Let's raid the headquarters in Denmark and show them greedy mfs some real customer feedback.

I've been planning a raid since 2008 anyway.

“Breaking news, the organization known as arrslashLegoCirclejerk has taken control of the Lego HQ; their demands are simple; the immediate cancellation of the Star Wars theme and replacing it with Power Miners.”

Unironically would be thrilled to see Power Miners brought back.

Their leader refers to himself only as "Ogel"

lego star wars fans when they realize all corporations are only interested in profit and not your friendship (wow who knew)

u/_Levitated_Shield_ avatar

They already fucking lost our friendship when they fucking put Captain Rex in that fucking microfighter. FUCK. 🤬🤬🤬

u/Titanium-Gamer26 avatar

yeah, we could have had TWO Phase II Rexes worth hundreds of dollars, but NO. they just had to appeal to the kiddies and not true sophisticated lego star wars investors like ourselves

Wow, a billion dollar company focused on profit is greedy? Stop the presses!

u/Bittersweetblossom avatar

Yea, people only get into business for money so I don’t know why this would be a surprise.

What’s greedy about it

Ikr sets can be redesigned. Manufacturing, freight and warehousing costs have likely gone up since 2008 too - not that this accounts for the Disney tax.

Honestly these days I'm happier with smaller sets because I've got limited room! Again not accounting for Disney tax cause some sets have half the pieces of others for the same price.

Honestly same! I was relieved seeing the size of the star destroyer, knowing that I can actually fit in on my shelf now

I agree with you. Tbh, I think some of us may be seeing the whole cloth kama thing from the wrong angle. Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy the cloth pieces and I think Rex doesn't look as good without them. But, going back to older lego reviews, I do see some people complaining about cloth kama/skirt pieces, because of how they don't let figures sit down or because of how they stick up in weird ways

I feel like it's possible that lego just chose to print them this time as a response to those criticisms, maybe? It especially makes sense with the microfighter, since Rex would not be able to sit inside with a kama on his hips

So I feel like this whole thing may just have been a big misunderstanding, maybe. Like when Infinity Ward saw people complain that Call of Duty Ghosts was too similar to past CoD games, and so they started developing the futuristic Infinite Warfare for 3 years, only for fans to have grown to hate futuristic CoD games by the time Infinite Warfare got revealed

Yeah I agree, but if they wanted to print them instead they could’ve done a dual molding and add the printing on the front, to make it look like it’s around the waist. They’ve done that a few times for longer coat legs, I don’t think people would mind it

Maybe that could've worked, yeah. Could you tell me one of the longer-coat figures that had that? I believe you, I just can't remember any at the moment and wanna be able to visualize it better

Like the scientists from the lego ninjago movie, or mad eye moody has legs like that too

The characters who's faces we never see might not have face prints?! WHAAAAA?!!

This is a terrible take. You don’t have to be a contrarian for the sake of it

THIS is a terrible take. YOU don't have to be a contrarian for the sake of it.

Having all black faces means kids will have less to play with,, the faces are nice for them. It also helps when you want to make Mocs or things

Who cares dude its completely inconsequential
