Heh, I thought that was pretty funny too-- although if I'm not mistaken, I think
that's what was actually intended:
"Un véritable orgasme plastique, pour lequel les vrais fans du célèbre jeu de
construction sont prêts à tout."
"Une vraie orgie de Lego!"
My French is pretty rusty, but I think the translation would be something like:
"A veritable orgasm of plastic, for which true fans of the celebrated building
toy are ready"? And the 2nd quote speaks for itself :) [apparently "orgasm" is
masculine and "orgy" is feminine... innnnteresting...]
