An Important Announcement Regarding Bionicle. (Hozzáférés: 2009. december 28.)(Hozzáférés: 2009. december 28.) Lego brings back an old hit from its toy box. (Hozzáférés: 2012. június 24.) SUL finalisation unified user accounts across all Wikimedia projects. Originally, Wikimedia wikis operated completely independently from each other, with separate user accounts and passwords for each wiki. CentralAuth was created to let users log in with the same credentials across multiple wikis, but as the wikis operated independently for years there were thousands of clashing accounts, i.e. cases where different people had registered the same name on different wikis. These clashes prevent those affected from logging in with the same name across all wikis. The goal of the SUL finalisation is to forcibly rename any clashing user accounts so that every single user has their own single unified login across all Wikimedia sites.Building the new LinkedIn Logo in LEGO bricks for the Mountain View lobby required me to buy a huge number of specific bricks in the same color.
This is useful because you can order any brick in production. Limitations are that you cannot order bricks that are out of production, and fulfillment times are often 10-15 business days for large orders.2) Fax an order to LEGO. The LinkedIn logo required over 5,000 blue 2x8 bricks as the primary component of the construction. For large, detailed orders you can call the LEGO store at 1-800-835-4386, and they will give you a fax number for the order. Unfortunately, fulfillment times here depend on brick type - I ended up waiting 6-7 weeks for some components of the order. Also, LEGO seems to have no concept of shipping notifications or tracking for orders placed this way.3) Local LEGO stores "Pick a Brick". I used both the Valley Fair and Hillsborough stores to acquire bricks at times. You can buy bricks three ways: a small cup for $7.99, a large cup for $14.99, and an entire box for $70. As you can imagine, you are somewhat limited by your ability (or patience) in terms of cramming different brick types into containers.
Most clerks will tell you that you can't buy bricks by the box - they are mistaken. Ask to talk to a manager, and they will sell you a box, but only if they have more than one in the back. They are not allowed to sell "the last box."The biggest limitation of this approach is that not only do stores not stock all brick types or colors, they also have no ability to "special order" Pick-a-Brick bricks. They get fulfillment once a week, and have no control over which bricks they receive. The trick is to call ahead, and be flexible with your design to adapt to the bricks they do have.4) Bricklink. For example, getting 20-30 small 1x2 tiles to finish off the base edges of the lettering. Bricklink is relatively slow on fulfillment, and it's common to get bricks that are discolored by age or cleaning. This means they may not match other orders of a similar brick. It's also very hard to get large orders of many brick types & colors.Overall, for the LinkedIn in LEGO project I purchased approximately 12,000+ bricks.
8,000 I was able to get over 7-8 weeks from a Fax order to LEGO. /) and click on "Buy Lego." BrickLink is a kind of Craigslist for Lego bricks -- you can get pretty much any kind ever made, in any color it was made in./PAB/ Prices aren't great but they are actually roughly about the same as what you would pay in a boxed set.Chinese artist says toy company told him it ‘cannot approve the use of Legos for political works’ ahead of exhibition at National Gallery of Victoria The latest bulk order by Ai Weiwei would have been used to create an artwork to be shown at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia later this year. Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei says Danish toymaker Lego has refused his studio’s request for a bulk order of the plastic toys on political grounds. In an Instagram post on Friday evening, the artist said Lego had refused the bulk order in September, quoting the company as saying it “cannot approve the use of Legos for political works”.
The artist’s accusation follows news this week that British firm Merlin Entertainments will open a Legoland park in Shanghai in conjunction with a Chinese partner. That announcement, timed to coincide with Chinese president Xi Jinping’s state visit to the UK, seems to have prompted the artist’s Instagram post. The latest bulk order by the artist would have been used to create an artwork to be shown at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia later this year. It is not the first time the toymaker has met with political controversy. Earlier this year, the company refused journalist Maia Weinstock’s submission to its “Lego Ideas” platform of a custom set which celebrated the female justices of the US supreme court. But despite that case, there seems to be no precedent for the company to refuse a bulk order on political grounds. Lego did not return a request for comment. An earlier major exhibition of Ai Weiwei’s work, held inside Alcatraz island penitentiary in the San Francisco bay, featured works made out of the plastic construction toys.
Ai Weiwei’s lego artwork exhibition held inside Alcatraz island penitentiary The piece, titled Trace, showed pixelated images of more than 175 prisoners of conscience including Nelson Mandela, Edward Snowden and Nobel prize-winning Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. The Danish toymaker is expanding its presence in China as growth in the US – its biggest market – has slowed. In September, the company reported that Asia provided the highest regional growth rate. The company has also invested a “three-digit million euro figure” into a new manufacturing facility in Jiaxing, to help keep up with the regional demand. A sequel to the 2014 hit The Lego Movie as well as spin-off films are scheduled for release in 2017, but it is not clear if they will be released in mainland China. The Lego Movie was not released to cinemas on the Chinese mainland but did prove popular in Hong Kong where it took the No 1 spot on its opening weekend. The film featured Lego characters attempting to undermine the villainous Lord Business and was praised by critics as an intelligent satirical take on conformity and corporate control.
