There sure are a lot of brickset commenters mad about this new set!

Personally I love models of ordinary things and the shoebox packaging this comes in is super neat.

Great, another drop that won't be in my size.

Real talk though: What time should I start refreshing lego.com in order to get a pair, because what am I going to do with just one shoe?

If you don't want to be called a gameboy, stop playing gameboy games!

Tbh it seems like basic grammar. You wouldn’t go to a beach and say look how many sands there is. ‘Sands’ does exists as a plural but you wouldn’t say that sentence unless you were a crazy person, or worse, trying to “stick it” to... US copyright law? Denmark?

There was a consensus even as children that lego is singular as well as plural and the fact that there are any people of my generation saying legoS at all is kinda disheartening. Where did we go wrong? You can’t blame parents for that.

Sand isn't really the same, since it already refers to an aggregate of gains. If you had a single grain of sand you wouldn't call it sand.
Is a singular brick a Lego? If you accept that it is, then Legos is fine and who cares?

Lego people (and Star Wars fandom in general) are predictably losing their loving minds over this “Boba Fett’s Starship” poo poo.

It ain’t real, folks. Boba Fett is a fictional character. If Disney wants to rename his ship to avoid referencing slavery in tyool 2021, then who the gently caress cares? Let them. It’s a made up spaceship flown by a made up character.

I hadn't heard about this, are they actually renaming it or just omitting the name?
Also, other than death star, millennium falcon, and razor crest, do the ships get named on camera? I played a lot of the supplement games so I know about executor, Avenger, home one, and Majestic, but do most people?

My headcannon is that Slave-I was destroyed between ROTJ and Mandelorian but he just bought another model and hasn't named it yet. You saw Mando Season 2, he didn't really have time. He's been busy.

Their warrant probably had something like 'any and all materials related to government buildings' in it.

The Lego store by my house has a MOC by one of the guys from the engineer team on Lego masters. I guess they live in my city.



Pretty neat build. Looks cool in the store, although I've been looking at mind blowing mocs for so long I'm just kind of like eh. Not that I'm saying it's not cool, but I feel like anyone with a lot of parts could pull that off. Tbh I thought those guys were probably the weakest team on either season of lego masters. Not trying to be a hater it's a neat ship regardless.

That's a neat build and better than anything they made during the show. (well, their hat idea was pretty cool)
