The secret's out! But keep it down - I don't think they've figured out who
I am yet! ;)
This job has been a real eye-opener for me - if there aren't enough
high-detail sets hitting the shelves, it's not the fault of the designers.
(*cough* Marketing *cough*) The models the designers have sitting around
the office would make you weep to see them - their awesomeness is beyond
belief! Apparently that's the product of access to warehouses full of Lego
and getting paid to play with it on a full-time basis. Unfortunately, if I
brought a camera to work and started flashing pictures I think I'd be
summarily dragged out to the parking lot and shot.
There's a sign on the door of our wing of the studio that says "TOP SECRET
RESEARCH FACILITY - USE OF DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED." I'd been here
almost a week before I read the reast of the sign - some wiseguy had gotten
one of the signs from Area 51 and hung it up as a joke. For some reason I
had never thought to question even for a second the idea that killing would
be justified in defense of Lego secrets. In fact I was even hoping to get
fingered for a mission to go out on a couple of pre-emptive strikes against
the Mega Bloks offices, just to show that we were serious.
So the lack of Lego death squads was a disappointment. Regardless, as all
the folks who've already e-mailed me can tell you, I'm still not actually
allowed to talk about the job in anything but the vaguest terms, so don't
everybody send me a pile of letters hoping I'll reveal secrets of Lego's
inner workings.
