Lego and Viacom licenses, will they return?

[Mr No]

I thought we could discuss something interesting, what put an end to the deal between ViacomCBS (Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon) and TLG? Lego has made sets based on multiple Viacom properties such as Spongebob, TMNT and Avatar The Last Airbender. So what happened? I think during the year 2014, when the Bay Turtles film sets flopped, Viacom pulled the plug and moved to Mattel for Mega Bloks (later on known as Mega Construx). I think Lego didn't have an interest in their properties either, including the fact that WB and Disney were more important for Lego. Will we see more Viacom sets in the future? I don't think so, Mattel doesn't seem to have any license from them anymore but I have my doubts we will see any Lego sets for a long them. I also think a small brick based conpany got the Spongebob license. Right now Lego has strong deals with Disney, WB and now Universal (which also has rights to make Lego movies) and ViacomCBS is in trouble, Paramount Pictures is close to be sold (they lose lots of money). No idea on Nickelodeon. I just don't see Lego wanting to work with Viacom anymore. That's why I cannot see any Avatar TLA set become a reality even though there is some demand, it doesn't seem likely.

I’m honestly not sure. I would also like more LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender sets, but judging by those ATLA product ideas that have been denied on LEGO Ideas, I don’t think Nickelodeon is interested in any licensing deals with LEGO anymore.
