I've had more time to think it over now. After the initial disappointment of "that's it?" wore off, I think I'm more satisfied than I was initially. That said, I think I stand by pretty much all of what I wrote here. I really, really like this game, but the price is just too high. I'm glad I have it, but I do believe that the cost is a valid reason to pass it up. There are a few things I would like to elaborate on, and a few comments here I want to respond to, but I don;t want to deal with trying to format a long reply with several quote in this terrible editor. I'm going to play the game some more, see just how much I can do without any of the expansions. So far I've only done the bare minimum of the game, I haven't even bothered trying to get the minikits nor have I spent more than a minute or two in the three hub worlds that came with the base set. Who knows, maybe there actually is more content there than I gave it credit for.

See, this is one of the things that bothered me the most about the concept. I've seen the game being praised as a story game, a game that gives a unique, quintessentially LEGO story and game where there was none before. But it's exactly like every other LEGO game, it just has several licenses at once instead of one. And I get to the Simpsons level and it's not like, "okay, here are the Simpsons and here's there contribution to the story" its "hey guys you like the simpsons right remember the simpsons? lol those wacky simpsons" in the background as you replay the lego movie videogame and lego batman 3. (didn't buy the game, just watching a walkthrough, but it works out to be about the same I think)
