- inkubusfan, on 02/17/2009, -0/+12Correction: Docta Jones.
- FXNGLAS, on 02/17/2009, -0/+10That does not look like short round at all. WTF
- tgc1, on 02/17/2009, -0/+10I'm not sure if i'm alone in this view of Lego(s) but ever since Lego started using licenses in their play sets, their quality and intricacy have diminished. When the Legoverse was centered around their own creations the play sets were much more elaborate and rich. Came with more pieces, and weren't quite as expensive. Liecenses aren't cheap for things like Starwars, Indiana Jones and Spongebob and the like.
I noted a stark contrast between my old favorites the Town (now City) play sets and the Pirates play sets. I was looking the other day in the toy isle, and I can't say i'm excited at all about Lego these days. I still have a few larger Town sets, and looking at those sets versus what they are putting out today just doesn't compare.
I might be going nuts, but I think they also changed the type of plastic they use in the newer sets. It looks cheaper. They also seem to be dumbing the sets down. More of the sets are including larger single-form pieces instead of many pieces that make up a component. Like in this plane model I saw the other day, the entire front of the aircraft is one piece. What the hell is the fun in that?
Maybe it's just me. - CoreyTamas, on 02/17/2009, -2/+8Reading your comment history, I can see that you are a bit inconsistent.
And by "inconsistent" I mean "*****-flinging ***** crazy". - zebragrrl, on 02/17/2009, -0/+5but now you can AFFORD them.
- cptmichael101st, on 02/17/2009, -0/+5That's the evil nazi, not sean connery
- Linake, on 02/17/2009, -0/+4The evil nazi is ripped as a lego figurine.
- Torx, on 02/17/2009, -0/+4"He no nuts, he's crazy!"
- DouglasQ, on 02/17/2009, -1/+5God ***** damn it, it's pluralised "LEGO"!
- Philbert, on 02/17/2009, -0/+3In these close up pictures it looks like these no longer have the sharp edges and jagged corners that constantly damaged my knuckles as a child.
- joshf52, on 02/17/2009, -0/+3Hang on lady, we going for a ride
- 1337Einstein, on 02/17/2009, -1/+4Sure, I can vote, buy tobacco and liquor, watch porn, have hypothetical sex without my hypothetical partner becoming a hypothetical sex offender(as I am non-hypothetically a digg user), but I'd give it all up just to be a kid playing with LEGO again.
- ciano, on 02/17/2009, -0/+3Why give it up? Just be an adult fan of LEGO.
- inactive, on 02/17/2009, -0/+3Its just like having an imagination, but Hollywood did it for you!
- tgc1, on 02/17/2009, -0/+3Nicely done.
"We named the dog Indiana" - feelmypimphand, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2The devil and Ms. Jones
- Philbert, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2Even back in the day they did that a lot. I remember a pirate set I had that had a palm tree where you could put the trunk together, but the leaves were specially shaped pieces.
- lordwow, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2These jokes are AFOL.
- imronburgundy83, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2Wow. It was awesome growing up watching the old Indiana Jones movies. Now I've got responsibilities. Blaaaah.
- ToYKillAS, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2cool, i actually have too much money to spend in expensive Lego figurines
- jeexbit, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2That's a big wrench...
- Bushrod, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2These are cool.
1) Doesn't the set with the motorcycle already have Dr Jones?
2) The young Anakin Skywalker is already short. This is not "new heights." - 8ballblack, on 02/17/2009, -2/+4Sean Connery is ripped as a lego figurine
- Chinzon, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2"Why d'ya think I mailed it to ya in the fursht plasche? Sho it wouldn't fall into their handsh!"
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2Thatshsh for blashshphemy...
- xenmaster4, on 02/17/2009, -1/+3What's with the German plane? The wings are almost completely smooth and only have Lego connectors on a few spots for the figures to stand on. While the look of the finished model is impressively accurate, it feels like cheating for the designer to have used such a custom wing-piece. I don't see a piece like that being used in some custom creation down the line - it'll always just be the wing off that one German plane. A talented Lego designer would have done the whole thing from component parts rather than using one-shot smooth plastic pieces (the old magnetron starships didn't have molded plastic wings).
</rant> - imronburgundy83, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2You're spam *****.
- cptmichael101st, on 02/17/2009, -1/+3This may date me, but I remember when Lego sets didn't have their own unique pieces and you had to build stuff with your imagination.
- RobotKeaton, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2"I should've mailed it to the Marx Brothers!"
- j3rm1981, on 02/17/2009, -0/+2Why would you even ask that question?
If you're actually sheltered enough NOT to have seen "Temple of Doom", you should immediately chastise your parents and demand to sit through the trilogy back-to-back.
But...why wouldn't you just Google it?
Jeebus! Kids are lazy these days. Time was, if you didn't know something, you wouldn't look it up in a boring old book, you'd use the Interwebs! All that information right at your fingertips!
And anyway, isn't it faster to look it up yourself? In the time took to write your lazy-assed, ignorant, grammatically incorrect comment (it's Short Round, not short round), nevermind waiting for a reply, you could have looked it up yourself, had your answer...hell, probably watche the film...and made a comment that got a giggle instead of a groan!
"I keep telling you, you listen to me more, you live longer!" - AmyVernon, on 02/17/2009, -1/+3This "AmyVemon" person is an impostor, btw and has been reported to Digg support. Again...
- mcwattersm, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1Or you can play the Lego Indiana Jones video game. 2% less lame.
- crossmr, on 04/28/2009, -0/+1No you don't. Actually your sentence makes no sense. "Lego sets didn't have their own unique pieces and you had to build stuff with your own imagination". Even without "unique pieces" there were still plenty of lego sets before you were born.
Heck this shell gas station is from the year you were born, and it has plenty of "unique pieces"

Like shell doors for the truck. Shell stickers, and the girl is wearing a shell shirt. - inactive, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1Connery? looks more like G. Gordon Liddy!
http://meaningfuldistractions.files.wordpress.com/ ... - j3rm1981, on 02/18/2009, -0/+1~realises the hypocrisy and irony of the fact that his own comment is grammatically incorrect~
- blackfog, on 02/17/2009, -3/+3I misread the title and thought this was going to be an article about MiniFags...I'm quite disappointed.
- twoblackeyes, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1dugg!
- ezekiel2600, on 02/17/2009, -2/+3I love legos. These are so cool.
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1Baggkh....short round... Where's Lego Data?
- Gr00ver, on 02/17/2009, -3/+4That no cookie!
- inactive, on 02/17/2009, -2/+3I don't get Lego Indy. Lego Star Wars works because the ships and vehicles from Star Wars are SO recognizable, that even mongoloid lego versions are still instantly recognizable.
Lego Indy looks like any number of old 80s Lego sets. Some of them might be. - adkenc, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1i read it as Papa John's. mmm, pizza.
- Hoogie7Dowser, on 02/17/2009, -0/+1NO MOH PARACHUTES!
- smittyfree, on 02/18/2009, -0/+1Unless you have loans and bills so then maybe not.
- dden45, on 02/18/2009, -0/+1Short Round > Young Anakin Skywalker by a long shot.
- smittyfree, on 02/18/2009, -0/+1Well, you can build the set the way it's supposed to, then you tear it apart and rebuild it with l@zor cannons and radar dishes! LEGO ftw.
