Plus, they're not an American company outsourcing their labor to developing countries. LEGO's plastic is apparently one the highest quality ones, which is why it was such a big deal when they comitted to moving towards completely environmentally sustainable options. <cite>JigsawTDC posted [p:950669375] in why are le...
