Trash Chomper Alternative History

FYI The 20 questions game is still going in the previous entry! You guys haven't figured it out yet. :P

 

So today I picked up the Trash Chomper Lego Movie set, because I wanted too. It is a real joy to play with; good models both ways, and the chomping function is probably my favorite out of all the 2-in-1 sets. (Although I think I still prefer the figs and pastel colors in the ice cream truck set, so I'll get that one next.) But this one has plenty of nice green elements. And it will be a good model to put on my desk at work, where at least one of my other co-workers is a minor Lego fan! (As in he's not a huge fan, not that he's a young fan.)

 

But I do think there's something wrong with the set description, so I offer up this alternative explanation.

 

"The Savage Garbage Men Grant and Dan are on the loose, and have been imprisoning Lego City civilians, like Chief Gordon Zola, to work as their slaves in the landfills. One brave Micro Manager, on a mission from President Business, has come to free the prisoners, but then the Garbage Men build their truck into a devestating chomping machine that begins to gobble up everything in sight! Can the Micro Manager save Gordon and everybody else, or will it get munched up too?"

 

Because I ask you, what looks more menacing here, a flying black cube with flick fire missiles OF JUSTICE or a big, bulky garbage / recycling truck with a giant mouth and teeth?? Surely the Micro Manager is the hero here! I mean, the art on the back of the box even has the garbage men smiling on as a fearful Gordon shovels a bone into the trash can. Clearly this is forced labor!

 

As you were. :P
