WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.040
Obviously,

00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:07.040
there's a lot of hype around it. Like,

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:09.440
Lego was selling this thing hard.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.120
It's fixing it.

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.280
As a Lego child who grew into a Lego

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:18.400
parent, I kind of have mixed feelings

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.640
about Lego, the iconic toy company,

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:24.480
focused on creativity and an

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.000
imagination, adding smart features to

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.160
some of their sets in the form of a

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.640
smart brick. But I can see the appeal of

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:33.520
a new version of Darth Vader's TIE

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.040
Fighter that reacts to how you move and

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:40.160
play thanks to the smart brick, the

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:42.320
smart tag and a smart Darth Vader.

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:44.640
Everything has smart tech in it now.

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.000
It's just it's weird and lots of people

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.480
have been talking about this since uh

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.480
LEGO announced it at CES this year. It's

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:52.960
just weird to have LEGO, the company

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:54.559
that is all about, you know, like not

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.559
needing all that weird bells and

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:59.120
whistles to to add this feature. I mean,

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:00.879
I feel like it it's smacks of uh

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:02.160
investor pressure or I don't even know

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:02.960
if they have investors. I think they

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:03.920
must they must.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.760
>> LEGO is private company.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.760
>> Lego is private. So, it's not investor

00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.680
pressure. It's something some kind of

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.560
pressure. Anyway, oh, look at this. So,

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.200
so this is the the open box right here.

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:19.360
And here is the smart brick itself. So,

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.600
um yeah, it looks like a Lego brick in

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:24.640
two parts. Obviously, we got this kind

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:27.600
of transparent thing on top and the

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:31.520
opaque body with the electronics inside.

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:33.200
I don't see any way to like open it cuz

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:35.520
I believe that there is no way to

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:38.720
replace the battery if it if it if it

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.040
dies. It's a got a 45 MIA battery that

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:43.280
apparently only lasts 45 minutes and

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.200
takes a while to charge. Comes with a

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.320
USBC toa cable. Interesting. fairly

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:52.640
large uh pad for that little smart

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:54.240
brick. It's it's unclear at the moment

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.000
whether you could charge multiple bricks

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.399
on this, but it certainly seems like

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.560
that should be possible given how large

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.360
this pad is and how small the actual

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.960
brick is. Okay. Oh, and it lights up.

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:08.160
You see that? And then when I took it

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:11.280
off, it made a little sound.

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:12.959
Wow. Worth it just for that. You cannot

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.040
buy standalone smart bricks at the

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:18.640
moment. They only come in a very limited

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.560
number of sets, which are actually quite

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:22.480
limited still compared to the

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.640
functionality that LEGO was talking

00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:26.000
about them having at CES. We'll talk

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:28.640
about that more once we get everything

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.319
built, but um yeah, there's a bit of

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:32.400
controversy around this right now.

00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.920
Anyway, we're going to build this now.

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.319
And

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:39.519
I got I got some Lego cred. I had a big

00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.400
giant bucket of Lego as a child. Our

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.200
Lego pieces at home are organized uh by

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:47.360
color and by size. So like big green

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.200
pieces, mediumsiz green pieces, small

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.959
green pieces. Okay, so I guess I am a

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:52.959
I'm I am more of a Lego guy than normal

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:54.800
people. Oh, this is a smart play guide.

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:56.480
There's an instruction manual just for

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.879
how to do the smart stuff. You do need

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:01.840
an app. We have that set up. Oh, it will

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.120
glow green when it's fully charged. It

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.519
says right here it's going to take 2

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:07.360
hours to charge the brick. And then the

00:03:05.519 --> 00:03:11.879
rest of this book is just all that

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.879
stuff. Okay, cool. Let's go.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.080
Man, I got to say, I didn't think I

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.720
would ever get to build Lego for my job.

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:26.920
Wish that I wasn't building Lego's most

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:26.920
controversial product ever.

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:34.799
I feel like the building is part of the

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:37.280
play. That's what makes Lego so cool is

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:38.879
that you can build any toy you want and

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:43.480
then you can play with the toy. But the

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.480
building the toy is also really fun.

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:48.400
Oh, smart tag. Okay, it's time to put

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:50.480
the smart tag on. It's got a little

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.959
picture of the of Darth Vader's tie on

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:54.799
it. It looks like there's very little

00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:56.480
electronics or anything in there,

00:03:54.799 --> 00:03:58.879
although it it has extra little numbers

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:00.640
that aren't there normally. I actually,

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.519
one of the reviews I read of it, too, is

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:04.640
that it it um notably does not sound

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:06.159
like Star Wars.

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:09.599
>> Oh, really? I'll be the judge of that.

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:14.239
I'm kind of a Star Wars dork. Or I was

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:18.680
before the duck times. Smart tag on.

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:18.680
Okay, back to speed building.

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.880
I've never seen whatever piece this is

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:32.919
before. Just like a flat paddle. Fun.

00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:32.919
I said we cannot go in there.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.280
I have like been

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:40.280
struggling

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.759
and I appreciate the beauty in the

00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.759
complex system.

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.759
I mean, that's the death that's the

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:59.040
argument for the death penalty, but

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.400
Okay, we're at the smart brick part.

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.320
We're still recording everything, right?

00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:09.120
Yeah. Ooh, and it's green. Okay, into

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:12.800
the back right on top of the of the

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:15.800
smart tag here as shown.

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.800
Whoa,

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.320
that didn't sound a ton like what I

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.800
remember the Darth Vader. Oh, yeah. It's

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:25.800
reacting, though.

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:34.240
It It seems to know that I'm kind of

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:36.240
turning it, too, cuz it's a different

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.919
kind of sound. Okay. Anyway, I kind of

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.280
want it to stop doing that now, though.

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:42.280
Okay, so I'll take the brick out.

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:48.639
Okay. And then what does it say? Oh,

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:51.039
that's how you shoot the blasters. Okay.

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:54.320
Wait, hold on. There is no back to it.

00:05:51.039 --> 00:05:56.800
What? I don't like that. So, you you put

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:58.560
the smart brick in there and now it's

00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:01.199
saying that it's it's complete like

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.360
that. Like you just there's just a big

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:07.240
hole in the back of the TIE fighter.

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.240
We're venting atmosphere.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.160
Is that the only way to turn it off? Is

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:14.400
it to take the smart brick out? That's

00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.919
weird. I did not connect it to the app,

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.240
though. So, let's let's try doing that

00:06:15.919 --> 00:06:19.680
first. Add your smart bricks. Oh, okay.

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.520
So, you can have two on the charger.

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.759
There we go. That answers that question.

00:06:21.520 --> 00:06:26.800
Smart brick added. Okay, we got the

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.880
smart brick connected. The tie is built

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:31.120
except for the big hole in the back, but

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:34.319
you know, that's what it is. And Brad,

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.840
you finished building the other the the

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.479
other parts that do have some

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:40.639
interactivity with the whole system. and

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:43.520
we will figure out how the whole

00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:47.120
experience is enhanced

00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:48.800

>> hello there. Were you in there the whole

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.680
time?

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:33.680
>> Yeah, I had some snacks and

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.160
Um, Robert,

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.120
>> yes,

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.919
>> you're a Lego you're a Lego uh

00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.199
>> big Lego fan.

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:40.479
>> So, what do you know about the smart

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:43.680
brick? First of all,

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:44.319
>> I've heard bits and pieces. Um, I've I

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.000
heard what

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.880
>> pieces.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.400
No, I've heard little bits about it. Um,

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:51.840
I heard there's obviously there's a lot

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:54.479
of hype around it, like Lego was selling

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:58.000
this thing hard and then it kind of came

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:00.479
out and everybody went, "That's it."

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.639
>> Okay. See, I I haven't paid attention to

00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:04.160
it since CES when they announced it.

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.319
>> Yeah, there was obviously CES and then

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.840
they had a bunch of uh like content

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.520
creators promoting it. They had a bunch

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:12.720
of like celebrities like they had

00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:14.720
Anthony Daniels uh who played C3PO uh in

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:17.520
a promo for it and then it was just like

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:20.000
it's here and then that was it.

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:22.639
>> Okay. So, it's not really up to snuff of

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.319
what uh what was expected like uh even

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.800
just like the sounds that this thing is

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.680
supposed to make just sound terrible.

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.759
Have you heard it yet?

00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.680
>> Yeah. So we did. So this is number one

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.760
thing that was weird is that this is

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.479
this is the complete build. It's just

00:08:33.760 --> 00:08:37.839
got a big chunk missing from the back.

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:39.599
>> Yeah, that's definitely been like one of

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:42.159
the biggest complaints is like it's just

00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:44.320
the sets just feel incomplete. Like Lego

00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.640
has tried to incorporate technology into

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:49.600
sets before. You've got like uh Super

00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:51.360
Mario, Hidden Side, Video, and those

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.399
sets at least like on their own felt

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.160
like a complete set. This just feels

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.880
like you're missing part of the set and

00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.040
it's like stupid expensive.

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:02.399
>> Right. Right. It's like I'm paying 70

00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:03.680
bucks for

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.839
>> an incomplete ship.

00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:09.360
>> Yeah. And so that you can put the smart

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:10.640
brick in the back.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.680
>> Oh yeah. Cuz you Yeah. You So you've got

00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:14.480
Darth Vader in there. So this is one

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:16.080
thing I I have I have I I've heard is um

00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.800
you've got obviously like the tiles in

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.160
there or the tile on top. Yeah. that

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:22.160
represents the ship, but then you've

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:24.080
also got Darth Vader in there. And they

00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:25.279
are supposed to talk and like work with

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.720
each other. So, it's like if you've got

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.080
two characters next to each other, they

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.519
might talk back and forth. Or if you've

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.839
got a character in a ship, you'll have

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.480
the ship sounds and that character's

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:34.160
voice.

00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.519
>> So, I had it I had the smart break in

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:37.360
there and it was making the sounds. I

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.959
didn't have Darth Vader in there. So,

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.720
now Darth Vader's in there. We'll see.

00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:43.720
Let's see what he says.

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.720
>> Oh,

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.360
>> okay. That was at least part of the

00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:50.720
Imperial March. So now I haven't done it

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:52.800
yet actually, but you see this little

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.600
tab or the red the red trigger thing?

00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:55.519
Pull that.

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.200
>> Pull that.

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.519
>> Oh, okay. There we go.

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.279
>> And I can verify those are not the those

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.360
are not the tie laser sounds.

00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.640
>> No, cuz like what if you have a

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.040
lightsaber? Okay. No,

00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:10.480
>> hold on. Oh, right. The characters

00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:11.440
apparently speak, but they don't speak

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.680
English.

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.200
>> Yeah,

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:14.480
>> it's just kind of like simlish or

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.079
whatever.

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.760
Yeah. So,

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:19.600
>> Darth Vader, but like instead of saying

00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:23.720
like, "Luke, I am your father."

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.720
Spoilers. IT'S LIKE

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.680
ANYWAY, OH, and you can turn the volume

00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:31.360
down. We're at the highest volume,

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:34.160
which, you know, thankfully it's not too

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:36.399
loud or as a parent, I appreciate that

00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:38.320
the highest volume is not it's not

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.320
earsplittingly loud. That's nice.

00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.760
Charged, not registered, connected. But

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.800
then as soon as you take it off there,

00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:46.480
it's so honestly actually at first I was

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:48.000
kind of like wait what? I can't even

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.680
connect to it while it's in the toy. But

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.600
like now I'm like actually wait this is

00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:53.600
good because there was concern about

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.440
your toys being connected to the cloud

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.839
or something and like recording your

00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:59.920
like kids voices and stuff. But

00:10:57.839 --> 00:11:01.519
>> I mean it's nice to see now that like

00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:03.120
okay it is disconnected as soon as you

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.480
take it off the charger. It's not

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.240
connected to anything when it's in

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.640
there. It's just only doing local only

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.720
stuff.

00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:10.000
>> Mhm. The one thing that they that does

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.399
actually that's that's like sort of a

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.079
connection uh is if you have uh multiple

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.040
of these bricks and that and they say

00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:16.480
you have like another set with like

00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:18.079
another ship and that they will talk to

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.680
each other. I saw this one video of

00:11:18.079 --> 00:11:21.920
somebody trying it and they had uh they

00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:23.600
had the TIE fighter and the the X-wing

00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:25.519
and they were they were shooting at each

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.720
other and that um but like the weird

00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:29.360
thing was like TIE fighter could be

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.040
shooting way over there and it'll still

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.800
hit like it just detects that it's like

00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:34.000
within range not like it's not

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:35.040
directional. It's just like if you're

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.600
within I think it's like supposed to be

00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:38.720
like 15 feet or something like that.

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.640
wheel ship sounds. But

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:42.160
>> what were people expecting that like

00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:43.680
it's going to be like perfect like laser

00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:45.120
tag? Like you're going to point at that

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:46.959
like it's oh you missed and

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.200
>> I feel like the way that Lego hyped it

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:50.800
up that's kind of where the expectations

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.480
were saw.

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:54.079
>> Were you someone who like saw this and

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.519
you were like yo this is hype.

00:11:54.079 --> 00:11:56.320
>> No, not really. I kind of expected it to

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.720
flop.

00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.240
>> We've only experienced a tiny fraction

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.680
of what's possible here. That's just

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:04.320
kidding. We've experienced most of it.

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:07.839
But I'm going to reinstall Oh, hold on.

00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.839
We got to put the

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.200
bubble. It sounds like a computer.

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.480
>> There are some characters from what I've

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.079
seen that it actually doesn't sound

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.519
terrible on. But when you're expecting

00:12:14.079 --> 00:12:16.720
Darth Vader to come out and you get

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.399
that, that sounds like the like the

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.600
probe droid

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.720
>> more than Darth Vader.

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:24.079
>> Yeah. Or pro Yeah, the probe droid. But

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.200
these do something. These these

00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:26.000
interact.

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:30.920
>> Yeah.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.920
>> This is like the repair tool.

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.240
>> It's fixing it.

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.760
That's That's terrible.

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:42.720
>> Let's Let's put it up here for the mic.

00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:44.480
>> It just keeps going. If you hold it,

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.880
>> we suffered a lot of damage in the last

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.240
battle.

00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:46.959
>> It's missing the whole back half of the

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.839
ship. Like,

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:50.320
>> in theory, this is the color sensor at

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:52.320
work.

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:55.279
>> There's a color sensor. So, I didn't

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.160
even think about this, but the the smart

00:12:55.279 --> 00:13:00.320
brick has an ambient color sensor, and

00:12:58.160 --> 00:13:01.920
that's how it's knowing that this is for

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.720
repair because this is a green. This is

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:10.360
a normal green Lego piece right here.

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.360
>> And so we got a green pen. And

00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:20.399
>> that's that's wacky. Okay. So now so now

00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.720
you need uh this is like the refueling

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.160
sound. Now in case you all in case you

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.560
ever wanted to know how Darth Vader's

00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:29.560
tie what it sounds like when they refuel

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:29.560
it.

00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:35.920
That's sort of liquid. Sort of.

00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.160
>> Do they use liquid fuel? Don't they use

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:39.920
like energy cells or something? Should

00:13:38.160 --> 00:13:40.639
know this as like a former Star Wars

00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:44.399
nerd.

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:46.160
>> I'm wondering if we take it off of the

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.600
smart tag and then put the colored items

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:49.279
beside it. What will it do then?

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:51.279
>> No, the color doesn't do anything to it

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:54.160
if it's not on the smart tag because

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:57.279
this is like just a generic smart brick

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:59.680
>> and it becomes the the TIE fighter smart

00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:01.760
brick when it contacts that that smart

00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:03.839
tag. So, like we got the TIE Fighter

00:14:01.760 --> 00:14:06.800
here. There's a there's an X-wing. And

00:14:03.839 --> 00:14:08.880
these are kind of like mini like that.

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:10.560
That's like the proportions are off on

00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:12.880
that. It looks like kind of like a mini

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:13.440
like a like a mobile game version of an

00:14:12.880 --> 00:14:14.639
X-wing.

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.160
>> Yeah, a lot of people have compared

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:19.680
these to like uh 4 plus or junior sets

00:14:18.160 --> 00:14:21.279
in terms of like their scale and that.

00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:23.519
>> This I mean, you know, I can see the

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:25.279
appeal of this if that works, but not if

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:29.760
they're not using the real lightsaber

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:30.399
sounds. Like it's got to be like,

00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:31.199
>> you know,

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.880
>> that was pretty good.

00:14:31.199 --> 00:14:33.600
>> I know. I had to show off my lightsaber

00:14:32.880 --> 00:14:34.800
set.

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.160
>> There's gonna be a bunch of different

00:14:34.800 --> 00:14:38.480
sets with the smart brick.

00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:40.240
>> But uh important distinction is so these

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:41.920
ones come with one smart brick. This one

00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.839
comes with two. These don't come with

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:45.120
any smart brick. They're smart brick

00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:46.880
compatible.

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.480
>> That's it. Then like I can only imagine

00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:49.519
the number of like grandparents and

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.880
parents like their kids like, "Oh, I

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.240
really want to get the smart brick." And

00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:53.680
they see this, they're going to buy it

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.320
and their kids going to go, "Where's the

00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:55.519
smart brick?

00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.880
>> That's confusing." And like the fact

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.320
that like especially for something as

00:14:56.880 --> 00:14:59.600
big as like the Millennium Falcon. Like

00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.440
this one I think it's I think it's 100

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.519
US does not come with a smart brick. You

00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.639
have to buy at least another $70 set cuz

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.959
this is the cheapest one that comes with

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:09.120
a smart brick and it's 70 bucks, right?

00:15:06.959 --> 00:15:11.600
Although if the smart brick came with

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.360
everything, then all of the smart sets

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.560
would be, you know, prohibitively

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.880
expensive.

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:20.560
>> And but this is a way to kind of like

00:15:16.880 --> 00:15:22.399
roll out the the smart ecosystem with

00:15:20.560 --> 00:15:24.240
slightly cheaper sets that just have the

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.839
smart tags. But it is gonna be it's

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.160
definitely gonna be gonna be confusing

00:15:25.839 --> 00:15:30.480
for people buying toys being like is

00:15:28.160 --> 00:15:33.279
this gonna is this gonna make the pew

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:34.560
pew and the sounds which I argue they

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.079
shouldn't even be thinking about anyway

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:37.519
cuz that's not what Lego is all about.

00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:39.279
But you know we've talked about that.

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:40.880
>> Yeah. As of right now they don't sell

00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.720
the smart brick on their own. So if you

00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:44.800
want to get one for one of these you

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:46.959
have to buy another set. But as for why

00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:48.079
they don't sell them separately the only

00:15:46.959 --> 00:15:50.000
thing I can think of at the moment is

00:15:48.079 --> 00:15:51.120
like this is the first wave. So it's

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.440
like maybe that's something they'll

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.040
eventually do. I can imagine them being

00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.360
like, "All right, it's just gonna be the

00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:59.680
norm that this set comes with a smart

00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.120
tag." Because like the smart tag itself

00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:01.920
is just this tiny little piece.

00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:03.279
>> It's just a tile.

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:04.880
>> Like it looks like it barely has any

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.880
electronics in it at all. It's probably

00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:09.040
quite cheap to produce as far as far as

00:16:06.880 --> 00:16:10.800
like a a smart thing goes. So, you know,

00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:13.120
it's probably fine for them to just kind

00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:14.959
of throw those in the sets

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.839
>> and then start building this ecosystem

00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:20.000
so that eventually people have smart

00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:21.839
bricks and people have smart tags and

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.839
but I again I've made the case that I

00:16:21.839 --> 00:16:24.240
don't think like I I don't care about

00:16:23.839 --> 00:16:25.839
that. But

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.880
>> I don't think it I don't think we need

00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:28.880
it,

00:16:26.880 --> 00:16:30.320
>> right? Like

00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:30.800
>> that's really what it comes back down to

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.480
for me.

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:33.920
>> It's all part of like the imagination of

00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.839
having fun with it. going around making

00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:38.320
the the the blaster sounds yourself,

00:16:35.839 --> 00:16:40.160
making the ship sounds. Like, what I

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.240
like about LEGO as a company is that

00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:44.720
they will continually kind of like

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.759
explore ideas like this.

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:50.880
>> But I would be lying if I told you that,

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:52.959
you know, I would rather have them

00:16:50.880 --> 00:16:54.800
instead of doing this, uh, you know,

00:16:52.959 --> 00:16:57.600
bring back Bionicle,

00:16:54.800 --> 00:16:59.279
>> you cowards.

00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.720
And not not those weird replacement

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:07.760
things that you oh the hero hero

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:09.520
factory. No. that. Bionicles. Bring

00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:12.079
them back. Do it. So, what do you guys

00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:14.480
think of the Lego smart brick and the

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.160
kind of like weird way that Lego is

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.559
rolling it out. Uh, do you have any

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.640
sets? Do you plan on buying them? Do you

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:23.039
want to see Robert come back and do more

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:24.160
Lego videos cuz he loves this stuff?

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.319
Yeah. And if you're looking for

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.000
something else to watch, uh, go watch

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:33.600
the ShortCircuit about the Star Wars

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:33.600
TV, cuz why not? Love you. Bye.
