The hype for this will be unreal. The box alone looks AMAZING. $230. Out August 1. Let's pool our resources together to get this thing. If you are unemployed, I suggest forgoing rent, food or other critical bills and buying this instead.

It’s times like these when it’s good to have a relative that works at LEGO corporate. That discount is fantastic :)

I can't wait to go Grandpa Simpson with this:

"You see back in my day, video games were operated with hand cranks and the winner was whoever could turn the longest. Also video games were called Amusement Tafts, after William Howard Taft who invented the contraption. He sent the first one to Wilheim II, who was so distracted by the thing he stopped paying attention to the news from the Western Front. Won us the war it did!"

This thing looks like it will have way too much input lag. Suggest passing on this one.

I mean I'm 30 and I owned an NES as a kid, so I definitely have nostalgia for the NES and its games. Not sure why poster stringy thinks they are too young lol? You're not too young stringy, you just may not have had the system growing up lol. Did you have another system, or maybe you weren't gaming until older?
 
Nes came out when I was a teen.  Loved the system to bits and still have my original system with it's box and all paperwork and stuff.  But... nah, I don't need this at all.  It does look cool, but I'd rather just hook up an NES classic and play some games that way than blow this much money on legos (and I was big into building with legos).

Nintendo + Lego might be the best mix for loyalist fans who'll buy anything.

This is why I fear I won't be able to get one: It crosses two types of people who both have a strong affinity for the brand (lego/nintendo).

I already think Lego's website will crash on Aug. 1.

 
am I missing something? that doesnt even seem that fun to build lol. Its essentially a rectangular prism. 

Ill take 6.

The TV has some interesting mechanics but it's novelty factor is 11 out of 10. I'm surprised they would have been willing to build/price at such a high price but I guess they are going after the NES Mini crowd that much bigger than anticipated.

 
To add to what I said before, despite my nostalgia for the NES, I have no intention on buying this. I agree that it def has a novelty factor. Initially I figured this would be a playable NES out of the box and I was super interested, but upon learning that's not the case, I receeded into myself lol.
 
I didn't have that kind of T.V. growing up.  Mine had less nobs and didn't have a stand like that. 

Kind of kills the nostalgia for me.  Wish it didn't come with that television and included World 1-2 with Luigi.

 
Does this mean LEGO will now start licensing all things Nintendo like Zelda, etc...?  If so, like starwars, they will make a killing.

 
On topic of Super Mario, A copy of Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. Has broken the World Record for the most ever paid for any video game. The highest-graded copy ever of the 80s classic ever received a winning ok $114,000 in Heritage Auctions' Comics & Comic Art event in Dallas on July 10. Other high-selling games included a 1987 copy of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! ($50,400) and the first sealed copy of Super Mario Bros 3. Which drew a winning bid of $38,400. Also selling was a Sega Pluto-02 console prototype - Sega (C. 1995-1996), which brought a winning bid of $84,000.

You say that like it would be hard to convert this thing into a working system.

Nintendo could have owned this one. Put in a LCD screen instead of that silly crank contraption, put in an NES classic board inside a LEGO compatible mount inside the case, add some real cables/controllers and it would be functional, or be able to build functional controllers. It would have appealed to both LEGO folks and people that missed out on the NES Classic.
