And then there's closely related Venn diagram of any-color-will-work-lego-house people vs. single-color-walls people
EDIT: the current two child comments are of parts in that diagram, great. No judgement, I just wonder what type my son is going to be :-)
- teekert 5y agoHaha, didn't even realize the second kind existed until I watched my wife build from the big bucket with my son, I was like "What is THIS?"
- ethbr0 5y agoThat's the core beauty of Lego, I think. There are so many meta games one can decide to play with a single bucket, and at least one caters to pretty much everyone under the sun. And then you get amazing synergies when people who play differently combine their efforts. Which is one of the reasons I'll admit I cried during the first Lego movie ending. They nailed that aspect.
- teekert 5y agoOk now I need to see that movie.
- ethbr0 5y agoI saw it on a plane, and IMHO it was way better than it needed to be. Tip: Just kind of relax into the goofiness and have fun, but make sure you watch the entire movie if you start
- ragebol 5y agoSaw the 1st Lego movie on a plane once, did not expect to tear up. Spaceship!
- criddell 5y agoI never understood the any-color-will-work people. When you were a kid and were painting something, did you cover all surfaces do random blotches of color?
- pbhjpbhj 5y agoBad analogy: If you dipped your brush in the pot and it came out a random one of a small selection of colours, would you wash it off until you got the "right" colour when the only requirement was to put paint on the paper?
- pavon 5y agoI know! I remember as a child spending forever digging through the Lego pile looking for the right color. I had to reluctantly teach myself that it was okay to build with any color first and then go back and swap out with matching colors afterwards once I was happy with my design.
- cout 5y agoThink of it like dithering. Not all of us could afford full 24 bit color displays and had to make do with 256 or 16 colors or 8 colors instead. Sometimes the right color brick isn't there and it's better to have the odd colors spread throughout the whole thing than one brick that's off.
