Eldorado Posted May 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2019 "A box of Legos that was supposed to contain 244 pieces of bricks, gears, and axles instead held three pounds of methamphetamine, according to Georgia police. "Investigators say a trio of Georgia women recently purchased the Lego kit at a consignment shop in Charleston, South Carolina and brought it home to Statesboro, where they gave the set--which retails for $15.99 at Walmart--to a child."

freetoroam Posted May 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Lego sales could rise because of this. Quote Investigators say a trio of Georgia women recently purchased the Lego kit at a consignment shop in Charleston, South Carolina and brought it home to Statesboro, where they gave the set--which retails for $15.99 at Walmart--to a child. valued at $40,000. Thankfully the women were honest. Some would have made themselves a $39,984,01 profit out of that. Good for the women for handing it in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted May 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Personally I'd much rather find myself in possession of $40k worth of Lego bricks. Imagine the things that could be built with such a large number. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought they were much better than Lego's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
