Get everyone, Matt Elder of Matt Elder.com here and just gonna have a quick look at this news article that you came out today from the Brothers Brick from the Toy Fair New York. This is dots related news and seems that Sen Toki, hopefully pronounced that right, a merchandise which has done some stuff with dots. So we see some of the pictures here. These look like their pens with some studs on the ends and under the dots branding where you can just put some dots on the bits and pieces there. Then they've got this display of basically like a rainbow of notebooks and seems to be you then have matching pens which can interlock actually into the notebooks. It looks like there's some studs there and the pen can fit in there and close there. So that looks kind of interesting, kind of nice. You can go here, we're told that these notebooks are manufactured in the same factory that produces Mullskins high quality goods. Me personally, Mullskins, I have boxes of Mullskins art books as an artist. I use them a lot. They're really good quality. So hopefully they'll have some nice books there but the way that that's phrased though is a little odd. It's like saying, oh my Volvo is made in the same factory as Lamborghini. Doesn't necessarily mean that one carries over to the other and price point $24. That probably comes in more expensive than a Mullskin notebook anyhow. Depending upon the size of course. Just having a little bit more of a look here. The other interesting thing was releasing these looks to be gel pens and with these mini figures but the mini figures don't have any hair piece or anything like that. Maybe that's just to keep it gender neutral or something but does seem a little odd. You wouldn't include something like that. It's always going to feel a little bit incomplete and what else do we have and just more of the images that they released. So some of the images that they're released, those look like the pens. See some little extra dots there which are being included. Notebook display that we saw before. So note books look like they're going to just have the printed picture with the four studs. Just another shot with different textures on the front with the four studs again. One of the pens there. It looks like you can see the studs there to attach onto. Studs on the top there. Close up of that mini figure without the hair on top. Back of the packaging of the pens. Looks like you've got five each of the quarter circles and then five of the circles. It's hard to tell if you're getting variations within the same pack of each of the different one by four tiles. Well that's just a group shot. Showing you how if you got multiple ones combined together maybe it is if that's a multi pack. You must be because these ones here you're getting two of each for the single ones. This looks more to be like a marker pack, six markers and these are two by two so giving you a bit more space to do the dots on. Again the back of the pack and this must be for the multi pack. It's just not really clear. Are these going to be what's the relationship between what these are in here? Do they come off and you put on different ones or it's just saying that that's on there. Not really clear whether these are going to pop on or off or just strange it would be showing the the anti stud side there and then the stud side there. Getting eight of each of the major tiles and each color. These seem to be secret diaries and notebooks and it looks like you're going to have some plates in different ways. You can attach some more of these dots onto them. And the verse side of the packaging. It could be interesting there if that slides up and down. However that sort of clips on and the heart with just different designs it can do. A lock for it as well. This seems to be a mini little notebook with a eight by six stud area with 48 tiles that will cover that all and then another keychain with some tiles as well. Reverse of the packets just showing some design ideas there and then just different places you might want to put the keychain. Then some of the pencil cases which you're having these dots. This looks like a softer flexible type pencil cases whereas this one looks like to be more of a harder one. Some more dots as well. So you can go through and apply them. Make some designs. Reverse there. Eight of each of the components. This one looks like it's got 10 of each of the components. Could be interesting the opening and closing mechanism there for the harder one. So this been an interesting direction for the dots. This seems to be more general sort of stationary that you can obviously put some studs on and do some designs and connections on. Whereas the first way of the dots seem to be more about actually building surfaces and construction with your pineapple and photo holder. So it feels like it's going more in emerging direction but you're still getting your application of tiles which is coming more from your construction. So a little bit different from your normal just taking Lego and putting it on to other merchandising such as other lines that they've announced here. So a bit more of a foot in each camp where part of it is actually building and construction as you associate one with your normal sets versus licensing to merchandise kind of a foot in each camp. This is some of the other merchandise that they announced and was on display. Yeah it looks like some interesting things which I'm sure has a market but I'm more interested in the actual building products and construction. When I first saw this I thought oh great it looks like they're going to really be releasing a whole bunch of Lego intends and things which would have been cool but I think this is more just a thousand piece jigsaw puzzle so more just a picture which you can do a jigsaw out of and the other interesting one is a suitcase with some studs on the outside. It seems that these would be protruding out with a cast shutter there, particularly the way that the light from a flash or something matches up so you'd hope that would be a relatively tough plastic because certainly some of the suitcases we've had coming out of luggage carousels have been beaten up a bit so if it wasn't strong enough and see that getting bashed around a fair bit otherwise some interesting bits and pieces there. I'm sure it's got a market. Being more into the construction side of Lego the thing which I wish that release is this promo pack that they sent out which had about 5,000 pieces in it. This would be really interesting and certainly a few other people I know who have seen this have certainly said if they could ever get their hands on it there would be a great thing and happy you to pay for it but I don't think they're ever going to actually make this as a set and just see some of the new bits and pieces they've come out with. So some interesting dots news that's come out there it looks like it's blurring a bit more of that line between the actual construction toy and what is more I guess sort of straight up and down merchandise. The timing of this all seems a little strange given that the first wave of stuff doesn't actually hit Lego branded stores until the end of this week although it's been popping up in a lot of other little shops elsewhere and I suppose being toy fair it's a hard date and they need to announce it but announcing effectively what I guess you could call wave two when wave one hasn't even really hit the shops saying that this is going to be an August release for some of this stuff and hence being February why they're not really giving any prices on the actual items themselves. An interesting direction that Lego are taking their line what do you think of these products are these any sorts of things that you're going to be picking up and be curious to see further how these notebooks go. Personally I could see picking up some of these things those know your thoughts in the comments below.
