Lego is cool again!

When I say 'cool again', I generally mean that when you're a kid, you think they're awesome. Which they are. But when you grow up, you kinda forget about them. Yeah, Bionicle and Mindstorms have kept the brand going into early to mid teens, but you do generally grow out of them.

With this new wave of Lego licensed games, however, you're tempted to go back to actually building the damn things. That Lego Death Star looks pretty cool now, right? Your little brother (and maybe sister, I dunno) wants a Lego Harry Potter set, and maybe you do too. When the Lego Indiana Jones sets come out, you're gonna want some of them, aren't you? See? Cool again.

Also: The Lego Star Wars Complete Sage may finally give me the push I need to actually buy a Wii if it doesn't surface for the PC. So yay!

The Death Star itself, yeah. The $200 dollar price tag, not so much.

I seem to remember building a crude remote control lego robot with the early mindstorm sets. now i've gotta figure out where they went to and get back to building things.

EDIT: Sorry, $300 price tag

Lego was always cool.

But I'm still wondering where Lego Superman or Lego Back to the Future are.. :)

I really do love playing the Lego Star Wars games. They are fun, funny, and really do have a lot of replay value. Even though I own the first two, I will probably end up buying the Wii version of the entire saga when it's released this fall. I am really glad to see they are taking the improvements they made form the second game and redoing the first three episodes with those changes. I am sure they will make some things different too to keep the game fresh, besides using Wii controls.

The other ones in development look good too. The more the better because they really do know how to make these games fun to play.
