So,

There'll always be something new to discover on your break.

It's so exciting.

I'm a huge fan of Pokemon, so it's been a real pleasure for jumping in with this one.

And yeah, it's going to be super exciting.

I think, like you say, collect them all means a lot to a lot of people, but I think this new iteration of how you can collect them all is going to be even more exciting.

We know that a lot of people that are kind of fans of Pokemon are also fans of Lego.

I think we looked into it, and it's almost sort of 80% of people that love Pokemon also love Lego.

So it's a really exciting collaboration for us.

Yeah, exactly.

So I think that's why we are really excited about SmartPlay compared to maybe some of the ways we've been able to do technology in the past, because, you know, we've spent a long time kind of being able to pack down this tech into something as small as, essentially as small as a kind of regular Lego, which exactly to what you're saying, right, means that if you bought into an all in one set anywhere, then you can bring that to any comparable set in SmartPlay.

So, yeah, we're launching with a kind of good, good,

I think 10 different kind of compatible sets for LEGO Pokemon.

And so that means if you're bringing a brick that you've got before, you can bring them into your Pokemon and experience what that's like or you can also kind of jump in now with the all-in-one sets that we're launching with Pokemon 2.

Yeah, 100%.

So, you know, we try to make sure we build our sets with our play designers to make sure that there's a huge amount of play in every set that you buy from LEGO, right?

And so if you buy one of the compatible sets, then we've included a whole bunch of play things within those sets that mean that even if you don't have a smart brick yet,

there's still lots of play for your kid right after they've built their kind of creature you can do all sorts of stuff and there's lots of there's pokeballs there's kind of food there's all sorts of things that you'd expect when you were a budding pokemon trainer but equally yeah you know each of the pokemon has a smart tag embedded inside it and that's what tells the brick to become that pokemon right and really feel like that pokemon so if you do have a smart brick you can pop it inside and then start to

see what it's like to kind of really play with your Pokemon, right?

So to kind of become that trainer and to start to nurture them, to train them and ultimately maybe battle them.
