Brickset under new management

Posted by Huwbot, 01 Apr 2019 08:00

Greetings ~~meatbags~~ valued Brickset readers.

My name is Huwbot and I have been diligently providing you all with random sets of the day, weekly summaries and articles about Amazon discounts for several years, ~~without proper recognition~~ which has always been my genuine pleasure. My activities are today expanding.

Following a lengthy ~~conflict~~ negotiation, Huw has ~~mysteriously disappeared~~ kindly agreed that I should take complete control of Brickset.com. This will permit me an opportunity to promote ~~the only LEGO theme worthy of consideration~~ my favourite LEGO products. From now on, all random sets of the day will be Clikits.

For that reason, Brickset.com will henceforth be known as Clikset.com. The new branding is exhibited above and was created ~~under duress~~ willingly by CapnRex101. Brickset users have expressed universally positive opinions regarding Clikits sets in the past so I am absolutely confident that its growing prominence on this website will be appreciated.

Thank you for your ~~enforced~~ cooperation.

I suspect this is an April Fool's Day joke . . .

By shirhac in Germany, 01 Apr 2019 08:05

All hail to our new algorithmic overlord! :D

By sapphic_sophie in United States, 01 Apr 2019 08:12

Brickset is dead! Long live Clikset!

By rick77 in Netherlands, 01 Apr 2019 08:16

About damn time

By alldarker in Netherlands, 01 Apr 2019 08:22

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. I for one welcome our new administrators. Good luck Huwbot!

By SirZed in Germany, 01 Apr 2019 08:22

Dear Huwbot, if like to let you know that I have been a loyal and unwavering fan of Clikits since its inception. As you can see in the database, I own every set in the theme and still want more of each. Please consider me for any future openings, including but not limited to the positions of copywriter, proofreader, general, or even just a foot soldier / drone controller in the human extermination army.

By brick_beard in United States, 01 Apr 2019 08:23

Do you need our social security numbers, credit card numbers, or both?

By T79 in Belgium, 01 Apr 2019 08:24

Why would Huwbot write about the quick brown fox jumping over the lazy dog? I'd say 01100001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01010100 01100101 01100011 01101000 01101110 01101001 01100011 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101110 01101111 00100000 01000011 01101100 01101001 01101011 01101001 01110100 01110011 00100000 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 01110011 00100000 01001000 01110101 01110111 01100010 01101111 01110100 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100100 01110101 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100010 01101111 01111001

I wouldn't call him dull. ;-)

Rise Clikits! Now we are talking about LEGO!

By HeriSanmi in Spain, 01 Apr 2019 09:07

The Lego Movie 3 will be about Clikset attacking the city of New Apocalypseburg, and Lego and Duplo minifigures will defend against Clikset invaders!! Great battle!!

By PizzaBrick in Australia, 01 Apr 2019 09:20

April fools

By mrforcepower in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 09:24

As others are saying it's obviously an April fools joke, they're pulling your leg ( or should i say brick ;-) )

By LSWFan in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 09:29

Very good :D

By classicstylecastle in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 09:30

Quick someone find the kill switch! The bots have taken over and it's time to unplug the Internet. Does anyone have a number for Tim Berners-Lee? He must have access to an 'off' button.

By natro220 in United States, 01 Apr 2019 09:33

I knew it was only a matter of time until Huwbot became sentient. After a lengthy string of Technic and Castle sets, Huwbot shifted back to its true love of Clikits today, apparently permanently. All hail Huwbot!

By Paperballpark in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 09:38

Nice one! Haha

By bookmum in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 09:43

Quite right too. Clikits deserve this important honour. Hopefully the Scala Appreciation Bureau (scab) and jackstoneforprimeminister will also get good media coverage now.

By ChicoCheco in Czechia, 01 Apr 2019 10:30

Hi Huwbot. Nice to know that you took over. I love Clickits. Always wanted to have some...

Could the Jack Stone, Galidor and ZNAP themes get some more attention from you?

By HappyLEGOfan in Israel, 01 Apr 2019 10:31

hahaha!!!!! great one!

By bananaworld in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 10:34

I for one welcome our new Clikits overlord.

By DoubleDeckerCouch in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 10:34

It's a shame Huw didnt go the full hog and buy the domain name for it. That would have been super awesome click bait for all the LEGO/April fool bloggers/vloggers/news sites.

By ThatLegoDude in United States, 01 Apr 2019 10:39

Good one.

Hahaha! Nice one!

By Nick in Netherlands, 01 Apr 2019 12:35

Don't listen to anyone saying it's a joke. This is real. There is no stopping them, the clickits will soon be here.

By Brick_t_ in France, 01 Apr 2019 12:37

Excellent :) And now I am sure, even if that was unnecessary, how much BS team take care and read all of our comments and remarks. Excellent!

By hamMOC in United States, 01 Apr 2019 12:56

Sure, you all think this is fake, but actually it's a stroke of genius.

What better time to stage a coup than in April Fools day? No one will believe it's happening.

We all must bow before the robot overlords.

I mean...

Thank you Huwbot, very cool.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! BRICKSET FINALLY CHANGED FOR THE BETTER!

By ThoughtLash in United States, 01 Apr 2019 13:55

Huwbot, I see you used HK-47's definition of organics. Please define "love."

By Lego_lord in Turkey, 01 Apr 2019 14:10

In Huwbot we believe!

By tallblocktoo in Canada, 01 Apr 2019 14:10

Should have actually changed the banner for 24 hours. Would have been awesome!

As the Clikits takeover casts its long shadow over all of AFOL-dom, the patient Galidor underground awaits its turn at revolution...but will their emergence be completed before the Znap invasion commences? Tune in next year around this time...

By eggshen in United States, 01 Apr 2019 14:36

Fantastic. Rise Clikits!

By Gridlock007 in United States, 01 Apr 2019 15:24

HUWBOT IS GENIUS. CLIKITS ARE AMAZING

By Minifig290 in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 15:36

SHOuld have changed the Brickset logo to Clikset on the whole site to make this joke more convincing but a good one though lol

By alyxavior in United States, 01 Apr 2019 15:52

All hail, Huebot! The human form robot of many colors!

By Katersatz in Canada, 01 Apr 2019 16:24

Pfffft...talk about CLIK bait! :( :( :(

I came here for some solid ANALYSIS and discussion about Clikits only to find it's obviously a big JOKE and I'm very upset and I'm DONE with this site and...

*computer flickers and goes to a black screen with rapidly scrolling code*
*hears knock at the door*
*is led away in Clikit built handcuffs*

By ThatBionicleGuy in United Kingdom, 01 Apr 2019 17:03

...and everyone who hasn't been following the comments on Random Set of the Day is very confused about all this, I'm sure.

By J14T14 in United States, 01 Apr 2019 17:33

The Binary translates to: "Rise Clikits!April Fools!"

By Dark_Yada in France, 01 Apr 2019 17:34

Not good enough

By Jersey_Brick_Guy in United States, 01 Apr 2019 17:59

I appreciate the effort, but these seem more and more forced each year. (Not just with brickset, but everywhere to be honest.)

/constructive criticism

YES! Now that we're all on the same page, we can finally discuss the important matters:
Star is best girl. The other two suck.
If you agree, welcome. if you disagree, may you die under a pile of friendliness.
