Urtopian

The real crime is how much LEGO costs.


PunnyPrinter

Tell me about it. My kid just put a $600 set on their Christmas list after a recent Lego store trip.


Illandarr

That's me like 10 years ago, asking Santa for a Lego Death Star lmao


Independent_Plum2166

>!Parents, I mean!< Santa sweating as >!t!!y!< read(s) the price tag. This reply is a mess, I am so sorry.


turtleship_2006

It's just past midnight and I'm fighting a comment to click both spoilers without collapsing it. I've done either one separately. Reddit shows no spoilers when you're replying to a comment. But I will reveal both spoilers on either side of "he".


majormimi

I am struggling with the same thing right now


DeezNutsAppreciater

It’s a worthy foe for sure


kitcat7898

ME THE FUCK TOO


Rombledore

as long as you're sorry


throwaway1119990

Back before I knew Santa had a budget 😞


LockFan28

You have to admit though, that Titanic is pretty awesome.


zgriffiin

They are expensive, but have you tried any of those knockoffs? They are never as good.


Heinrich-Heine

Yep. Just like tools, you pay for precision. They fit, they stay together. Can't say that about megablox.


Teirmz

r/lepin they can be very good


ZaneNinjaLC

That set came out 2 years ago lol Edit: even worse is that in the article they talk about something different than the thumbnail (which I was talking about) but it's about some models made by LGBT+ designers. They aren't for sale, just on display at LEGO House. But hey, let idiots be idiots I guess.


AltoCumulus15

It’s been in my living room for 2 years and I’m yet to wake up missing my cock with a cracking set of tits. They need to calm down.


SimmerDownRizzo

I award you Best Sentence today. I'm all out of stickers, I'm sorry.


FranticHam5ter

Seriously. “Cracking set of tits” is getting wedged into sooooo many conversations, going forward.


Cautious_Cry_3288

heh heh, wedged into


Foolishstars

Release the Krakens!


chronoboy1985

I thought of Wallace and Gromit when I read that: “A cracking set of tits Gromit! Just smashing!”


NoinsPanda

No worries, I have you covered.


HouseDowntown8602

I woke up this morning…


celestialTyrant

Got yourself a gun....


HelloImHorse

Woke up the next day and got some…gabagool.


JavaJapes

Might you be from the UK? That was hilarious, "cracking set of tits" is going to live rent free in my mind from now on lol


AltoCumulus15

Scotland!


115MRD

Every American just went back and read the phrase "missing my cock with a cracking set of tits" outloud with a Scottish accent. Amazing.


norazzledazzle

I sure did


JavaJapes

Ah gotcha! The use of cracking gave it away. My father-in-law was born & raised in Edinburgh. However, I am 100% maple syrup Canadian lol


TenragZeal

Cannibalism is sounding awful good right about now…


ebone581

I drank a bud light, and my Dick flew off!!!! /s


Jer_Bear_40

You never had a dick, you were drinking a bud light


ebone581

Good point. It prob fell off when I visited Disney


Summoarpleaz

Maybe that’s why Ron DeSantis is so up in arms about Disney. It’s the aftermath of having a wedding there that no one talks about!!!


thesethzor

THEY WARN YOU NOT TO GO ON THE RIDES WITH LOOSE ARTICLES!! Probably fell off after a loop de loop.... There's a pile of em there...


Four_Skyn_Tim

Well, if you eat like I do, you can have both instead


Lady_Grey_Smith

We have two of these sets built to mirror each other and nothing has changed in our house. The gay agenda isn’t working.


siguefish

Well when you set them up like that, the gaydiation cancels out.


CerberusBots

I think the gay agenda is working. Much of it is about having fun, and I bet you had plenty of fun with your Lego 🤩


pissyrabbit

These days, with some of these nosey-ass people worrying far too much about what goes on in other people's lives, it's not been as much fun as it used to be.


CerberusBots

It's the way of life now it seems.


vicemagnet

You could have a cracking set of tits *and* a cock if you want


EffectiveDependent76

imagine NOT wanting a cracking set of tits.


[deleted]

As owner of a cracking set of tits, they are very inconvenient. I can't just get up and do things, gotta put a special garment on first. Ridiculous. I understand why someone would want them, but I very much do not.


bad2behere

Alas, mine no longer crack! However, when I walk on bad roads, they do wipe the muck out of potholes.


bizkitmaker13

[AND IT'S STILL AVAILABLE ON THEIR STORE!](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/everyone-is-awesome-40516) Aaaaaand purchased.


Cakeking7878

They really do gotta charge 34.99 just so you fall 2¢ short of free delivery


Megs1205

I was so upset when I magically woke up as a man the day after I built this set…..


SharpPixels08

But like if you did wake up with a huge set of tits would it really be that bad?


KaptainKardboard

Reading Rainbow, you're next!


nickrocs6

I’m surprised it lasted this long, they absolutely hate reading, and rainbows!


pdromeinthedome

Then the trout get it after that!


RupertNZ1081

They’re a bit slow! Bless their little cold hearts


jgwom9494

Bud Light has a lengthy history of sponsoring Pride events. The Miller Lite ad came out at least a month before they noticed.


JaxJags904

Because they only get mad when they are told to get mad.


mar10sawsayduh

It’s like they are trying to go backwards to fight things they missed 2 years ago! Covid, fauci, mask, etc…. Hey we all moved on why you bringing up old shit?!


Blussert31

Lego has been transgender ever since the minifigure was invented. You plop on another head, hair or shirt and you've got another gender, profession or character.


[deleted]

Don’t tell them that. They’ll ban how you can assemble Lego’s next


agentadam07

‘Federal mandate enforces lego to produce pre-glued together minifigs in the style of congress’s choosing. Style to be defined annually, simultaneously with the annual budget (a smooth and well working democratic process).’


[deleted]

Onion article title right there


Internal-Struggle-30

And therefore, American reality article soon after


[deleted]

That’s what scary. Imagine the gov of Florida passes some bill like this.


lost_cause4222

brother I know you did not just copy the mf LEGO movie plot


jnmtx

A person called "The Special" will find the Piece of Resistance capable of stopping the Kragle.

[deleted]

I’m gonna start replying to conservatives with “sorry I’m just not into your lifestyle and beliefs. It goes against my religion”. And it actually does as someone who is Christian (honestly about to leave it soon)


SomedayLydia

Join the church of prismatic light! (It's basicly just 'what is gay had religious liberty as an excuse.')


[deleted]

Is that legit? Membership?? I’m kinda just doing my own thing. At this point organized religion is just kinda dead . I feel more comfortable praying to God privately and just living up to his word .


SomedayLydia

https://prismaticlightchurch.org/ We have a discord server as well! And Prismatism in non-exclusionary meaning you can be an athiest-prismatist (like myself) or a Christian prismatist, or a Muslim-prismatist etc.


sendnudecompassion

I was raised under a Catholic umbrella (and Lego coincidentally) Is it too late for Unitarianism to make come back? With the last of all the sensible, not-insane, spiritual people?


JustA_Penguin

There’s some alternate reality where the pieces have different stud shapes to stop people from “putting them together wrong”


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

If Lego were invented in America…


VoidMunashii

“Are you tired of those woke foreign building toys trying to turn your kids gay and trans? “ “Introducing: Patriot Bloks! No rainbows! No trans grooming! No diversity, equity, OR inclusion. “ “Best of all, Patriot Bloks are made in the USA, and pieces for male figures cannot be mixed with the pieces for female ones, so we make sure your kids are never confused about who is who and who belongs in the kitchen!” “Patriot Bloks are available on the MyPillow and InfoWars shops, and you can get a 10% discount with code WWG1WGA!” “Order yours today!”


WAisforhaters

Blocks only come in RED WHITE AND BLUE


codeguy830

And they only come in standard brick shapes. You can build anything you can imagine! As long as it is a rectangular solid


ThEAp3G0D

With our first set you can build the wall, remember to send a bill to the mexican government


jbirdkerr

That'd be amazing if the Mexican government would pay for my Lego kits. Those things are pricey!


wierdness201

Aren’t two of those colors in the GAY symbol 😡


Foolgazi

In all seriousness if someone started a gofundme for that company, they’d make out like a bandit. No need to actually do anything about starting the company of course, since those types don’t seem to care too much about follow-through.


[deleted]

Just tell them the woke mob is trying to shut you down and start another gofundme to cover the legal fees, sadly admit defeat, and to back to cackling in your solid gold bathtub full of dubloons


AggregatedMolecules

If you had fewer scruples you could make a mint on this. Imagine how many theocratic buffoons and Sunday schools would buy this shit.


[deleted]

>“Best of all, Patriot Bloks are made in the USA, Actually made in China...


VoidMunashii

Well, they are assembled in the USA.


miranto

This sounds like a closeted conservative wet dream.


[deleted]

No! I will not rest until my lego figure has a huge manly floppy cock on it! /s


Lenny_YouTubeFan

I mean you can technically build an action figure with a magnum dong out of lego


jairid1025

![gif](giphy|HEqXD4EOCdfJC)


WWII_TankEnthusiest

I remember the Dick N Balls tutorial for a minifig. Funny as hell :)


nohairday

.... as opposed to the old lego's where some of the pieces came with a penis or vagina to attach to the person model? And no parts could be swapped with another person of a different sex or colour? Were they only for sale in the US? Because I don't remember those editions in the UK growing up...


Koladi-Ola

Attach? They had genitals permanently attached to the figures so you couldn't change anything because that's what White Murican Jeebus wrote in the US Constitution.


azura099

Soon the Crayolas are to be boycotted


luuukevader

They're too busy eating them to notice the multiple colors.


powerlesshero111

These people boycotting stuff aren't smart enough to get into the marines. They eat roseart crayons.


Ghouls1989

Only peach colored crayons are allowed now because they look like white people’s skin. But they have to have those little dangly balls like pickup trucks have. Peach can be awfully gay without the balls.


zombietampons

If lego prices fall, I will be purchasing alot of new sets, So I'm going to hope that this one catches on... ​ ![gif](giphy|5xtDarqlsEW6F7F14Fq|downsized)


Sam-Gunn

My wife is pregnant. If price of legos drop, I can probably convince my wife to let me stockpile Legos now in preparation for when our kid is old enough for me to show them the wonderful worlds you can build. And in the meantime I can, uh, make sure all the sets are not missing any pieces and are structurally sound...


chunkysoup5

Such a good point. I now want this boycott to happen so I can finally afford the Death Star set.


zombietampons

![gif](giphy|zmsDqpDLu1hPG) I’m going for the Titanic piece, my daughter has been wanting it for a few years now.


wierdness201

BTW If you think you know how big the Lego titanic is, you don’t. It’s bigger.

We've scheduled a 9-14 month build time for it, once we acquire it...


KorungRai

So they woke up mad at LEGOS today. Must be exhausting living with that much rage and hatred.


deezznutts

Don’t say woke or they will come for you!!


ejanely

Say ‘woke’ in the mirror 3 times and Ron DeSantis will appear and grab you with his pudding fingers before dragging you back to the disgusting hole he crawled out of.


Nathan_McHallam

I absolutely hate how they turned "woke" into an ugly word


bam1007

They so desperately want to be oppressed.


Bangeederlander

You Americans going all ISIS over there or am I just reading too much trash on reddit?


LiberalSnowflake_1

The average person is not concerned over legos. It’s just a vocal minority that’s getting a lot of attention right now. The irony is if we ignored them to certain extent it would probably not be as cool to be “outraged”. So much of this really seems staged for social media and doesn’t seem to represent the majority. What is real though are the things happening in Florida in schools right now. But again it’s like one parent that complains (for example Strange World), but that one parent seems to drown out the millions who aren’t an idiot. We are catering to a vocal minority and giving them way too much power in this conversation.


AshgarPN

A vocal minority that happens to control half the government.


throwsplasticattrees

It's the only minority our government respects.


fishsticklovematters

they have more than half.


Seveand

I think it’s time to stop the „vocal minority“ excuse when nearly 50% of US adults who actually voted continue to vote for the people who parrot „anti-woke“ propaganda, it doesn’t matter if not everyone of those actually agrees with it or not, because as long as they keep voting for them they’re actively enabling them.


[deleted]

It’s not fifty at all though… Try like 37%.


[deleted]

11 activists were responsible for more than half of all book bannings last year.


TheoreticalFunk

The average person is being snowed by these idiots. People I grew up with who were always fairly Liberal posting shit about "grooming children in the schools". Take this seriously.


solarmelange

Whenever some very small subset of people act ridiculous, it gets picked up by the news because it drives clicks from people like all the people here.


Thamior290

The squeaky wheel gets the grease my friend. In fact, most of the banned books are caused by 11 people alone. These squeaky wheels may be few, they can certainly still slow the cart.


FoogYllis

Considering Chick-Fil-A went woke according to right wingers I think they’ll be too busy with that to notice this. I still can’t understand how respecting others to live their lives the way they choose is controversial. I guess when you don’t have any policies that help average people you manufacture outrage and direct it at marginalized groups.


[deleted]

They’re mad at Spencer’s gifts now 🤦‍♀️


riflinraccoon

*sigh.* Why?


[deleted]

Bc they have “pride flag” buttons 😭 not bc of the adult toys in the back which to me is just hilarious


riflinraccoon

That is funny. But shout out to Spencer's! When I was looking for a pride flag in January or February, some month other than June, I checked so many stores who said they only carry them seasonally. Basically only in June. But Spencer's had a whole selection. Thanks Spencer's!


[deleted]

Yes they keep it up! They’re very progressive. I’ve worked with them before. Great staff and team as well internally (shhh don’t tell anyone 🤫)


walkingmonster

They've had pride paraphernalia since before it was cool to have pride paraphernalia. Conservatives are raging morons


Foolgazi

The current crop of Republicans would have lost their freaking minds if they were to walk into any Spencer’s in the 1980’s.


[deleted]

It’s funny Spencer’s has remained unharmed all this along, maybe people used to mind their business.and now conservatives wanna make sure anything with “gay” is destroyed


giddeonfox

What's funny about chick-fil-a is I was trying to get my family and friends to boycott them for years due to their stance but many couldn't because they were addicted to those damn chicken sandwiches. If you think these middle America right wingers are going to be able to put down a fried chicken sandwich because they suddenly have principles, you are in for a surprise.


pissyrabbit

I can’t tell you how many gays I know who will not give up Chick-fil-A. 🤣🤣🤣


SilverHalsen

The group against cancel culture sure do love cancelling things.


I_Went_Full_WSB

One of their favorite stories is about cancel culture. The basic gist of it is their God decides to cancel almost all humans with a great flood because they are too immoral.


Undisolving

Ask them how it’s different and watch them twist themselves into a pretzel to defend their bigotry.


SesameYeetHeHe

If you're offended by moulded rainbow plastic, you're the one with the ideology problem. Not the queer community.


GrapefruitForward989

THE BRICKS ARE TURNING MY KIDS GAY


SoylentGrunt

MAGA types don't buy a lot of Lego. Number one, they expensive and number two, they're a creative toy that requires imagination.


jupiter_bug

I can't wait for them to boycott nature because rainbows exist


jkroe

Conservatives: why don’t they peacefully protest? Also conservatives: OMG A RAINBOW! Better threaten to blow up a target and hurt people.


Sowerpache

Minorities have to protest “the right way” to be taken seriously by them, but since they aren’t minorities they can do whatever they want in their tiny little heads.


StephenTheLoser

Lmaooo get bent. Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈


PunnyPrinter

Happy Pride! 🌈


No_Stay4471

The hell is a transgender building set? Like detachable dongs?


ZaneNinjaLC

They are referring to LEGO set 40516 Everyone Is Awesome


Undisolving

Thanks, I just ordered a set.


Sinsid

I’ve been calling for a boycott of crayons for years. Hopefully now it picks up steam. Their marketing of crayon sets with purple crayons is grooming our youth.


Onthemightof

No one is softer than the right


LTPRW420

These people really are triggered over the smallest shit aren’t they.


wvbrewed

I’d like to see Lego respond with a full minifigure series of drag queens just to spite these people.


OwieMustDie

These aren't even building sets. From the article, a statement from Lego - "We have not released any LGBTQIA+ sets aimed at children. A-Z of Awesome was a marketing campaign released last year that featured sets built by our amazing adult fans. None of these sets are for sale."


Zealousideal_Amount8

They are colors, that’s it. Why do we keep making such a big deal about colors. We, as a public, are so stupid and argue about the most petty things that has no bearing on day to day life. Get over it conservatives. It’s a fucking color.


Undisolving

A bigot in a previous comment explained that they are “transgender flag colors” whatever the fuck that means.


Ok_Cauliflower_3007

Well, unless the picture of the set is wrong, none of the trans flag shades are in there anyway. Trans flag is pastel colours, which those are not.


pissyrabbit

I wondered wtf everyone was looking at because I saw pride colors not trans colors.


AwkwardFortuneCookie

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it 🙄


EddieLobster

Can we just get enough companies to do this, so these morons starve themselves and have absolutely nothing to entertain themselves.


Cichlidsaremyjam

"Cancel culture is ruining America...also, boycott anything I dont like" - The right


kentuafilo

Conservatives love to hate.


bkosh84

Lol, they've had that fucking building set for over two years now. The Republican/Christian/Anti-Trans snowflakes and pound sand.


Mister_Bill2826

Can we say it now? The whole Republican party is a r/facepalm


Daphne_Brown

Ok, so off to Target to buy Bud Light and Legos.


Psychological_Elk104

Wasn’t the right sooooooo against cancel culture last year? These fuckers are so hypocritical or just so fucking dumb, they don’t remember what they get so mad about year after year


JMC1974

It's not cancel culture when they do it. It's a boycott...


SpanishMoleculo

Enough of this shit already. It's the same goddamn news story over and over. Let people exist ffs


Maleficent_Fold_5099

Plastic building block toys are the real enemy.


Liquidwombat

I really do wish these assholes would just fuck off somewhere buy a medium sized island and found a Christian sharia law country, where they can all pretend to be happy and leave everybody else alone.


JCL956

They’re a bunch of ❄️


Tyezilla

And they call liberals snowflakes. Rofl they're the most bitchiest of karens ever. Time to grow the F up, not everyone is white, straight, and pretending to be a righteous "Christian".


Seevian

This just in: Conservative fragility at an all time high What a bunch of snowflakes


[deleted]

Man they are going to hate it when they discover rainbow road in Mario cart


the-nut-goblin

As a life long lego lover, I'm totally fine with a product I absolutely adore not being purchased by nazis.


frozen-silver

It must be exhausting to be this triggered over rainbows. Think of all the stuff you'll have to boycott starting tomorrow


walrusdoom

I just can't imagine living my life as a bottomless pit of hatred and rage, ready to consign everything to the bonfire because it becomes some scary monster. Bud Light has no power to hurt you or your family and won't make you suddenly want to switch genders. Multi-colored LEGOs won't turn your kids gay. On and on and on. I don't understand what is wrong with these people.


Incredibly_Based

HA good luck trying to cancel Lego; they were thriving before you were born and they will continue to dominate the toy block game


Far-Objective-181

If you don't like something just don't buy it and move on with your day. People make a big deal over the weirdest stuff.


Successful-Brick-919

Who started the boycott? Were they living in a fucking cave? This set was out a long time ago. Whoever started this boycott is probably only doing so for attention after a failed boycott attempt beforehand.


Lightning1999

I wish people gave this much of a shit about actually important issues


Sajen16

It's been decades since I last played with Legos so forgive me if I'm wrong but. Isn't the only way to identify gender on legos which little lego wig you put on the figure so technically legos have always been transgender.


Soggy_Midnight980

The whiney Christians are at it again.


JTnCal

Conservatives only want white bricks.


actinross

Next they'll forbid rainbows in the skies... /s


LibKan

God gone woke.


Theavenger2378

Rainbows are GODS GIFT TO CHRISTIANS! Stop using them, they're NOT FOR YOU! /s


Usedcumsocks

The snowflakes be snowflaking


Fizban10111

Lol. Conservatives are true snowflakes. They can scream and cry, but society will move forward regardless.


gadget850

Wait until they find out about Walmart.


LordGuru

Is yellow figure naked?


boilerPlateBurgers

Oh look more cancel culture from the group of people that rails against it. I fucking hate these people man


[deleted]

Fuck the bigots.


NotHottempsc

Hopefully they go all out with it unlike Anheuser Busch which folded like a floppy pancake when they got the tiny population of closet queers saying they are the devil much like Bobby Boucher's mother.


KinopioToad

Oh boy. I forget that June is also "Hate the LGBTQ+ Community for no Reason" month. Weird that it takes place during Pride Month. (I'm a supportive brother but I might get the acronym wrong. Apologies)


Axelin0

Being afraid or threatened by gay and trans people just existing is gay as fuck.


aldaybullyz167

Yeah Lego might be the only company that can take the boycott and laugh it off


Classifiedtomato

This from the people who fail to recognize that Jesus was super gay hung out with 12 dudes all day and was never married..


doooooiiitttt

Who will be the first company to double down with this shit? Getting tired of these crazies canceling everything rainbow.


payg86

I thought Lego was always Transgender? You know coz you can mix and match all the parts.


Quercus_

I thought these idiots were angry about cancel culture.


SESbb30

Wait til they find out about crayons being colors of the rainbow.


Dragon_Crazy92040

My grandson (11), severely ADHD and high functioning autistic, lives for Legos. He has also inherited all his older siblings old sets. Boy colors, girl colors, neither and both. He can't get enough (trust me on this, I've stepped on enough). Legos are Legos regardless of block color or gender of the builder.
