Now, I pay good money for this subscription only to get a crappy 16 piece set? WTF? I&#8217;ve been very happy with my BrickMaster subscription up until now&#8230; this just seems like a real let down. And in my most recent LEGO catalog, they offer this set as an &#8216;exclusive&#8217; set &#8212; HA! That&#8217;s funny&#8230; what is LEGO thinking?<\/p>\n<p>I should be more thankful&#8230; I&#8217;m thankful for my wife! I&#8217;m thankful that my wife is making a Oreo cheesecake this morning &#8212; it smells delicious! I&#8217;m thankful that my family is healthy. I&#8217;m thankful for a place to live &amp; that my wife &amp; I are employed. I&#8217;m thankful for good friends. So I guess I should be thankful that LEGO hasn&#8217;t gone out of business &#8212; I know they try hard despite their stupid marketing department. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=brickbuildr\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, but I also wanted to comment on the turkey of a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[392,204,10,254,374,808,227],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brickmaster","category-holiday","category-lego","category-rant","category-silly","category-thanksgiving","category-tlg"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/4906-1.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6YMsl-7e","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132851,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448\/revisions\/132851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickbuildr.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
