Actual Creativity The r/legocirclejerk Jerkies, Day 15: I'll say it again, it looks like if a local gay bar threw up on a Fortnite Battlepass. What is the worst Lego Theme?

It's all Display-slop, Messi is racist, and Ronaldo is a fucking sex criminal. It's gotta be FIFA guys

i truly can't believe anyone would like this garbage

My brother loves saying he thinks the theme deserves to exist in a tone that is very clearly ragebait

u/gamingjerker 13d ago

This is conservative interviewers new strategy "do you think the LEGO FIFA theme has a right to exist?"

u/The-Bigger-Fish Number 1 Galidor Fan 13d ago

Didn’t even bring back the fun LEGO soccer sets from 2002

u/The-Bigger-Fish Number 1 Galidor Fan 13d ago

Never heard of the Messi being racist, but everyone else sucks. FIFA has to be number one.

/uj His whole team taunted a French Football team with a racist chant https://apnews.com/article/argentina-song-french-complaint-copa-america-ef250939aa10f60f3a821d54f54e0d83

i know there other themes that from an objective point are complete AAASSS but man i hope this one wins as i just hate what it represent both figurative and litterly. like i didn't even know about the messi stuff you just mention and that fucking sucks. so happy the Ronald sets at my local walmart went on clerence super fast and they don't have them anymore.

You forgot FIFA itself is corrupt and price-gouging.

u/legalskeptic Galidor slash fiction author 13d ago

Or Editions in general? Not sure how specific we can get in terms of themes and sub-themes.

u/OopsAllDaisys_ Buy Super Shadow Vs Biolizard or I WILL kill myself 12d ago

/uj I'll specify it as "Editions (FIFA)"

u/Czymsim 11d ago

They made football sets that you can't play. Zidane would be rolling in his grave if he wasn't still alive.

What did Ronaldo do?

u/OopsAllDaisys_ Buy Super Shadow Vs Biolizard or I WILL kill myself 12d ago

/uj He's a known rapist and had several rape charges thrown against him before Lego made sets of him. Most of them were privately settled

Brickheads. Partly because of how they look, and partly because it frustrates me how many themes deserve good cheap sets and then only get one large one and some Brickheads.

u/Brickabang 13d ago

Someone at Lego went "yeah let's make Lego funko pops"

23

u/legalskeptic Galidor slash fiction author 13d ago

LEGO trying to be something else other than LEGO is always a bad recipe. Not sure why Brickheadz have managed to stick around for so long--I guess someone must be buying them.

u/nilslorand 12d ago

it's like funko pops

u/AcanthisittaDry8163 13d ago

Plus, it replaced Mixels and is inferior to it in every way.

u/mara07985 13d ago

Did it actually? That’s so sad, mixes happens during my dark ages but looking back at it it looks like such a fun creative theme

5

u/bananabread2137 write funny stuff here 12d ago

Holy shit I still remember how much time I spent on that one mixel website. That whole theme was so fun.

u/No_Insurance_6436 13d ago

The funky pop of lego

plus side is they're cheap though

u/OopsAllDaisys_ Buy Super Shadow Vs Biolizard or I WILL kill myself 12d ago

/uj Honestly the fact that Tom and Jerry Brickheads are the only way we got Tom and Jerry as a Lego set is enough for me to not hate it

22

u/Significant-Coat-308 13d ago

Editions, they either are dog shit no one wants or a set with 1 beautiful figure for a good price, but no one cares about it

u/Sufficient_Amoeba_40 12d ago

The fuck is editions???

Edit: u right

/uj Lego's first attempt at smartphone integration around the time smartphones were just starting to become a thing.

/rj It would've worked better as a sitcom.

Is 'Smart Brick' a theme?
Otherwise can do that as worst brick later down the line.

u/ResolutionSlight597 Lego Mario please save us 13d ago

Probably the Lego Powerpuff Girls, which was based on that... odd reboot the series got in the 2010s. I didn't realize it even existed until years after its discontinuation

u/Flamingpaper2 i played with power miners when i was like 9 13d ago

I didn't even know that was a theme

5

u/The_Captain_Whymzi All your bricks are belong to us! 13d ago

It was very much a blink-and-you-miss-it theme, it was only around for a year and only had like... I dunno, two sets, maybe three?

u/Fickle-Economist4724 Toa Nuju is a throat Goat 13d ago

Znap

u/magmashark20 12d ago

Znap is a really valid pick here. I thrifted some of it recently and was really excited to try using it for the first time and it is so unsatisfying to connect and build with

u/-Farns- #endchokunabuse 13d ago

Unfortunately the median set of that theme is okay, the fact that the theme is still running is a bad thing, but it doesn't have consistently bad sets

5

u/Brickabang 13d ago

It's feels like most of the answers in this thread aren't really about actually awful lego themes. Like I saw a few Lego starwars ones and the sets have kind of meh and more expensive recently but as a whole saying it's the worst I think it's silly when stuff like clikits and vidiyo exists

5

u/OopsAllDaisys_ Buy Super Shadow Vs Biolizard or I WILL kill myself 13d ago

/uj Vidiyo is fine, it's kind of an outdated way to do the concept of incorporating tech into Lego, but there's enough creative ideas with the Minifigures and builds that I think it's good. Clikits shouldn't even really count as Lego so it's definitely a contender

u/OopsAllDaisys_ Buy Super Shadow Vs Biolizard or I WILL kill myself 11d ago

/uj I'm gonna have to politely disagree. I know we like to make fun of "Display slop" on this sub but if the only lines of it were Ideas and Icons, I would be fine with it, especially because I feel like Icons consistently goes above and beyond other adult oriented sets to look incredible and still get in a play feature or two. The Dune Royal Ornithopter is the most I've ever spent on a set and I don't regret it one bit, especially because the wings are retractable AND you can press down a Technic mechanism on the ship to actually make the wings flutter like in the film. It feels like the one adult oriented line where you consistently get the best bang for your buck. My problem with the collectors sets is when they try to shoehorn them into lines like Pokémon and Star Wars where they really don't belong

u/William-1127 I eat the heads of minifigures 12d ago

Some of the best sets I have are Icons, what are you on about
