Unpopular Opinions about LEGO

I'm nitpicking here, but two of them were on the cheaper side and quite good value.

 

Anyways my unpopular opinion is that I want Lego Western back over any other classic theme. I don't care that it's "offensive" or whatever, as I've heard some people claim.

I think that Western would be very popular if brought back as a full theme with all the factions. The same people that find the theme offensive also find the Islanders from Pirates offensive and I can see no intelligent reason why they have that opinion. Both the Indians from Western and the Islanders from Pirates are portrayed as good guys or as a neutral faction and never as villains so I don't see any problems. Some say that the figures are not historically correct but neither are the Imperials (Soldiers and Guards) historically correct or the Vikings and Lego is a toy so again I see no problem with that. People are too sensitive nowadays.

I absolutely agree. I really enjoyed the Lone Ranger sets for what they were. I want it back for the same reason I want castle and pirates back. Anything "history" is going to be up my alley. Which makes sense seeing as history is my career.

It's probably just a reddit thing haha. I saw a post about bringing back Lego Western and all the comments complained about it not being Politically correct, hence why I no longer use reddit. I'm just annoyed we haven't even gotten an icons set, I know bringing back the full theme is totally unrealistic because modern Lego sucks.

I liked them too, although I didn't care much for the movie and would've preferred yellow figs.

It really does feel like an obvious omission, doesn't it? We got pirates, space, and castle, why not western? A Legoredo icons set ala Eldorado Fortress would be a no brainer.
