Lego and Star Wars have an extended historical past collectively, and it is clear that the connection is as sturdy as ever. I obtained to play with the brand new Lego Star Wars Good Play units and, regardless of being a bit gimmicky, they’re an entire heap of enjoyable.
The X-wing construct was a number of enjoyable, and I did get a kick out of the Good Brick and the noise it makes. As you fly the X-wing round, R2-D2 squeals, and you may shoot lasers on the press of a button.
It does not add any bulk to the construct both, only a easy brick that has a superb quantity and several other accelerometers so as to add to the enjoyable. One of many little buildings that comes within the field is an Empire laser turret that makes crashing sounds if you happen to tip it over. It makes me giggle each time I do it.
The X-wing itself makes use of the brick to nice impact. It makes all of the motion noises as you fly round, however if you happen to press the pink button on prime, it strikes the brick ahead, triggering the accelerometer and making the laser “pew pew” sound. Then, because it strikes again into place, the NFC reads the R2-D2 tag and makes its noises as effectively. It actually does work very effectively.
Total, the $90 price of the X-wing appears like a good deal. The Good Brick is just not tied to the set you’ve gotten, so it may be utilized in different units ultimately, and also you get the X-wing and three mini units to play with, too. Plus R2-D2, Leia and Luke minifigs that every one make enjoyable noises after they’re close to the brick.
