Motivation edit

LEGO is a globally well known toy construction set with significant influence. Approximately 75 billion bricks are sold each year in 140 countries. This property request allows modelling of the LEGO products which have been produced since 1949. Documentation of LEGO elements is widespread due to the significant impact LEGO products have had on the world. Dhx1 (talk) 12:44, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

  • @ArthurPSmith: I am not aware of any LEGO elements existing in Wikidata at the moment. It is a niche property proposal, but one that helps support Lego set (Q58780257) items and make these descriptions more detailed--not just how many parts, but how many parts of each colour in a set, how many parts shared by other LEGO sets, the oldest part design reused by the set, trends in use of colours and designs of parts, etc. Dhx1 (talk) 12:24, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
