Well, I just realized, Trump's supposedly planned tariffs on Denmark might...well,
given the rate the increase is given at...increase the price of Lego here by
a large margin.

We might have to start panic buying Lego....

Or TLG will start to nudge the government into complying with the simple rules
so they don’t have to get tariffed.

I wouldn’t worry too much about that, LEGO is well over priced to compensate
with this

He didn't say a number so far. He just said "high level". LEGO
isn't going to absorb a high level tariff to their biggest market. That's
as much as I can say about this within the forum policy, I think.

Half of the stuff isn’t made in Denmark anyway so they really only have to worry
about tariffs for China, Mexico, Germany and Hungry.

If those simple rules include "hand over Greenland", it might become
a tough sale, even for TLG...

True, but it may be "Let us fortify Greenland" like what they did here
in Canada with the early alert system for the cold war, in fact my town is right
next to a old base Just go past the police station, across the tracks and go
straight till ya' get to the old check point

You mean it might help me clear out the 8-10k pounds of used stuff I’m slowly
sorting through?
