Unfortunately, the press release states that there won't be traditional sets. Bummer

Seems cool as a toy, but would've prefered regular sets. Let's hope there's a minifig collection as rumored

I think i have to text the Mrs to make sure our youngest two won't see this stuff for some time now ... but i think this could be a neat christmas present for them. ^^

Suitable for the target market they're aiming for (post-Duplo age), but they really didn't have to go with that ugly square head design.

Not a big fan of the weird look, they basically look nothing like real Legos. Looks more like a cheap lego ripoff to be honest.

Guessed it wasn't regular sets based on the teaser. This is cooler than Duplo at least, and if it does well there might be more traditional stuff in the future, who knows.

Honestly this is a massive disappointment to me, speaking as someone who loves Legos and has a six year old daughter who adores Mario. I was really hoping for some larger, more traditional style sets that recreated beloved areas and setpieces from the Mario universe.

A lego set I'm interested in that may not cost $600??

My daughters would love this...jumping around and actually collecting "coins", plus all the contextual sound is cool.

I'm very pleased this isn't a bunch of pricey sets like the Disney £350 castle. My son will love building different courses with this
