If you’re reading this in April of 2020, you’re well aware of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the world. I won’t beat the deceased Thoroughbred talking about it as I’m sure you are sick of the media reports about it, but it has been fun to see how LEGO has popped up through it all.
One side note… my work has been using the term “physically distancing,” We need to stay apart physically so we don’t spread disease, but socially we need to remain connected to get through this together.
From 18 March 2020, there was Conan O’Brien who posted the picture below on Twitter (direct link). It looks like they were building #42110-1: LEGO Technic Land Rover Defender.
And then Daniel Radcliffe was interviewed by Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” and he mentioned building #75936-1: T. Rex Rampage over three days with his girlfriend. Not bad for a guy who has characters who appear in LEGO sets. The clip is below, but you can advance to around the 7.55 mark if you want to hear the LEGO discussion.
That’s it for now. Have you seen any others? Send them to me at store@bricksforbricks.com or post them in the comments and I’ll do another post.
Are you building anything while at home? I’m working on #10270-1: Bookshop. Haven’t finished it yet, but I’ll get a review out when I’m done.
Happy building and stay healthy!
