Cybertruck
254 pieces | Unbranded: M10526
Assembled by Mike Alfare, June 2025
Interaction Rating: 5 / 5 (interaction with the set is encouraged)
The Cybertruck is the one truck that can blow up in front of a building, and people still ask whether it was intentional or not. That's because the Cybertruck is a screaming metal death trap (and also looks unrendered, in Hunter's very loud opinion; Sarah thinks it looks like a shark). It is the deadliest vehicle currently approved for the road. It is known for falling apart while being driven, and you can rip parts of it off with your bare hands. Hunter judges anyone who drives one because of the readily available user reviews that warn people not to buy it. Hunter also hates the man who owns Tesla and is currently breaking many services and families that he and Sarah love. Hunter congratulates VW for no longer being the car brand most closely associated with Nazis.
Eat the Rich

There are very few ways to become obscenely wealthy, but none as effective as exploiting millions of people for their labor. During the French Revolution, the French had an effective solution for protecting the working class, which has since fallen out of favor in modern society. It was called...the guillotine. As comedian Trevor Moore once said in his song, It's Time for Guillotines:
It's time to sharpen blades, we just can't take this any more
It's nothing personal, we gave your way a try
We're sorry, but you at the top all have to die."
Thanks, Henry Ford!

If not for Henry Ford, Hunter might never have been born. But that doesn't mean that Hunter can't hate Henry Ford with a burning passion. Back in the 80s, Hunter's parents met through square dancing. This type of dance was popularized by an advocacy campaign funded by Henry Ford to combat the growing popularity of dances to jazz music. He thought that jazz was a Jewish creation to brainwash the masses, both antisemitic and just inaccurate. However, he succeeded in associating square dancing with wholesome American values and getting public schools to teach it, thereby embedding it in various aspects of American culture. Adolf Hitler kept a full-size portrait of Henry Ford on by desk. If you notice a theme so far in the things Hunter hates, it's Nazis.
TurboTax
30 pieces | Unbranded: A014
Assembled by Mike Alfare, June 2025
Interaction Rating: 5 / 5 (interaction with the set is encouraged)
The United States tax code is archaic and difficult to navigate. One reason for this is that TurboTax and similar companies invest a substantial amount of money in lobbying the government to maintain an overly complex tax code, ensuring that everyday people are unsure how to navigate their taxes without the assistance of a service like TurboTax. Whenever a company like Credit Karma offers a free tax filing service, it is frequently acquired by one of these companies that seeks to maintain control over tax filing options. It's their business model, and Hunter hates it. He uses Free Tax USA to file his taxes, though it remains to be seen if this service (let alone the IRS) will survive the current administration.
Starbucks
208 pieces | Brick Loot: BL-208
Assembled by Hunter Williams, December 2024
Interaction Rating: 5 / 5 (interaction with the set is encouraged)
During their time together as a couple, Sarah is fairly certain she has never seen Hunter drink a Starbucks coffee unless he had a caffeine headache, and there was no other option. It is significantly over-priced for what Hunter believes is mediocre coffee, and they are well-known for their union-busting tactics. Sarah has a running joke that whenever they see a Starbucks, she'll ask Hunter if he wants to stop for coffee. The answer is always, "Yes, but not there."
Birds Aren't Real
232 pieces | LEGO: 40639 (retired)
Assembled by Sarah Wilkinson, October 2024
Interaction Rating: 4 / 5 (interaction with the set is encouraged, but use extra care)
Some people believe birds are real. Hunter believes these people are incorrect.
All the birds died in 1986 due to Ronald Reagan killing them and replacing them with spies. COVID-19 was a government-orchestrated pandemic, allowing the government to change the batteries in the birds while everyone was inside. Seeing birds in public is always a nerve-wracking situation, as bird watching goes both ways. If it flies, it spies. The birds work for the bourgeoisie. Don't trust them. (This is probably a bit, a style of humor Hunter is well-known for, but he'll never admit it.)
Pandas Are the Worst
93 pieces | The Mini Block: 47465
Assembled by Mike Alfare, February 2025
Interaction Rating: 3 / 5 (interaction with the set is okay, but only with help from an adult)
You may be wondering how Hunter could possibly hate a creature as cute and beloved as pandas are. But for Hunter, the hatred comes surprisingly easily. As far as endangered species go, pandas are wildly expensive to care for. The United States government typically pays China approximately $1 million per year for the "privilege" of hosting pandas. They are built like bears, with all the ferocity of their claws and teeth, and the need to eat meat; however, they primarily eat bamboo, which provides them with almost no nourishment. They lack a self-preservation instinct, which is only second to humanity's. The only reason pandas in captivity procreate is because humans do it for them in a lab. Is this the panda's fault? No. It's humans and their destruction of the pandas' natural habitat that has caused this decline in their species. So, does Hunter hate pandas, or is it really just humans that he hates? His response: both.
The French

Given a previous entry, it may be assumed that Hunter has praise for the French. This is what some would call incorrect. While every country and culture has aspects to be respected, France is somehow an exception to this rule. The crowning achievement of the French is the ability to cook bread that goes stale in under an hour. (But in actuality, Hunter hates on the French has a bit. There's no actual hatred here. We don't know where the bit came from. But it was probably from the French.)
That's a Flag Code Violation
861 pieces | The Mini Block: 97894
Assembled by Mike Alfare, June 2025
Interaction Rating: 3 / 5 (interaction with the set is okay, but only with help from an adult)
Almost nothing gets Hunter worked up faster than a flag code violation, especially if that violation is from a purported "lover of America." You will hear no end of whining about people kneeling during the National Anthem as "disrespecting the flag," while a giant flag is rolled out and held horizontally on a playing field. According to the official United States Flag Code, Section 8, subsection C: "The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free." Section 8, subsection D states that the flag should never be used as apparel. Somehow, this is not the most common violation you'll see on the Fourth of July; that distinction belongs to Section 8, subsection I, which states that the flag should never be used for advertising purposes, as well as being on anything disposable (paper napkins are explicitly named). Don't even get Hunter started on Section 8, subsection K. It's incredible how many people disrespect our flag while claiming to love it. If you need someone to provide the sort of entertainment at a party, such as quoting the flag code from memory (which you definitely don't), Hunter is your man.
Do We Have a Trade Deficit with Penguins?
626 pieces | LEGO: 31165
Assembled by Vanessa Reyes, July 2025
Interaction Rating: 5 / 5 (interaction with the set is encouraged)
Early in 2025, in their...unique levels of wisdom, the upper echelons of the United States Government began blindly throwing around tariffs. This has had a significant impact on much of the world, and Hunter frequently sees its effects through his work. One of the most striking sets of tariffs that has confused many was among the Heard and McDonald Islands. These islands are uninhabited by humans and are primarily populated by penguins, who, according to our government officials, have a large trade deficit. While Hunter finds it fun to joke about the tariffs on the penguins, it is done tongue-in-cheek compared to the rest of the damage being caused by the actual tariffs. The primary thing that Hunter hates about tariffs is when people fail to understand what they are or what they're intended to do. The barrage of tariffs in 2025 was a great example of what they're not for. *Hunter doesn't hate penguins. He hates unfair economic restrictions on them.*
A prime example of a flag code violation on a shirt from Hunter's company.
