Why am I so mad?

The reason why I’m so mad because I bought 3 Lego mine storm, and when I realized that the app was coming out for no updates. I got so mad because I don’t have the pieces I need for it and now I would have to buy the Lego spike thing and yeah, I would be so mad because of this now now I have I have to just stick with it and wait until my birthday to get it. but there is a lot of stuff on the Internet that breaks the flaws of this so that it is compatible, which is the only good thing
