CARLSBAD, CA—After confiscating a LEGO Capitol Building from one of the conspirators of the worst day in our nation's history, January 6, FBI agents uncovered an even more sinister plot, saying the LEGO conspiracy is far worse than they had feared. They've traced the conspiracy all the way to the top, raiding a massive terrorist compound in Carlsbad, California. "This place is terrifying," murmured an FBI agent scoping out the place, which had big letters over the entrance saying "LEGOLAND." According to investigators, they found models of nearly every government building in D.C. throughout the park, models of a giant...

Toy company Lego requested Tuesday that marketing affiliates immediately cease advertising several of its law enforcement-related products and to even pull them from websites "in light of recent events," as protests rage nationwide over the death of George Floyd.

In recognition of everything that’s going on right now, LEGO’s actions for #BlackOutTuesday involved not just a $4 million donation to organisations devoted to racial equality, but a request for sellers to not advertise any sets involving police or the White House. As The Toy Book report, emails went out on Tuesday from Rakuten (who handle LEGO’s affiliate marketing) asking resellers to avoid promoting a long list of products that included police stations, police vehicles, a donut shop that included a police minifig and the excellent Architecture Series version of The White House (pictured above).

David, who was born with an under-developed arm, successfully created himself a prosthetic arm made entirely out of Lego. Not only that, it only took him five days to complete the first model. Since then David has perfected his design and created another arm with a motor that gives him more functionality than ever.

This fun picture of the day LEGO .40 caliber Glock has been floating around the internet so we're going to take a shot at it. Grabbed some .40 S&W brass and some spare LEGO heads. Perfect fit into the casing. Even fits the Glock22 and Glock35 magazines. Just to see if it would eject, released the slide and the Lego cartridge chambered without any deformation of the Lego head. Sometime in the future may try loading these and load a primer to see if it will propel the LEGO head out the barrel. The LEGO head is too wide to...

Children might be small in stature, but let's be honest, they can be rather destructive when left to their own devices. Such is the case with a young Chinese boy, who single-handedly pushed over a giant fox figurine of Nick from Zootopia on Sunday at the LEGO Expo in Ningbo, China. It so happened that it was the first day of the exhibition and the display had been open to the public for no more than an hour when the incident occurred.
