Ah, that's why StarTrek pulled away from BlueBrixx. I've got a nice big shiny Defiant in my display case.
The bigger question is, how much more expensive will those sets be?
I've tried out the demo now. It is not too bad. I realize some limitations might be because this is a demo and not the full game. Still, it's a bit slow going. I've seen the Red Dark, and I've escaped the planet, so I did the full questing available in the demo.
What I liked about (modded) Minecraft is the crazy-ass automation stuff, I'm not seeing much of that here if any. This one's really more like an adventure with a set goal I think? I hope it really has more automation in the full game otherwise you're waiting a long time for stuff to process.
I have to admit this game did play smoothly, so that's a big plus. Didn't feel buggy at all or anything. Just needed a little bit of figuring out the UI and such but that's a given with any new game.
Yeah, it was known that BlueBrixx lost its StarTrek license. There were already speculations about LEGO taking it over at that time, as that'd make sense.
