Cute.

So these appear to be actual Lego sets, not a game like Lego Star Wars, Lego Marvel or whatever. I’d love to see a Nintendo-platform Lego Animal Crossing game.

I thought it was a game and was so exited! I really love Lego games

Endless Legos... My initial thought was a video game, also. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t see Cherry. No Cherry, none of my money that simple. Cherry is the best neighbor, and Tiffany is the second best neighbor. I will die on this hill.

I'm sorry your furry waifu isn't included, King.

Tiffany's ears are cigarettes.

Thus she is not in the top 10.

Heading made me think it was an Animal Crossing like game, by Lego. I was disappointed.

The set looks great though, would love to get it.

If they didn't have so much branded bullshit maybe their sets would be affordable.

Harry Potter and St@r W@rz ruined their Castle and Space sets.

Having the Star Wars license is what saved the company.

@MajesticSloth Lego Bionicle is what saved the company. Look it up. It’s a fascinating story actually.

Ruining the product to save the company.

What is it like being so confident yet so incredibly wrong?

The pre-HP and pre-SW Lego Castle and Space sets had more pieces and better designs. They were superior and more dynamic sets.

There are far better sets than there were prior to that. Look at all the massive sets now. Lego ideas. Botanical. Even remakes of old sets, I don't know what you are on but Lego is better now than ever.

You're calling Star Wars and Harry Potter the "new thing"?

How did they ruin the product with Star Wars sets?

I have non-licensed Lego sets from 1995 that cost $0.24 per brick at the time (inflation adjusted) while currently most comparable sets like City and the like are around $0.10 per brick.
