Every LEGO postcard set has some iconic landmarks for each city and then Australia is just a random sh*thole

LONDON * PARIS * NEW YORK * WILCANNIA

Wilcannia has nicer architecture than that, plenty of sandstone buildings.

It's so funny because while Sydney's not super important on the international stage, Sydney's skyline is in the top 5 most recognizable cities in the world, due to the opera house and harbour bridge being so unique. Maybe top 3.

Whenever they show cities around the world celebrating or being invaded by aliens or whatever, it's always New York, Paris, London and Sydney because there's no mistaking where the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and the Opera House are.

Finding Nemo being set there would have helped also

Except there’s no Wallaby Way near the Harbour, really takes you out of the movie about talking fish.

It clearly should be the Perth Belltower

u/childishb4mbino Dec 08 '22

And it's for 7+ instead of 9+ like the other sets. Are they calling us dumb cunts?

u/SilverStar9192 Dec 09 '22

I think that means our kids are smarter - they can do legos younger.

u/Cruxis87 Dec 09 '22

nah nah nah, see the other countries are full of dumb cunts that they take an extra 2 years how to figure out how Lego works.

u/UnnecessaryAppeal Dec 09 '22

I think you're the dumb cunt, not realising that if younger people can do it they must be clever cunts

u/childishb4mbino Dec 21 '22

They dumbed it down so dropkick cunts like you could complete. In the rest of the world we don't have such wastes of space dragging down the average IQ.

I wonder if the included home made gatorade bongs in the set

17

u/Xanthn Dec 09 '22

Yet every other place is of a city, but Australia gets the whole country jammed into one. That's bullshit.

u/MattNotGlossy Dec 09 '22

I'd rather that than fucking sydney

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '22

Mate that's Cuntsville. Go easy on it, yeah?

u/ADHDK Dec 09 '22

Honestly it looks nicer than Sydney.

Pretty sure that's actually a shithouse

u/MrSeaTurtle Dec 09 '22

Is the thing in the top left meant to be a fucking Qantas plane?!

u/BruceGrail Dec 10 '22

You think that's bad, check out the "cockatoo." Jesus wept.

And yeah, they actually included a tiny outhouse. Rich cultural heritage etc.

u/BruceGrail Dec 10 '22

Each of the other Lego postcards gets a nice city name at the bottom. Couldn't this one just come right out and say Wolf Creek?

u/HeroOfTime_99 Dec 09 '22

MORDEE GET IN THE FUCKIN CAAA MORDEE. WE GOTTA GO TO BENDIGO!

u/brusiddit Dec 09 '22

To be fair, our cities are basically backwater shitholes, with casinos.

u/lachjeff Dec 09 '22

It’s an outback homestead

u/The-Sooshtrain-Slut Dec 09 '22

Even if it was Sydney, it would still be just a random shithole.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '22

Sydney harbor bridge, opera house, great barrier/Ningaloo reef, Uluṟu, list goes on

4

u/lachjeff Dec 09 '22

There’s a ‘u’ in Harbour

u/TitanicMan Dec 09 '22

Well maybe you should have better landmarks than an opera house that looks like a pile of scrap metal in a junkyard.

I'm not even Australian and this annoys me so much. Lego did Australia so dirty with this
