looks good

judging by the general consensus right now its getting hyped
also its meant to be more eco friendly than a plastic alternative

it's cardboard, it will last 1 day at best, and it costs fucking SEVENTY dollars

unless you make a Salary of $100'000 a day you could never afford to endlessly replace a SEVENTY DOLLAR cardboard toy

Considering that quite a few accessories for the original Wii were hunks of plastic, this seems like the eco-friendly conclusion. B|

SEVENTY DOLLARS

I would expect it to be of at least good quality for having to pay that much. As in, it won't spontaneously combust after a day.

On the plus side, you can make your own Nintendo Labo by asking for some empty boxes at the liquor store.

In a way, it’s like building your own PC, except it’s for Switch controller peripherals.

I don't think this is the standard cardboard that will wear out and have to be constantly replaced. Still not for me, not something I'd buy.

It looks about like the quality of cardboard snack companies use to market their product in stores, and those things would fall apart under the wieght of the product all the time. I know this because I used to be the one that had to put them together when I worked retail..

I chose to ditch it finally when the switch came out because it is so mfing expensive I don't belive I will EVER be financially stable enough to buy one

As someone who builds models a lot, I kind of get the appeal.

However, 70 dollars for fucking cardboard is insane. I can get 3 or 4 high grade Gundams or a decent master grade Gundam for that price, and said Gundams are pretty much guaranteed to far outlast something made out of cardboard.

It looks like pretty sturdy cardboard. And unless you're a complete fucking moron and submerge it in water it looks like it could last a while. The thing I have a problem with is the price, but then again that's really nothing new for the big N.
