      Can you also buy the software, including games and programming applications cheaper at OfficeWorks?

      That's like saying "meals are cheaper from supermarkets than in restaurants".

        Your name is very fitting to your statement lol

        I agree though, Nintendo fans need to grow a sense of humour. I'm passing on this one though, Donkey Kong will be my next Switch game.

      So many butthurt nintendo fanboys.

      So God of war, far cry 5, and monster hunter all came out recently and they're all salty there's just some cardboard gimmick for them.

    I'd put the AMAZON20 requirement in the title. Many, many of us have already used it for other things.

    I got excited for a second, then found I'm not eligible.

      You can perhaps register a new account?

        That's pretty scammy. It's an introductory offer for new customers.

        Registering a new account and pretending you're a new customer is pretty much fraud.

          Well, hello, you are on ozbargain. Never seen what happens with "1 per customer" offers on here before?

          @TLZ:

          Some people may engage in fraud, but encouraging it doesn't seem like a very sensible thing to do.

          @marlor: I don't think there's a declaration screen to say that you've never created an account before. I'd like to see this tested in court as "fraud", especially for $20

      I did have 'with code' in the original title but a mod changed it so I guess they know better? ;)

    Hm, even at this price I think it's expensive.

    • TLZ on 20/04/2018 - 15:24
      +1

      It's not worth the price at all. $10 or $20 Max for me.

    • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2018 - 15:24

      It's a game, plus peripherals.

      Sure, the peripherals are cardboard, but expecting it to be the same price as a standard game, with the extra cost of producing the cardboard templates, just doesn't seem logical.

      • plmko on 20/04/2018 - 15:34
        +4

        Well a standard game has some production values. This more like a little mobile app 99c game with some cardboard controller.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2018 - 15:39
          +7

          The reviews say it's really well done, with really high production values in the construction section, decent minigames once the toys are built, and a lot of possibilities in the ToyCon garage.

          Sure, a large part of the "game" is the construction of the cardboard toys, but that's to be expected.

          Nobody says: "Lego Mindstorms is rubbish - you pay $400, have to build your own toys out of plastic, then once you're done, they just drive about and run into things". They're construction toys. Putting them together is the "game". The fact that there is a suite of minigames after the fact, as well as the ability to tweak, customize and program things yourself is just gravy.

          Sure, it's not for everybody, but that's the same with all games. Personally, I never play online, so I could easily say online-focused games without a meaty single-player component are "too expensive and bad value". But that's not true - they're just not for me.

          @marlor: I see what you're saying, but you're comparing oranges with apples here.

          If you want to compare Lego, then use Lego Dimensions. Even then, that is overpriced, when on sale, it's worth it.

          Multiplayer games are different again, when the server blows up, the game is useless. So if you want the community aspect to it, probably best to get that game at its peak.

          But, there is something for everyone. For me though, it's not worth the price of entry after watching a lot of videos on it. But might be for someone else. Which I believe is what you are saying.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2018 - 16:48

          @RocketSwitch:

          Well, yeah. If you want a project to work through with your ten year old kid, this is perfect. It would be fun times.

          If you're looking for something along the lines of Breath of the Wild, then this is not it.

        • RocketSwitch on 20/04/2018 - 16:49

          @marlor: That's a good point. It would be a great experience with the kids.

        • ce5himm on 21/04/2018 - 00:05

    Someone at a printing / box company could make some money printing / cutting these when released IF there’s a way to buy game only

    • idonotknowwhy on 20/04/2018 - 22:11

      I think there's homebrew for the switch now

    • zzyss on 21/04/2018 - 11:13

      Like most other "gimmick" first party Nintendo products, there'll be loads in the secondhand pile at EB when the novelty wears off. But I think I read somewhere that Nintendo has plans to "open source" (I use the term loosely) the concept for others to develop their own templates?

  • Aceboy884 on 20/04/2018 - 19:27

    I’ve seen some review and it look like a good kit for kids

    But for adults I think the novelty won’t last more than a day

    • mr_me450 on 20/04/2018 - 20:16

      Depends if you’re the kind of adult that likes building things, creating things and programming things or not.

      • [Deactivated] on 21/04/2018 - 10:49
        +1

        I like those things but I agree it looks like it's aimed at kids.

        • mr_me450 on 21/04/2018 - 12:16
          +1

          Pixar films, Mario games and LEGO are all aimed at kids too; it’s never stopped me enjoying them.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/04/2018 - 13:38

          @mr_me450: That's where we're different then I guess. I can't stand Lego and Mario, Pixar is good though as it's layered.

        • mr_me450 on 21/04/2018 - 14:02

          @Where's_That_Cake: Fair enough, each to our own then I guess.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/04/2018 - 14:12

          @mr_me450: Yeah I know there are plenty of adults that do like that stuff. I like Mario Kart if that helps and I buy all the Mario games for my kids. I dislike platformer games in general as well though.

  • VestMogen on 23/04/2018 - 13:36

    Got one, then I realised Robot is my aim, who wants to trade/swap?

  • parallelparadox on 23/04/2018 - 15:54

    I will be honest, I was planning on getting this for my kid who is 6, but am a little unsure of the durability. Especially for the amount you pay for it and it is just cardboard. They did say, you can download and print more on other cardboard, but not sure if it will end up being the same…
