How long have Legos been around?

Since at least the Plasticsine era.

They would have made the patches out of Eggos, but there's a shortage.

Semi-related.

I want to hate this, but I'm finding that I can give it nothing but love.

They look like rendering anomalies. That makes me happy.

I really love this. I'd have been much less impressed if they had done whole walls or something large. I really appreciate the restraint shown here. Amazingly poignant.
Nice find, klausness!

As a child I always extended my other toys with lego, but this is much cooler.
