Now i want to post a pic of my entire brick collection that censores every non lego set so the image would basically just a full blur with one or two small sets being uncensored. That would certainly piss off the mods
resellers absolutely suck, we work actual jobs, we sell our time, and just when we got some cash on hand after paying everything else, retro games are expensive, legos are expensive, so much is expensive, ALL BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS A QUICK BUCK OFF PEOPLES HOBBIES
You forgot the part where the sub is flooded with microbuilds. Like seriously a moc that probably took hours to create only for it to be out done by a microbuild that was made out of extra parts in a few seconds.
To be fair, the Mos Eisley Cantina post (just checked) got downvoted into oblivion and there's not a single person in the comments not laughing at the scalper. Most upvoted comment says that he's working at a LEGO store and knows who the resellers are, so they give them the most scuffed and damaged boxes possible lol
Honestly, the one rule ill defend is the "only lego rule". Its pretty apparent its only there to cover the subreddits ass legally. Here (Germany) independent toy stores got lawsuits from lego just for having "Steine" (Bricks in German) in their name or using a building brick logo - which I should note lego doesn't hold any copyright to, not even inventing that style of building brick. Being an *unofficial* forum for a product and discussing competition and especially bootleg products is a great way to draw the ire from a company if their lawyers want a raise. The enforcement of it obviously is a different story.
You used the wrong flair and touched a fake/custom Lego in your life. Your video will get taken down. Also I am on the circlejerk, but sometimes the sub is more flawed then the main sub.
1:00 Lego hasn't been promoting to be creative with their sets since quite some time. It takes one look underneath a modern Lego set to see that they just put random colours in there to get rid of colours that are used less frequently which in turn makes most sets unusable for getting bricks to build own stuff. This in turn promotes this uncreative thinking and with the horrendously high prices some Lego sets are sold (and still include stickers) it's also no wonder that people care more about their boxes than what's in it.
The resellers are a vocal minority of Lego fans. Most of the people buying lego - regardless of age- do not care much about "INVESTING". This is just a syptom of reddit being social media. Sharing a box of something expensive/something you just bought is gonna get instant validation. Actual creativity doesn't. I.e r/synthesizers is a consumerism subreddit where you post the box of the synth you just bought. Barely any uploads there are questions about making music/sounds on a synth or even about music made on a synthesizer. People literally go to the *circlejerk* synth subreddit for actual questions and advice. A sub meant to be shitposting- yet it ends up being more reliable.
Honestly, I don’t think r/lego is that bad. Right now, I think it’s one of the only places in the community where there is little to no hierarchy. On RUclips, a lot of the big LEGO RUclipsrs act with this sense of elitism. Their thoughts, opinions, experiences are all that matter it seems. Because of that, a rando like me doesn’t feel heard. But on the subreddit, everyone is fairly equal and people share unfiltered, honest comments. There is something to be appreciated about that. And I kind of understand the no alternative brands rule, because the subreddit is about LEGO specifically. But it is silly that you can’t even mention Mega or any other brands. My least favorite thing, though, are the people making haul posts. Especially when they claim to have found some super rare set either for cheap or in their family’s possession. Where the subreddit does shine, however, is in the MOCs. The members of r/lego know how to build! I love seeing the random build techniques or MOCs they make. I think it’s worth checking just for that honestly.
I would say that this is one of the good things about r/lego that the reviews and opinions on sets there tend to be much better in my opinion. Like I watched a review of the new captain America red hulk set yesterday and the RUclipsr legitimately tried to justify a 55 dollar set that small because it comes with a big fig. The problem I believe is most reviews out there are by already decently wealthy people receiving products for free. Because of this their ideas of whether something is a good value is changed maybe even subconsciously. Not to mention many don’t want to ruffle any feathers at Lego.
I’d be really surprised honestly. I think Star Wars is a bit different because it’s like “space alcohol” if anything I could see MAYBE a gwp of either a micro/midi scale version or Moes express with the upcoming simpsons house because it would give them the ability to put moe lenny and carl in a set.
I have no problem buying Non-Lego, Non-Copies, of sets or figures. I have a large collection of Brick Deadpool figures and Warhammer 40K figures that I can display.
That is absolutely a reddit moment

I will now specifficaly upload photos of my worst bootleg figures on there now
It kind of feels like Facebook group page when you go on there

I laughed way too hard at the Big Ben moc with the second bus. I am staring at the Big Ben set on the table across from me now.
You know what you must do.
@ I even have the correct bus from the Buckingham Palace set
circle jerk is actually sometimes funny, unlike the normal lego sub lol

I'm gonna spam them with figures from aliexpress.

Yea they can be overly cynical and repetitive at times tbh

redditors are such a joke LOL
Do you think LEGO will make Moe's Tavern when Simpsons returns? Because the Star Wars Cantina is LITERALLY A BAR.

0:16 love it 😂
Why did the mint mos eisley guy decide if his photo of box damage needed anything, itd be an american flag blanket below the box?

Im an investor
Mald harder
Somehow harder (the translation is funner because you can't invest lego)
those mold harder:
