Oky Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I tried to be nice unkile some others. I guess I'm meant by that. Sorry that I sounded so "grumpy", I guess I overreacted a little. It's just that there have been so many pointless topics lately... Anyway, I'm sorry. Quote
Mariann Asanuma Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Now that I've played LEGO Rock Band a little (it was at Comic Con) I want it even more than I did before. Before anyone grips about LEGO going out of their "comfort zone" try the game yourself. Its fun, family friendly, and yes LEGO is jumping on the Band Wagon (pun intended). My only grip is that I'll have to buy a new game system -- PS3 or Wii -- to play the game. But I was planning on doing that anyway. Quote

Edit: Wii release date Edited October 14, 2009 by sologuy369 Quote
Mission Commander Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I hope they make a concert set! This would be a great new line of sets! Quote
The Who Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I hope they make a concert set! This would be a great new line of sets! It would be, and it seems they are at least making an effort here by offerring a Rock Band themed product, the keychain. Quote
ILikePi Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Wow, an exclusive keychain that comes with the game? Not really that hard to make, but the LEGO Rock Band tile seems to be exclusive. I don't really see how this game will be that much different than the other Rock Band games, though (other than the pictures of LEGO minifigs singing). Unless some special LEGO drums, guitars and microphones are released. Quote
The Who Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Not really that hard to make, but the LEGO Rock Band tile seems to be exclusive. True.And note that you can see, at the ends, that that is actually two tiles, so I wonder if it is printed (on both tiles)...? Quote
Mariann Asanuma Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 True.And note that you can see, at the ends, that that is actually two tiles, so I wonder if it is printed (on both tiles)...? I saw it at my local Gamestop. It's not printed, its a sticker. Quote
ILikePi Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I saw it at my local Gamestop. It's not printed, its a sticker. Bah, what a rip-off. Not much of a point in pre-ordering, if you ask me (unless really, really want the game). And booger, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't look closely enough to see that. Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Many links to some pictures and information you might enjoy: Blur in Lego Rock Band (article): here Iggy Pop: here Bowie (!!!!): here Source: rollingstone.com (very reliable!!) You're welcome. Quote
sologuy369 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Not really that hard to make, but the LEGO Rock Band tile seems to be exclusive. Stickers, fairly familer pieces... I wanted to share the NEW( ) news so quickly that I didn't take a good look. One thing that I notice: white sticker on black piece. I will think about pre-ordering it or not... Quote
