    Know that feeling of stepping on a LEGO brick? How about you do that all the time in the stylings of Crocs? It’s a lose-lose!

        I assume the edges are still sharp as fuark. The little nubs aren’t the issue. They might even be kinda nice

    LEGO is deviating from its roots. The Technics line is a joke now, mostly collectables.

      Lego used to make modulex, for businesses. They released glue with it also.

      They have for a whole. Their whole business model was having a patent. When that ran out, the predictable happened.

      I mean their quality was already going down hill in the lead-up to the patent end. Everyone else being allowed to compete on even ground just showed how bad their quality had actually become.

        Are you serious? I’d argue their quality control is still leagues better than the competition, what makes you say otherwise?

          Yes, in serious. I’m personally not much of a Lego collector and/or builder, but two close friends of mine are. They were big Lego fans and collectors for most of our lives (decades). I’d say 10-15 years ago they started to complain about declining QC and just generally lower quality. Molds were clearly used for much longer, parts having worse tolerance and either not fitting well or being lose. Then the creative side also got worse, with kits just not meeting previous standards either. Clearly just being cranked out for the sake of releasing something, often under license (Star wars, marvel or whatever).

          Then when the patent ran out, some (select few) of the alternatives started to gain favor. Unfortunately I don’t remember who, but I can ask next time I see either of them. Not saying everything they make is great, but actually less problems with gas parts, and some kits are apparently just like old Lego.

    There better be a diamond plated 2x2 square lego piece at the center so that when I slip into one of these I can feel the authentic thousand fold pain of regret instantly shoot right through me.

    Real question, are they compatable? (the shoes look big for lego, but duplos might work)

    All of legos systems interlock, the studs on duplos will fit a standard 2x2.
