| Quick question, seeing as TLG was paying Universal Studios to make a movie promoting
LEGO, why do we have a movie promoting someone else?
Not appropriate in my opinion.

| Hello
I buy some minifigure torsos.
And there notice "crack under the arm" i understand 'arm crack'.
Seller reply : "Very clearly stated in description cracks UNDER arm, not
ON it."
Did I get it wrong?
Other sellers clearly enter the subject
Example : cracked torso (left, right,..) side
It's the first absurd thing I've ever experienced
What do you think about seller notice?
Thanks.

| Lego, in the new lego life magazine for 2024 has a little leaflet included that
promotes donating “old” bricks to lego so they can redistribute them to other
kids.
Sounds good right?
Helps the environment(does anyone you know just throw their old bricks they don’t
play with anymore in landfills or on the ground to rot?) and it gives kids who
don’t have LEGO(because it’s soooooo expensive these days, they don’t know about
Bricklink)) a chance to play with some.
The old Lego will have to be sorted by every individual part. So think of this;
A box arrives at the donation depot, there are some old sets from the 70s, 80s,
and early 2000s. Some are in good condition and others are dirty and damaged.
Then the person looking in the box sees some loose bricks in the bottom of the
box. He picks up a handful. 7 out of the 16 bricks are off brand! He has five
choices.
(A) sort through every last brick to find all the non-LEGO.
(B) wash all the bricks, and ignore the non-LEGO and send it off.
(C) return the box to sender.
(D) throw the whole box out.
(E) go for lunch.
As you can see reuse of LEGO is not that simple. Who ever came up with the idea,
while they may have had good intentions, they weren’t thinking about the things
that need doing for a charity like this. The people who sort and wash will need
to be paid. And not all Lego collections are clean, and fake Lego free.
So while I think this is a great idea there are some problems.
Let’s hope the LEGO Group can handle the challenge.
I hope that if Lego does do sorting, they can hire some people that care about
the product that they are working with. 
I know this is not a very nice look at the new charity, but if you have any good
information please let me know.
I would love to know that the brick we all know and love, will bring joy to the
less fortunate.

| For the Classic Space theme fans... and probably all LEGO fans in general, this
new book featuring photos and information regarding the Classic Space theme should
be a pretty good addition to your collection...
From the Amazon Pre-order listing description:
"An oversize full-color hardcover volume exploring the birth and early life
of LEGO Space-the iconic toy line that inspired imagination and exploration the
world over!"

| Just got this email and though I’d post the first thread for it to confirm others
got it also and
1. That’s is legit.
2. That I’m not going crazy (at least in regards to this  )
3. Can’t remember what the 3rd reason was

If I understand that correctly, the figures in the Friends line, will begin having
more variety, and will more correctly reflect the diverse forms that humans come
in. It would seem that those with some disabilities will also be represented.

| Morning all,
Saw this yesterday:-
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19996519/4000-recreating-lake-district-lego/
Hopefully linking to a news site about a Lego story is ok?
I love the idea that the best place to house and display such a project is the
local pub. Truly the centre of British life!!!!
