Yeah, I think the price was a big downer. Especially when the starter pack got first released. I waited a few months for the first 'good' offer. But I think the entire toys to life idea would have worked much better, if they really sold the starter packs as cheap as possible and then make the money with the add on content. It's that sticker album principle, that sure would work here. Once you got enough starter packs sold, people will inevitably start to buy more stuff.
But when you pay € 100 for the starter pack alone you really start to consider if and what to get next.
I got Lego Worlds and I strongly advise you NOT to get it It's so much fun and soooo adictive. Three times I build up my Lego Dimension to play more in the Knight Rider and Batman movie world and just wanted to pay a short visit to Lego Worlds. Suddenly it was half past 11 at night I still had to get up early and get to work. You have all these funny outfits for you characters and these funny little quest (okay, I do this one and then quit ... well this one and...) and so much stuff to build and try and so forth. It's really the most lego-like of all lego games
