Honestly, that's weirded me out too.
But I think Thomas x Transformers is on a whole other level

Ah, now Lego Starwards is different. That ish actually works!
I mean, who can deny the coolness of this?


Plus, Lego + anything that's already cool = something even cooler!
Case in point?
1/40 scale Lego Battleship Yamato with full Lego Man crew!

Hahhaha, it's kind of creepy with the Thomas head sticking out of the chest, lol


I don't know how this could be seen as racist, even if you weren't Chinese. China is known to mass produce a lot of things and with mass production comes lower quality... Look around, go grab the cheapest pen, plastic wear, shirt, or even book and you'll notice that they are ALL made in China... China also makes some really nice quality pieces but it's not nearly as common as the cheap mass production industry that China has a tight grip on... It's easy money for them and it's cheaper for us, so as consumers we win but in terms of economy, we lose.
