Only two sets make sense to be up there: 40611 and 75372. I bought 75372 only two days ago and i have to say it is an amazing set! the best battlepack ever. Not only the figures but the builds as well.
Possibly the most cursed What's Hot I've ever seen - a lot of these do crop up in the list from time to time but the convergence of all of them is a sight to behold
Therapist: It's ok, Nick Bluetooth isn't real. He can't hurt you.
4040 : *exists*
Why are there so many bad sets up there from studios, sports and galidor. But there are also good but old sets from pirates and SW. What's going on?
I guess there must have been a discussion of the old soccer sets over on Reddit.
It feels like this list is becoming less interesting/useful because so many old sets appear on it for no apparent reason. I wonder if there's a way for you to filter the page hits only to include logged-in members of Brickset in order to get a better sense of the sets that people who use the site regularly are reading about.
Oh, my. I forgot I had written a review on 4466.

The discussion was over which set contains the largest official Lego produced part.

Why? "These are the sets that have been viewed the most this week." That's all there is to it. There doesn't need to be more.
An eldritch amalgamation of the three strangest polybags of the early 2000s
@Jack_Sassy: And what a review it was! I've never felt so inspired to hunt down an out-of-production set.

LOL- I can’t believe that was a real set! I don’t get why? Your review was hilarious. I especially chuckled that it was marketed as “7+”?!
I didn't realize that 4701 didn't even use the bottle bricks. Makes sense given the release year, but I was still not expecting it. Gave me a good laugh.

Upvoted your review.
Also, why does 3569 have 40,000 more views than anything else!?!? Is that also reddit, or has lego soccer/football become some kind of internet joke?
Yeah ok, I was intrigued by Bottles,Nick and Sign Board so clicked on those. Kinda wish I didn’t now.
When a set such as 4071 Bottles is so bad (also 3220 My Dad [Christian with Gifts]), there's a worst one such as 4466 Sign Board. @Jack_Sassy, thank you so much for the review! I laughed so hard. I already have a few Football (Soccer) sets, but I'm gonna search for this one and buy it!

@TheOtherMike @Daysali @HOBBES @LuvsLEGO_Cool_J Thank you all for the positive feedback! I will try to write more reviews on great sets like this one.

Our new AI Overlords are certainly getting an interesting education. I bet 4040 conclusively determines their realization that humanity does not deserve to continue.
Oh well. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
