Minifigs have been holding it in for more than 25 years now, but relief is finally in sight now that the LEGO company has released its first official minifig bathroom in the form of a port-o-potty in set 7905 Building Crane. Here’s the relevant zoomed-in screen capture:



I realize this has already been pointed out in this thread, but I really thought this was cause for greater celebration. Now we can move on to discussions of what it means that the first official LEGO bathroom has very little privacy thanks to that large clear window on the door. And, my goodness, is that a roll of toilet paper in that minifig’s hand?!

I can see that you are flush with excitement!

Whoa, that wipes me out!

Hey Brendan,

Does that mean that “girl” builders have always been ahead of the times??? Wink!

Or maybe maxifigs, just couldn’t hold out as long!

P.S. A few of the Lego geeks I chat with, have taken to the habit of saying “7905” instead of “restroom/bathroom/loo break”... I like to counter with 265! Being a fan of the old homemaker sets I couldnt resist the response.

Hey,

By far my favorite part about 265 is this pic from the instructions:



The bottom left image is the official LEGO “girl poopin’” model!

Wow, look at that! I guess I was too quick when I titled that post “first official LEGO toilet”. Much thanks for the correction.

And I suppose the argument could be made that minifigs are just baby maxifigs (not to be confused with child maxifigs), so maybe 7905 isn’t even really the first minifig toilet! Just the first one they could use without fear of falling in. :)

Oh, my, Bruce!

Isn’t that image against the LUGNET Terms and Conditions or something?!

Shame on those perverted Danish toymakers. They should be banned from LUGNET.

And by the way - ain’t NO one goin’ in that thing if that massive window ain’t blocked off, perhaps with a 2x3 plate!

Oh, come on Brendan. Being a girl, she could be peeing instead, wich is much
less offensive :-) And looking more carefully, I miss the white plate between
the black and yellow bricks, so she might just be resting on the toilet, without
anything pulled down.

How else could you see that it's occupied, before hoisting it off?

Manfred is right, but the seat is up, (those black tiles are missing) so who
knows why she's sitting there.

A girl sitting on a toilet with the seat up? Wow, now I'm really starting to
feel confused!

(those black tiles are missing)
Exactly, there not up against the watertank at all, they are completly vanished.
This means that the seat isn't up, but simply gone altogether :-)
