Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.
Come at me!
As someone who will go to any length for a pun, certainly if it’s a physical one, my fig jam will be more tasty due to this change
I believe you mean men jam.
I didn’t, but now I do
You only like the plain faces? Man. I used to take a soldering iron to the beat up ones so I could create mutants to attack the ‘good guys’…
What- I ask you- what is the point of throwing a Lego space ship at the wall if your space man isn’t going to smile when he’s dead?
This is exactly the kind of post this community is for. You’re couldn’t be more wrong, take my upvotes you incorrect bastard!
Our advertising policy requires us to call them “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men. 😆
But yeah, agree.
FWIW, one of the best parts of the Foosball Table set (21337) is the shear number of wigs and faces it comes with so you can totally customize your players. It comes with 22 “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men and 44 unique wigs/heads. It’s pretty cool imo
I feel like this would be a popular opinion amongst the Lemmy general demographic but then some psychopath below proved the opposite to be true.
I find the use of “Legos” more triggering, the plural is Lego ffs.
Wouldn’t you add an “e?”
Legoes
No, that is equally abhorrent. It is a brand name, you don’t add anything to pluralise.
Yeah, this one definitely deserves to be unpopular. They’ve always been minifigs, they’ll always be minifigs, you don’t mess with perfection.
Flying Squid, I usually like your posts and comments but today. Today you’ve made me angry.
Whatever. You’re a “BigFig.” You won’t even fit with regular Lego blocks.
Leave my Dollar Store Chinese knock offs alone!
I don’t rememeber ‘men’ being prominent in the packaging and we just called the people ‘legos’ like the rest of the sets. So i’m half with you on them being kegos and not minifigs, but all of the people in the sets are just legos.
Yeah, but you have to be able to say the difference between Lego blocks (yes blocks, be happy I’m capitalizing Lego) and Lego men.
legos
Blasphemer! That’s like saying ‘traffics’. Are you trolling? ;-)
If half the world can say “maths”, we can say “legos”.
As long as no one is allowed to say “Pokemons”, I agree with that compromise.
One must capture all Pokemons
Sounds like you’re not with them on any of it tbh.
Was always Lego figures for me. Or whatever specialty the figure I wanted had.
I’ve never known them to be officially called anything other than “minifigs.” Besides: what do you call the obvious female ones?
Also they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having basic smiley faces
Well now you’re just trolling, sir. The faces used for the Legoredo (western) sets are amazing. I particularly like the grinning Mexican with gold teeth. I call him Sanchez.
I don’t know why I have to keep explaining this.
There are girl Lego Men and boy Lego Men.
I was so enraged by the face thing, I didn’t even read that part lol
Great post, worst opinion I’ve seen here in a while!
Well I like all the new helmets, hats and hairs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Those are all fine. But they’re still all supposed to have vacant smiley faces like the kind you’d find in a smiley face circle on plain yellow heads.
This is not okay:
I just don’t think simple smiley-faces would work with all the different ideas, though:
I like these ones far better than the hands-in-pocket guy, and infinitely more than the must’ve-been-4-inch figures in the old lunar rover set.
I agree that hands-in-pocket guy sucked.
You also probably hated the computer slant bricks too, or at least refused to use them on the outside of your spaceship… How boring.
How dare you! Space Legos were the best Legos when they were just Space Legos and not Star Wars or whatever.
Star Wars toys should have stayed with Kenner.
Oh yes, I’m going to piss people off with my strong toy opinions I am!
I was always partial to “Lego guys” myself.
That is also acceptable.
Why not Lego person instead of Lego man?
I don’t understand the question. There are girl Lego Men and boy Lego Men.
