But let's be realistic if you are buying that set you aren't selling the baby yoda.

Took a week off work next week to visit family and plans fell through when my cousin got a new job and can't get the time off work.  Might be able to finally make a dent in the backlog.

Having a Lego backlog is such an alien concept to me, I think the longest a sealed new Lego set has survived in my house is 1 day (excluding in the form of wrapped presents)

I guess you could watch the lego show, but c'mon, Bob's Burgers. There's a stupid overlay of a countdown timer though.  just use an incognito tab and watch however much you want

Butterfly Valley posted:Having a Lego backlog is such an alien concept to me, I think the longest a sealed new Lego set has survived in my house is 1 day (excluding in the form of wrapped presents) I've had lego sets sitting unopened for 2 reasons. When we found out we were having a kid, at the same time Lego put the entire castle line on a clearance sale so I bought about 20 different sets and we were set for christmas and birthdays for about 4 years. Other than that, I've currently got the space station on hold to build, but that's because we're re-doing our basement and I'm putting shelves up to display my better lego creations, from everything I hear the space station is fragile as poo poo so it's getting built and thrown up on the wall immediately.

I still have Wall-E in a box unopened. I never had a place to set him and then I moved, so he’s in a box somewhere at my moms.

Release him, imo in regard to backlogs: I actually tackled my technic backlog by building four technic sets (each at least 1500 pieces or more) back to back. After that I couldn't see technic pieces anymore, so I built the Executor MoC. After that I couldn't greeble anymore but still somehow decided to bricklink Empire over Jedha and yeah my life is ruined at the moment.... (still building the hill, since hours, only to then greeble it to death)

Uh....I actually expected them to go both for nostalgic factor for AFOLs, plus some play features for kids. This though? I think it looks pretty ugly (but that's just mho), so I have zero interest. And I assume what we see here is the 100 Dollar set, and the 10 pieces = 10 dollar sets are the big figures with LCDs on them. Gonna be a tough sell for kids if Mario Maker 2 is like 60 bucks or so (and if they don't have a Switch or 3Ds or whatever, they might not even know Mario that much, I assume?). I also expected something completely different.

 Hard pass. Just make a bunch of sets inspired by memorable parts in games each with different minifigs. You know, like the other licenses in your best selling line of toys.

I dunno, I probably would have gone absolutely apeshit over something like this if it was around when I was a kid. It's a little risky, I can't imagine developing these was cheap compared to what it would normally take Lego for a new line, but it seems like a pretty inspired idea and it's a good fit for the IP.

I started the second building of this year's modular last night, having owned the set for a bit more than a month. Other than that, I have a open box Hidden Side set and the 2019 Star Wars advent calendar that were given to me by a colleague who is downsizing and moving overseas. Lastly the 75192 Millennium Falcon which is mostly still in the box but because I don't have a space large enough to keep it as a work in progress that my kids won't get into. E: I'm not crazy about much of that Lego Mario video, but N+1th Doctor will probably lose her goddamn mind over it. Nth Doctor fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Mar 12, 2020 |

That's not the $100 set. I'm guessing it is the $60 that has like 250 pieces. The $100 set has approx 1000 pieces so is going to be bigger? More set like? Unless everything is linked, then the series is going to be a huge failure.

I just don't see what you could possibly do with that electronic mario set. It being electronic and either scanning bricks with a camera or doing NFC stuff, it means you have to play within the boundaries of however they program it. That puts limitations on what you can do with it, and I just don't get what you even do with it. I hope there's more videos soon that explain what exactly it is. It looks like it might be some sort of game, but if you move Mario around yourself, how would they enforce any setbacks or consequences? Unless it's like a board game and you have to move it around the board like the game tells you.

Not the most exciting thing, but it'll be a good pool of pieces for people to make some cool rear end Mario poo poo. I might just buy it all and have a cool little section of Mario stuff. I have no understanding how the game is supposed to play or if it's not a game and just something for kids to gently caress around with.

Presumably there's some kind of soft rules like a board game, and the "Game" just relies on the player following those rules. If the lego board games were anything to go by, the rules will probably be very loose and encourage players to make up their own variations.

I saw a clarification that only the Mario figure has the electronic poo poo going on (so presumably the similar priced sets will be different characters?) and the sets themselves just have items Mario can interact with. Hopefully they don't just put the mario in every set and jack up the price (who am I kidding).

From CNET's write-up:quote:The larger-than-minifigure Mario shown in the video has unique sensors inside, plus it has speakers and a screen. "It's a color sensor, so it senses a selection of the Lego color palette," Bennink says, "you can also use your existing brick bins to build levels from it and it reads these action bricks -- that has a little barcode, a color barcode, and the sensor picks that up. Mario has a unique reaction to those bricks: It knows when to start the level and when to finish the level, what's inside a question mark block -- and it gets something out of the block. Different enemies also have the little bricks, so Mario knows if it's a good or bad guy."

FBS posted:From CNET's write-up: Yeah it looks like a pseudo dexterity game. You can see that the Piranha Plant is a little see-saw catapult to try and knock it into the pipe. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of thing where you shoot a cannonball or something similar to knock down enemies, or need to go roll a ball along some kind of maze like the wood marble maze set. e: basically this, but lego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26UphjKeO8M CodfishCartographer fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Mar 12, 2020 |
