I did not know that. I had the idea they were from the UK.

Btw, Lego is Danish. Or has that changed and the company been sold? I have not played with Lego for 50 years or so, I may be a bit rusty ;)

Lego is Danish but the prices have gotten a bit crazy lately

Could not tell as I have not looked at Lego at all for decades, but prices have been getting delirious with quite many things in the last few years.

Definetly not everyone buys bricks, and I'm not sure any construction company actually import bricks from other continents.. Is this relevant for us??

Infinite articles shared about military equipment, bulk raw materials, liquid LNG and what not and now you ask if this is relevant. Well well well.

They're Lego bricks, not house bricks

You should go take another look at what type of bricks Cobi makes. They're like Lego
