Speculation on minifig reproduction: In the minifig world, there are adult and child figures (of the same size). There are also miscellaneous minifig pieces floating around in the ether (i.e. various boxes, bins, etc). Like all particles, these minifig pieces collide randomly as the pieces are swished around by giants searching for various parts. Usually, these collisions yield no change. However, sometimes a mutation occurs. Sometimes an adult minifig is split into minifig pieces. Other times, If the energy of a particular collision is high enough, minifig pieces can even be bonded back together. Often this produces some sort of hidious conglomeration which is quickly found and destroyed by the roving giants. Other times, the collision yields a new, and unique minifig. The ruling giants find this minifig, and noting that it is new and unique, the giants place the minifig into a LEGO landscape and a new figure is born!

This is an attempt to move this thread over to where IU meant to post it in the first place. I see it has come up (again) in another thread that the LEGO minifigs have no homes. I think it is long past time to put this whole question to rest. Where (...) (25 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
