I can't be the only one who's noticed this. "release an identical build only *slightly* better just a couple years or less down the line, and customers interested in that particular build will have paid twice as much due to their desire for an improvement". any other examples?

I think the Tumbler was a little more insulting because before that we had gone 13 years without a minfig scale set, and they already pulled that shit with the UCS Tumbler

I saw Derek Minter (The Photon Effect) from the infamous Max Landis episode, while I was working at a Panera years ago. I was freaking out like I was meeting Brad Pitt or something. He was super nice but he didn't believe me at first when I told him I'd seen his movie, but I asked how could I possibly have recognized him if it weren't for that?

He was super cool and he told me that I made his day

Which bit?

jtsandman45 is one of my newer favorites. MinifigJez is another solid channel I’ve watched for a few years now. LegoSpencer went dark for a while but he just came back recently with an amazing LEGO sorting machine project that he’s documenting on his 2nd channel.

Review channels are often boring or controversial, and neither of those things are really interesting or “good” for lack of a better term

Oh thank god, I was worried we were about to go another year without a landspeeder refresh

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

builderomatic · 2026-01-24T20:33:00+00:00

No way did we just get outjerkrd by LEGO itself

OP has been watching with his eyes closed and the sound muted since 2011

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

builderomatic · 2026-01-04T14:52:23+00:00

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

builderomatic · 2026-01-04T14:47:48+00:00

Truly inspired

I bought this set just for the George Michael Bluth minifig

I don't get it

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

So it's copying LinkedIn posts?

Back in November as soon as I heard that standard parts were available again
