peculiar23 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 A friend who knows I am a huge Lego Fan sent me this and I thought it was too good not to share. www.xkcd.com/1281/ After I saw it my first thought was I wonder what the curves for People who are Lego collectors and People who are Lego investors would look like on this graph.

I saw this earlier today, and it was very interesting to see the chart. In 2019, there will be one minifigure for every human. How awesome is that!

MartinP Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 SO.... you are saying they are going to overtake us all. Only if they come to life, like the toys did in the Toy Story movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafrog Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's awesome. And scary. I am not prepared for a Lego Minifig Apocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 That's awesome. And scary. I am not prepared for a Lego Minifig Apocalypse. It is quite easy to defeat them. All you have to do is step on them, but I do not think anyone here would do such a thing to a Lego minifigure on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepping on them causes the greatest pain known to humankind, including childbirth and getting your car insurance bill! Never step on them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, to defeat them, we'd have to heard them into boiling vats of plastic to melt them back down to ABS. Of course, then that would ruin most of my investments, so how about we just submit to their obvious superiority. What do ya'll prefer...ruled by a LEGO Yoda minifigure, or...the US government?

I would prefer being ruled by a Lego Yoda minifigure. Yoda is very wise, and he could probably give all of ut tips on how to improve out Lego investment.

segreto Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 SO.... you are saying they are going to overtake us all. Keep an eye out for Lego nanotech A.I. insertion devices on Kickstarter. When that happens, it is all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I say we sell them all to China. Did you see their Olympic opening ceremony? Crazy organized. They can handle a few rebellious minifigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Huh, and here I thought they already outnumbered us. I wonder how many of them are 1980's astronauts with a broken chin guard on their helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinP Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Ha ha...It already has that name, doesn't it? I mean unofficial name... It is an unofficial name that I read somewhere on Brickpicker. Who knows, maybe TLG would rename the set in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
