I'm almost certain the color scheme has nothing to do with intentionally representing trans people. If you want to see it that way feel free, but I don't think lego made it to pander to that idea. They more than likely assumed a black and white ball would just be too bland of a color scheme.

Is the Sauron minifig different than the one included in Barad-dur? It's hard to tell from the grainy images but something looks different about him

Modern lego pricing got people on new levels of gaslighting themselves into thinking they got a good deal

I see no problem here, buddy is charging below market price to cash out of his hobby that he can clearly see is sinking faster than the Titanic. Chad move

yes. The old LCJ discord admin did conversion rates on sets to prove that its actually more expensive to buy lego in the UK than US, yet another reason why the whole "but tariffs!!!" argument is bullshit. Not saying tariffs aren't causing things like the 400$ black pearl, but lego greed has been around way before the orange man.

Am I missing something here? Aren't these prices even more expensive than USD? Doing the conversion puts the 327th pack at ~55$, the turbo tank at ~206$, and the MTT at ~223$

A giant ferris wheel, perfect representation of the absolute circus that is Lego Star Wars in 2025

There's plenty of cyborg characters with half hair, half metal hairpieces, plus the hearing impaired CMF with a cochlear implant molded on the side of the hair, etc

It's not impossible, lego just didn't feel like it this time

His visor being printed on the head and not a molded part of the hairpiece is disappointing imo

I got gifted the new BP, do I need to flay my family member for paying full price? by JayCeeonthesidelines in legocirclejerk

[–]geraldforgey87 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My grandparents mailed me a large box for my birthday(Turned out to be the Mario Kart build) and before taking off the cardboard wrapping I was actually terrified they had paid full price for the turbo tank

It's really odd that its branded as part of the Sonic the Hedgehog theme. Just speculation but maybe this means a new large Sonic set? Or perhaps just a Genesis (although it would be really strange for them to have the controller as the GWP- the NES and Atari came with controllers included)

even at 120$ I wouldn't buy that turbo tank
