I really hope this leads to Lego versions of their other properties (although 
I'm sure this would be a licensing nightmare).  The game is just so purely fun.

I would love to see the same sensibilities applied to "Spiderman" or "Harry 
Potter" for example.

The characterization is just beautiful.  You can easily imaging kids playing 
the same way with their sets.  The facial expressions, light-slapstick comedy 
and body language they evoke from the minifigs is just perfect.

Well - I'm not one of them.  ;^)  But I would still love to see a sandboxed 
Sims/GTA-type game done with legos.  I remember how much fund I had with the 
"Gummy-ship" in Kingdom Hearts and that was just a minor minigame.  I would 
love to see a video game which allowed me to build lego exploration machines or 
spaceships and meet challenges.

It would be so cool!  Your character would just be a head - you could then 
apply different hats, capes, torsos and legs!  At first you'd just get so many 
peices - perhaps just enough to build basic shelter.  Then you could earn more 
to maybe build a car or a garden (or even a friend).

You'd use virtual legos to provide your minifig with food, shelter, 
transportation, companionship, etc.  The more bricks you earn the better off 
your mini-fig is.

How cool would that be?
