In recognition of everything that’s going on right now, LEGO’s actions for #BlackOutTuesday involved not just a $4 million donation to organisations devoted to racial equality, but a request for sellers to not advertise any sets involving police or the White House.

I may never buy a set again.
Same here.
Now we politicize LEGOs. How dumb is that?
How about a lego set with George Floyd sticking a gun into a pregnant womens belly can we sell that set?
Or how about the ever so fun Antifa set complete with mini moltov cocktails.
Mankind is lost and pointless. Not worth finding.

LEGO has been in our family for generations. No more.
Me too
How do you know this true and not a fake news story?
No more stepping on this shit in the middle of the night again for me. Pound it into oblivion with hammers.
Cowards, maybe they can put together a set of pajama boys and pillow biters. Call it the Antifa playset.
This is the Democrat/Left Party’s last stand against Trump’s re-election. To them, it’s all or nothing ... they’re all-in and will stop at nothing ... even if they destroy —or try to destroy our Republic. If this isn’t clear, then nothing will ever be clear.
Ijsanity
I was planning to get a Lego set for my girls. Not now.
Glad I was too old for the whole lego thing.
Someone at LEGO has been sniffing way too many LEGO pieces
It’s very clear to me.
Seems like the goal of 2020 is to simply survive.
