Do you have kids? Are your friends helping you put this "garage?" Can you imagine the fights over who gets the red bricks?

As a child I thought Lego's were God's gift to children. My mother vacuumed them up whenever possible. Now I have three sons and they think Lego's are God's gift to children. I vacuum them up.

I seriously do like your idea, though. Initially I thought it would be a problem in a tornado, as you would have hundreds of small projectiles hurtling about (when your garage was hit) instead of a few massive walls. But then it occurred to me that if EVERYTHING was built this way, natural disasters would only be an opportunity to re-model. Since the likelyhood is that some of your neighbor's bricks would land in your yard, you could even change colors. Of course, the size of your home would vary depending on the number of bricks available to you after the disaster was over.

The major problem I see is that Lego has changed the bricks too often. When I was a kid, all you got where bricks. Now you get pegs and rivets and gears, and most bricks have holes in them for the pegs and rivets to go through. While this will be convenient for the garage door mechanism, it would make the rest of the garage rather drafty. I am almost certain Lego would want to use the special "goofy" bricks in their "Garage Set-9703" kit. They can charge more that way (it's somewhere between $.10-.30 per brick with the LITTLE ones!)


BTW...I live in Minnesnowta, not to far from that "Mall of America" deal...outside the southern entrance of which are two enormous Lego bricks. Perhaps they are already thinking on these lines in Denmark (where Lego is based).
