The constructor series are great if you want something exciting (cars, robots, scorpions) out of the box but are still generic enough that you can reuse them.
I haven't seen the slide or the spiral staircase though I can see use cases for both. The only ones I'd say are special are the large windows & the snowflake on top but you're a darn sight closer to right than he is.
LEGO has had weapons in sets since the first Castle sets in 1978 (swords, axes and lances as well as shields and armor) and guns (muskets and pistols) since the first Pirates sets in 1989.
They don't have modern day weapons.
I thought they had a bazooka in the space range, but it was apparently a video camera. I swear I never had that 2x1 flattie with the spools on it.
Licensing in an of itself has no impact on the brand or the quality. It's all about *how* you license it.
No, it's about what the licensee does with it. In this case, they're apparently smearing it with shit and hitting crippled orphans over the head with it.
I saw thing on TV, there's a factory making knock-of Land Rovers just round the corner from the official factory. If they run out of parts they could call their inside man and get him to chuck some over the fence, it's that close. Cheeky little bastards.
KInd of makes sense. Onmce you make it smart it becomes a computer and you need an OS (even if it's a minimal one) plus all the user facing apps, a GUI... none of that shit is trivial. Even "proper" software companies make a balls of it sometimes.
Toymakers seem to have it covered. Captive oversize screw. Oversize so you can use a coin if you don't have a screwdriver, captive so you can't lose it.
Let me get this right. They put trade unionists in death camps and fought a war of extermination against the main communist country in the world because they were socialists?
I don't remember at any point from K-12 having Legos in the classroom. It's a shame because they are great for teaching some aspects of science and technology.

I'm not even sure "wane" is transitive. "Wax" can be.
That would make a pretty neat song for They Might Be Giants or someone like that.
Stop imposing your liberal white ideals on them, you literal neocolonial racist murderer.

Kreo aren't bad. My kids have a few sets I got as an experiment - there was some theme that wasn't available in Lego. Transformers, maybe.

You should have asked Santa for something else then, you big poofter.
Do you call strips of metal with holes in them meccanos or meccanoes?
On second thoughts, you probably manage to fit at least one apostrophe in there somewhere.
There was a vaping shop in our local mall and it made my eyes water whenever I went past.
Closed down now, the notice said "Blah blah better serve you at our other shop" which I think is corporate speak for "The fad's peaked already".
I have. However the pain was nowhere near serious enough to make me forget what a mass noun is.
I suppose anyone without a degree in classics will tell you it's legines?

I'll take "nasty but I can see it" over "nasty and invisible" any day.
It fills the "smug hipster twat who can't grok lisp" niche perfectly.
It'll be fine as long as they get Xzibit to open it.
I agree, and so do many therapists.
Toymakers seem to have it covered. Captive oversize screw. Oversize so you can use a coin if you don't have a screwdriver, captive so you can't lose it.
Wrong. The point is that you think the opposite of "artificial" is "true". It isn't, it's "natural".

Someone that stupid made it through med school?
Shame they can't use them to teach grammar.
Is that a short (bus ride) or a (short bus) ride?
