I don’t understand what is humorous about the picture.
The lego guy has a radar…even the lego’s are monitoring each other!!
Is it the Lego police radar trap that’s the subject here? :)
edit: I type too slowly, briancataldi beat me to it…
I think the police man has a radar gun, or maybe a speed camera. hard to tell with Legos. It can be whatever you want. Either way they are setting up some kind of speed trap.
Sweet time for some nasty anti speed trap dioramas.
The cop is smiling. Must have captured some high speed bricks on his readout.
What, no tazer or nightstick?
(I kid, I kid..)
All they need is a hill for him to sit at the bottom of. Right behind a speed sign dropping the limit from 70km to 50km. Then it would be perfect.
Looks like surveying equipment to me.
Now all they need is a LEGO 1999 Mitsu Eclipse with a clamped-on Fartmaster muffler, purple lights under the car so it looks like it’s riding on a cloud of glowing purple swamp gas, shitty subwoofer, erector set wing on the trunk, and LEGO unemployed ass-clown that lives with his parents behind the wheel so the LEGO cop has somebody to pull over!!!
Yeah, kids will know from an early age that they are being watched by the friendly policeman. Lego is a Denmark company. Anybody know what the traffic enforcement situation is over there?
It’s nothing to get worked up about. LEGO has always made bad guy sets; there’s no action without them!

Some aspects of it are pretty good, as this video will show.
NSFW Warning: Unless you are employed by a strip club, you might not want to watch this at work —
I’m waiting for the Lego Volt. I’m sure it’ll be ready by 2010.
I think the point of the post was how the Lego site design is similar to this sites layout. Especially the top third of the page.
My Lego Darth Vader would kick that cop’s plastic ass.
The cop looks like Oliver Hardy…LOL
I wonder if the Lego cops come with sidearms.
Lego is so PC that while you can buy Star Wars Lego sets with lightsabers and ray guns, and medieval Lego sets with battle axes and maces, they have a corporate policy of not making any contemporary military hardware or guns.
Somehow they rationalize that fantasy or historic violence is appropriate for child’s play but anything close to a true battle between good and evil goes against their pacifist leanings.
Also, they sell worldwide so they don’t want to appear to be taking sides in any military conflict.
Frankly, their hypocrisy stinks. The up side is that it’s created a niche market for competitors and folks who package custom kits.
From LEGO:
Q: Are there any chances that Lego will ever start producing modern day warfare Lego, with tanks and helicopters and what not?
A: We have a strict policy regarding military models, and therefore, we do not produce tanks, helicopters, etc. While we always support the men and women who serve their country, we prefer to keep the play experiences we provide for children in the realm of fantasy.
Q: Why did they changed the founders rule to never make gun like elements?
A: The company still has a no gun policy when it comes to realistic or military play scenarios. However, in order to stay true to the strong licensed properties we incorporate to the Lego portfolio, we need to stay true to those properties and sometimes that involves including weapons. In our own play themes, some element of good vs. bad conflict is typically considered to provide for role play opportunities. In those instances, the setting is very clearly a fantasy world.
So as long as there are a lot of bucks involved with a licensing deal, they’ll make guns.
Somehow the notion of the conflict between good and evil as only appropriate for fantasy seems particularly Scandinavian.
Some aspects of it are pretty good, as this video will show.
Oh look, speed bumps.
@Bozoer Rebbe: brickarms.com. If I’d had access to that growing up, I’d have turned out to be one messed up individual. According to LEGO, anyway.
What you kids don’t know is that my policeman is standing behind a 2,229 Megawatt Super-Duper Bad-Guy-Frying Microwave Cannon!
Why? Cause I SAID SO!
Forget it, then. I’m taking my LEGOS home!

A lightsaber is not as clumsy or random as a gun. An elegant weapon from a more civilized age…
Lego has ultrasonic sensors available for the Mindstorms line, so with a little coding little Johnny could be setting up a real RADAR trap.

wow I’m a nerd…
This reminds me of the Playmobile airline screening playset: http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3172-Security-Check-Point/dp/B0002CYTL2
the lego speed trap is kinda funny but that playmobile (from mistercopacetic) is creepy as hell. what’s next, fisher price gitmo waterboarding playset?
btw – check out the comments on the playmobile amazon page. ‘we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”.’
PMan, my first car resembles that statement…except it was a first gen GS Turbo…and when I got rid of it it was putting down something north of 400whp. But it did have a fart can.
What they need now is the Lego sleeze ball traffic lawyer to get the Lego speeder out of a Lego traffic ticket.
What? No one’s asked about the Lego doughnuts?
This cops an imposter in Iraq and that object is a rocket launcher – the safe way to stop cars
