I don’t think this is funny. The ship design is uninspired and non-humorous. The Adolf Hitler fig isn’t very striking, nor is he funny either. The description of your MOC is pretty plain, and not funny. The only thing at all amusing is the shock factor, but once it wears off, theres nothing else to keep my interest. Plus, I think this sort of thing (especially that you publicized it soo much(1)) is bad press for the AFOL community at large.

(...) Agreed 100%. I see little to no play value or humor here. This is in EXTREMELY poor taste, and sheds a bad light not just on us as AFOL's, but also on LEGO as the company whose child-themed toys you've used to spread a very adult message of (...) (19 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Lenny, you are completly right! There is definitely no fun in Nazis. To many people have suffered and died under their reign. Those victims in mind I only can feel sorry for those who have forgotten or just don't care! Marco (19 years ago, 9-Aug-05, to lugnet.space)
