In a great move Lego and Nintendo are soon set to reveal Lego Mario: Wave 03 planned for Summer 2021 and a new update for the existing starter set's Mario figure has started it asking for Luigi...
We enjoyed the first ep of Lego Masters USA. The format is a little ott and some of the peeps on there are a little too effervescent for their own good ... but the quality of the building is good ... loved the theme park rides and the park as a whole coming together. Great to have expert designer Jamie Berard on the show too ... I love some of the sets/series he's been behind.
Like clockwork the Lego Luigi Starter Set has leaked:
I think now this third wave is hitting my main criticism would be how samey the products are. Other than Luigi there seems to be less and less unique per set, Series 2 was the same as well. The omission of doing Luigi's Mansion as well...
Yep, the more time passes the more unsuited for play we've found the sets. They're great at first but for the most part end up like a flimsy toy because there's little creative scope to them but they're not sturdy enough for normal play. It would have been nice if there was a side line of Mario with Mario themed bricks in bulk etc so kids could just mix, match and build Mario creations instead of these level based designs (plus had nicer minifigs)
Its a shame as the idea is good but not being able to move the thing without it breaking into small pieces is a shame. It could easily have been constructed with stronger pieces so it's a profit decision for sure.
There's some really nice designs but Lego need to filter projects much stronger. There's way too much repetition both within the same selection and with past ones as well.
I was buying a new headset for one of the boys in GAME last week and clocked Ecto 1 behind the counter. I had a ponder then rocked up today with a few trades. Haven’t bought any Lego for a while so looking forward to building.
There are some brilliant submissions ... Jazz Quartet is still my fave
the Metroid ship looks cool, as dose the post office, and i really like the train tunnel book ends, a lot of the licensed stuff is not great, the Simpsons feels like its had its day and flash in the pan stuff like Among Us looks unweidley and expensive. their seems to be far to many castles and we kind of know their not gonna get through as they did the Medieval workshop last year and we are getting a creator 3 in one castle this summer so i doubt they would over saturate their own lines.
