I was also intrigued to see a real MRI scanner built with Legos. Also disappointed to see they only give away 600 of these. What's the total cost of this marketing campaign for Lego? $20k?

Just a heads up, but LEGO is also plural ;-)

See section titled "Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site" at the following URL: https://www.lego.com/en-us/legal/notices-and-policies/fair-p...

I grew up not using the plural form Legos. But I also grew up thinking that it's important to never let a big company tell you how to speak.

Sure, but they defined the term. It's reasonable to follow the pronounciation. Intentionally doing the opposite is a pretty strange stance.

Still, people refuse to say 'gif' correctly either, so you just can't win sometimes.

Imagine obeying a corporation that doesn’t even pay you

I imagine the marketing staff costs alone would massively exceed that.

Its a budget for ant-children

I had assumed that this was the case. A child-sized MRI but with a lego fascia

Would be amazing feat of physics to build powerful magnets from plastics

I thought it was a machine to image Lego bricks. Pleasantly surprised by the press release.
