Rather incredible, so will we have biodegradable Lego next?

I wonder what else is yet to surface(pun) from the hundreds of shipping containers lost overboard every year?

If you read the BBC article Kotaku link to, you'll find it says there were disposable cigarette lighters lost some time before the Lego shipment, that have been washing up.

yea the b model of the crawler kit seemed a bit of a phone in , my kid never botherd with it that was the only b model he hadnt done.

on the last day of school i got my son the crane and my daughter the grand prix racer

he slapped the crane together in a couple days then he moterized it and drove it around and craned and all that, my lady is about 20 steps in on the racer its cool tho she does it completely on her own now, when she did the helicopter i sat with her and played my tele, now she just does a bit on her own when she feels like it
it is about time!

And here I was being proud of my 3 year old building something resembling a zoo for the elephant and giraffes (and fireman, locked in a cage for some reason) out of Duplo bricks.

How do you guys buy your kids Lego and not be tempted to play with them yourselves.

"Daddy, I wanna..."
"Fuck off kid, I'm building a mecha right now."
