A long time ago, in a different far far away galaxy, I had a run in with the
Lego legal department. I was buying an old store model on ebay and got an
e-mail from one of their lawyers. She said Lego wanted the model back that I
was high bidder on. I sort of chuckled and then answered her saying No Way.
I sent my phone number and she called me and said that Lego owned the
property and it was illegally sold and if I was such a fan of Lego I would
want to return it. I answered by saying that I am a big fan and wanted to
save it as Lego destroyes its old displays. She mumbled something and hung
up. I called Lego’s customer service and was passed around a bit and finally
talked to someone rather high up in the pecking order. This person was very
accomadating and after I told my story he told me not to worry; they did not
want it back and would talk to the legal department and the woman I talked to
in particular. Never heard another word, except I did receive a letter of
apology from lego. That is my story of my run in with the Lego legal
department. John P

That’s...really odd. I know I’m not alone in this, but they actually sent me
a display item several years ago (the 6’ tall cardboard Tahu standee). I’ve
also had a local LEGO rep offer to hook me up with one of the gigantic
“lifesize” Pakari masks (unfortunately, I ended up moving before I ever saw her
again, and the odd thing is that it turned out I only lived a few blocks from
her, so I could have just gone and collected it in person except she never
volunteered her name or address). I’m sorta hoping to run into one of the LEGO
reps that’s local to my new area so I can see if it’d be possible to get one of
those 2’ tall posterboard replicas of the Batman minifig that they’ve got up in
all the TRU stores.
