I did – they couldn’t afford to let us play with their toys most of the time
Do we have a Space Force yet though?
There are quite a few Space Cadets in the Dail.
I think somebody needs to have a quiet, friendly chat with Lego about plastic and the environment.
It’s reusable, again and again and again and again and again and harmless until you stand one while shoeless

Lego’s use of fossil fuel-based raw materials has been a dirty little secret for many years now
interesting to see that the right-on parents keep on truckin’ buying all those nice expensive sets for their lil’ Ossain’s & Fiachradh’s up in Smyths there (for themselves really tho innit…oh oh lets keep the box so we can auction it off on ebay as a vintage). how quick a child’s demands melts the snowflakey ideals, wha? presumably the new 70 grand EV on the driveway will offset that ;)
(I believe in all fairness Lego are making a token effort to manufacture with sustainable materials like sugarcane but you won’t be seeing that in their regular offerings for a long time. and when the switchover eventually arrives good luck trading in your bad plastic for your good plastic….you should see the hoops they make you jump thru if you discover your shiny new set is short a part?! pah!)

While it’s admirable how Lego have continued to grow as a company over the decades, it’s sad that their growth has been at the cost of creativity. Lego sets like this are not complex, it’s simple building a monotone structure by following the instructions. There is little room for creative deviation for kids.
Do you really think this is for kids?
There are other sets for building from the imagination. Can’t one do both.
