Dang, that's a pretty cool animation for a die. I downloaded it as a screensaver. BTW: your first link just brings me to the S@H front page.

I'm having trouble picturing how big that thing is.

Somehow with all the animations I think this is much larger than a 2*2*2 stud cube.

Is it some kind of electronic game shaped like a dice? maybe Simon or something?

Or is it literally just a dice.

It's just a die (singular) Its for all these board games Lego is coming out with: Brickshelf (not my brickshelf page)

As for the size, look at the 2x2 pieces that are put on there, that should give you a good idea of the size.

sorry if the first link didn't work. Just go on to S@H and change your country to the UK, then up in that area near the top of the page where they usually have the *add* for subscibing to Lego there will be the dice thing. Hope this makes sense

Holy moly the new heads in "Monster 4" look stunning. An absolute must buy for me!

All of these games look promising and innovative. I can see these being successful.

[xenologer]

Well, if it Really is just a tiny Die, and those plates on the sides are really just normal detachable tiles.

Then the center pieces offers some rather cool SNOT possibilities. - a 2*2*2 cube with studs on all sides!

Plus I'd love to have the die faced tiles.

Thanks, I see it now. The count down thing is cool.

As for xenologer, on that home page for the lego games, it shows hands building the die, that's the size it looks like in real life. (although I assume those are kid's hands)

I agree, I'm already planning on buying that game, then making some torso decals to go with the heads.

Yup, those new dice will open up a ton of new possibilities for MOCs. Plus some of the tiles have great prints on them. I am surprised at how excellent some of these will be for parts packs, considering they are built as games.

Also, I noticed that the image for "Monster 4" has all the heads with the same colour cone base, whereas the standard sand green orc head has a normal green cone base. Then if you look at the box art, it appears to have a normal green head on a normal green cone base. Maybe the pic of the game is a little prelim, and we will be getting a new green monster head to go with the already stellar looking new monster heads. I love monsters. I am happy.
