Link for those who want to see the official listing.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow, $300

If you dig through the pictures there's a decent bit more to it than just the initial diorama, but still.

Hope the bootleggers do a good job copying it.

Wait. There's bootleg Lego?

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Lego is so old that the patent on lego expired like a decade ago. Now you have alternatives like https://mouldkingcorp.com/

[–] Snoopey@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Damn they have some nice looking "space wars" sets

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wonder how pissed my nephew would be if I started getting him these...

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 9 points 11 months ago

The quality of some of these are way better than mega blocks but still not up to the par of Lego in most cases. In my experience knockoff mini figs are better made than loose bricks.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Could you also share a Zelda?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 10 points 11 months ago

Fine, but only the one.

[–] LostMyMind@mastodon.social 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@SpaceNoodle @Nadaph

Share a zelda? You mean like how Bowser and Mario share Peach?

I mean I guess.......Zelda gets kidnapped just as often as Peach, and yet nobody ever says Ganon and Zelda are willing lovers, but EVERYBODY says it about Peach and Bowser.

Kinda weird, right? IF someone EVER gets kidnapped, its once in a lifetime thing. If they survive, they don't get kidnapped AGAIN.

Certainly not 13 or 16 more times.....

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

Zelda usually doesn't get kidnapped, though. She gets stuck in a refrigerator somewhere.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Personally this set is a little unimpressive/boring. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here cause the initial Mario sets were also lackluster.

[–] LostMyMind@mastodon.social 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That's on par for a set with that many pieces.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

I'm not sure if it's valid anymore (I am far from a brick aficionado but I have friends that are very into it), but the old rule of thumb says $0.10 per piece, which would put this at $250. $50 Nintendo tax doesn't seem out of the question, either.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

But it looks like most of them are the leaves.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I don't disagree. Certainly not worth it at that price point for me.

[–] Huff_Chuggems@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It looks cool, but I'll never get over Lego sticker shock. I guess I've been out of the game too long.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

I know right. For 300 notes, I want a lot more Lego than that.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Looks nice. Me wants!

[–] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Man, I hope they'll make some smaller sets too. These are really cool display pieces, but I don't have the room or willingness to spend that kind of money.
