kumas 91 Posted September 28 I have no idea what Sesame Street is (same as Voltron / Stranger Things for me) and I am not going to buy it unless it is super awesome or part of modulars line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uchūsen_Sagittarius This one I remember from my childhood and would definitely buy a set of or they could do a theme around Studio Ghibli animes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those are our two favorite Studio Ghibli films. Edited September 28 by Chormeister Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can still remember wondering what a trash can was and marvelled that butter could be sold in sticks. Some of the tunes I can still sing (poorly). I liked the pinball counting bit... one two three four five...six seven eight nine ten ...eleven twelve.😊 Do they still use that one? Just read this, thanks for getting that damn song in my head. But yes, as someone else said, this was Electric Company. Reading Rainbow was also in my rotation at this age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keymomachine 214 Posted September 29 Oh, if two people are going to be wrong, I will step in and set the record straight. The Pinball number Count song is from Sesame Street. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Number_Count There is even a very recently created online pinball game for it! https://www.sesamestreet.org/games?id=25653 And Pentatonix came on and sang it with some interstitial songs that are pretty nice as well, my daughter loves it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belac 153 Posted September 29 Well, it's a wonderful tune:). Interesting how many of us who lived it seemed to mistake it for electric company. Very likely a common closer for sesame street I Believe elec. co. followed it. And Ya, nod the reading rainbow:) Not too interested in this sesame street Lego personally to build but good golly could be good for selling. All eyes on it.

The guy should have focused on actually reviewing what is very obviously a very legally-marketed set. Aside from his claims of "this is garbage", "this is trash" and "I don't like it", he does not at all explain WHY it is trash. The only ARGUMENT he really uses is that - from his POV - the manual is too tiny, that's it. The rest is about that he hates everything, never to be explained in any way - super-biased fanboys like him might be the main reason why LEGO is still No.1 in the business despite all their faults in product development, marketing etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KShine 3,336 Posted October 2 This entire review is absurd - So a company makes a legally licensed set, and he is outraged about it??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keymomachine 214 Posted October 2 Woah, yeah, that actually 100% explains why they didn't choose it. That's a pretty great knock off set, the minifigs aren't awesome, but otherwise if it were Lego branded he would probably be screaming about how awesome it is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exracer327 340 Posted October 2 (edited) Kind of makes me wonder what kind of a licensing deal NBC got out of this group as opposed to what LEGO usually does. If they're giving really good deals, LEGO may need to change up their business model. There are groups out there doing military stuff as well. I've been tempted to get a couple for my son who keeps making tanks. LEGO won't do war stuff so it's not like it's competition but somehow I can't bring myself to buy non- LEGO. I realize this is a bit off-topic but I'm not going to start a new thread for this. Curiosity got the better of me and I checked out https://phatmojo.com/. They also have Ducktales, Star Wars, and Marvel listed as licenses but I can't see what they produce under those licenses.

This is the song / video I remember from Elec. Co. I do not know if Sesame Street did the same video or not. Then again, I don't think the song was proprietary so it could have been used by both.

That would be nice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exracer327 340 Posted October 3 That could be a whole series. Mr. Rogers' living room, a trolley set (which I don't think I've seen in LEGO), a castle, tree house, etc. etc. etc. Minifigures all around, incl Mr. Rogers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
