I’d locked comments on this for good reasons (which haven’t changed), but it looks like an option somewhere got overwritten.

There are more current discussions happening, so let’s close this one out again and keep the focus on the conversations happening today.

Hmmm… this is an extemly tough question. I think they could do military sets if they where not really our modern day world or past type sets but more like Battalion Wars where it was kinda on a different planet.

[...] with the first photo in the pair above. We’ve had some productive discussions about modern military LEGO in the past, but perhaps it’s time to revisit that discussion in a future editorial. [...]

This debate seems to be staying alive mainly between people arriving from search engines, not our regular readers, so I’m going to go ahead and lock comments. Nothin’ personal.

whats really weird/annoying is thats with the lego castle and cowboy
sets is that the minifigs inthose sets used weapons like swords daggers and maces which draw A LOT more blood than a M16 or a tank

I’d be OK with torture chamber sets and BrickArms has nearly all there
minifigs backorderd.you are right about the $ LEGO would make,
mean all my friends would said they’d rather have a tiger tank
than a LEGO city set.=)

(I’m getting all the BrickArms weapons 4 christmas)

I agree, in that maybe a torture chamber would be going too far, however, if they did sell military sets, then they could make a lot of money methinks. anyway, there are already companies making military style accessories- Brickarms for one. I think there are many people that would enjoy seeing Lego humvees and so on on the shelves of their local toy retailer- Me included!

First I cannot believe that I am replying, anyway here goes. It’s a toy!!! I repeat a toy!!!!! Got it. I’ve had Lego sets from the 70′s. I have play cowboys and indians, soldiers, etc, etc, etc,……..and partridge in a pear treeeeee. Children will continue to do this no matter what. let them be children and LEGO should go a head make the damn military sets and let the chips fall where they may!!!! A lot of adults will surely by these sets too!!! Good grief!!!!

Stick to fantasy, I say!

Military and violent MOC’s are awsome too, but for us builders to dream up and create.
Maybe the communities should start to distribute instructions, for those of us who cannot think in 3D all the time…
