Lol. Please!
They just don't want to be on the wrong side politically. That's all. They'd have released this thing if no one had complained, because like most companies, all they really care about is making money.
Pure pandering at its most blatant.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoIt's ok, because now it's cool to be a woke brand.. until it's not.
- baddox 6y agoWhy do you think there is something wrong with responding to a petition?
- ganoushoreilly 6y ago100%. It's just modern virtue signaling outrage. No one pressed them to cancel these sets when released? How many kids bought these and decided to go out and attack people with Bi-Planes? 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
- baddox 6y agoBoth of those sets seem to be no longer sold.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoYes, they discontinue them after a year or two. The point made is this is a 2010 policy everyone is referencing about a vehicle that has no overt military connection in design. Where as the Sopwith for example, is a set released in 2012, that is explicitly related to the military and specifically to WWI. I'm just pointing out that the Osprey isn't a big deal. It's a VTOL that happens to be used by the military. There are hundreds of sets that could be seen as more violent that are made today, many you could argue break this rule.
