- Unreleased LEGO software - need to find what other software there is; there's apparently a lot from the TT era but idk what's what - some early ones in particular like the James Bond and Tomb Raider ones seem more like propositions than actually cancelled games. Also recent articles about cancelled TT stuff post-Skywalker Saga name some disney-related game but aren't clear about if it's Lego or not.
