Ive just been told that I can have our porch as a Lego room all winter long.
Thing is that its not heated.

How cold can Lego's get?

My dad suggested that being they are 'just plastic' they could probably get
pretty darn cold.  You just probably wouldnt want to flex them when they are
super cold because they might snap.

Anyone know the temperature limitations and effects?

I kind of figured it would be in the FAQ but I couldnt find it.

Any knowledge would be greatly apreciated.

(...) ABS can handle cold temperatures reasonably well, but not all LEGO bricks are made from ABS. The transparent pieces are slightly brittle at room temp, which makes me suspect that they're made of acrylic, and acrylic does not handle cold well (...)
