    I think the only Phasma merch that's out, or at least that I've seen, has been a Pop Vinyl figure. Nothing else. Same as there's no Han yet, no Leia. There's Luke Skywalker in his Kylo Ren outfit (honestly, anyone who thinks Luke is Kylo is a moron and should be mocked accordingly).

    I agree she's awesome, and that's why they're holding her back.

    Of course Luke is Kylo Ren. Just like Padme became Boba Fett after ROTS, and girls don't buy action figures.

    I don't buy the figures because I become OCD about it. Before I know it is be hunting down a TPM Jar Jar on eBay and paying $2.54 for it.

    I only have the Lego Falcon. If I was going to get any new Lego, it would be Rey's speeder. Because Rey.

    I want the Lego Falcon, maybe more than I want the Lego Death Star.

    I'll probably get Rey's speeder eventually.

    *stares at Big Ben that she has not built yet*

    This is so true. I'm going to a LEGO convention this Saturday and much willing money will depart my wallet.

    As far as retired SW sets go, I covet the Sand Crawler.

    And if you have an unbuilt LEGO means you aren't using your time correctly!

    It's the best. I reach a certain serenity when building, and huge satisfaction When I'm finished. If LEGO had been invented at the precise moment Alcohol was, there would be no alcoholics.

    Are you familiar with the term "shoplifting"?

    Yep. Rich people can't acknowledge oppression.

    Yes, because releasing her as a single figure that will be sent to all stores, instead of in a set limited to one store is a fringe thing.

    Yes, the fact that this individual man is rich completely negates the fact that 27% of African-Americans are living in poverty. And it's totally unheard of to protest things that affect other people more than they do yourself.

    I like how slave Leia icons are becoming a quick reference. Could all the... er, anti-political correctness people adopt them? It would be helpful.

    My only unbuilt Lego set is the big huge Millennium Falcon. I bought it when it first came out and put it away until I had the time (and space) to build it. Flash forward to the present day where I have enough time (and plenty of space) for the darn thing, and I don't want to open the box because a sealed UCS Falcon is bringing in anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000 on eBay....

    Rich people acknowledging oppression is fine. But rich people claiming to be oppressed? Well, let's call this one the ultimate 1st world problem.

    Seriously the last page an a half has been all spoilers for me. At least I assume so. I'm trying to block Ep7 stuff out and you're not helping!

    White privilege has nothing to do with wealth.

    Not sure what this has to do with misogyny, entitlement, and nerds, though.

    He brought it up in reference to another topic that has nothing to do with misogyny, entitlement and nerds and should have been in the racism thread to begin with.

    Ah... well, I guess we can play BINGO in this thread, too... if we must. I mean, I'd prefer to post on topic, but hey...

    Again, not really sure why this is in the Misogyny thread and not the Black Men thread.
