One of my pupils sent me this picture. He bought a Lego Advent Calendar – it’s a boxed item – and this was revealed in one of the windows. He said it can only be a hoodie with a knife:
When he told me about it I asked him to send it to me for the blog. On first sight I thought “no, that is a sword – not a knife”, but when I mentioned it to him tonight he was quite specific that the hat is a baseball cap, the white top has a hood on the back, and Lego only do two types of sword and they’re both oversized like that (it turns out he’s a bit of an expert on Lego). Now that I look more closely, the logo on the front is actually an open neck with drawstrings, side pockets, and an elasticated hem. And his face is spotty/freckly.
It is a hoodie.
What the hell is Lego playing at selling this stuff to kids?
