A bridge only works with an AC input - it can't correct the polarity of a
DC input. So the Lego cap either has an AC input possibly through a
bridge or a DC input which is the correct polarity by means of its
connectors.

Uh, a bridge wouldn't be very good if it didn't handle inputs that
switched polarities.  A bridge should work just fine with a DC input of
any polarity (of course for any DC input, only half of the bridge is
actually being used).
