State of the Game

Do them in Lego. Nothing beats waking up to a 110 stud wide Asp Scout*

*YMMV- I am technically insane


depends on if that lego model can be picked up...and you can swing it around in the air and go "pew pew" with another ship without the model falling apart from the stress.

3d printed models are quite durable as well as detailed.
 

Go all in and get some third party weapons that'll really set them off.

Edit: Thanks for that link im gonna post some of those pics on my imaginary Tinder profile to show the ladies that I'm a bad boy.
 
I imagine anything that mentions space is a trigger point for them and pirates.
My 2 display ideas were space and pirates.
One guy launched in to one about no coronation street sets - for 30 mins.

If you ever go to a show, make sure you've got an exit strategy for each conversation.


The best thing to do on r/lego is to post a link to this for all the illiterate kids:

Lego wants you to think that calling their stuff legos is grammatically incorrect because of trademark concerns. Like the name tupperwear and other brand names that became synonymous with the item type ... once a term becomes common-use the brand loses their trademark to it. They have to protect it and fight it to keep it.

Trying to hate on legos at the language level has nothing to do with them not being legos ...it's just a means of trying to convince society to not use their brand name to reference the general product that they're defacto known for representing.

They wont fool people though with their marketing brainwashing. It's a losing battle to villainize legos.

Go away.
 
On a serious note, it's common etiquette for the mods to lock a thread if the OP requests it. Would that still count for this partially sentient thread if OP were to ask that it be locked?

Partly that.
and partly 'legos' doesn't make any sense to anyone that's not a 5 year old midwestern hick in a trailer.

It's literally identical to the use of calling all plastic bags with a zip type closing mechanism "ziploc" or all plastic food storage, tupperwear etc. no difference at all.
