I mean, think about it... Lego's new Smart Play thingy is gonna be a total money pit for some fams. The prices are crazy high and not all parents can afford it. And what about the environmental impact? All those tech tags and sensors are just more plastic waste . Not to mention, if it doesn't take off like they hope, they'll be stuck with a bunch of expensive inventory . It's a risk, but at least they're trying to make it fun for kids... I guess
omg, 160 bucks for a Lego set is straight up ridiculous I mean, what even is the point of paying that much for something that's just gonna get broken and replaced by your kid in like, 2 mins? shouldn't it be more like 20-30 bucks or something?
I'm curious about Lego's Smart Play initiative ... they're pushing the boundaries of what toys can do, but are we ready for these prices? $160 is steep for some parents, especially if their little ones might lose or break a piece and want to replace it quickly . It's like having a super cool gadget that's only available on certain budgets . I think they're taking a calculated risk by starting with Star Wars fans, who tend to be more willing to shell out the extra cash for nostalgia and geekiness ... but will other themes and kids' interests be included in the future?
I'm not sure about the prices of these new Smart Play sets... $160 is kinda steep especially for parents who just want their kids to have fun without breaking the bank . I can see how it'd be a challenge for some families, but at the same time, I think Lego's on the right track with this tech-enabled play approach . The possibilities are endless and could really make learning more engaging for kids .
