Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History
An anonymous reader writes "Gizmodo has an exclusive video and feature of one of the most heavily guarded secrets in Lego: the security vault where they store all the Lego sets ever created, new in their boxes. 4,720 sets from 1953 to 2008. Really amazing stuff and a trip down memory lane to every person who has played with the magic bricks. All combined, the collection must be worth millions, not only because of the collector value, but also because Lego uses it as a safeguard in copyright and patent cases."
They would have totally gotten bonus points in my book if the vault and locking mechanism were actually made of Legos. It's totally doable (people have made far bigger things out of Legos), but probably insecure if you can just cut through the Legos with a Sawz-All. Still, it would have been nice if they'd made it LOOK like it were made of Legos. The Lego signs are a nice touch along those lines.
Now I have to go change my pants. Thanks Slashdot.
Sex. Drugs, and Unix.
I heard Microsoft burned every copy of Windows-ME. Along with all their source-code. That way, they are committed to using the same binaries forever.
Not to mention highly confusing once inside and ringed by a darstadly innescapable staircase that's been baffling would-be thieves for many a year.
Funny. My flying lego boats deployed pirates. I think we may have to have a throwdown.
Given Microsoft's history on security, if they *did* have a vault, I'd guess it would be made from Lego.
I hate printers.
Well from playing Civilization I learned that in fact its very possible for a phalanx to fight off a aircraft carrier and several tanks. I fail to see the problem with a knight killing an astronaut.
No, he means that mod points are fattening.
