@mitchjoel@pierreloic@ramonapringle@henrywarren too bad Lego ignores this truth today in pursuit of greater profits with gendered sets. -
@simeons I don't know it's the case - they still invest quite a bit in child ed research cc.@mitchjoel@ramonapringle@henrywarren -
@pierreloic@mitchjoel@ramonapringle@henrywarren Not mutually exclusive, right? -
@simeons imo lego is still committed a core value of discovery. maybe i misunderstood ur comment..@mitchjoel@ramonapringle@henrywarren -
.
@pierreloic the majority of new Lego SKUs are both more narrow in creative purpose and implicitly gendered compared to the sets of the past -
@simeons I don't know I'd necessarily agree but my little ones are just entering the lego age so I probably have a partial view...

@henrywarren@sciencebase Amazing - they even had digital typesetting, laser printing, and the 1990s cut of their logo! ;) -
@adambanksdotcom@henrywarren@sciencebase My first thought was "That looks like someone in the late 90s playing with their new inkjet". -
@TheRealPigeon Yep. The way the logo has rubbed off on the fold is more lasery, though. -
@adambanksdotcom Yes, or it could be the way the light catches the crease. Photo not clear enough to be certain. Still fake either way :) -
@TheRealPigeon@adambanksdotcom there is a german one with the same text. it looks authentic. http://io9.com/these-lego-instructions-from-1974-are-awesome-and-yes-1662169567?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow … http://www.redshift.com/~shifflett/lego/German_catalog_1974/target0.html … -
@pininci
@TheRealPigeon Fascinating. The German typography illustrates what’s wrong with the English typography! One typeset, one Word/laser -
@adambanksdotcom @pininci@TheRealPigeon Also, if it was from the 70s, it would say "printed in West Germany". Just "Germany" = post-1989. -
@blusterpolitik @pininci@TheRealPigeon Actually, the wording was “Made/Printed in Germany” thru partition; eg Magical Mystery Tour EP, 1967 - 1 more reply
