They've toed the line carefully, but this is nonsense and you won't be able to convince me otherwise. Plenty of lego sets project violence and violent actions more than an Osprey.
- elliekelly 6y agoSurely you can appreciate that there is a distinction between “violence” and “war”. A distinction that is evidently important to Lego since the company has a longstanding policy against producing sets that depict military vehicles and, to your point, a long history of producing sets that do indeed depict varying degrees of violence.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoExcept the Osprey isn't exclusively a war Craft. An apache would be. Have you flown commercial before? If so you've indirectly funded the Military in the same manner. Are we going to stop using commercial transport?
- angelbar 6y agoStop war, dont pay taxes.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoAlso, Lego has a history of having produced SPECIFIC military vehicles. https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/sopwith-camel-10226 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/sopwith-camel-10226 https://brickset.com/sets/10024-1/Red-Baron https://brickset.com/sets/10024-1/Red-Baron
- hatsunearu 6y agoDamn, it even has very obvious machine guns.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoLove guns <3 Usually the next comment is.. but that was long ago. Which is so Ironic give the other hot bed issues about things from long ago. People just want to be outraged for any reason. That in turn creates more outrage. I'll buy the Mould King / Lepin (whatever they're branded as now) model and be done with it.
- rbanffy 6y agoThere is a non-zero chance of a kid seeing the Lego brand on a box with a vehicle the foreigners who killed their friends used to invade their country. While most Americans see their military as a force for good, that sentiment is not echoed everywhere. Not all people are grateful for being "liberated" that way. I can understand why Lego would not want that.
