That’s a fair distribution! Also I’ve been excited about digital wallet VIP since I first heard about it when they had some beta testing start.

Hey all, I have come to the realization that while I am super excited to assemble my Saturn V for the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary, I really don't care about the UCS Slave 1 I bought 3 years ago. It's still NIB, so am I right to think that I can get my $200 MSRP back plus shipping costs if I eBay or Bricklink it? It's a great set, I just realize that I don't especially like Slave 1 as a design and I'd rather have a couple hundred bucks to spend on other stuff. Like the 10265 Mustang.

Would you trade it for a Mustang? I just got it and built it but feel weird displaying it with Ford's whole antisemitic thing.

If I understood correctly it was henry ford, the guy has been dead for a long rear end time. Why would you buy it and then not display it?

I heard he had the plans for the 67 Mustang drawn up just before he died in 1947. My favourite car is a 73 Ford driven by Mel Gibson, help!

Cloks posted:I wasn't thinking about how it was a Ford product when I bought it. I dunno man... there’s gotta be a line, somewhere, right? A line where it no longer has relevance... Was the Ford Company built with the intent to subjugate Jews? If not, and it was just the messed up beliefs of the founder, I mean... rest easy, you’re not lining the pockets of his bigotry, nor his children, or probably his children’s children. I mean, I bet you can find a high-ranking employee at *any* company in the world who got some hosed up beliefs. You still need toilet paper. And such... I dunno, I’m all for boycotting things, but who are you trying to stick it to here? Or is this more like “I dare not display a Ford because of what it stands for...” because I think it may not actually stand for or be representative of that...

Also, drat dude. I drive a Ford, which means I put it on display several times a week to thousands of people. I don’t think they believe me to be anti Semitic for it.

Volkswagen is the second biggest car brand in the world and it was actually founded by Hitler. If you look too deeply into the things you buy, you're going to find lovely people.

Matthias Wandel is a woodworker but he hosed up his hands real good (carpal tunnel or something, I forget) So he's turned his engineering skill and passion to something more accessible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igViMziPKgs he recycles like nuts so the projectiles are the caps from those little apple sauce packs for kids

Seriously. Wouldn't it be exhausting to thoroughly research the history of every product you buy and consume to make sure it and it's employees never did a thing you morally disagree with? It's your money, you do you. I just wouldn't have the time.
