I'm in this meme, and I'm totally ok with that. Hun if you see this the landspeeder with 1890 pieces please! Love you!

This hit close to home. Except the kids destroy my Lego sets or steal parts.

No, Jean Luc is obviously a man of taste. Star wars is the superior choice, of course.

I gotta get me one of those.

Okay?

If you want a more LEGO-like feel, you can probably replace the high quality printed blocks with some stickers.

Definitely need some stickers, at least, for this.

The repulsive Picard picture on the Enterprise D, coupled with the miniscule size, leaves me wondering how it could even be worth the €150 sale price, let alone €199.95 RRP.

At least with the Lego Millenium Falcon you get some fucking mass and intricacy for your money.

The Star Trek ships should be bigger and cost more, or cheaper and cost less. Not the same amount for far, far less.

Edit: I misunderstood the sets the above post was referring to.

I’m about 80% sure you are being sarcastic at this point. Just to be sure:

  1. The BlueBrixx sets print unique design elements like names, numbers, coloured lines directly onto the bricks. LEGO is known for adding packs of cheap stickers for most of that.
  2. The ready room picture is, afaik, one of the more iconic objects associated with Picard.
  3. The painting is 1m x 0.5m with some depth.
  4. The Lego Millennium Falcon has ~2.5 as many pieces for ~4.5 as high a price. (Using the regular price, which is €189.95, btw, ten less than you wrote.)
  5. Intricate details I cannot judge from the pictures. I suppose that comparing a painting set to a ship that’s several times as expensive may also not be the easiest to compare, even in person.

That’s, like, your opinion. Personally, I think €850 for a single set is a bit much. I’d rather have 5 smaller sets for that price. That said, Bluebrixx does plenty of ships that are "cheaper and cost less", down to tiny sets for ~€10 each.

A.k.a. she's fucking her boss, but a LEGO set to keep you around the house is cheaper than full-time childcare.

Probably.

That's not the kind of joke made by people with secure masculinity so I think these few steps can help you:

  1. Picture a woman more successful than you.
  2. Accept that she is not a threat to your ego.
  3. Understand that your self worth isn't defined by other people.
  4. Repeat the phrase "Successful women don't exist ____(despite of/because of/for/to hate/to ruin/to mock) me." Successful women simply exist, whether you are there to observe them or not.
  5. Remove "women are ____" statements from your speech until you no longer feel threatened by them.
  6. Get therapy
