Price per part ratio isn’t great at all, especially since it looks to be mostly
Small pieces.

Most likely because of moving parts Which still aren't as good as K'nex

God part of me wants to get this as I finally have a shelf for crap like this but very few things on it.

Someone should make a Lego Game Genie.

Not sure.

I don't know if they even sell giant boxes of basic bricks anymore. I'm assuming they do like all of us had as a kid..... that giant box of basic blocks in red, white, blue and some yellow pieces. And some weird shapes like mini triangular rooftop kind of shapes (these v-shaped kind of bricks).

Toy companies realized decades ago getting people to make stuff from scratch with bricks is boring as fuck. So you make sets so people don't really have to use their head, but just copy what's on the box.

Yeah they absolutely do sell just general brick boxes.

Also, lol.

How is this even Lego anymore. Back in my day they were similar blocks you could make things out of.

The entire thing is made of lego? It’s probably got a mostly brick interior just with plate pieces on the outside to hide the top studs

I miss the LEGO that was just a giant bucket of random bricks and you used your creativity to build whatever you wanted. That was LEGO to me as a child. These are just models at this point. Ridiculously expensive models.

I don't know, the appeal is just lost when it's literally just following instructions.

There's this part in the video on the product page....

Spoiler: Probably doesn't really need a spoiler tag

Towards the end, he pushes down on the cart and a mechanism moves it up so that he can remove the cartridge.....

I audibly gasped.

This will be mine. . . probably.

 

[RaptorGTA]

Pretty cool..but not for that price point.

I have a room in my apartment for it. Bought some cool high gloss white IKEA shelving for it. Kinda gives it that plastic sheen / store type of look to it. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kallax-shelf-unit-high-gloss-white-10305741/

 

[Spukc]

[Potato Chip PRO]

I'm a fan of Legos but I'm definitely also not a fan of their prices.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yeah, lol.. you don't get it.

Nope, and I never will

Nah man thats still there. The sets are not eternal to a child. As a parent, i see its exactly the same way as it was when i was a child.
The more stuff changes, the more it stays the same.

damn 300.. put some Zelda though and I might fall :despair yellow guy from mother 3:

 

[bellome]

I love Lego and videogames (NES was my first console ever).

I am going to buy it, wife already warned.

That Mario piece alone will be 100€ worth in no time.

 

[Tarin02543]

LEGO, a toy for rich kids and poor adults.

That TV looks exactly like the one I actually played NES on... so yea, I'm in on this.

Same. That tv hit me in the nostalgia bone. Don’t know if I can spare 230 bucks for it though.

[BobbyColtrane]

Imagine the price if they made the TV to scale? They definitely don't want to shrink the NES.

[Andodalf]

229$ is a much nicer price

 

[Nankatsu]

Neat, but expensive.

 

[jdforge]

Someone is going to mod one of these to be a real NES, aren’t they?

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

It's pretty cool seeing everything in motion after assembly. It would be nice to see other game sets and a Famicom variation. That price needs some adjusting too.

 

[Reallink]

A lot of people have a lot of money and a lot of time.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I walked into a Lego shop once. Them price tags put me off for life.
