Brickington Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Now our American users are pouring in! It is "About damn time." We Americans are the best! USA, USA, USA! This is the best decision the AmeriBricks staff as ever made!
just2good Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 It's 100% real. Events after Germany will alternate between Florida and California! Haha! I wish they would have events in Florida! There are literally no events in South Florida when it comes to LEGO! also im very proud of usa; This forum. great america the beutiful europe good too but amerioca great
Lobot Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm amazed at some of the posts... surely this your hobby (and supposed to fun?) I think that some members need to take anything said in this thread more in the spirit of things! I'm British & I've always been totally happy to make light of my own little, cold, damp, miserable country who's had delusions of grandure for far too long!! I'll admit that I was (briefly) taken in, as it was done very well, but I then remembered the date! Well done to everyone who organised this! Anyway, if it's true it can't all be bad....after all the US gave us The Big Bang Theory & Friends!!
lightningtiger Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Oh, wait now I have some ideas.......how about a Lego built version of L@go's USA toaster.....every home needs one and also what about instructions of creating your own custom Team America minifig set to save your city in the Team American way...."Hell, F%$& yeah !"....LOL !

Brickadiergerard Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Nicely done folks. The idea was a great April fool's one, and the comments have been priceless.

Paul Boratko Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 One thing that I can't figure out though... There is a Statue of Liberty Fig, an NFL player, the Cowgirl, and the Cowboy/Bandit.. But what in the Hell is up with that ostrich on the far right hand side..? Aren't those African..?

Calanon Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Awh, my resolution won't allow me to see the ostrich. Thank you, just2good. I was seriously confused when my friend mentioned it.
just2good Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 hmmm, i like the name just2goodAmeribricks on yutube. sound good. gotta change it soon !
Paul Boratko Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I didn't even see the "Marilyn Monroe" movie star fig.. That one isn't showing up on my screen...
LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) With the "Americanization" of the forum graphics, I am implementing the following to eliminate any confusion in text: - The letter "Z" shall replace the "S" where appropriate and will now longer be be spoken as "zed" - "U"s where not necessary, will be dropped - Mums are to be called moms - Boots are now trunks and bonnets are now hoods - Estates are station wagons and saloon's are sedans (even though I prefer the first) - Truck will replace Lorry - Caravans are camper trailers - Dual carriageways are just highways, motorways are freeways - Gas instead of Petrol - Tyre loses the 'y' for an 'i' - Soccer will replace football. Hand-egg will be just that... a hand shaped egg - Fries will replace chips. Chips are just chips - Biscuits will be called cookies except when it's a biscuit - Trash is trash, not rubbish, and thrown in a can not bin - All multi-syllable words will be replaced by single-syllable words (i.e. mobile cell phone, overtake pass) - As a bonus, I have written Owen Paterson MP at DEFRA demanding 100% water fluoridation. You too can enjoy forced mass medication! Thank you for your cooperation Edited April 1, 2013 by LEGO Guy Bri

Lakop Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I understand the need for "change", but I don't understand the name change. This is an international site, like most websites it can be accessed by anyone in the world with an internet connection so why re-name it ameribricks? makes no sense. interbrick or worldbrick would let it be known is was an international site. Better still, keep the original name. H
Calanon Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 - Boots are now trunks and bonnets are now hoods Yes!! I can now wear trunks on my feet!

Lyichir Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 It's 100% real. Events after Germany will alternate between Florida and California! In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind a Eurobricks event in America. If the stats about the userbase are true, it'd be a great service to the community to have two events. But of course I don't know the stats about Eurobricks event attendance; if the American delegation to those is significant enough, then of course such a change could make the European events too small to be sustainable (which I wouldn't wish on them, even as a red-blooded American).
Good Cragger Fan Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I have a suggestion on how to find tune the rebranging: It is to rename "Eurobicks" to "NorthAmeribricks", or even "NAmeribricks" , "North&SouthAmeribricks" or "N&SAmeribricks" -- as I am Canadian in nationality and don't really appreciate yet another AMERICAN LEGO fan website , whereas there is not even ONE single solditary Canadian LEGO fan website out on the internet (that I know of there ) , me never mind a Mexican or any other Latin American or Carribbean LEGO fan website. (However, if this is an April Fool's joke, then you can disregard the above statement of mine.)
RaincloudDustbin Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 - Trash is trash, not rubbish, and thrown in a can not bin Thank you for your cooperation I needs to be changing my names, dammit.
Duke of wellington Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 If this isnt a troll I would be annoyed eurobricks is a great name! Maybe /eb should of done a western/American month! Eb still hasn't done a middle earth month!! Come on Americans don't have to control this site!!!!! Euro can mean alot of countries and nationalities but Ameribricks is one country! NO americanisation. In 10 years it will become chinabrick.
Omicron Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I only have one problem with the banner - It's missing America's favorite pastime. Which is baseball. :P -Omi
def Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Maybe /eb should of done a western/American month! Eb still hasn't done a middle earth month!! There is this little LEGO line coming out this spring.... The Lone Ranger. There's a reason this was rushed in before it was quite fully ready. If May was Lone Ranger month, I wouldn't be surprised
