Great toys, app needs attention – LEGO® Super Mario™ Review

My son and I have built almost every Lego super Mario set. Literally. These toys are absolutely wonderful. Every time we get a new set the old ones come back out and provide hours of great, fun, imaginative play. My son really loves that the instructions are on the app. When new sets are released he goes through the instructions over and over so that, by the time his birthday rolls around and he gets a new set, he is already quite familiar with the build. The problem is that it is often really hard to connect Mario and Luigi to the phone. I have an iPhone XR, and it has no problem connecting to Bluetooth devices routinely. But, especially when it is time to update the firmware on Mario and Luigi, they won’t connect to the app, or, they’ll connect but they won’t complete their updates. My son actually hates to “scan” in a new set because connecting Mario or Luigi is so often a cause for significant delays. I hoped that Lego would have sorted this out by now, but it seems not to be so. I suppose they will keep getting my money, and the money of my friends and family, because these toys are awesome. But I hope they fix the issues with the connection soon! Frustrated dad
