Yeeeeaaaaah, no. 

I know about all the controversy about Lego and the shit they pulled the recent years but I really don't want to derail this thread so please end discussion here.

Wow that's awesome!!! I've heard you get an employee discount when talking with the associates at my local LEGO Store (very friendly).

I work as a Senior Process Architect, i work mainly in mould building, so i develop and build new factories based on new technology to build moulds (the things that makes the bricks) so a lot of focus on digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0, physical production and so on. but my role is full setup so it also includes

 

Financial setup, Organization, Strategy and so on..  (it is in my BIO)

 

Personally i´ve always been a GIANT LEGO® fan, came from B&O and Vestas as an engineer, and have always sought towards companies where i had some sort of love for the product.

 

Again everything i say about the product is my opinion and not the opinion of the company i work in, just to clarify.

I remember doing stuff for space travel in my younger days, that was a bigger dream for me than this. 

 

JPL engineers, NASA employees, Space X. are a completely different league, being able to uncover something no on has ever tried before, and having no room for failure would be the dream.

 

That type of job also sorts away weaker links, and people are like minded. (my guess)

That is amazing!!! I recall that LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine so it's nice to see a product made by a company you used to work for.

 

Thank you for the work you do!

I am at my local Walmart and I see someone putting lego on the shelf.

So I asked if I could have one of the shipping boxes. Well I got one.

You're lucky. I called my local LEGO Store about those boxes and they said due to them having the LEGO name on the side, they are unable to give them out and have to crush them immediately after the contents (sets) are removed from the box. Just wanted them to store all my LEGO sets I have in one box instead of all over my room .

 

Although I do have just one box but the LEGO Taj Mahal came in that box.

well thats a lego store I was at a walmart so it might be different

[CommanderAlex]

I...couldn't resist.

 

 

One thing I'm kinda annoyed about is they didn't offer any freebie with a new/exclusive set for VIP members...oh well!! The LEGO store had them prepared in bags already when I arrived. Saw two guys walking out with bags and I thought they were out of stock already .
