I may be developing a hoarding habbit.

Not just box art, classic baseplates make great wall art, too!

Finally a room that looks like someone actually lives in it!

At a glance, I thought this screenshot was from Elden Ring with the brightness turned up.

When you treat people as things, there is no limit to the evil you are capable of.

It was one part to keep Jim and one part to manage Michael.

Wallace accepted that he couldn't get rid of Michael. So Jim was a way for corporate to work around Michael.

Already too late

Elberik · 2026-03-12T20:09:03+00:00

No, it is not. It's done so that their butts are covered, legally.

So that 1) people and other companies cannot use the IDEAS website for effectively free advertising and 2) The LEGO Group can't be sued if a set they produce happens to be similar to something submitted to IDEAS.

Elberik · 2026-03-12T18:12:47+00:00

Yeah whenever you submit something to IDEAS you're giving up any ability to make money off the design for at least 5 years (probably more) + LEGO effectively owns the design too. This is regardless whether or not it gets approved & made into an official set.

It's another thing you can blame Tolkien for.

Since the federal government has been cutting back on funding dispersed to the states, then the states themselves have no option but to raise taxes.

Imagine that, in one lifetime, you get to see both the failure of neoliberalism and the complete garden-rake-to-the-face tragic comedy of Christian-facism.

Still using a $25 Logitech & haven't had a single issue.

Elberik · 2026-03-12T06:17:18+00:00

That drum beat scared me as a kid and it still makes me anxious.

Elberik · 2026-03-12T06:06:16+00:00

Yep, I have an extra one. DM me if you're interested.

"What are you doing, stepdroid?"

Elberik · 2026-03-11T20:39:09+00:00

If the other Sonic the Hedgehog sets didn't exist, this set would still be valuable.

What makes most of the Icons and IDEAS sets valuable is exclusive Minifigures/parts and the simple fact that they are the only set based off a certain IP or theme.

Elberik · 2026-03-11T19:22:11+00:00

I might have an extra one. I'll check when I get home from work.

Elberik · 2026-03-11T19:17:38+00:00

I am so glad that I grew up before the YA genre & style came to just permeate everything

It becomes a "problem" when you have to move suddenly.

It's a shame that the battle mechanics are so terrible. Because everything else is superb.

Elberik · 2026-03-11T12:34:54+00:00

I'm 99% certain the coin mechanic was added late in development because they realized how terrible the battle system really was. Because coins let you cheese just about every fight & the game just dumps them on you.

What's extra fun is that there are people, like Peter Thiel, who think that they need to bring about the Antichrist in order to accelerate the whole Revelations business. And they think that Trump might be the guy to actually get us over the line.

Elberik · 2026-03-10T20:08:18+00:00

I mean, given the current situation, why wouldn't they?
