Interesting article about how the Lego Company almost went arse up in 2004 and how it turned itself around and made a profit a few yrs later. |

Was playing Lego Rock Band a few weeks ago, and it has this lego trivia that pops up on the loading screens, and some of it is just f***ing mindblowing. Like how theres so much lego in the world, there is something like 67 pieces for EVERY person in the entire world. Can't remember the rest, but they were pretty staggering numbers.

Interesting, there was a Lego shortage around 3-4 years ago in Australia back when I worked at Myer Melbourne's toy department. According to the suppliers Lego were moving their factories to China. Now I have my doubts. I'd so buy all the Batman, classic Indiana Jones and classic Star Wars Lego if I had room at home. |

Anyone playing with lego over the age of 12 is genetically predisposed to be the biggest load sucking cum dumpster to walk the earth.
