- Greenpeace campaign against LEGO and Shell partnership - I'm pretty solidly anti-Big Oil, but I'm also pretty solidly Lego Group, so I'm torn here. Lego hasn't done a ton of corpration tie-ins in the years (though there was a Vestas wind turbine set, take that Greenpeace!). If this turns out to be a protest with legs (and I don't think it will be), I'm thinking it'll be a fairly easy separation in spite of the long history of Shell sets. Go Octan!
- Man caught stealing 6000 Lego minifigures from local toy store - This was in the Czech Republic, and it looks like he was buying sets, picking through for the minifigures, and returning the original sets. I would think that would be really obvious as he would have to have been buying/returning a bunch of sets to get 6100 minifigures.
- More Lego Collectible Minfigures (71007) Series 12 Minifigures - I'm a sucker and will probably buy every one of these sets no matter what's in them, but I do dig that Piggy Guy. October can't come soon enough for me.
- LEGO Ideas #007: Exo Suit (21109) - Green space minifigures! Green Space Minifigures! GREEN Space Minfigures! GREEN!!!
- The Exo-Suit has been revealed - Seriously, GREEN! $35 is a bit steep for just the two green figures, but I'm spending it.
- More Exo-Suit goodness - full pics from the Brickset photostream including a nice comparison photo to the original Cuusoo/Ideas design
- Seriously, GREEN spacemen!
- LEGO Ideas Exo-Suit finally revealed - Check out the comments from Lego_Nabii, the LEGO designer who was tasked with translating from the original Ideas proposal to the actual set. It's a great insight into the business/design process at the Lego group.
- Stressing the elements - The discussion of the Exo-Suit design mentioned a number of illegal connections, and I wasn't as knowledgeable about what those were as I would like to be. Thankfully, one of the redditors linked to this presentation clearing things up.
- Lego hands fit cables perfectly - who knew?
