Since it is a slow day:

Feeling like a Halloween build, Hidden side castle was built. Not bad, makes a nice castle playset. Lots of stickers, some are pretty cool like the stained glass. Haven't yet opened the app to unlock and play this set level. at this time only Hidden side played was some of the ghost lab. Its just fine but I build Lego for the build not the apps too much.

Silent Mary new $360. Someone messaged me and offered $300 on ebay. I said no. They asked what is my best price. I told him I was firm on my price that's why I didn't have "accept offers" checked on. One hour later someone else bought the set at full price ($360). Patience wins.

Just an observation after watching the above review. There are pictures for every major missing character inside the build. Including a living space for the count. Why include a space for the count but not the count himself? I really wonder if LEGO is planning a minifigure series to compliment this set. They could do a grover and a super grover, count, guy smiley, a Mr. Hooper, and a bunch more characters that are pictured in this set. And that side with the open pins really does look odd when you're looking at the brownstone straight on. I really do wonder if there will be an expansion or if they just left it for kids to add onto themselves.

Damnit Tom! Always getting in the way.

Interesting theory. It took over a year for the set to go from approved to market. So maybe they spent some time working on minifigs, too. I'd buy the heck out of Super Grover. And Count. You could even do a "Bathtub" Ernie and a Pigeon Handling Bert.

GB @TGT ones again

I can get to it via your link (Thanks!) but no matter how I search I cannot get that listing to show up in search results. Is it suppressed?

you are not talking the same thing

Fair enough, and I mean no offense, but auctionbrokers you said that "apparently Lego has taken a lot of heat from this." Some of that heat was you calling them at least three times to talk about the situation. If nobody ever did that, they wouldn't worry about Amazon and trying to cancel orders that some of us made. This is kindof a theme over the years here. Some resellers can't help themselves, they repeatedly call Lego support or their local store to address their concerns about stock or orders when the better thing is to place your orders and not be real obvious or vocal about it. Don't tip your hand.

What monster over at Lego allowed this set to be number #21324? IT SHOULD BE 21234!!! This explains why the Count isn't in the set, he probably stormed off!

I have somewhat of a review after playing with this (the Starter pack) with my 7-year-old daughter. First of all, straight from her, I asked what she likes about the set, or this 'system'. She said she likes how you can make new challenging levels, you can put the different pieces in whatever places you like, and you get to connect it to your phone or iPad. Kind of generic feedback, but she's also 7. She's one that likes to customize everything in her life so I'm not surprised she likes the power in her hands of making her own levels. She also liked using the iPad for the instructions. I did not like it very much because I felt I was 'faster' than the iPad. I like how in regular instructions I can see about 4 steps in advance (4-up on the page). iPad forces me one page at a time and that slowed me down unnecessarily. Kind of like fixing something that wasn't broken. Regarding gameplay, we challenged each other on who could get the most coins. The fun part is deciding where to allocate your time. Some activities may give you a big 10 coin jackpot and then just give you one at a time, infrequently, for a while. Others give you a higher/faster rate of coins but one at a time. The bigger the set you build the less time you have (it still stays at 60 seconds regardless how many sets you buy). Some of the fun came from saying "I made this level, now you try it". So it's fun individually but playing with a partner is more fun. I don't let her use the cloud on a stick anymore... You're suppose to attach Mario and 'fly' him through the air collecting individual coins but she has one too many times attached him too loosely and Mario has fallen to the wood floor from 3 or 4 feet. That was enough of that, however he has survived any damage from drops. I will say it was much more engaging with the iPad. Yes Mario can funnction on his own and yes he'll show you how many coins you got at the end. That is truly the essence of the game (how many coins can you get before time runs out). Mario only shows you how many coins you got, the iPad goes back and tells the story. It tells you who you stomped on, in what order, and how many coins each were worth before giving your total. After playing WITH the iPad, going back to Mario-only feels very bland and edging towards boring. Somehow hearing the story of what you've done is as rewarding as knowing the total number of coins earned. More iPad feedback. When you buy sets, you can scan them in and your digital Mario "world" grows. So as I scanned in each of the character packs I bought (finally got her all 10), each got an island themed in proper decor (desert, water, etc.). Other than the character packs (which actually are a cheap way to get extra baddies), we only have the starter pack, but my daughter likes growing her digital world quite a bit in addition to rearranging the real-world set. Quality is good but the icons on the two buttons on Mario's back are starting to wear away and it doesn't seem like we've played it that much. Luckily there's only two buttons but still. Overall, I do not plan on buying all of the sets. I might get one or two more of the cheaper sets. Since the amount of time allotted per game remains fixed at 60 seconds, why buy the big Bowser set for $99 other than the fact that it looks cool? My opinion is that the starter set with a few more pieces is sufficient to fill 60 seconds of time. There is no leveling operation, i.e. no level 2, so each 60 stands alone as its own 60 seconds of game play. When she's done having her fun with this set I'll put Mario back on top of my NES and I'll re-collect back the character pack figures, and the rest will go in the generic bin of Lego pieces for future play in normal Lego fashion.

Since the September calendar is out now and doesn't mention this promotion is it safe to say this info was either not accurate or maybe got pushed back? What are the odds of them still doing this promo in September?

Still available at Target.
