereleases like they did with wave 1 at gamestop
I would say, when it came to the building blocks like Mega Blok/Construx and Kre-o, they all missed a big thing when it came to these sets, which is limited imagination.
Hear me out.
From what was done, McFarlane based their sets on what already existed, in turn limiting what they can do. Same with other building block brands other than Lego, when it came to licensed set, they all encountered the same problem, they limit themselves to what is given to them, not to the potential they can have.
Of course there are properties that are limited like Call of Duty, but TMNT and Transformers have a lot of potential, but the makers focused on making building block sets mainly to make building block sets, the potential became lost because they limited themselves to what they have on hand and not on what they can achieve.
Totally see your point
I am a LEGO fan who also really loves the FNAF franchise, so, of course, I love the idea of an FNAF-based construction line. But, as much as I appreciate the health and dedication McFarlane poured on these sets... I see no appeal to the products. Honestly, the sets look really ugly and so are the characters.
The amount of detail they had to put in that tight space, while admirable, made the whole thing look like it was handmade, and not in a good way. I can not help but think that they look like they were made out of wax. Especially since the line work doesn't look that great either. And some details are, for me personally, unnecessary. Like why do they need normal hands instead of basic claw hands (that's probably because LEGO has the rights to the shape of the Minifigure). The same goes for the set themselves. The pieces are way too specialized to the point that they feel like it doesn't belong there. One thing that I like about LEGO is when I find a really clever technique to achieve the shape of an object, which I don't see here. Again! Great attention to detail, but the scale makes them look messy.
Maybe that's just how my brain works after having over a decade of experience with LEGO and my mind is too set on how things should be.
1:11
Lego is so pathetic for this
Lime they think a fan game will destroy their image forever 😭😭😭
I'm always getting questions about how I got my FNAF MacFarlane sets and where to get them, but I'm scared to give them an answer because they aren't sold anymore.
I bought mine when they were rereleased, and I like them, but I do wish that Lego made official sets themselves
I feel a great "brick built" line would be minimates. Not only do they have more articulation which is perfect because the articulation seams are very noticeable like fnaf animatronics, but they could have replacable helmets with endo skeleton heads underneath.
5:12 bro called nightmare bonnie "phantom bonnie"
The main problem icy is that they’re really isn’t anything to base build on, like of course you have your outliers like the pirates Cove or the show stage but after that…… there’s really nothing. (at least before security breach.) instead of building sets this will need something more like Lego blind bags. Because that way you can make whatever character you want really from whatever game and just throw it in the bag, the only thing we would lose in the scenario is the builds and let’s be honest, absolutely NO one was buying those sets for the builds
Yeah I had bought the original backstage, bed with nightmare fred, and the closet. But by sure after the 4th game I was loosing interest in the franchise so I wasn't gonna buy any more sets. I wish I just had some foxy stuff instead but I took what I could find, usually at gamestop. But holy shit I did not realize they got this expensive I wish I kept the boxes.
I still have some sets with Toy Freddy Shadow bonnie and The puppet!
Now that FNAF is popular more than ever it would be great is lego took the opportunity and at least gave up an 18 plus FNAF set
Are you stupid?
McFarlanes also did South Park sets.
I wasn't even aware of these. If I had been, I would have gone out of my way to buy a few when they were on the market. Maybe their problem was promotion?
these are so badass, I hope these come back out with the success of the new movie..
These bricks were very high quality ngl
I didnt know these were real I thought it was just fan made stuff also I never saw them in stores so I never knew
Mega would make awesome fnaf sets cuz they'd make the animatronics look right.
Can you make a video discussing the Mega Cunstrux Call of Duty theme and how it failed? I would love to see it
Will definitely consider it! Thanks for the suggestion
Do McFarlane south park next
i think Mega or even ken-x can try there luck seeing how big the movie was
One thing was that the knockoffs were way better. In terms of price, design, and appearance. I've always seen the mcfarlane line as really bad. With no reason to buy the sets because there were better and cheaper options
9:44 i thought he was about to say that’s just a theory a GAME THEORY
Should definitely done that
amazing video, i never knew these existed
The problem with mclaren is that it. is. not. Lego. Lego still is here at the top and I honestly if could I would only by iconic set with freddy, chica and bonnie because im not this interested in collecting this line, but if it was made by Lego everyone would look at it for some longer time, that's the issue
Oh I absolutely agree
I used to watch a brick review channel that covered all these sets as they came out. I wasn't into FNAF but watched all his videos anyway.
I think the reason why LEGO doesn't want to do anything with FNAF it's because they probably saw what it was about and we're like "CHILDREN play these?!"
My brother had the backrooms with damaged Chica and endoskeleton and I always wondered what it was. These are really cool sets. I wish they would have kept going.
I’m glad that you as a Lego fan addressed other Lego fans that don’t like other brands besides Lego
The fact is that funko got the license for it and is making smaller versions of its action figures with removable faces, and we didn't get important characters from McFarlane like Nightmare bonnie and others :Edit I didn't know they made him
I just love how many names he got wrong
Either way it was still funny
I have the Backstage with the box and instructions. I recently searched it's current worth, and it ended up being worth around $150 used. Around $200 brand new.
I randomly have the game area from Fnaf 2
I strongly believe especially after the FNAF movie the demand is HIGH HIGH and higher then it’s been. Like damn after watching this I wanted to get the stage for my shelf and make my own figures 😂 if LEGO snags the license they could potentially DEVOUR the market if they make the sets and line properly and for older LEGO collectors, something like LEGO store exclusive sets. But hey I guess it’s just to Ali express I go 😂
I remember seeing these at Walmart and interested in getting it but with the amount of Lego, I was more inclined to get Lego then I wouldn’t get much out of so that might have to deal with the cancellation of it
You call them failed
I call them abandoned.
McFarlane needs to return to their brick-built FNaF
They sold poorly what’s the argument?
@@MyBrickOpinions
Sold poorly? What the heck are you talking about?
@@MyBrickOpinions
They didn't sell poorly, McFarlane Toys just stopped making them for some reason!
Yeah because they sold poorly, success doesn’t get cancelled out of nowhere
@@MyBrickOpinions not exactly
While yes the hype for them were dying down by that time and the last wave was a bit disappointing it was still rather popular in stores like game stop. More specifically the medium and some of the micro sets due to its lower price tag when it came down to the last two waves some of the sets were still a bit difficult to find at least in some parts in the United States because they were either sold out or waiting next shipment
When it comes to expectations for the last waves they failed but when it comes to actual sales they were still pretty decent
@Mybrickopinons sould've said but hey that's just a theory a Lego theory or toy theory or brick theory since matpat retired
This was before I knew that tho… next time
I find it funny I had these when they came out and now I collect mcfarlane dc multiverse
saddly these are expensive asf
question:can you make a top 10 worst monkie kid episodes list
I always wanted these but had no money as a kid
This was so fascinating and now I want all the sets
Never knew there was these many sets
I need that anime foxy figure in my life
5:13 phantom Bonnie 💀💀
I was expecting you to say "But hey, it's just a theory, a game theory'"
Great video though
I live in aus, and it was impossible to buy these
Hmm I ligitmately wonder why Lego isn't doing any sets since they are doing things with scares, gore, and other things like that, so why does Lego not wanna do it?
I wish I could have these again, (I’m also a big LEGO fan and these are the only knockoffs I bought)I had a decent amount, unfortunately just one cost hundreds of dollars
Failed? Have you seen how much people are reselling their sets that are already built without the box? The toy line might have failed their company, but they are worth even more now because of it.
Yeah I think you prove my point, Mcfarlane made so little of these and they became so scarce that now they're rare, if these were highly succesful and gamechanging they'd be widely accesible on the secondary market.
@@MyBrickOpinions I agree. They’re only valuable because they’re discontinued and most kids don’t still have theirs put together. So there’s not many in box left and not even many with all the pieces left out of the box. So you’re completely right that they failed but I still stand that the lucky few (including me) who picked these up, have something almost rare now. Heck look at funko fnaf figures, no not the big ones the size of your whole hand. The small ones in sets of 4. Those are discontinued a long time ago and go RIDICULOUS now too. For example I’ve actually seen the two boxes of figures I have (both of the funko fnaf series ONE small action figures) both new in box together, sold for 90$ I paid MAYBE 30 for both bought separately new total. So yes, good video and you proved me wrong there. But the second half of what I said is still true and cool to me. But you seemed to like the sets when you talked about them at the start of the video too! If that’s true I agree if you think a company should start doing it again, maybe don’t exclusively sell the sets at GameStop, that’s a start XD. I’m pretty sure that and online was the only places to get them.
knowing that a LEGO alternative for FNAF won't happen again sucks man. Closest we have right now are Snaps but like... are those really LEGO alternatives??
I think eventually someone will notice the hunger for an alternative and will make it, my money is on mega
bro what? it wasnt a failure, alot of people bought these.
that’s the name of series looking at dead lines, no shade thrown
@@MyBrickOpinions oh okay
But hey that’s just my opinion…. A BRICK OPINION!
If the smallest sets going for over $100 on secondary is a failure, I want to see what success looks like.
That's exactly the point, succes is availability, succesful toy lines are widely available on the secondary market, CAUSE EVERYONE BOUGHT ONE, cause they actually sold... Obscure failed lines become rare and expensive over time when years later demand increases, that's the point of the video, the line ended too soon, a few years before it could've found it's peak and now it's all over priced when the demand is higher than ever.
I rarely saw them in stores in the first place. Just the ones I mentioned getting in my reply to the pinned comment, and Molten Freddy. Supply was _always_ low.
I was only able to get like... 3 sets. I wanted the show stage but couldn't due to me living in the UK. I also stopped buying due to the price. Same with LEGO tbh
Soon I heard Mcfarlane actually started making DC figures (I'm obsessed with Batman and all things DC) and that's my main catch. It's still hard to believe these sets came from these guys...
underrated video
underrated account
underrated toy line?
what is this
Stop spelling the names wrong 😢
These sets are okay, but building is a pain. And the designs are just.. bad for some of them, like baby looking like she ate cheetos. I hope lego or mega contrux does these.
Lmao
Damaged freddy?
Phantom bunny?????
I know they’re wrong, I used the names on mcfarlanes site
Btw fnaf 4 is considered to be the best in the fandom with 5 doing well but getting less love as time went on but people loved 6 for it's ending.
gth for the jumpscare
Maybe they’re different now but when I had access to some of the sets they were… awful lmao. Like the quality isn’t even in the same close to the same ballpark as Lego oml.
Really? From opinions I could find most people said these were alright, definitely not lego quality but not terrible
I just want to point out that the character you called “jumpscare Funtime Freddy” is actually Yendo. Also, shadow Bonnie has 2 names. One long word scramble and a three letter one, I think you were trying to do the short one but did the first three letters of the long one, as his short name is RXQ. Hope this helps.
I used the names on the box
And it’s a fun game sometimes
9:51 Happy Halloween.
You’re the first person I’ve seen who called HZD a violent franchise in the context of it getting a LEGO theme but you’re not wrong when you think about it since it’s the only game series they’ve adapted and only series overall (other than Stranger Things) that they’ve adapted that’s rated MA15+ in Australia. It’s certainly appropriate for LEGO but there’s more violence than a lot of people seem to remember, from what I’ve played you’re killing human bad guys nearly as much as you’re killing the robots.
Exactly, I find it so funny as someone who loves horizon, you kill a lot of humans in that game, yet other franchises get called too violent for lego standard, James Cameron’s Avatar as well there a good argument it’s too violent if we’re looking at Lego’s guidelines, and it’s not a dig on the sets, it’s more of a dig on Lego’s violence guidelines
Hor hor hor hor hor hor
Actually, I’m just now finding out that I will probably never be able to afford the original stage set from the first game… God dammit
same
i would love to have a set but in germany they are many hundred euros
Dude The Subtitles Are Wrong ALot Of The Time 😭
this videos cool but you did name some characters bye wrong names
Yeah, I’ve told that, I only used McFarlane website as the source for the names, should’ve double checked with the wiki, that’s on me
@@MyBrickOpinions it's fine bro
I have the FNaF 2 party room and Samurai Foxy sets but I can't find where they went... huh. Never knew they didn't make these anymore.
whats even the *actual* reason as to why Lego wont do FNAF? or are they just kinda pussying out on it lmao, they know it will sell well yet wont do it
Awesome vid 🐻🐰🐺
Thanks! 😁
I respecto your opinión on fnaf
😓
I never actually bought any of these because I didn't particularly like the "minifigure" designs, but I constantly heard about how bad their quality control was. Which is honestly on par with the rest of Fnaf merch...
Oh yeah Lego because police never solve murder or terrorism ever they only get rid of funny robbers and swearers 😂
You do know that this is a Danish company founded by someone who lived through World War II, right?
Be lucky that the Hageman Brothers were even allowed to depict The Sons of Garmadon from Season 8 of _Ninjago_ as a terrorist organization in all but name!
i hope they do i will buy them
Just going to say, that you constantly referred to variants by the wrong names, and a lot of the characters in more recent sets are actually easily recognisable if you at all play the games, or even care whatsoever about the franchise.
And on top of that, I can think of several characters they could've done. For example, there's the Jack-o's, JJ, Endo02, Electrobab, Bonnet, Mr. Hippo, Orville Elephant, Pigpatch, Happy Frog, Nedd Bear, Mr. Can Do, Mr. Hugs, Bucket Bob, Pan Stan, #1 Crate, Music Man, Funtime Chica, El Chip, Scraptrap, Scrap Baby, Rockstar Foxy, Candy Cadet, and more!
I used the names on the box and on the McFarland site literally
I was thinking they could've done more too. Shutting down the sets without any message at all is just so wrong. They could have done more and it just felt too soon that we stopped getting them. Especially when they left certain game sets incomplete like FNAF 3, Sister Location, and FFPS (6). In fact, technically I could only say FNAF 4 and 1 are complete, but even then just 4 when you think about it because if you count the Dining Area and Supply Closet then FNAF 1 would still be incomplete. Like I said, there should've been so much more and there was a lot of opportunity here, so... Not sure what happened there. And well, I guess the world will never know.
Thanks for video.
I would like if you released these videos more frequently, about other lisenses. And I hope from now on you are not waiting for something hypeful in order to make them like with Fnaf 😅
I have one coming next week, I’ve just been working so hard on the next one, but I had planned the Halloween special for so long, I pushed the next one to November and made this one first, but hopefully from now on I’ll be able to get these out quicker
@@MyBrickOpinions Thanks for telling about this 😁👍
I watch Five Nights at Freddy's movie ❤
lego sucks mostly and is overpriced i am glad we have brands like mcfarlan
while mcfarlane had a good run, it's lack of understanding the industry was it's downfall
Don't forget about mega construx
Hence why cool Bootleg Lego exist.
Okay you obviously aren't part of the fnaf fandom, the characters and sets you call "obscure" and "reskins" are integral and important characters un fnaf.
Dont comment on stuff you have no idea of
Lmao this “don’t comment on stuff you have no idea” is so toxic and dumb, dude I played the first 3 games, loved them as a child, most people my age did the same thing, my point was that that casual audience that played the games but didn’t get into the “lore” had no idea who these characters were and thus didn’t have interest in the product. People like you are the reason the fnaf Fandom sucks, don’t gatekeep content and product. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
@@MyBrickOpinions I am not gatekeeping you from the fandom. It's awesome you enjoyed the first three games and are welcome in the fandom. But like calling major characters from FNAF 4 - 6 "obscure" is just annoying. Acknowledge you don't know about something instead of making blanket statements.
I am very happy you decided to share your opinions on these sets just hoped for a more well thought out video.
Just in the future acknowledge where you lack knowledge and cover stuff you know about.
