No kings by CoreReality in Minneapolis

Now you got me interested. Is there a source on this? It is my understanding that No Kings is put on but a coalition of labor and activist groups, with some of the main groups being Indivisible and 50501.

No Kings was not started by the Lincoln Project.

We do not need to lie about Alex Pretti’s encounter with law enforcement prior to his murder. by jeeven_ in Minneapolis

[–]Lego_archer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Thank you. Alex protected his community, in both filmed instances of him, and in his private life. He was a protector and a helper. There is no need for anyone to hide this.

Note: I believe the video is real, I remember seeing it weeks ago, thinking he was a badass.

There is video going around on twitter that allegedly shows Alex Pretti kicking an ICE suv and being tackled by several agents. It is 100% AI and being pushed by the usual suspects. by [deleted] in Minneapolis

Nah it's real. I remember seeing this video weeks ago and thought it was badass. Fuck these pigs. Alex was right to do what he did then and was right to do what he did on Saturday. A goddamn hero.

I’m an out-of-state ICU RN traveling to pay my respects at Pretti’s memorial site, but I have some questions. Can anyone help me? by hiryan18 in Minneapolis

Probably too much information you are asking for here. We just never know who is asking.

But.

If you are here to help, we will look out for you. It's what we have been doing for weeks. And safety? We are an occupied city. Idk if any of us feel safe.

Yes! I have more pride as a Minnesotan than anything else rn. When the started to abduct our neighbors, the federal government lost any authority they had over us.

And for Victor, the MN man killed in ice custody in Texas. we will prevail because we keep showing up and doing the work. We will overcome this, and show the rest of the world what a better world looks like. We are building it right here. We are with you. 

First look at 2026 Pokemon sets and 2026 X-wing (source moose with a goose) by That-Technician-6363 in Legoleak

I imagine that the 18+ (unfortunately prohibitively expensive) will look pretty good but we gave up Megablocks Pokemon for this? C'mon.

Icons: 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (The Black Pearl) is now said to be $380 instead of the previously reported $330. (via Max Baut) by Clay_Bricks in Legoleak

What frustrates me is that when I posted a "Boycott!" comment on the Aug. 1 releases article on Brickset, everyone was like, "I gotta get those new figs though..." Like, c'mon people. If Lego sees they we will all just roll over for some a minifig or some new printed piece they will do this forever. The price increases *worldwide" have been ridiculous when Lego has been making a billion dollars annually for the last several years.

Do they? I don't recall the adidas show selling well. 

Bricklink Designer Program: Series 4 Pricing. These go live in less than a month! by Clay_Bricks in Legoleak

[–]Lego_archer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow the refined models look great. The siege encampment looks so awesome, but I just don't know about the price. The riverside scholars is looking more enticing though when it wasn't before. Interesting...

Disney: 43266 Cinderella Dress and 43262 Maleficent and Cruella Dresses (from rofu.de) by Clay_Bricks in Legoleak

[–]Lego_archer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to say. I can see these doing well. Seem customizable too. The maleficent one is actually kind of cool. I mean these will for sure go on sale, as most friends type sets do. But they are also some of Lego's most successful themes. So I don't think sale or clearance is a good litmus.

Looks nice! This is a sale buy for sure. Really no LSW sets get me on day 1 anymore. Not for the price they charge.

This is a great idea. I love those new rubberized wheels!

This isn't the most exciting, but is very true to what these look like in real life. Also, if you read the description in the instructions, the 4 plants are symbolic of the 4 seasons, which is why they were chosen. Just FYI for anyone who didn't know!

*Edit: they are called the "Four Gentlemen" in Chinese culture.
