Epic Mickey Brought An Icon Back To Disney, And Warren Specter Doesn’t Want You To Forget

Epic Mickey Brought An Icon Back To Disney, And Warren Specter Doesn’t Want You To Forget https://ift.tt/Tmzw29d After over four decades in video games, developer Warren Specter is retiring from the industry. But as Specter moves towards the door, he wants to make sure that the team behind his 2010 game Epic Mickey gets their due for bringing one of Walt Disney's earliest creations back home to Disney. In 2003, the development document for Epic Mickey reportedly spurred then-Disney president Bob Iger to eventually regain the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a breakout animated character created by Disney and animator Ub Iwerks.

For the past two years, the Lego NES has remained at its $270 price--when it's available to purchase at all. Major retailers--sometimes all of them--are constantly sold out of the Lego NES.

It's not the only hard-to-find Lego Nintendo set. The Super Mario 64 Question Block has disappeared from most retailers this year, and Lego retired the $200 building kit in July. Amazon just restocked this set as well--perhaps for the last time.
