1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040 Obviously, 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:07,040 there's a lot of hype around it. Like, 3 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:09,440 Lego was selling this thing hard. 4 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,120 It's fixing it. 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,280 As a Lego child who grew into a Lego 6 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,400 parent, I kind of have mixed feelings 7 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,640 about Lego, the iconic toy company, 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,480 focused on creativity and an 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,000 imagination, adding smart features to 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,160 some of their sets in the form of a 11 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,640 smart brick. But I can see the appeal of 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,520 a new version of Darth Vader's TIE 13 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,040 Fighter that reacts to how you move and 14 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,160 play thanks to the smart brick, the 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,320 smart tag and a smart Darth Vader. 16 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:44,640 Everything has smart tech in it now. 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000 It's just it's weird and lots of people 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,480 have been talking about this since uh 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,480 LEGO announced it at CES this year. It's 20 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:52,960 just weird to have LEGO, the company 21 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,559 that is all about, you know, like not 22 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,559 needing all that weird bells and 23 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:59,120 whistles to to add this feature. I mean, 24 00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:00,879 I feel like it it's smacks of uh 25 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,160 investor pressure or I don't even know 26 00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:02,960 if they have investors. I think they 27 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,920 must they must. 28 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,760 >> LEGO is private company. 29 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,760 >> Lego is private. So, it's not investor 30 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,680 pressure. It's something some kind of 31 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,560 pressure. Anyway, oh, look at this. So, 32 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,200 so this is the the open box right here. 33 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,360 And here is the smart brick itself. So, 34 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,600 um yeah, it looks like a Lego brick in 35 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,640 two parts. Obviously, we got this kind 36 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:27,600 of transparent thing on top and the 37 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,520 opaque body with the electronics inside. 38 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,200 I don't see any way to like open it cuz 39 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,520 I believe that there is no way to 40 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,720 replace the battery if it if it if it 41 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,040 dies. It's a got a 45 MIA battery that 42 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,280 apparently only lasts 45 minutes and 43 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:47,200 takes a while to charge. Comes with a 44 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,320 USBC toa cable. Interesting. fairly 45 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,640 large uh pad for that little smart 46 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,240 brick. It's it's unclear at the moment 47 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,000 whether you could charge multiple bricks 48 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,399 on this, but it certainly seems like 49 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,560 that should be possible given how large 50 00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,360 this pad is and how small the actual 51 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,960 brick is. Okay. Oh, and it lights up. 52 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,160 You see that? And then when I took it 53 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,280 off, it made a little sound. 54 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,959 Wow. Worth it just for that. You cannot 55 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,040 buy standalone smart bricks at the 56 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,640 moment. They only come in a very limited 57 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,560 number of sets, which are actually quite 58 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:22,480 limited still compared to the 59 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,640 functionality that LEGO was talking 60 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,000 about them having at CES. We'll talk 61 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,640 about that more once we get everything 62 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,319 built, but um yeah, there's a bit of 63 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:32,400 controversy around this right now. 64 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,920 Anyway, we're going to build this now. 65 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,319 And 66 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:39,519 I got I got some Lego cred. I had a big 67 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:42,400 giant bucket of Lego as a child. Our 68 00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,200 Lego pieces at home are organized uh by 69 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,360 color and by size. So like big green 70 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,200 pieces, mediumsiz green pieces, small 71 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,959 green pieces. Okay, so I guess I am a 72 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,959 I'm I am more of a Lego guy than normal 73 00:02:50,959 --> 00:02:54,800 people. Oh, this is a smart play guide. 74 00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:56,480 There's an instruction manual just for 75 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,879 how to do the smart stuff. You do need 76 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,840 an app. We have that set up. Oh, it will 77 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,120 glow green when it's fully charged. It 78 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,519 says right here it's going to take 2 79 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,360 hours to charge the brick. And then the 80 00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:11,879 rest of this book is just all that 81 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,879 stuff. Okay, cool. Let's go. 82 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,080 Man, I got to say, I didn't think I 83 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,720 would ever get to build Lego for my job. 84 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,920 Wish that I wasn't building Lego's most 85 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,920 controversial product ever. 86 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,799 I feel like the building is part of the 87 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:37,280 play. That's what makes Lego so cool is 88 00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:38,879 that you can build any toy you want and 89 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,480 then you can play with the toy. But the 90 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:43,480 building the toy is also really fun. 91 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,400 Oh, smart tag. Okay, it's time to put 92 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:50,480 the smart tag on. It's got a little 93 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,959 picture of the of Darth Vader's tie on 94 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,799 it. It looks like there's very little 95 00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:56,480 electronics or anything in there, 96 00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:58,879 although it it has extra little numbers 97 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,640 that aren't there normally. I actually, 98 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,519 one of the reviews I read of it, too, is 99 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,640 that it it um notably does not sound 100 00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:06,159 like Star Wars. 101 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,599 >> Oh, really? I'll be the judge of that. 102 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:14,239 I'm kind of a Star Wars dork. Or I was 103 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:18,680 before the duck times. Smart tag on. 104 00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:18,680 Okay, back to speed building. 105 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,880 I've never seen whatever piece this is 106 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:32,919 before. Just like a flat paddle. Fun. 107 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,919 I said we cannot go in there. 108 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,280 I have like been 109 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,280 struggling 110 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:48,759 and I appreciate the beauty in the 111 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:48,759 complex system. 112 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,759 I mean, that's the death that's the 113 00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:59,040 argument for the death penalty, but 114 00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:00,400 Okay, we're at the smart brick part. 115 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,320 We're still recording everything, right? 116 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Yeah. Ooh, and it's green. Okay, into 117 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:12,800 the back right on top of the of the 118 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,800 smart tag here as shown. 119 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,800 Whoa, 120 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,320 that didn't sound a ton like what I 121 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,800 remember the Darth Vader. Oh, yeah. It's 122 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,800 reacting, though. 123 00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:34,240 It It seems to know that I'm kind of 124 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,240 turning it, too, cuz it's a different 125 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,919 kind of sound. Okay. Anyway, I kind of 126 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,280 want it to stop doing that now, though. 127 00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:42,280 Okay, so I'll take the brick out. 128 00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:48,639 Okay. And then what does it say? Oh, 129 00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:51,039 that's how you shoot the blasters. Okay. 130 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:54,320 Wait, hold on. There is no back to it. 131 00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:56,800 What? I don't like that. So, you you put 132 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,560 the smart brick in there and now it's 133 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,199 saying that it's it's complete like 134 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,360 that. Like you just there's just a big 135 00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:07,240 hole in the back of the TIE fighter. 136 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,240 We're venting atmosphere. 137 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,160 Is that the only way to turn it off? Is 138 00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:14,400 it to take the smart brick out? That's 139 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,919 weird. I did not connect it to the app, 140 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,240 though. So, let's let's try doing that 141 00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:19,680 first. Add your smart bricks. Oh, okay. 142 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,520 So, you can have two on the charger. 143 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,759 There we go. That answers that question. 144 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Smart brick added. Okay, we got the 145 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,880 smart brick connected. The tie is built 146 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,120 except for the big hole in the back, but 147 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,319 you know, that's what it is.

It's just 206 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,839 got a big chunk missing from the back. 207 00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:39,599 >> Yeah, that's definitely been like one of 208 00:08:37,839 --> 00:08:42,159 the biggest complaints is like it's just 209 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:44,320 the sets just feel incomplete. Like Lego 210 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,640 has tried to incorporate technology into 211 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,600 sets before. You've got like uh Super 212 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,360 Mario, Hidden Side, Video, and those 213 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,399 sets at least like on their own felt 214 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,160 like a complete set. This just feels 215 00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:58,880 like you're missing part of the set and 216 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,040 it's like stupid expensive. 217 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,399 >> Right. Right. It's like I'm paying 70 218 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,680 bucks for 219 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:07,839 >> an incomplete ship. 220 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,360 >> Yeah. And so that you can put the smart 221 00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:10,640 brick in the back. 222 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,680 >> Oh yeah. Cuz you Yeah. You So you've got 223 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,480 Darth Vader in there. So this is one 224 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,080 thing I I have I have I I've heard is um 225 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,800 you've got obviously like the tiles in 226 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160 there or the tile on top. Yeah. that 227 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,160 represents the ship, but then you've 228 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,080 also got Darth Vader in there. And they 229 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,279 are supposed to talk and like work with 230 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,720 each other. So, it's like if you've got 231 00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:28,080 two characters next to each other, they 232 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,519 might talk back and forth. Or if you've 233 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,839 got a character in a ship, you'll have 234 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,480 the ship sounds and that character's 235 00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:34,160 voice. 236 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,519 >> So, I had it I had the smart break in 237 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,360 there and it was making the sounds. I 238 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:38,959 didn't have Darth Vader in there. So, 239 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,720 now Darth Vader's in there. We'll see. 240 00:09:38,959 --> 00:09:43,720 Let's see what he says. 241 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,720 >> Oh, 242 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,360 >> okay. That was at least part of the 243 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,720 Imperial March. So now I haven't done it 244 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,800 yet actually, but you see this little 245 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,600 tab or the red the red trigger thing? 246 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,519 Pull that. 247 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,200 >> Pull that. 248 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:59,519 >> Oh, okay. There we go. 249 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,279 >> And I can verify those are not the those 250 00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:03,360 are not the tie laser sounds. 251 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:06,640 >> No, cuz like what if you have a 252 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,040 lightsaber? Okay. No, 253 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,480 >> hold on. Oh, right. The characters 254 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,440 apparently speak, but they don't speak 255 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,680 English. 256 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,200 >> Yeah, 257 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,480 >> it's just kind of like simlish or 258 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,079 whatever. 259 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,760 Yeah. So, 260 00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:19,600 >> Darth Vader, but like instead of saying 261 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,720 like, "Luke, I am your father." 262 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,720 Spoilers. IT'S LIKE 263 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680 ANYWAY, OH, and you can turn the volume 264 00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:31,360 down. We're at the highest volume, 265 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,160 which, you know, thankfully it's not too 266 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,399 loud or as a parent, I appreciate that 267 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,320 the highest volume is not it's not 268 00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:40,320 earsplittingly loud. That's nice. 269 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Charged, not registered, connected. But 270 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,800 then as soon as you take it off there, 271 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,480 it's so honestly actually at first I was 272 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,000 kind of like wait what? I can't even 273 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,680 connect to it while it's in the toy. But 274 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,600 like now I'm like actually wait this is 275 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:53,600 good because there was concern about 276 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,440 your toys being connected to the cloud 277 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,839 or something and like recording your 278 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,920 like kids voices and stuff. But 279 00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:01,519 >> I mean it's nice to see now that like 280 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,120 okay it is disconnected as soon as you 281 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:04,480 take it off the charger. It's not 282 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,240 connected to anything when it's in 283 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,640 there. It's just only doing local only 284 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720 stuff. 285 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,000 >> Mhm. The one thing that they that does 286 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,399 actually that's that's like sort of a 287 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,079 connection uh is if you have uh multiple 288 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,040 of these bricks and that and they say 289 00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:16,480 you have like another set with like 290 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,079 another ship and that they will talk to 291 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,680 each other. I saw this one video of 292 00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:21,920 somebody trying it and they had uh they 293 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:23,600 had the TIE fighter and the the X-wing 294 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,519 and they were they were shooting at each 295 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,720 other and that um but like the weird 296 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,360 thing was like TIE fighter could be 297 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,040 shooting way over there and it'll still 298 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,800 hit like it just detects that it's like 299 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,000 within range not like it's not 300 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040 directional. It's just like if you're 301 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,600 within I think it's like supposed to be 302 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,720 like 15 feet or something like that. 303 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,640 wheel ship sounds. But 304 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,160 >> what were people expecting that like 305 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,680 it's going to be like perfect like laser 306 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,120 tag? Like you're going to point at that 307 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:46,959 like it's oh you missed and 308 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,200 >> I feel like the way that Lego hyped it 309 00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:50,800 up that's kind of where the expectations 310 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480 were saw. 311 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,079 >> Were you someone who like saw this and 312 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,519 you were like yo this is hype. 313 00:11:54,079 --> 00:11:56,320 >> No, not really. I kind of expected it to 314 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,720 flop. 315 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,240 >> We've only experienced a tiny fraction 316 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680 of what's possible here. That's just 317 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,320 kidding. We've experienced most of it. 318 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:07,839 But I'm going to reinstall Oh, hold on. 319 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,839 We got to put the 320 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,200 bubble. It sounds like a computer. 321 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480 >> There are some characters from what I've 322 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,079 seen that it actually doesn't sound 323 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,519 terrible on. But when you're expecting 324 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:16,720 Darth Vader to come out and you get 325 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,399 that, that sounds like the like the 326 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 probe droid 327 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,720 >> more than Darth Vader. 328 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,079 >> Yeah. Or pro Yeah, the probe droid. But 329 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,200 these do something. These these 330 00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:26,000 interact. 331 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,920 >> Yeah. 332 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,920 >> This is like the repair tool. 333 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,240 >> It's fixing it. 334 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,760 That's That's terrible. 335 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,720 >> Let's Let's put it up here for the mic. 336 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,480 >> It just keeps going. If you hold it, 337 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,880 >> we suffered a lot of damage in the last 338 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,240 battle. 339 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,959 >> It's missing the whole back half of the 340 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,839 ship. Like, 341 00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:50,320 >> in theory, this is the color sensor at 342 00:12:49,839 --> 00:12:52,320 work. 343 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,279 >> There's a color sensor. So, I didn't 344 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:58,160 even think about this, but the the smart 345 00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:00,320 brick has an ambient color sensor, and 346 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,920 that's how it's knowing that this is for 347 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,720 repair because this is a green. This is 348 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:10,360 a normal green Lego piece right here. 349 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:10,360 >> And so we got a green pen. And 350 00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:20,399 >> that's that's wacky. Okay. So now so now 351 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,720 you need uh this is like the refueling 352 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,160 sound. Now in case you all in case you 353 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,560 ever wanted to know how Darth Vader's 354 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,560 tie what it sounds like when they refuel 355 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,560 it. 356 00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:35,920 That's sort of liquid. Sort of. 357 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,160 >> Do they use liquid fuel? Don't they use 358 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,920 like energy cells or something? Should 359 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,639 know this as like a former Star Wars 360 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,399 nerd. 361 00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:46,160 >> I'm wondering if we take it off of the 362 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,600 smart tag and then put the colored items 363 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,279 beside it. What will it do then? 364 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,279 >> No, the color doesn't do anything to it 365 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:54,160 if it's not on the smart tag because 366 00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:57,279 this is like just a generic smart brick 367 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,680 >> and it becomes the the TIE fighter smart 368 00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:01,760 brick when it contacts that that smart 369 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,839 tag. So, like we got the TIE Fighter 370 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,800 here. There's a there's an X-wing. And 371 00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:08,880 these are kind of like mini like that. 372 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,560 That's like the proportions are off on 373 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,880 that. It looks like kind of like a mini 374 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,440 like a like a mobile game version of an 375 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,639 X-wing. 376 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,160 >> Yeah, a lot of people have compared 377 00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:19,680 these to like uh 4 plus or junior sets 378 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,279 in terms of like their scale and that. 379 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,519 >> This I mean, you know, I can see the 380 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:25,279 appeal of this if that works, but not if 381 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:29,760 they're not using the real lightsaber 382 00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:30,399 sounds. Like it's got to be like, 383 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,199 >> you know, 384 00:14:30,399 --> 00:14:32,880 >> that was pretty good. 385 00:14:31,199 --> 00:14:33,600 >> I know. I had to show off my lightsaber 386 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,800 set. 387 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,160 >> There's gonna be a bunch of different 388 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,480 sets with the smart brick. 389 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,240 >> But uh important distinction is so these 390 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,920 ones come with one smart brick. This one 391 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,839 comes with two. These don't come with 392 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,120 any smart brick. They're smart brick 393 00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,880 compatible. 394 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,480 >> That's it. Then like I can only imagine 395 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,519 the number of like grandparents and 396 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 parents like their kids like, "Oh, I 397 00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,240 really want to get the smart brick." And 398 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,680 they see this, they're going to buy it 399 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,320 and their kids going to go, "Where's the 400 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,519 smart brick? 401 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880 >> That's confusing." And like the fact 402 00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,320 that like especially for something as 403 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,600 big as like the Millennium Falcon. Like 404 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,440 this one I think it's I think it's 100 405 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,519 US does not come with a smart brick. You 406 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,639 have to buy at least another $70 set cuz 407 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:06,959 this is the cheapest one that comes with 408 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:09,120 a smart brick and it's 70 bucks, right? 409 00:15:06,959 --> 00:15:11,600 Although if the smart brick came with 410 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,360 everything, then all of the smart sets 411 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,560 would be, you know, prohibitively 412 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,880 expensive. 413 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:20,560 >> And but this is a way to kind of like 414 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,399 roll out the the smart ecosystem with 415 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,240 slightly cheaper sets that just have the 416 00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:25,839 smart tags. But it is gonna be it's 417 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,160 definitely gonna be gonna be confusing 418 00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:30,480 for people buying toys being like is 419 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,279 this gonna is this gonna make the pew 420 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,560 pew and the sounds which I argue they 421 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:36,079 shouldn't even be thinking about anyway 422 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,519 cuz that's not what Lego is all about. 423 00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:39,279 But you know we've talked about that. 424 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,880 >> Yeah. As of right now they don't sell 425 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:42,720 the smart brick on their own. So if you 426 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,800 want to get one for one of these you 427 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,959 have to buy another set. But as for why 428 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,079 they don't sell them separately the only 429 00:15:46,959 --> 00:15:50,000 thing I can think of at the moment is 430 00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:51,120 like this is the first wave. So it's 431 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,440 like maybe that's something they'll 432 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,040 eventually do. I can imagine them being 433 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,360 like, "All right, it's just gonna be the 434 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,680 norm that this set comes with a smart 435 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,120 tag." Because like the smart tag itself 436 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,920 is just this tiny little piece. 437 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,279 >> It's just a tile. 438 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880 >> Like it looks like it barely has any 439 00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,880 electronics in it at all. It's probably 440 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,040 quite cheap to produce as far as far as 441 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,800 like a a smart thing goes. So, you know, 442 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,120 it's probably fine for them to just kind 443 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,959 of throw those in the sets 444 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,839 >> and then start building this ecosystem 445 00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:20,000 so that eventually people have smart 446 00:16:17,839 --> 00:16:21,839 bricks and people have smart tags and 447 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,839 but I again I've made the case that I 448 00:16:21,839 --> 00:16:24,240 don't think like I I don't care about 449 00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:25,839 that. But 450 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,880 >> I don't think it I don't think we need 451 00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:28,880 it, 452 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,320 >> right? Like 453 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,800 >> that's really what it comes back down to 454 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,480 for me. 455 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,920 >> It's all part of like the imagination of 456 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,839 having fun with it. going around making 457 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,320 the the the blaster sounds yourself, 458 00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:40,160 making the ship sounds. Like, what I 459 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,240 like about LEGO as a company is that 460 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,720 they will continually kind of like 461 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,759 explore ideas like this. 462 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,880 >> But I would be lying if I told you that, 463 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:52,959 you know, I would rather have them 464 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,800 instead of doing this, uh, you know, 465 00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:57,600 bring back Bionicle, 466 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,279 >> you cowards. 467 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,720 And not not those weird replacement 468 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:07,760 things that you oh the hero hero 469 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:09,520 factory. No. that. Bionicles. Bring 470 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,079 them back. Do it. So, what do you guys 471 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,480 think of the Lego smart brick and the 472 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:16,160 kind of like weird way that Lego is 473 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,559 rolling it out. Uh, do you have any 474 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,640 sets? Do you plan on buying them? Do you 475 00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:23,039 want to see Robert come back and do more 476 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,160 Lego videos cuz he loves this stuff? 477 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:26,319 Yeah. And if you're looking for 478 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,000 something else to watch, uh, go watch 479 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:33,600 the ShortCircuit about the Star Wars 480 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,600 TV, cuz why not? Love you. Bye.
