Nice saw the pics in a vid on youtube. To bad i could not scan the qr code. The figures look good the stage looks ok and simple. Lights add the high price?
I wonder what Mattel is thinking. Basicly real fans of that time are 70+ now, not sure if there are many ppl that building bloks at that age. Not sure how many younger fans they have. i know a few songs from my childhood but im not a fan.
My music time is the 80tys and a lot the 90tys billbord charts.
I could buy it for my parents, but the pricetag is to high.

I will absolutely buy this.
I might even break out of my normal practice and order it online, if it doesn't show up @ actual retail anywhere.

Stopped by my local Walmart to annoy myself at the ongoing over-abundance of Pokemon sets, give or take a Hot Wheels set or two. Spotted this guy on the shelf and naturally grumbled about another missed license. But then, to my utter shock, I saw The Beatles set right there in plain view on the top shelf! It looks like there were several, but this was the last one, and it had one of those security spider thingies on it to to prevent theft (and also, I'm sure, to prevent theft of the figures themselves!) Naturally I grabbed it for a cool $80. I haven't opened it yet, but it looks terrific. And I applaud Mega and/or Walmart for taking the product seriously enough to add security. And I hope the quick sell-out of this higher-ticket item will send a message to the powers that be!

Cool how fast you get the new stuff over there. I think the figures are mainly the best, but i also see use cases for the studio.

I'd like to see the promo materials and see if I can find it locally via brickseek.

For that price they could have at least given you an Ed Sulivan figure and a mic for him to hold.

Is it possible that Ed's estate charges too much for the license?

I scanned the QR code out of curiosity, and it gave me a 12 second placeholder video.

But I'm holding the box right now! Maybe I don't exist either?
