Found one today
gonna flip it on eBay http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2013/04/01/report-lego-to-stop-production-of-star-wars-set-due-to-anti-muslim-backlash/ |

I wish I had time to GAF about this, but my nation is on the verge of a financial collapse and they are stripping me of my rights.
|

Yep, I scored one from Toys R Us, wanted to grab a couple but they were limiting one per customer. Should turn a nice profit in a few weeks.

" It depicts Muslims as terrorists."
Actually, I think it's all the Muslim terrorists that depict Muslims as terrorists. Idiots. |

Quoted: Yep, I scored one from Toys R Us, wanted to grab a couple but they were limiting one per customer. Should turn a nice profit in a few weeks. Toys R Us here wanted too much fucking money they were almost 2x more than WM or Target refuse to price match unless you bring in a newspaper ad Another shitty thing Target is way cheaper on their website but will not price match if it is out of stock online WM was same price store and website |

Hopefully I can grab one in the morning, sometimes working 24 hours suck!

Quoted: You fuckers are panic buying legos? Really? No , I am selling them to panic buyers on eBay |

I must've missed it. Why is this offensive again? Does it look like a mosque? Not well versed in Star Wars either.
(Aside from the fact that they love to get butthurt about anything) |

“The game is pedagogical dynamite. It depicts Muslims as terrorists.”
Oh, the irony. |

Coming soon: the re-re-re-re-remastered Return of the Jedi, where Jabba's palace has been digitally altered to resemble a turkish bath.

Jabba seams highly disproportional to his palace.
Either that or he lived and grew larger than ever before! |

I'm pretty confident that 99% of muslims don't give the slightest shit about this - and this is the result of some tiny vocal group (or even individual) trying to make a big deal (sort of like those asshole atheists who want to sue about everything, than even other atheists can't stand).
Also, keep in mind that Lego is a Danish company, and Denmark has experienced how even a small number of muslims with no sense of humor can cause a lot of trouble - so they are going to be OVERLY careful. |

of course they neglect to mention that the mosque that is being offended against was first a Christian basilica

damn, missed out on this profit making opportunity. How do I keep tabs on what's offensive to muslims so I can make more $ in the future?

Fucking unreal. Let them die in a vat of bacon grease. No. Wasting of a good vat of bacon grease. |

My son got one for Christmas last year, but I'll admit, I picked up another one yesterday.

Under the agreement, that set will still be in production until 2014.
What I don't get are all the people buying at high prices on ebay when then set is in stock and shipping from Amazon at 119.99. FWIW - It was 89.99 late last week though. |

Does it matter that the imprisoned character resembles a mythical bigfoot creature? Where's the outrage towards shackles on the bigfoot?? |
