However, an anniversary is a measure of years since whatever event is marked. 2017 was the eleventh year of the modulars, just as Assembly Square was the eleventh standard set; the set was also released approximately ten years after Cafe Corner. It's like how when you start going out with someone, you're into your first year, but you don't celebrate your first date like it's your first anniversary. In short, an anniversary marks the end of whatever year it takes place in, to count how many years it has been since the event occurred.
@SumoLego Yup. I know someone who celebrated at the end of year 2000 for that very reason.
The mouth of a Lego person's face is hardly reminiscent of a human, let alone an Asian.
Seems to answer the question of the oriental clothing if nothing else.
My predictions make me important.
That's why I don't understand people who don't like modulars without interiors. You've said it before, it's Lego make one!
I'll even confess that, once, I had an old TV sticker on the bricks (SOMP) from a Home Maker set that I had nothing better to do with so I put it inside either CC or GG as a joke to myself, I don't remember which and it's still there.
Oh, and I'm not sure everyone has popcorn...
For any toy company, controversy hurts sales. Even if the controversy is objectively ridiculous. If you are THE toy company, the target is very large.
(In this hyperbolic hair-on-fire-all-the-time world, it amazes me that Barbie and Disney Princesses survive with the level of scrutiny on 'traditional' gender roles, and that the body-shaming unrealistic form of superheroes and video game characters exist, and blah blah blah...)
Sci-Fi will always be able to avoid some of the scrutiny because it's fantasy.
Friends sets seem to lack gender balance. But I always find that argument facile because of the obvious history of the product being geared toward males. I found it funny to hear my daughter complaining that there aren't enough 'dudes' in Friends sets. I think that argument ought to be reserved until there is proportional representation and equal access.
I remember having a discussion with a trust fund baby who was bemoaning a Family Guy episode making fun of rich people not knowing the price of milk. (She had NO clue the cost of milk. She also missed the part of the joke implying they were completely out of touch, and had no idea what it was like to struggle.)
To be fair, if she was capable of holding a conversation with you, then she was probably very intelligent for her age. Not all of us babies are dumb, you know.
and on the subject of leaks, I hope we have some lookouts on Chinese social media
