Gotta say I’m really disappointed with all of the specialty large molded parts. It feels like Nintendo doesn’t understand what makes LEGO special compared to competitor brands and is trying to push them toward the Megablox or COBI direction. These specialty pieces is part of what almost killed LEGO as a company in the early 2000s.
Let’s be honest: Moulding a special part for a set like this, which will totally sell, will not ruin Lego. Custom parts are not that expensive, companies are doing molds for smaller runs than Lego. And they’ve done a few really stupid decisions with some sets (like the Mona Lisa face or the statue of liberty) where some custom molded parts might have saved the set.
