Hmmm - if LEGO bricks were made of enameled steel I would suspect that one
didn't know what one was talking about.  But I think you meant to say that
the *inside* of refrigerators are made of the same stuff LEGO is made of ...
;-)

If LEGO was ever made of steel, not only would it be rather heavy on a per
piece basis, but it would also break your foot if it landed on it!  Ouch!!
;-)  Mind you, it wouldn't stop me collecting LEGO - might slow me down a
bit though ...  ;-)

Cheers ...

I once posed this question to Consumer Affairs.  They told me that not • even
is LEGO fine in cold weather, but that refrigerators are made of the same
material as LEGO bricks.  That's what they said...

Most of the GMLTC layout is stored in a trailer, which AFAIK is outside
through the entire rather cold MN winter...

Now that *is* handy to know.

The next question is: is it safe to play with low temperature LEGO, or
is it likely to shatter and cause multiple lacerations? :-)

I can see myself storing it outside, writing a recipe to build with,
then going and getting the parts, before letting them thaw out so that I
can use them.
