Trump Take LEGO

LEGO has stopped shipping more than 2,500 individual bricks through its Pick a Brick program to the United States and Canada. The text links the change to shifting U.S. trade policy and says the end of the de minimis exemption likely made the service untenable.

Reading notes

#

• Pick a Brick lets fans buy individual bricks, including pieces that are hard to find or needed for specific builds.
• LEGO says the program will no longer be available to Americans and Canadians.
• New Elementary noticed the change on August 25, before the August 29 end of the de minimis trade exemption in the U.S.
• Many of the affected bricks cost less than a dollar.
