I need the plans to build this, then it's off to legoland to buy all the bricks needed!A 6-year-old kindergartner sparked an uproar at his Massachusetts school when he was spotted brandishing a tiny plastic Lego gun on the school bus last week.Mieke Crane, the child's mother, insists that officials at Old Mill Pond Elementary School in Palmer overreacted when another student saw the toy, which is slightly bigger than a quarter, and alerted the driver Friday.'She [driver] said he caused quite a disturbance on the bus and that the children were traumatized,' Crane told the local station WGGB
Tiny weapon: A 6-year-old kindergarten student was slapped with detention for bringing this Lego gun, which is only slightly larger than a quarter, on a school bus Hullabaloo: Officials at Old Mill Pond Elementary School forced the child to write a letter of apology to the bus driver In the aftermath of the incident, the school sent a letter home to parents explaining what happened and stressing that there was no actual firearm aboard the bus, and that the students were never in any danger.The missive was accompanied by a photo of the black toy gun showing its actual diminutive size. Crane's son has been forced to write a letter of apology to the bus driver. He was also given detention Tuesday and could be temporary stripped off his busing privileges. 'I could see if it was, you know, an Airsoft gun or some sort of pistol or live bullets or something. This is just a toy,' the mother said.The student who yelled about the toy gun on the bus also had to issue an apology, which both the child's mother and Crane believe was a mistake because kids should be able to speak up when they see something suspicious.
Mother speaks: Mieke Crane, the boy's mother, insisted that her son knows that guns are bad, but he did not make the connection between his Lego toy and a real firearm Crane insists that her 6-year-old son knows that firearms are dangerous and have no place in school, but he simply did not consider his toy as a weapon. ‘At 6 years old, I don’t really think he understood the zero tolerance policy and related it to this as the same,’ said Crane.MailOnline attempted to contact Ms Crane Tuesday, but was unable to reach her.A call was also placed with Palmer Public Schools, but school officials were not immediately available for a comment.There have been several incidents in recent months involving students getting in trouble for bringing toy guns to school. Panic: Another student spotted the toy gun aboard a school bus and yelled to the driver to alert her In February, a 10-year-old boy from Virginia was arrested for bringing a fake gun that looked like a semi-automatic handgun onto the school bus.
Around the same time, a 7-year-old boy from Colorado was suspended from school after he lobbed an imaginary grenade on the playground while pretending to be a war hero.In March, 5-year-old Jonah Stone was given a half-day suspension for bringing a plastic toy gun to his kindergarten class. Lots of good business ideas have emerged from kids' play. Seattle-area resident Will Chapman could thank his youngest son. At the age of 9, he wanted to know all he could about World War II and was using Lego toys to act out history. But his son was stymied — he couldn't find all the pieces he wanted. Each year Lego turns out 19 billion plastic bricks, figures and gears for building things. But sometimes, it seems, even 19 billion isn't enough. "So we said, 'Let's try to make them out of Lego bricks.' You can't make the weapons and the helmets he was looking for with the parts Lego has, so I said, 'Let's try to make them ourselves,' " Chapman says. "I just assumed it was another one of his creative adventures," says Will's wife, Jennifer.
"I really had no idea it was going to become a business." But one thing led to another. Chapman would soon give up his day job as a software engineer and become an entrepreneur. As soon as you walk in the door of the company known as BrickArms, you know you're in the lair of a Lego addict. Just about everywhere you look in this modest industrial space occupied by just Chapman and his wife, you see blank Lego pieces such as heads and torsos in multiple colors. You see display cases filled with authentic Lego minifigures along with Chapman's own creations, like a World War II soldier wearing a bandolier with ammunition pouches, a canteen and suspenders. Pretty amazing, considering the figure is only about an inch and a half tall. "He's got a T-shirt and a little bit of his neck showing, and on his back he's got a medical kit, he's got a utility pouch, he's got a couple of wrinkles, showing how that shirt might look if it were made of material," he says. You won't find anything quite like this that's made by Lego.
Christoph Bartneck, who's written extensively about Lego and compiled a catalog of its minifigures, says Lego makes weapons and fighters from the Wild West and the fantasy world, "but anything from the great wars or modern warfare is something they do not do." He says it's a decision based on the company's philosophy about what is appropriate for Lego play. "And war themes don't really blend in there very well. The secondary market, of course, satisfies this need," he says. Now, you might think Lego would try to sic its lawyers on companies like BrickArms — but it doesn't. And while Lego doesn't publicly endorse them, it acknowledges they offer something some of its fans want. Chapman is free to turn blank Lego pieces, which he buys in bulk online, into custom figures. For his weapons, which typically retail for about $1 a piece, he uses computer-aided design programs and then makes a prototype using what's essentially an enhanced hobby-grade machine. Chapman has taught himself a lot about design and the manufacturing process, but is quick to say that advanced technology and software allow him to do things he couldn't have done just a few years ago.
