They’re building a case, obviously.

Lego is very behind on production. It took over six months for me to get my Complete Hogwarts Castle last year, and they’re not even taking more orders on the Diagon Alley set.

Does that explain all the blockheads running things these days?

The best simile I’ve ever heard was “like an evil child sprinkling Legos on his parents bedroom floor while they slept.”

Back in the 1980s people made beaucoup bucks smuggling Levis jeans into Europe. They could be had in the USA for $15 retail (less if you could get them wholesale, or steal them), but sold in France for example over $100 a pair.

They tried to name the capital of Nigeria after Legos but autocorrect got ‘em.

I’m waiting for communities to melt their plastic recyclables and make giant Legos.

Termite-proof, I’d use mine to keep my dogs happy in the back yard. Or to surround a pool, build a noise barrier, make a workbench, or protect a garden.

When I was growing up in the 1970s, Lego sets were much simpler affairs. More complicated at the time were Erector sets that were made of metal and came with little motors and such as well as little wrenches to tighten the nuts that held it all together. I don't think Erector sets are much of a thing these days.

My mother though used to buy these 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzles that we would have to use the entire dining room table to put together. When those puzzles were coming together, we'd have to eat in the kitchen standing up for weeks at a time. Almost always, a piece or two would be missing. I think the dog ate them or they fell to the floor and got inadvertently vacuumed up. It's been a long time since I put together a jigsaw puzzle.

My own children were big on Legos and nothing worse than walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night in your bare feet and stepping on one of those pieces.

I stopped buying legos for my kids years ago because you could only buy kits to build things pre designed, like the Millennium Falcon and costs were outrageous... Nowhere could I find kits with just raw blocks to build your own imagination... truly a very big disappointment to me...

I’ve made my home invulnerable to SWAT teams with these things. Put a “Please take off your shoes before entering” sign on the front door and strewed LEGOs all over the floor inside. They’ll never get me now.
