Agree.

I am still hoping they will eventually change that.

It's a fun game, but only in small amounts. I wouldn't mind checking it out time and again and even buying the few odd bricks/costumes.

@FrostPaw I played it for about three weeks and did have fun. It's not exactly a difficult game, but there's something relaxing about sitting in your private building area with your hoard of LEGOs and just building. It brought to mind sitting on the floor with a box of construction blocks and building whatever comes to mind. The MMO part was colorful, with fairly common MMO standards in play. The sheer number of LEGO blocks available to find and/or purchase (with in-game currency) is staggering.

You would definitely get your money's worth for a month of play at that $10 price. If I remember correctly, I didn't even have to sign up for a subscription with a credit card, so when my month was up it simply ended. I didn't have to cancel a running sub.

@DeadlyAccurate

I can sit at home with a private collection of LEGO and build real things for free. Even better, I can do that with my kids and experience some real interaction with them. Also free. This game needs to lose the box and subscription fees...and even then it's of dubious value.

@Laephis
The legos aren't free in the first place are they, you bought them (hopefully).
The game is an alternative for parents to let kids play with lego without the possible choking hazard (for babies) or perhaps without the mess of legos lying about... A lot of different possibilities simply put.
Again, preferences can alter your perception of the game, but its not a bad thing that it's out there.
Although I agree that the freemium suggestion isn't without its merit.
