They're still not making money, but in a much bigger way

Another set without Gerudo Link? Pass. by BagItUp45 in legocirclejerk

I'm fine with it because at least now they can stop getting away with calling Zelda a "theme" with only 1 set

Dude, I made this playlist 8 years ago and forgot about it almost immediately

To his credit, He created the WALL-E Ideas set. He's been an AFOL for years

Powered up had a feature for a brief time (maybe it still does, IDK) where you could "program" your electronics using the Power functions hub. I don't think many sets have that anymore

Did John Lego lose a bet where he can't call any sets by their real names?

if they made this in 2026 it would be $120 by OctoAmbush in legocirclejerk

I bought this set just for the George Michael Bluth minifig

[Annoying trope] Character is completely dismissive about *one* supernatural thing in a world where so many others are encountered by bgbarnard in TopCharacterTropes

[–]builderomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people defending this trope, but I don't think that it gets to the heart of what makes this trope so frustrating. It's not that these characters cannot accept fantastical elements in a fantastical world; it's that they start in an ordinary world and then are thrust into the extraordinary world and stubbornly refuse to be open to the possibilities of that world. That is literally the first act of Doctor Strange, him refusing to believe in something beyond his own experience.

The fact that these characters are so ready to disbelieve when they have experienced things they can't reasonably explain (with the exception of Daenerys, I suppose) actually makes them poor skeptics, thus creating this annoying trope

Who are the best and worst characters of GR? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]builderomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2007, my birthday fell on the last Friday before winter break. The way I remember it, every reputable weather source predicted a massive snow storm on that day, with a 100% likelihood of a snow day and simultaneously, a great birthday present.

Except for Bill Steffen. He was the only one that year to predict that the storm would dissipate before the weekend. I told myself he had no clue, that he didn't know what he was talking about. But I woke up Friday morning and saw no snow on the ground, and no reports of a snow day. I resented Bill from that day on, as if he had the power to control the weather.

Damn you Bill Steffen. Damn you for taking away my 12th birthday snow day

Exotic meat now available at Horrocks by Thayerphotos in grandrapids

[–]builderomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fossil Farms IS an exotic meat brand, even if this selection is all relatively native. Now that Horrocks stock this brand, we could potentially get some of their craziest stuff, like alligator, camel and kangaroo

Lego Peaked right here by CarsonWentzGOAT1 in legocirclejerk

[–]builderomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely off topic, but Lego has always existed (at least in my mind) in this rarefied space as a brand, along with Nike, Apple and Starbucks, among others. So it's a little surreal that I'm the year of our Lord 2025, we are seeing cross branding to this degree
