dmind Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Ugly thing, probably fun for kids with the app. But hey, got all the Lego trains, so must have one of these as well - for the right price (read: 40-60 percent off) Interesting to see the ramp part on the track, reminds me the old Marklin set I once had.

Foreman Porgy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It’s a train. I’m in for 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think it could look really good with some minor modification.....color scheme and basic shaping is good..... I may get one and attempt to make it look like a sensible train.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrick123 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think all this hidden (crap) might backfire on Lego. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of what lego is essentially about? Lego has defeated many generations of technology and still stayed in the game. Why try and change the game now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get one and attempt to make it look like a sensible train.... But the question is how much of it can you modify and still kept the augmented reality features intact? It'd be pretty straight forward to add a battery box and engine with another car, but if that nerfs the app, then what's the point? If the app is truly sticker based and not shaped based, then it's just a matter of waiting to apply stickers until after modification. I wonder if there's some solid value in those sticker sheets? We might see a rush of part out to sell stickers for MOCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeTexan Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My opinion (Nobody asked) If done well, adds additional value, but will probably limit the future value due to becoming an antiquated app. I like the idea of sticker based. Cross over from set to set? Not a set I would want to hold for an extended time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color schemes, the detail and they definitely look unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
