Toy Fair 2010: Day One: Lego, Lego, Lego, Little Darlin'

[RSS FEED]

If you saw a Lego game of chance, what would you do? That's right, you'd tell your slave driving bosses to stick it up their Bionicle and run over to play it. Well, that's exactly what Scott did too.

 

 

You'll find the story of what happened after the jump.

Lego's a growing company, so when we heard they had a dice-based game on the way, we weren't too surprised. After all, we'd long discussed amongst ourselves that the only way that Dungeons and Dragons could possibly grow in their market is to add a little Lego to a twenty sided die. But how could any of us possibly expect to find to find a giant taunting Lego man being used as the game piece?

 

 

One look in the giant Lego man's eye and Scott was hooked. He was going to win whatever it was they were giving away as prizes. This would be his moment. He took the plushy colorful die and gave a heroic roll (see above). He was confident. He felt his position was strong.

 

 

But his opponent was even stronger.

 

 

He gave his best, but he guessed his best wasn't good enough. But thenâ?¦ was it pity? Respect? A binding contract to keep to a pre-determined marketing decision? Whatever it was, the Lego host had something in his drawers, and he was about to give it to Scott.

 

 

A lovely Lego keychain parting gift! Seriously, there were three drawers full of this thing. Waitâ?¦ you thought thatâ?¦ man, that's nasty!
