Man, I like my progression of Lego store locations.
First I had to cross an international border and drive almost two days straight shot to get to one.
Then we got rid of the international border problem and I just had to drive cross country. Still almost a couple days straight shot.
Then it was only 3 hours down the road.
Now it's 20 minutes from home, 10 from work.

Guess I'm now obligated to buy a set eh.
Or you could just wait until they open a store in your living room.
Am I the only one concerned that a Chinese factory seems like a terrible decision for a company who has such a great reputation for quality, safe toys?

Lego just announced they are opening a factory in China to keep up with emerging market demand.
Good for them! They don't release financials often, but... damn.
The only problem is that the Chinese plastics used are of a lower quality. There are currently parts made there for existing lego kits and you can clearly see a difference in color and quality. You can tell if a minifig torso is made in china if there is a part number on the inside fore arm and if there isn't ink printed on the neck.

I wondered why some had paint on the neck and others didn't.
Maybe by opening the own factory the quality control will go up?
On the one hand we're trying to save money...on the other hand I really want to go out and buy many minifigs. As a side note, someone needs to make an app or website that does nothing but match up head/body/legs/hair/accessories for minifigs...

Lego seems to have an unreasonable grudge against tender feet meats.
It's only defending itself against your stinky toes.

Please explain to me how people forced to work in conditions so bad they take their own lives is a hilarious joke

Yeah, some things are just off limits for comedy purposes. Especially on the internet.
You generally have to wait 200-400 years before you can.
It's not like we're talking about
