Alright, technically the set’s name is “Tiger Hot Air Balloon Jungle Rescue” and it’s part of a partnership with National Geographic, but come on. It still mostly just looks like they’re taking the tiger cub from its mother.

I mean I know it’s good to encourage girls to pursue more careers, but poaching endangered species via hot air balloon? The frick, Lego!?

That’s $3,000 per cub, you know

“Rescue”, rigghhhhtt. It’s the  sequel to Tiger King- Tiger Princessesses.

Can we go back to orphaning them instead?

The Europeans can keep the poaching theme, but this is America. Let’s shoot some tigers from the relative safety of a state of the art attack chopper for no reason!

Fact: This was the coolest modern Lego set that wasn’t an absurdly expensive collector item.

Also fact: Those pansy progressive ROW types captured dinos like a wimp instead of nuking them in this series.

Tastes like chicken.

I think poached eggs taste better than poached tiger, though. You gotta barbecue  tiger to make the flavor really pop!

Strangely enough, I think only America is getting the National Geographic-branded sets, and we aren’t getting them until August. Europe, on the other hand, has had them since June albeit without NatGeo branding. But yeah, they should totally put some missile launchers on that balloon and make them FIGHT!!

If you are going to ruin an animal’s life, at least make it go out with a bang. I’m thinking maybe include a volcano to drop the cub into. What she’s doing is being paid to artificially drive up prices. That’ll give kids the right lesson.

A classic. One my all time favorites was from the same few days:

I was in marketing at the time.
