Doctor Sinister Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 The image below is a scan of one of the pages from a desktop calendar issued by a firm of Loss Adjusters we use at where I work. Their theme for 2008 is famous brands - and LEGO features in April. This is the second page. Can you spot the mistake? Actually, there may even be more than one... I have actually drawn this error to the attention of a Senior Manager at the firm, but he didn't take me seriously! Dr. S. Quote
RupeeClock Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 no i can't see it. can you give us a hint ? - RupeeClock Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted December 8, 2007 Author Posted December 8, 2007 no i can't see it. can you give us a hint ?- RupeeClock Not yet, let's see if anyone else can get it. :-) Oh, AND I pointed out that LEGO should always be capitalised - he didn't believe me there either. Dr. S. Quote
Stauder Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 The Lego Bricks are actually some clones, as lego doesnt make bricks in those colours, and the "Lego man" isnt a Offical lego fig, but a fan made one. Also TLC began as a company making furniture. There are some more I think. Stauder Quote

RupeeClock Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 (...) the "Lego man" isnt a Offical lego fig, but a fan made one. (...) It doesn't say it's made BY lego, but made OF lego. So that isn't a mistake. About the bricks, yes that's a mistake! No lego writings on the studs, but nothing wrong with the colors. Purple and pink bricks are real. The story, well i don't know but on a i thought it started with wooden toys, not plastic ones. - RupeeClock Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted December 8, 2007 Author Posted December 8, 2007 It doesn't say it's made BY lego, but made OF lego.So that isn't a mistake. I think he might have meant the massive "mini"-fig. Dr. S. Quote
RupeeClock Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Oh that one, i saw it in real. I don't remember what the torso says, i can't read it on this angel. But i'm not sure if that thing is really from lego, or just for fun. - RupeeClock Quote
Lord Of Pies Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 It does say "Lego brick design" not actual Lego bricks to be fair. Quote
hewkii9 Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 It says they're made from acetate, rather than ABS? Quote

TheFrisian Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I noticed at first glance something wasn't right about those bricks... just horrible!!! That's quite a big mistake to make when you're doing an article on LEGO! Quote
Norro Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Dang stock photos... X-D God Bless, Nathan Quote
Batbrick Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Wow, thats pretty embarrasing to write the history of lego and then include Megablocks! :-X Clearly batbrick's mind has turned to mush! *wacko* Quote
Derek Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Clearly batbrick's mind has turned to mush! *wacko* What's that, your new catchphrase? :-D Quote
ExoBuilder Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) What's that, your new catchphrase? :-D Yes, although sadly, he changed from " to the Brickmobile", which I built! Hmmm, Should I post my new Tumbler like Brickmobile....? You have made me sad Batbrick. :'-( Edited December 8, 2007 by Exo-builder59 Quote
Batbrick Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 What's that, your new catchphrase? :-D __________ My new Sign-Off, after I didn't see something really obvious :-$ My next one will probably havesomething to do with me killing iamded or making fun of megablocks. Clearly Batbrick's mind has turned to mush! *wacko* Quote

RememberTheLittleGuy Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I've heard in the beginning of Lego, Lego bricks didn't have the word, "Lego" printed on it. By the way hewkii9, is that signature stickmen from Pivot? Quote
Siegfried Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 What a poorly made piece. I don't even agree with their summary; the success of LEGO ;-) is a lot more complicated than what they make out. :-| Quote

Piranha Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 The Lego Bricks are Clones, maybe the dreaded enlighten! :-X The Lego Bricks are actually some clones, as lego doesnt make bricks in those colours, and the "Lego man" isnt a Offical lego fig, but a fan made one. Also TLC began as a company making furniture. There are some more I think. Stauder Lego never made furniture? *wacko* It started with wooden toys, becuase it was always a toy brand Well at least thats what I have always believed I don't see any other mistakes P Quote
