I’ve recently become obsessed with why two snack-sized popcorn chickens net you 374 more kilojoules of food for five cents less than buying a “regular” one. Surely the larger portion should be better value. If I had $12 to blow on popcorn chicken I’d buy two snack size and one regular size and conduct a series of experiments to confirm that it is, indeed, a rip-off. But money is tight. Could the menu simply be wrong?

A meme for our times.

A few pieces missing from both sets because I made some alterations. The mini Imperial Walker thing has a custom anti-aircraft laser that would always shoot down the other one when it transformed into the spaceship mode, convinced of its superiority. These two sets basically had the same fight over and over.

Bought the new three in one today and built it tonight, tried filming it and will try and edit it together tomorrow. It’s notably smaller than the previous pirate ship and The Going Merry but it’s very solid, it does some things better than the previous three-in-one pirate ship.

I thought the price was odd though. Much cheaper than I’d been expecting, same price as the recent Haunted Mansion but 300+ more pieces. Also the same price as the train set shown which only has about half the pieces!
