I bought the outline tie when I was at the Lego store a couple of weeks ago. I
agree that the other two, I would not wear. The outline tie is a little less
"abrasive", but even though it is mostly black, the colors of the brick
outlines are a little bit bright, in my opinion.
It just so happens that I wore my new tie today for the first time at work.
...dramatic pause... No one commented. :-) Except for my friend Edna, who
knows of my Lego obsession, and she liked it. I probably also should mention
that I sit in a cubicle most of the day, so that would lessen the exposure to
the masses.
Going with Mike's idea below, if one of the Fibblesnork backgrounds in a muted
color, such as beige or light blue were available, and about the same price as
these, then I would probably buy one.
