Oh, fark me.

I certainly hope this means one of those Traveler's Tales games are in the works too.

That is nice, but wake me went it's LEGO Star Trek.

*shakes head*

This was cool last month.

And the saving of money for teh Barad-dur and Minas Tirith sets starts..now.

Grand Architect: That is nice, but wake me wentwhen it's LEGO Star Trek.

Oh fark me, I suck at proofreading again!

Oh hey guys.

What's going on in this thread?

whar LEGO X-Men, whar?!??!!?!

/really, whar?

Great my niece already lvoes the Harry Potter and Star wars Lego sets. Guess I will have to buy her these too. Im such a sucker

Parallax: You'll have to settle for Mega Block Star Trek sets.

(hotlinked, with extra meh included)

Yeah Mega Blocks suck, so I've just about given up on a good Star Trek set.

COME AT ME BRO!

akula:
You know, a Lego Star Trek game would also be a real hoot.

OKI, you win the price for being the first to be unable to write LEGO.

Now for you tries to make LEGO plural.

mark.jms: Oh, fark me.

Just picked up all 4 Heroica sets yesterday; very awesome :)

I'm looking through my old 1st Ed D&D modules, figuring out how much it would cost to buy enough loose bricks and bits to make dungeon or cavern floorplans.

I've been trying to convince my group to adopt LEGO blocks for miniatures for a while now.

Eddy Gurge: This is going to get expensive for me...

Some leaked pics? (new window)

Looks like castle LEGO, with a few new faces. Pass

I haven't purchased any LEGOs since the '80s. Do you think these sets are backwards compatible?

LEGO people can't even wear rings. That's just silly.

Want? Pfff. Lego stopped being cool, like, 15 years ago when they sold out. The pirate set became Pirates of the Caribbean. The castle set became the Lord of the Rings set, or Harry Potter. Space sets became Star Wars sets. I could go on.

I think that really cheapened their product. Metaphorically. Because it really jacked up the literal prices.

TT Lego LOTR game? Sure, fine. My kids would have no clue, though, and the peter jackson movies are overrated, imo.

I still wish bethesda could have done the sandbox rpg thing with the star trek license.

/like skyrim, but star trek...

Fark yeah! I hope they make a Lego LOTR video game too.

Honest Bender: Want? Pfff. Lego stopped being cool, like, 15 years ago when they sold out. The pirate set became Pirates of the Caribbean. The castle set became the Lord of the Rings set, or Harry Potter. Space sets became Star Wars sets. I could go on.

LEGO blocks go for about 10 cents a block on average. I just got the VW Camper set at ~140$ (including tax and shipping), it has 1332 blocks. The license fee will push up set costs but are more likely to increase sells for LEGO as well. And it's not like City, Kingdoms, Space, etc etc product lines just got dumped, you can still get great set for these like Kingdoms Joust (NEW).

Also the Star Wars sets are awesome. Like the new Super Star Destroyer or the discontinued Millennium Falcon that was ~450$. Sure that cost jumped a little (the SSD is ~400$ with 3000+ pieces) but that jump is not for all LEGO product lines just the licensed ones.

Yes, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was ten years ago...

Oh God, really?

/so old

I remember back when Lego was a toy for your imagination and not just an expensive model building kit.

Santa brought Heroica for my daughter this year - it does a very good job of introducing most pen+paper RPG concepts.

yeah, I immediately hoped this meant a Lego Lord of the Rings game; they're big on trilogies, and this would be perfect. I might actually buy some of the sets though, as well

RatMaster999: I haven't purchased any LEGOs since the '80s. Do you think these sets are backwards compatible?

Seriously?

I'm fairly certain that every single block is compatible with every single other block ever produced... ever.

/ever

nerdgasm? do people even know what games nerds play or does hipster nostalgia = nerd now?

Hebalo: zez: I remember back when Lego was a toy for your imagination and not just an expensive model building kit.

Oh, so you remember.... now? None of your precious childhood blocks are gone. You can still buy block sets, or bulk blocks.

Where? Everyplace I look has the stupid Harry Potter sets. My boys would love a big bucket of blocks.

Mega Blocks are the Dane Cook of building block toys.

Thanks! It was driving me crazy walking through the stores and not finding any.

/finally found the boys some straight hot wheels track last year

Yeah.. I remember when I saw the first Gay Hot Wheels set. A little part of my childhood died right then and there.

Will they have this set?

Yes. My son has some Lego bricks that are probably from the 70s

Subby is a total nerd.

This... I could go for this too:

I used to work at a Lego brand retail store (the lego stores you see in malls with retina damaging yellow interiors) and there was a company internal site that we could for some reason access not just on the office computer, but on the registers out on the floor too. Among other things you could find, there were previews of upcoming sets, often with images. You could see stuff several months in advance, almost always before it was leaked to some fan site. It was really pretty cool. The LOTR stuff is either up there now or will be soon, and I'm a bit bummed I won't get to see it before everyone else. Then I remember why I quit, and I don't mind waiting.

I'd heard about this several months ago from a friend of mine who is a friend of someone in the know. I wasn't supposed to know (nor were they) but they knew how much of a Tolkien nut I am and told me. Managed not to tell anyone, not that I had any proof.
/csb I guess

My daughter and I play Heroica all the time.

We have all 4 sets now. I bought wadurk and draida as soon as they came out, then fortaan, and just got nathuz for xmas.

Sometimes we just play one set. Sometimes we link the entire thing together.

It's a very good little game.

/the yellow barbarian guy sucks tho, and the wizard guy is a little overpowered
