Honestly, I feel like it's a lose-lose situation. Right now, we're doing the "hindsight 20/20" where we see how we should have handled it, but if we took these measures a month ago, people would be screaming even more how much of an overreaction we're making, especially when it was zero-to-few confirmed cases in US at the time. Half the country will always be upset with choices made, one way or the other.

Mods, Can we please move a lot of the politics and memes to a new thread? Say Moronavirus or like that. We clearly have a group within this thread that don't believe in the coronavirus, let rhem.move to that thread..this will.keep a lot of the politics our of it. This will filter the garbage, early on in the thread it was productive. We can agree to disagree but cut all the bs out of the thread.

Decided to rebuild one of my all-time favorites to boost my morale. What a beauty! I love the classic advanced models, though I am not fortunate enough to have many of them. I am thankful that I have this one, it is a fantastic display piece and one of my favorite sets.

I’m quarantining myself from this thread, lol.

what I do or do not post has nothing to do with the fact that you seem to have an unreasonable urge to share every dumb thing you find. good message boards get turned into garbage when people like you run amok. maybe be a little selective.

I think everyone is strategically ignoring what they want to, to further their own arguments. Let me go find a link that bolster's my opinion, brb!.

Everyone this thread was great for days, people sharing good information about what is going on in their area, affecting their lives, facts about the issue at large. Lets not let this get stupid. Yes some fun is good, but 90% of the last 30 posts are garbage.

Two things that I have learned over the 4 years or so of this political divide are : A- you will not change anyone's mind over the internet and probably not even in person B-you don't have to lose your civility over this and if you take a step back you can make some great friendships with people who you dont see eye to eye with politically. At the end of the day , politicians make up and kiss on a daily basis while relationships can be ruined for ever. Uncle BA has spoken

can you take this crap to reddit or some other garbage site & stop spamming this thread? If I wanted marginally amusing memes I'd ask my 12 year old to find some for me

Wisconsin is on lock down mode. I’m all stocked up on bratwurst and cheese curds. [emoji1303] I’m looking forward to spending my Trump money on Lego. There should be some pretty good sales in the near future once this blows over.

Stuck at home with the kids. Wandered down into the lego store and said why not. Never built a falcon before.

Thanks @BrickLegacy for sharing this

This certainly triggers me b/c you are so caught upon name calling you still fail to recognize he was over a month or two even, late, @NIevo. Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China.” As the coronavirus spread in China and the first US case was reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on January 21. Trump was asked during an interview with CNBC on January 22 if he had any worries about the situation escalating into a pandemic. He said he did not.Trump made this comment on the CNBC show “Squawk Box” during an interview with Joe Kernen at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. At the time, there were 500 cases reported in China and the first had just been recorded in the United States. Feb. 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China. It’s going to be fine.” Trump made this comment on the Fox News program “Hannity.” A few days prior to this interview, the Trump administration suspended entry to the United States of only foreign nationals who had recently visited China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau). This is around the date (Feb 2nd) we should have and could have reacted. Exchange students, families, vacationers, business, etc. all had already traveled home, spreading the virus. I understand being patriotic and defending our president. This one is defenseless in the terms of humanity. Repeated lies that will eventually result in deaths is no president of mine. Unbelievable people stand up for someone who would in turn kick them to the curb in a second. I hate talking politics but unfortunately a crewed nepotist business person muscled his way into Politics (facts no name calling) and his decisions are effecting our lives more than ever. As recently as Mar7th, the POTUS was telling reporters he was 'not concerned' about Covid-19's spread b/c 'we've done a great job'. Instead of treating Covid-19 more seriously, he actually made it a point to down play it. This isn't a discussion or even an argument, these are actual events. His administration is clearly acting in a way that has slowed down our response, EXPONENTIALLY!

That's great man, really happy for you, just don't forget you reached this greatness by f*cking the whole world up, putting yourself in the priority place & exploiting every weak country you could prey on 😉 congrats on that greatness, you can keep it, we don't want it. Stop acting like you guys built your empire, it was built at the expense of millions and today even billions of other people. So keep it cool with the patriotism or someone like me has to say a word or two about it.

Billed as an epic battle between good and evil...Unsurprisingly ended in a 0-0 tie:)

I believe the cancellation of March Madness let people know it was more serious than anything the government could say or do. Just so we use the right version of martial.

Thats the bigger issue, people just leaving the areas on lockdown to get away, possibly without knowing their own personal situation.

There is no teeth in any of this. Most of it is for the businesses to determine what is and isn't open.

I just watched it again over the weekend and had the exact same thought. For a Star Wars movie under Lucas, I felt like some of the special effects were phoned in.

Probably very easy to say from where you are sitting, the lack of empathy is oozing from your collective banter. Not sure about the EU, I dont think any of their leaders are spewing nonsense on twitter for the world to see. My logic is Nlevo is proud when POTUS closed the border and comparing the dates to EU as a "Who is right?'. Thats a child's argument and one should be left for the playground. Compared to me being ashamed of his timing when he knew about this as early as Jan21 and refused to mobilize. To stand by and be ok with our response as a nation is very dangerous and irresponsible. When people try to refute logic, deny facts or bend truths, an argument will arise 100% of the time.

I’m curious to know, too. I rewatched RO the other day, and I find that I love that film. At the moment, it’s #4 behind the OT. I haven’t watched the PT in ages. I really need to again.

I’m trying to follow your logic. So if the President was a month or two late, does that make the EU a month or two, plus 4 days late? Here’s where I think you are looking for conflict where none has to exist. I don’t see Nlevo denying the response time. Instead, I see the hypocrisy of EU countries saying one thing, and then backtracking days later. I see Nlevo calling that out. It feels like you’re the one getting caught up here. Ignoring that all governments didn’t react as quickly as we (in hindsight) would have liked them to act.

On a lighter note... our local restaurants are getting pretty inventive the past 2 weeks... Our local pizzeria has been delivering pizza kits for parents and children to make their own mini pies... drink specials for the parents... All sorts of out of the ordinary specials.

a single button click. Someone else here said they do this every year -> Pro during the X-mas period, Personal the rest of the year. I'm not worried it is going to hurt me.

It appears Atlanta ICU is almost at capacity. The southeast, while virtually doing no testing and no preventative measures, is going to see a large increase in hospitalizations. They may be about 1-2 weeks behind NYC. In Columbia, civil unrest has started. Easter timeline would be fantastic, but it isn't happening.

I just did a quick google search of the history of your country and let's just say that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones and leave it at that.

I'm fine with however the rest of the world wants to judge us, we'll just keep on being the greatest😉

Trump does a fine job degrading himself, the rest of the world just regards him as a drive-by car accident gawking

Wow, wasn't aware he had done such things. I'm having a hard time coming up with a single policy of his I have a problem with as do many AMERICANS, which is why he will be re-elected. Now an elegant speaker he is not, but a master level troller he is🤣

I combined the original thread with the new thread. I liked the original, and I like the final product. I know there's complaints about the differences, but I've always taken "Ideas" as just that - submissions shouldn't be finished products, but should be used as a springboard for LEGO to produce a real live LEGO set. I love that the original inspired the designers to come up with something really cool.

These two assholes got what they deserved...

and deprive your self from all the inappropriate terms, insults, mudslinging and racism ?

That guy in the bottom right corner seems to be thinking "Wow, I finally made it to second base".

Not necessarily, they're usually slightly better prices. As of this morning it seems as though you can no longer view the prices until you click each individual item.

I have fond memories of the hype surrounding Phantom Menace. Sure I was let down when I came out of the theater and marinated on it, but the experience of going to see the movies with high school buddies that were also Star Wars fans was one I still smile about. I didn't go see either other prequel in the theater so that says something about my enthusiasm after the movie. Not to mention the dialog.

What would have been an appropriate, or optimal, response and when? I'm not asking as a gotcha question, I'm legitimately curious what you would have liked to see done.

Or in the present day telling someone you play with LEGO's

I have a healthy concern for his ability to inflict widespread pain and suffering on people. Why don’t you?

There's been a lot of pirate themed sets lately. I'd love to take this, modify the Pirate Roller Coaster and Pirate Tree House, and have a pretty cool theme park area.

Hello from Fulfillment by Amazon, To ensure the capacity to receive, restock, and ship high-priority products like household staples and medical supplies, we have temporarily paused removal operations in some of our fulfillment centers. You can continue to create removal orders, but there will be delays in completing the requests. Similarly, auto-removals will be delayed. As a result, we are waiving the April 15 long-term storage fees for inventory stored in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic. You can review the status of your removal orders here and find more information on this Help page. Please note Selling Partner Support does not have further guidance. We know this is a change to your business and we did not make this decision lightly. We are working around the clock to increase capacity and appreciate your understanding as we temporarily prioritize household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand products for customers.

To each their own, but this is awesome IMO. The fact it is a 2-in1 makes it GREAT. Event the package is a throwback to the original Pirates, with the yellow border. If it only had an opening front flap, it would be perfect.

Just a brief update to let you in on what I have been up to. I have some of the main price guide pages laid out and starting to wire everything together to make those pages functional. I am using a new design so it takes time to lay it out and make sense. I am not trying for total perfection since I am trying to get the site out to every one as soon as possible and will push updates over time to add more and fix things. Next up will be the Brickfolio so that I can get the site active for you all to have access to your data again. Today I am actually working on updating the Amazon code. I received call from Amazon on Friday asking me to please upgrade and convert my code to their new API. I really appreciate that they did that. I have known about it and they sent quite a few emails, but the fact that they reached out was very cool. I need to get this done or they will shut down any of the code that helps the daily deals feed (whether you love or hate it).

In SF Bay Area (Yes post office is normal) the only notable difference is less traffic, takeout/delivery only for restaurants, some empty shelves in stores. Entertainment venues are closed including parks (which is lame). Trying to work from home and closed schools are everyone so not noting that

Official CMF S20 images have been released. These look great! https://brickset.com/article/49334/collectable-minifigures-series-20-official-images!
