That would make sense I don't doubt, but I'm glad we agree that they have to improve the designs, even if they focus on another audience they don't have to make fools of them!

I don't see it that way at all, I partly know what you mean, but I think they are simply focusing on a different audience, possibly factors like playability don't matter (as much) to them, they just w... -

I hope they make more animations like this for product presentations, this is one of the best I've seen in a long time.

Oct 19, 2022 Posted Wed, Oct 19, 2022 12:02 AMIf I remember correctly this was all through a LEGO Ideas challenge, so somehow the team was committed, they were obliged to release a set.Ah I had no idea about that 🤐

Oct 18, 2022 Posted Tue, Oct 18, 2022 9:52 AMHere is an article about it: https://brick.is/blog/post/111/lego-reveals-they-came-close-to-cancelling-21337-table-football-set-due-to-problematic-model-scale Basically, they tried several scales and...Oh I see, interesting, it makes me wonder if using technic parts would have given the board some more robustness, I don't know if they tested that too, because with normal parts it makes sense that it would break when making sudden movements.
But actually this surprises me even more, I mean wasn't playability supposed to be an important factor in the LEGO Ideas review? It's a bit contradictory that if this set didn't comply with that, they still released it 🤷
Edit. I've just seen what the original idea was, quite a change.
I get the feeling that a lot of the pieces could be crossed by the typical technic axles, I'm not sure if the designer took that into account, if even with the use of axles it was ruined then it was a big problem.

No idea, but as you say, a missed opportunity I think the size they've released the set at is unplayable and it's a shame because I think it was potentially one of the best sets/ideas in terms of playability, it reminded me of the line of board games they released a few years ago, imagine if they had made them tiny....

It's pretty damn impressive, I'd honestly buy it if it comes out 🤑

It looks amazing, honestly I was surprised by the release price, it's pretty good, I'm considering buying it on Steam.

I think also the repercussion, Futurama ended back in 2013 maybe is also a factor, among the new generations is not such a popular series (although it is a great series, nothing against it 😅).

Just imagine a LEGO line of busts like this dragon, wow that would be amazing!

I've started watching it not so much for the manga but for the anime which is going super viral lately, what I've seen so far is pretty good.
