They have ‘‘no politics rule’’ btw.
The state agents and contractor actors are out of control on that site. They find a way to propagandize anything and everything from home improvement to subs on the Honda Civic. They are their own definition of the KGB x100
Lego has sets for US police and IIRC military. At the same time they have prohibited sales in Russia.
Military? I know they spam city police too much, but don’t they have ‘‘no army’’ rule along with ‘‘no violence, horror etc’’ rule?
And wtf no Legos in Russia fr?
but don’t they have ‘‘no army’’ rule
It could be third party copycats tbh.

Well the existing stock is still being sold from what I’ve seen, however Lego brand shops have been renamed (in my city at least). They’re now called “Мир кубиков” (World of little cubes).
Probably copycats, and what happened, why did they change it?
Because when SMO/Ukraine war began, many western companies began posturing about ceasing all operations with the “aggressor”. Among those were Lego, McDonald’s, IKEA, etc. Some of the companies have sold their assets to local businesses (as is the case with McDonald’s, which became Vkusno i tochka). I haven’t kept track of Lego, but it stands to reason that they did the same - so the shops continue to operate, but not under the “official” brand. Any of it make sense?
Btw i noticed that Lego long resisted opening factory in China. They ultimately did, and by now China produces a lot of strangely identical bricks, i wonder if they sell or would sell those in the rebranded shops in Russia (i bought few figures on Ali since they have Red Army ones for example and they are easily the same quality as original Lego).
It’s really unfortunate that Lego doesn’t make army sets, we could have tanks, Su planes, guns etc. They also made too many space sets but forgot Gagarin.
They would probably made US army anyway
Most Lego shows and movies are just straight copaganda. Mostly “cops and robbers” narratives.
Because racism and xenophobia has seeped into every facet of the west. actually not even seeped, it’s in the foundations to begin with. This is not surprising. They don’t even think of this as politics.
