Let's discuss this smart brick.

Ahh...that innovation Lego needed for so long...

Lego is already almost dead, the decline initiated once star wars was licensed and accelerated beyond repair as soon as fleshies were created.

Fuck off Frogcet, Everybody is tired of these barely disguised spam threads

Fuck off spammer

It is pretty close. Probably about equal.

I give my kid Lego to get him away from screens. WTF is this shit

>will this thing kill Lego?
I doubt it. Most likely it will be a passing fad that either does well (unlikely) or fails. They probably planned quite a bit for this, much like Dreamzzz and they'll run its course even if it isn't successful.

I don't get what you mean. It just makes noises, right? How is that going to kill LEGO? If you don't want one, don't get one. This reads like an old man yells at clouds thing. Are you just mad because they call it a "smart" brick because you were born in the eighties and you're scared of phones?

Every time Lego tries somethig new, a certain contingent of people in an eternal love/hate relationship with Lego will talk about it as if this is going to either be the only way forward for the company and will be present in every single future set OR is about to flop and bankrupt the Lego Group entirely as if they hadn't learned from Galidor and putting all their eggs in one basket and didn't have a very large product line that can easily take a loss on a failed product launch as they have with Dreamzzzz and whatever the video clip thingie from a few years ago was called.

This time this shit isn't limited to a single line.

>>11611326
>how DARE you imply this is a stupid idea

>>11611482
You didn't explain why you think a programmable brick that lights up and plays sounds is somehow going to kill LEGO.

> Are you just mad because they call it a "smart" brick because you were born in the eighties and you're scared of phones?
People born in the 80s were using phones years before you, zoom zoom. Your generation is largely tech illiterate in fact.

>>11611468
I'm sure it is, just like how minidolls replaced minifigs, AR apps are in every theme and fleshies are in City sets.

So what does it even do? Nobody has explained it yet.

>>11612203
It builds itself.

>>11611326
The problems with it are as follows
>Are the perfect excuse to further raise prices and skimp out on quality/quantity in the areas that actually matter like piece count and printing
>Lego is one of the few toys that are not electronical, is loved for that reason, and Lego themselves have a desire for it to spread to most if not all of its lines like a cancer should it be successful
>We don't know the contents of the battery or if it can be accessed which makes for corrosion and environmental concerns
>The battery labels on the minifigs are fucking ugly as sin and are distracting

>>11612203
I don't think we've got actual official explanations yet. Everyone so far is assuming things like vehicles/ships making shooting noises and characters talking or whatever when interacting with things much like the Mario line.

>We don't know the contents of the battery or if it can be accessed which makes for corrosion and environmental concerns
I'm pretty sure the multi billion follar company thought of everything and all safety concerns, they spend over half a billion dollars on this idea, trust them

>>11611491
NTA but my generation might be the only tech literate generation to exist. The knowledge of being able to resize a PDF was born with and will die with us.

You’ll never know what it was like to turn 16, get your drivers license, and have sex during the 142 days of peak human existence between when Shrek >>11610850
came out and 9/11.

what do you guys guess the price of the smart brick han and greedo set to be like? couple hundred pieces and 50 bucks?

>>11610812 (OP)
Whatever it is, it looks dangerous

>>11613099
>technology is dangetous because...
>it just is ok!
Tech illiterate

We have had toys with electronics for decades and nothing bad happened

>>11613103
You don't understand, the Lego Smart Brick will gain sentience and wipe out humanity with those technic tanks that autists build.

>>11611326
You are the reason you can't get laid. Its not women's fault CADfag

>>11610812 (OP)
Its a GREAT thing but Lego once again fail to make an impact because they will price it ridiculosly.
Remember Vidyo? It would be a huge hit if starter sets costed like 12$ not fucking $20

>>11613099
No it doesn't

>be Lego
>notice that a lot of brick clones are doing light-up bricks to fill in the demand that has been there for ages
>"I know what we can do ! We'll also make an electronic brick with programmable stuff !"
>"like sound !"
Are they actually retarded ?

>>11615845
I'm just waiting for the programmable Smell Brick
