Gotta say I’m really disappointed with all of the specialty large molded parts. It feels like Nintendo doesn’t understand what makes LEGO special compared to competitor brands and is trying to push them toward the Megablox or COBI direction. These specialty pieces is part of what almost killed LEGO as a company in the early 2000s.

Line must go up. More products must expand. Everything that made company special must be lost in the wash of selling everything to everyone at the same time. There is someone in sales and marketing at Lego (and every other company) telling them they should start selling Lego mattresses, Lego branded milk, Lego firecrackers.

They jammed their funnel into movies, pop culture, what's next teen angst Legos? Midlife comfort Legos?
