I was going to write this post in a different tone, coming from a place of anger and disappointment. But an event occurred in which I cannot in good faith cast LEGO in a bad light as was my intention. So I write this as objectively as possible and you can be the judge and […] The post LEGO and Their Brickbuster Pin appeared first on FBTB. Original link
