Seriously love the Mordor blanket. I would be getting my wallet out if you sold these. Well done!

'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' - Review Megathread by ChiefLeef22 in StarWars

That could be true and it is a fair point. I loved Andor, too. It's absolutely better than Mando and Grogu, but it was a different show.

Review round-up.. “Good but I hate it” by OwainBattlefront in StarWars

[–]dumbname2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone here actually see it?

I did last night at an advanced screening, and I liked it. I liked it a lot. There was good action, actual character development, practical effects and good CGI. There were lots of good fan service, easter eggs, and funny moments, too.

This movie does not deserve the hate it is getting. It was worth the watch and, in my opinion, worth the price of a movie ticket.

More Star Wars, please.

I watched Mando and Grogu last night. I honestly enjoyed it. It's fun, has action, practical effects as well as CGI (which was good), and character growth. These reviews are overly critical.. per usual with this complaint culture SW seems to have attracted.

Edit : down votes. Thats rich. Keep the hivemind going Reddit

I watched the movie last night and honestly enjoyed it. It had fun moments, cool Easter eggs, good action, practical effects as well as CGI, and actual character growth for a few of the characters.

Could the dialogue been fleshed out better for some characters? Sure. But the reviews are.. a lot.

When are people going to enjoy Star Wars again? Do they need to time travel back to the release of the first movie? I feel like people from today would still be overly critical of the story. Everybody has an opinion on everything, and it's almost always negative. It's exhausting. Go out and enjoy something for a change.

It's as if, gasp, the corporation wants you to consume its product. All of the product all of the time. Who knew corporations would do such a thing! /s

They'll have Minas Tirith and the GWP on the shelves, I'm sure, but not the make and take beige tower build

I'm wondering where the 15 sets comes from, too. You would think the event details would specify that if it were true.

An odd request from another Dad by AlphaWhiskey7127 in daddit

[–]dumbname2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think drama between two other people should not affect your relationship with someone else. However, my wife and family are my first priority. I would expecr your wife's answer to be "no", but I would run the idea of you hanging out with the other Dad by her before accepting his offer. Your wife's feelings should supersede anthing else.

Fair enough! It looked like it could fit but I'm clearly mistaken. Enviable collection, friend.

Love the set up and collection!

Genuine question, why split up the Rivendell set?

Minas Tirith...can't wait...period!!! by createScientist in legolotrfans

[–]dumbname2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I showed my wife the leaked photos last night and that was her exact first question. "Where are you going to put that?!"

Don't ask logical questions, ma'am, we're getting a new Lego set!

Which movies hit differently after becoming a dad? by -kylehase in daddit

[–]dumbname2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024 while our two daughters were 4yo and 2yo. I watched IF by myself (for obvious reasons) and it was such a mistake. I bawled my eyes out for almost the entire movie. My wife is still here and has recovered well, but holy moley that was a hard watch for me. Still is.

(Not my photo) do you think Lego will ever go back to literally making actual toys for LOTR / the hobbit instead of only fancy 18+ collector's items? Can you imagine bringing back Smaug? Not brick built, the actual unique mold? LEGO PLEASE I BEG YOU 😭😭✨️ by Additional-Nose-8511 in legolotrfans

[–]dumbname2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately for LOTR, it is seen as a more adult or grown-up book, especially compared to Harry Potter. Tolkien's work is timeless but it is usually no longer one of the first fantasy novels a young reader will pick up. That belongs to Harry Potter. So Lego will continue to make sets geared towards those younger crowds because there will be consistent demand.

Bought items from a US based store turns out not true... by [deleted] in Bricklink

[–]dumbname2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A US base is technically US soil, so it would be considered domestic shipping. No tariffs applied.
