Found a surprise

[Juke]

I went through a box of Legos that my mother gave me from when I was young. I thought it just had some adventurers and bionicle. But then I found this gem.

Hahaha, yes. it's must be done just like this: LEGO. it's just need to remove the s. See this.

It sounds weird to say "I found a box of LEGO". But alright

[LiLmeFromDaFuture]

Sounds better as "I found a box full of LEGO!"

Then you could just add on to that:

… "Full of LEGO pieces!"

Or

… "Full of LEGO sets!"

Or

… "Full of LEGO minifigures!"

After years of searching, I think I've finally found the Kings and Queens of pedantry.

Lego should be capital, and you should have put a question mark.

You forgot your second period.

Fixed it.

Technically, it should be theater, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice^TM​.

You forgot to capitalize the I and you also forgot your second period.

I AM THE KING OF PEDANTRY! (If a mod sees this can I get that as a tag?)

^The droid won this one as there was no Qui-Gon, just his light saber.

Amazing finds!!! I always wonder how much stuff like that is hidden in people's garage's or storage units!!!

[Junior Shark]

I have the Skiff, AT-ST, Qui-Gon Jinn door and Droid Escape Pod. They were among my first Lego sets ever. Ahhh, memories. Congrats on those killer finds!

I had these plus the original Slave I. Wish I would have found that one too

What is a period? They are called full stops.

In the novel Frankenstein, the creature that Dr. Frankenstein brings to life is not given a name (he does refer to himself as the doctor's "Adam," but this is generally considered to be a metaphor rather than a proper name). When people refer to him as "Frankenstein," there is always someone at the ready with, "Um, I think you mean Frankenstein's monster." But here's the thing: at no point in the novel is he actually referred to as a monster. So those "Frankenstein's monster" people are also wrong. In a sense, they are more wrong, by virtue of the fact that they're so convinced they're right and have the authority to correct others.

Not that any of that has anything to do with this discussion.

Hey, I have that one too! It and the OG X-Wing set are still built and currently on display. They're the only vintage Star Wars sets I display.

[jhaelego]

These are some good finds! Truly classic.

I think you're pretty on point.

Great finds!

I saw it argued recently that since the creature is essentially Dr. Frankenstein's 'son' from a certain point of view, and has the name "Adam", he could conceivably be thought of as "Adam Frankenstein" making it a-ok to refer to him as just "Frankenstein"

Great finds! I still have that old skiff, as well as probably everything from the original A-wing, B-wing, X-wing, and Snowspeeder sets (even the boxes for at least 3 of those, as they had the cardboard trays which make 'em pretty useful for storing loose bricks). I had a few other old sets, too, but their pieces are likely far more scattered among my Lego...

[MKJoshA]

It's Legos. Just get over it. What Lego tells us to call things doesn't matter. And cool finds!
