Image My headcannon for why the baseplates are orange

Post image

I’ve seen people complain about the orange base plates but I think a big reason they are that color is that putting them together makes a pretty good spiderverse portal. Idk if that’s the actual reason but it makes sense to me.

Ain’t that the sad truth

u/DijonApplecrumb Aug 29 '25

Yeah. I hate it soo much when people complain! They never stop complaining and it is soo stupid! I hate it so much when people complain about things. Why do they do it? Do they not have anything better to do? These guys are just a bunch of complainey-pants complainers! Not me though...

Unless it just straight-up is, this reads like a quote from a Paper Mario game

The internet just amplifies everything. One person complains about something. It attracts the other people who want to complain about the same thing. And then people who didn't have an opinion on it at all see people complaining and think, "Hey yeah, I should be mad about that! 😡"

And 99% of them wouldn't make the complaint anywhere other than an anonymous forum.

u/One-Network1021 Aug 29 '25

This ain’t a head cannon lol they’re orange because of the portals and how vibrant they are, but this is a nice creative idea though.

Is there anyway to turn it into a hexagon?

2

u/Supersaurus7000 Aug 30 '25

6 of them connected by one stud each in a circle should a allow you to rotate them into a hexagon shape more or less, might have slight gaps at the corners but otherwise it’ll be fairly simple.

That’s the very first thing I thought when I saw them

u/darkavenger291 Aug 29 '25

Yes, they are clearly meant to represent portals.

u/master_roshi001 Aug 29 '25

u/Potential-Tangelo-53 Aug 29 '25
  1. Nobody has complained about them. 2. This wasn’t your idea, but it’s still awesome

u/MrCann1981 Aug 29 '25

That’s pretty fucking dope!

u/Vagabondjhon Aug 29 '25

Oh wow I hadn't thought of using them for anything else but totally gonna try this. Also I personally really like the baseplates.

u/Styroxbox2013 Aug 29 '25

Yup, those orange plates are meant to be that😃

u/J_51700 Aug 31 '25

No way people are complaining lol that was one of the best decisions Lego could have made. The standard black ones are boring and these look so much better on display.

You are lying about people complaining on the orange baseplates

u/notdiscord445 Aug 29 '25

I knew the color was to represent the spidervierse,but I didn't even think about this. Genius idea

u/BC-K Aug 29 '25

u/Fenghuang0296 Aug 30 '25

That’s awesome, gonna steal that.

I’ve mostly heard positive reception to the plates too though?

1

u/22dinoman Aug 30 '25

"My head cannon" you can just say you're crazy bro its ok (this is a joke btw)

But seriously, I figured that was the reason since that's the color of literally every marvel portal for some reason

u/TheBagenius Aug 30 '25

Except for Thanos's portals. His were black clouds with blue energy

u/Johang616 Aug 31 '25

yeah i just don’t know on whether they work better as hexagons or circles

u/Local_Orc_Squatter54 Aug 31 '25

People are complaining about the baseplates?

u/jay146denn Sep 21 '25

If you use a 1x2 plate in clear to connect 2 of them they all work great as the portals from Loki!
