Like literally you build it, set it on your shelf, and you're done with it. It's not even a toy you can play with, it's just a model that sits on your shelf and costs as much as a video game system. I would figure it would sell a few thousand copies to really hardcore gaming memorabilia collectors and that's it. Now if it had a chipset you laid within the lego build and it actually played Nintendo games that'd be one thing, still way overpriced even with that but it'd be cool to have a working lego NES. But as a lego model that does nothing I can't fathom why this would cost more than a NES mini and why anyone would pay for it. Fanboys like to joke about competitor systems sitting on a shelf collecting dust, but that is literally what this is, and costs the same as an actual video game system. |
People own expensive figurines and other objects to place in the room that you dont exactly "play" with it. Same case as here but you actually build it and have some sort of interactions with it (The TV thing). There is a target audience for this and there is enough of them for lego to make tonnes of $$$$
Pocky Lover Boy!
