[Leak] LEGO Nintendo Entertaiment System coming August 1st, 229.99€

[raketenrolf]

Wouldn't buy one for full price if it isn't limited. Lego sets can go down on price. Well at least here in Europe.

 

[mf.luder]

Is lego going to give you the ps1 BC that Sony won't?

 

[Kamala]

Now this is more what I had in mind, this looks pretty cool!

 

[shinken]

I'm surprised that people are surprised at the price. Have some of you never seen the price of the Lego Porsche 911 GT RS3 or the Bugatti Chiron for $349.99 and up? The Porsche isn't being made anymore and it's $669.99 on Amazon.

 

[Joedev]

Despite neither of the current products (Super Mario sets and this NES set) really appealing to me, I hope Nintendo and Lego keep working together. If they just made some traditional Mario / Zelda sets, I'd be all over it. So far the gimmicks that they seem to be going for just aren't doing it for me.

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Looks cool 😍

 

[Nida]

This is really cool. If not limited I might be tempted to get it eventually.

And yeah Lego are expensive.

 

[Mandos]

Also for reference this is part of LEGO's 18+ line for mature sophisticated adult collectors(aka we don't want to look silly buying colorful creator and expert boxes but don't want just technic)

 

[Deleted member 27751]

People balking at the price tag not realising that's just Lego pricing in general. Shit is expensive for little plastic bricks.

 

[SanTheSly]

I guess this is probably going to put the kibosh on Retro Power's Lego NES Raspberry Pi cases huh?

 

[mclem]

looks like the screen scrolls, yes. There is enough space behind the TV controls for a wider screen. I don't know if they're crazy enough to have it on some kind of roller for infinite scrolling

I'm sure I've seen an Ideas project that did that previously, so I don't think it's impossible.

 

[Grue]

Nice, a console that comes pre-bricked.

 

[KeRaSh]

Day one... I'm serious.

 

[Mbolibombo]

Super cool.
Also quite the pricetag

 

[Serebii]

Wow that's really cool

I'm getting it

 

[F34R]

Well well.

[eXistor]

Goddammit I hate it because I love it. I don't want it, but I think I need it.

 

[Guaraná]

Price is insane.

not for Lego

 

[TheKeyPit]

People could buy a Switch Lite instead...

 

[Bonejack]

Well well.

Damn, i wonder what could it be!

 

[nekkid]

I'm confused. Is this just a model of a NES or is there a NES emulator in there as well?

 

[ReyVGM]

Anyone that buys this:

Just a model.

 

[panama chief]

fuck me. after spending about $200 on the Votron kit i never thought id see another LEGO set id dump that much money on.....i was wrong.

 

[TheGamingNewsGuy]

Question - do you think they would reveal this in Mini Direct/Direct or annouce it via twitter

 

[Kwigo]

Wouldn't buy one for full price if it isn't limited. Lego sets can go down on price. Well at least here in Europe.

Sure, for stuff nobody buys.
Big sets like this one can be sold for 2x the initial price when it's not being sold anymore.

 

[Novocaine]

Waiting for the inevitable Mario's castle LEGO

 

[Bufbaf]

... I want this

In general, yes. But very rarely for D2C, exclusive or Creator Expert etc. sets like this. From experience: if you want a set like this, buy it. Use VIP points if possible. Those sets are barely 2 years on the market these days.

 

[Chibs]

It's gorgeous!

 

[entremet]

200 bucks?! the heck.

 

[Wilf Netherton]

Bushes are just green clouds.

 

[Punished Dan]

Whew thats expensive.

 

[xyla]

Nice! Would actually consider buying a SNES one, but this one looks pretty amazing already!

 

[Serebii]

200 bucks?! the heck.

Lots of big LEGO sets are like this

 

[Plum]

I'm so glad I didn't waste my VIP points on another set now.

Gonna get this for £30 off day one :)

 

[Quacktion]

So.... does Nintendo just not "get" Lego or was it Lego's idea? Cuz if I was younger all I would want from this collab is... Lego, but with Nintendo characters, not these weird-ass gimmics that I cant put in "the bag" and play around with, like I cant put this giant-ass Mario figure in my Lego Naboo Starfighter.

 

[SuperSah]

no fuckig way

SOLD

 

[tellNoel]

I love how it costs more than the actual NES Classic lol but then again that didnt come with a TV...

 

[Slacker247]

It's Double VIP this week on LEGO store online. Would be nice to go on pre-order this week.

 

[SuperBanana]

I want it so bad but if they start releasing a Snes and N64 too I'll be fucking broke.

 

[Noodle]

But... you could buy a real NES & CRT for a fraction of that.

 

[GattsuSama]

I thought it was a Lego themed Switch but this looks awesome. Might get it.

 

[gnexus]

I've never bought a full fledged LEGO kit like this before. This finally might get me to cave in. It looks awesome

 

[Terraforce]

I like how it's almost as expensive as buying a Switch lol

 

[Winstano]

I'm switching day jobs at the beginning of August, think this might be a celebratory purchase...

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I'm so glad I never cared about legos, just another expensive hobby on top of my other expensive hobbies. Looks cool though.

 

[SuperSah]

No doubt, buying this!

no doubt!!!
