Wow, what ridiculous hyperbole.

Well, suffice it to say that YMMV.

Like any large corporation they are using whatever legal maneuvers they can
to give them a business advantage. Hating the players for following the rules
of the game is childish.

Sauce for the goose. Mega Brands is likewise “following the rules of the
game,” insofar as it is manufacturing a legally permissable product in the
competitive marketplace, yet it is routinely castigated for doing so.
If LEGO is allowed to use “whatever legal maneuvers they can to give them a
business advantage,” then surely there is no rational basis for objecting when
Mega Brands does the same.
You--or others--may not care for the product, but that’s irrelevant to the
matter at hand. Namely, that LEGO attempted to get US Customs to act as its
agent in order to give itself an unfair market advantage.
Thankfully, the US had better things to do with its time than prop up bogus
claims of trademark violation.
