Lego Secret Vault Contains All Sets In History

Posted by kdawson on from the memory-lane dept.

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."

    The great thing about being a eunuch is enjoying things like a kid. I don't get as distracted by the more lascivious aspects of it. I wonder if some of the people in this district have done this life-changing and wonderful operation.

    I assumed it was going to be a data store of all possible combinations of every Lego block ever created so that all possible designs were prior art and their property.

    How the fuck did you get modded interesting? It's impossible to calculate. Although, I hear that once we finish calculating pi to the last digit, they are going to start working on it.
