    3867: Maya Mystica
    Games, 2012
    More details...

    The game Maya Mystica was featured in the 2012 retailers' catalogue but has not surfaced in any country, so far as we are aware, and was thus thought to have been cancelled. However Hungarian blog Kilkk has published a picture of what appears to be a fresh-off-the-production-line copy of it. So, maybe it'll make an appearance next year, along with the rumoured Phineas and Ferb game...

KLIKK is actually a LEGO fan community, and we have a blog too.

Phineas and Ferb game is cancelled, I'll get a link in a sec

Hopefully that robot conquest thing will follow through. Since the friends advent calendar and this game have defied rumors

Nice for parts once it's discounted >50% due to not selling

I did get a feeling that Maya Mystica was actually being replaced by that The Hobbit game. Looking at the pictures of both games the designs of the boards, though designed differently, does hint at more or less identical gameplay.

Sometimes I wish Lego would release the "players" (not the microfigs) that appear on those game boxes as real minifures. Those Mayas would look great. TLG? anybody is reading this over there?? :-)

Nice game, even though Hobbit one contains portraits of Bilbo and Dvarves. There we could got mayan patterns and some useful pieces. Hope we'll see it in 2013!

I think it is very rude to include those minifigs in the box art. I wonder how many things force their parents to buy these games only to find out there are no minifigures in them

^They're pretty obviously not actual LEGO. They're textured, and bending into positions impossible for real minifigs. They're usually pretty clear about what's actual LEGO and what's just art.

Hopefully this gets made, plenty of useful parts and such.
I'd love those figs in minifig form along with all the Heroica ones.
And please TLG NO MORE LICENSED STUFF...

^young kids probably won't know...

@Alemas: What's so bad about Phineas and Ferb? It's actually worth watching unlike most of the stuff on children's TV nowadays...

Also, this set should totally be released on December 21.

I agree with the above (with the exception of Dec 21 part), Phineas and Ferb is awesome! It's actually really good, way better than the now inappropriate (for kids) Spongebob. I wish LEGO would stop making Spongebob already, I hate seeing on shelves, and move on to making Phineas and Ferb sets. Not only would kids love them, but adult fans would too! Not to mention a possible Lego platypus...:D.

TLG said on their twitter that they have no plans for a P&F game, so it was probably fake: https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/220160440796332032

To the people complaining that we don't get the minifigs shown on the game boxes, look at the CMFs. We've gotten pretty much all the desirable figs in one form or another, including the Spartan, Minotaur, Poseidon, and yes, even a Mayan.

Was so keen for Phineas and Ferb game. :(
I agree, it is a very good cartoon, much better than the other garbage that my brother insists on watching. :/

I would love a Minifig of Pacal the Great.

^^^ That's rubbish. I've seen a mocked-up box for it. They *had* plans but don't have them any more, is more like it.

Nothing good could come up from Phoneas and Ferb sets. And I say it as a big P&F fan.

The characters are simply not designed to exist in the 3D world. All P&F dolls and 3d video games look way creepy.

Minifig P&F would be the worst thing that has ever existed and would be necessary to use fire to kill those hell spawns.

The best a P&F theme could have is things like games or any other sets not including characters at all. That's how a P&F game makes sense to me, but that doesn't mean it is a true idea and if LEGO denied making it, there we go.
