    Lego Rock Band bundle?

    As far as I know, there is no bundle. Why? This seems stupid considering the audience it is aimed at.

    Because there is nothing wrong with the instruments we already own. I also find it a bit weird that a kid would want to buy 'Lego' Rock Band if they've never wanted to play the games before, and I'm going to assume the lion's share of people that want this game already play Rock Band but want their children to play a sheltered version.

    And I'm going out on a limb and saying that making instruments isn't the most intelligent market to be in right now seeing as it's flooded the stores and their shelf space.
    Viewer discretion is advised.

    The contents of the above post are likely sarcastic.

    They could have included the RB instruments. And if you were a parent and your kid wanted a music game, but you didn't like some of the songs on the other ones, and decided to get this, then what?

    Then you would simply buy the the stand alone instruments from the other games.....

    Then you choose from the countless guitars, mics and drum sets at the store......................

    Do you want to know why there isn't a LEGO bundle? Just go into your local retailer and take a look at the shelves.

    Rock Band 2 bundles
    The Beatles bundles
    RB1 + Beatles bundles
    World Tour bundles
    GH5 bundles
    Band Hero bundles
    DJ Hero bundles

    Heck, some places still have Aerosmith, GH2, and GH3 bundles rotting on shelves. HMX may release titles that get better reviews, but Activision has the shelf space pretty much sucked up with their relentless repackagings.

    HMX has already put out a big bundle this year with The Beatles. Why draw sales away from your "Big 2" (RB2 and Beatles) with a third bundle so soon? Especially when your competition has already flooded shelves with three bundles in less than two months.

    I have an interesting story about last night and me going to Wal-Mart. I was in the food section picking up some things and lo and behold, there was an aisle (for those that go to Wal-Mart, the aisle that changes based upon the season, Halloween, Christman, Valentine's, ETC) that had candy for halloween, costumes, and yes Guitar Hero peripherals.

    Haha that's great. I've been looking for a $20 "first-party" guitar for a while now. Tilt sensor in my secondary guitar stopped working and I'm too lazy to mod it (and I don't have a soldering kit).

    Ok, at my local retailer there is a few GHWT sets, maybe one RB guitar. They could have released the RB2 instruments in Australia with Lego Rock Band. And there would be no harm in having a Lego Rock Band bundle with the RB2 instruments.

    My nephews play XBox RB2 when they visit. I was going to buy them RB Lego for Christmas, but I'm balking at having to buy them RB2 bundle AND RB lego, as the RB2 Bundle is cheaper than the individual instruments.

    Wii RB Lego Bundle would have been awesome.

    I'm buying just the XBox game for myself, just to play it through once and import the songs.
