Article on LEGO used for insect research

Sort of odd, but makes perfect sense. There are closet AFOLs out there everywhere.

Re: Feedback requested on soft hair elements

PIerre, I assume this was a forward request from LEGO for feedabck, not your personal interest? I really like that the rubber allowed for some thin hair strands (like on the current Goth Girl -CMF S12) that aren't easily breakable. I love the diversity, but I think I prefer the look and colour of th...

Microfigs (from board games) Wanted

Anyone have anby microfigs they want to get rid of? I am not willing to pay/trade much for them. I just want them cause I am building Minecraft scenes with the kids at school and these 1x1 figs fit nicely into the scenes. I don't check the forums often so call or text me if you have any. 604-710-5346

Did anyone ever pick up horses for Dean? I think he would be be thrilled to have some, or to know they are back, especially when you can pour blue gems around them.

Since you mention Formula one racing… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRBVGKFgAUU but I don't think that not associating with one company means not associating with any company it associates with. That seems like a stretch. Unless it was part of the deal that the race sets have Shell logos in them. ...

Happy anniversary Allan! You have made me wonder what my first meeting date was. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything like google calendar at the time so no way of looking back.

Remix your own LEGO ad

This short write up about the gender bias in LEGO advertising leads (at the bottom of the page) to a very funny little app to "remix" the LEGO ads.

Also seems a little odd that they would release the sets so long before the movie comes out. And given the number of sets and the wide ...
