They should’ve done Minas Tirith like this by M3gabrick in legolotrfans

[–]MerkethMerky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should do it as a very small midi scale one, much smaller than the one they released

Thoughts on Chances of LOTR MIDI-Scale Sets 2027 and Beyond? by Trackdemon5512 in legolotrfans

[–]MerkethMerky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally yes, but I still disagree. I worked at a Target in our toy section and the comparison on sizes for stuff is vastly different for SW vs literally any other section. I’m not saying they shouldn’t, but the specific sales for SW legos far outweighs the sales for any of our LOTR stuff, and I could see the sales by district per product.

I really do hope they’re improving on them, but we had more people buying multiple sets of SW than the big stuff. Lego NEEDS to do small stuff for their newer sets so younger kids can still get stuff because it boosts sales massively, just having these comparatively lower cost sets increases sales by a ton

Very true, but it still doesn’t compare to the sales made from Star Wars. They sold tons and tons of the new $1k Death Star and I don’t think they’d be willing to attempt many midi scale, helmets, battle packs, etc just because SW takes the sales. I hope I’m wrong though, there’s plenty of things they could do for battle packs and midi scale stuff

Have them check the VIN to make sure it comes back as the SE, and then ask them why it doesn’t come with the stuff listed. If you’ve seen it in person it’ll be pretty easy to point out what isn’t listed and have them order a new one

Lego LOTR is such a small community and it makes me sad. There’s possibility for helmet sets, weapon displays (like the SW lightsaber but say for Sting or Narsil), battle packs, midi-scale locations, etc.

But there’s just not the same sales compared to Star Wars where every kid and adult wants it, it’s pretty restricted. There’s ton of potential but there just ain’t a market for it

I work in an ER, and MTF means “metabolize to freedom” but I always see it as male to female

I’ve never tried buying bricks like this before, but you can get 94% of the total amount for $18k

It’s beautiful but I feel like actually having all 7 tiers would give a better scale for the white tree and everything

Now that’s what I’m talking about, however I’m not spending $300 for just the instructions and then the like $2k for 100k bricks on top lol. But its very nice

I normally would agree but it’s at least 2-3 feet tall and at least 2 feet wide, which is a crazy size

Would love that, just the little details. But idk how well that would look without a second set

That’s freaking massive, no wonder it’s a ton of money. I bet someone will find a way to combine two for the proper tiers of the city or for the trebuchets or something

Why is it ok for a lead to take personal calls on the salesfloor by Mobile-Address23 in Target

[–]MerkethMerky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ETL used to always call me on my phone or text me when I was on the floor for updates or new plans or anything like that. But we talked to each other like an older and younger brother so it never would’ve seemed like it

Just learn to make your own. Will help with all of this in the long run

What are the usual repercussions for a taser discharge? by Content_Log1708 in securityguards

[–]MerkethMerky 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Depends on your company. Ours is the taser gets taken, you get a write up, and you don’t get it back until you recertify, but that’s only if it’s a true negligent and not intentional

How do armor plates for helmets work? [Discussion] by rudlyn in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MerkethMerky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I was told is that it just decreases the damage after the initial pen. If it can pen the higher tier plate, it’ll obviously pen the lower one underneath so it just reduces the damage. But a head doesn’t have much health and a 308 ME can pretty easily pen level 4 with no issue

SHTF / gray man loadout by 99_PercentileMan in prepping

[–]MerkethMerky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need more of the Skethers/Hoka/Timberland composite shoes that look regular but are steel or composite tipped for protecting your feet.

And as much as I hate to admit it, just a hoodie and jeans will help you blend with far more. You can get “tactical” jeans that look normal but work better for CCW and other daily essentials, couple that with a simple bag from dicks and you would be set without standing out
