It seems these bricks were made in the late 1970s without Lego’s authorization, by rogue employees developing new types of plastic and experimenting with their molds and various plastic colors.
It is unknown just how many of these bricks were made, but they are extremely valuable, and in my opinion and many others, very beautiful.
well said. I can’t remember the title, but I watched a documentary on the Lego company a few years ago. iirc, at one point, when they were showing some of the manufacturing process, they showed a fucked up brick, and how they try to destroy anything like that, because people act like they’re stupid-valuable, so they try to stop that stuff from getting to the public (as I understood it) almost as a way protect idiots from themselves. I get it.
