Something I’ve noticed is that The criminal is always white or yellow for this matter. But if the prisoner character was black, they would say it was racist.

That is funny the city is under martial law lol 😆! Well, it’s understandable when there’s not enough of civilian non paramilitary forces such as cops, firefighters and the people To heal others then it will raise some questions.

You have to admire Lego kingdom set for having civilian sets in my opinion. I might have repeated this again sorry if I do, but I was not really into Medieval history Until I was 13 when me and my twin brother started playing outside As we mimicked Rome Medieval total war it was that point I became interested in LEGO kingdoms

The LEGO minifigure criminals are the typical criminals you see in cartoons: bearded and has golden teeth.

Cobi on the other hand, dared defy what can be considered sensitive:

As for Kingdom sets, I enjoyed them from 2010. A more realistic take on the Medieval Age compared to Castle (2007) since this one did not feature wizards and dragons.

gillan1220, It would be a better, more balanced idea if they had a multi-racial crime gang running from the cops, which could be recruited by all races.

When it comes to thinking about things in depth, especially applying things to be PC, especially toys, you can both laugh and appreciate it and get frustrated over time.

There are pros and cons to adults in Legos or any industry for that issue. Also, current inflation has kept legos more expansive as the general economy struggles. I am looking at how much a Lego mini kit costs it use to be $2.49 and it use to be lego mini kits that ceased in production now they actually have gon e up because adjusting to inflation they would be $4.88 and now they are $5.00

Okay going to step in, let keep the discussion to the toys, instead of the things that are hidden behind.

The castle set theme After kingdom was not bad it just wasn’t as good as the more historical accurate Lego Kingdoms theme Which were loved.

This set would’ve done better before kingdoms

Scored the following custom minifigures.

The Minifig Co's Ukrainian infantryman from 2022. Took me two years to find it from resellers.


Brickmania Desert Storm U.S. Army infantryman
I missed out the Cold War infantryman in M81 Woodland so I got this one instead. Kinda pricy but I had to snipe it because it's rare and retired.


Brick Creator SAS Nairobi Operator. Paid a good deal for this since it's going to be a best seller. Just like above, I had to snipe it while it is still available.

This is a YouTube classic!

I also love the use of 90s Castle sets. It is pleasing to the eye seeing those color palettes.

I got this set in 2010! Fun times!

Although I do regret passing on the Ostrich race set. Those darn ostrich figures are super rare nowadays.

  I would consider that excessive.

  I visit some friends for Christmas and its been a tradition that all three of us do a Lego during the Christmas day feast.  It started when my mate Chaz's wife Sarah was still alive and she bought the pair of us and their daughter Charlotte a set to do.  Hell of a shock to me the 1st time as I didn't have any warning and am gifted with 10 thumbs - not to mention having a stinking cough that 1st time.  Unfortunately Sarah passed away a couple of years back and I've been buying the Lego's since.  With my eyesight definitely deteriorating I nearly didn't get myself one this year but have a small one.  Because I left it late there wasn't a lot left so ending up buy a couple of large ones, ~800 pieces and marked as 18+.  Have to see how they handle those and whether I can still manage my small one.

Man, only the super wealthy can pay to play with that.

People complain about Brickmania being excessive with the most expensive set being a Roman Empire building for $600. BKM got the hint and actually lowered it to $500 and now at $450 but that's still very expensive money.

This $1,000 set makes Brickmania look so kind in comparison.
