WOW~!

He was the first behind the LEGO architecture series and was one of only a handful
of LEGO Professionals (like Nathan Sawaya).

But check this out:

384396856713

From what I can see there are NO LEGO logo on the studs, and further down in
the description it says "Lego compatible"...

So then this post wouldn't be a link to Lego on another site.


You can find other models from his "Atom" company...most, Frank Lloyd Wright
models.

Does he still hold the LEGO Professional title? Is he still even remotely associated
with TLG?

Thanks for any info...

Thanks for that really informative article! Never saw this mentioned here on
Bricklink or as news here in the US...which, ironically is his prime location.
I just can't bring myself to buy clone stuff...even though I've bought
most sets he released. Too bad. He also had a lawsuit against a toy roller company,
Coaster Dynamics I think...I own a prototype set and some pre-TLG coaster prototype
pieces.

I don't think they are compatible, the bricks are 3/4 the size of Lego bricks.

He is no longer considered a LEGO Certified Professional and has no ties with
TLG as of this time. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting him multiple
times and doing some work alongside him (he is extremely arrogant and rude when
not in the public eye, which was disappointing to discover). He told me that
he did not like the restrictions TLG put on him and his work, but I also know
there were some legal issues with him breaching contract by opening up a toy/LEGO
museum, as well as creating his own bricks.

Last I saw, his new bricks are not compatible because they are on a smaller scale.
But I only saw a prototype and not the final product.
