My favorites are when you combine Lego and biblical correctness...

I should amend the term "bad guys" to "bad faces". Some of them do have expression denoting that they are baddies, but they are only faces and they are only a very small percentage of the faces. You can fit any type of headgear or body on a head with a face. In the old days, all the faces were like this " : ) " . Even today, the "baddie" faces can be put under any hair (female too) and on any body (female too)....perhaps except the one's with beards.

Most of the faces host just ordinary everyday expressions and some are just as bland as those in the old days.

That's what we need, A smiling, kinder more compassionate Darth Vader.

Poirot,
These days it's Minecraft, it scratches the same itch.

Jay,

Yes, I think it does scratch the same itch psychologically. It's very popular.

My son has a version in which he just creates the world out of virtual cubes. In fact, I've even created a world - and when he asked me what I wanted to name it, I said "Brenda" as joke...so Brenda it is (I must go back and finish the village square)

I'll add that LEGO does assist small children with their fine motor skills, as manipulating the small pieces in "real" 3D (as opposed to virtual) is excellent for development in general.

I just had a good laugh at your photos of Lego biblical violence!
My favourites were the foreskin one, and Herrod with his insides spilling out.

Very clever indeed.
