I hope they don't use rubber bands to launch the birds. Even more highly powered stud shooters would be good.

I hope that the sets are stable. It always bothers me how the structures in Angry Birds aren't. It's a huge design flaw.

Wow... Not heard of Angry Birds in a few years... It seems a bit late to be making a movie, as I thought it's popularity had died as soon another overly simplistic and repetitively boring ('addictive') game came along. (I think the next game was a flying fish thing with pipes... or at-least it was where I am...)

The movie was green lit in 2013 when the game was popular. I think it's midly popular now, I believe the star was version is doing okay

I'm surprised to see this the K'nex ones didn't sell as well as planned. Also how will LEGO differ the sets? I'm sure each set will be all most the same with different colored bricks and different birds. Unless it's completely different to the game everything will look the same.
