If there's one children's toy that is far more iconic than others, it would be [[LEGO]]. They may go by different brands, but building blocks are pretty much always associated with the name LEGO. They're easy to use. They let our imaginations run rampant. They let us act out horrific acts of violence without consequences (Besides breaking them, but the base parts are [[Tonka Tough|pretty damn indestructible]], sans the ones smaller than one-fourth a cubic centimeter). And there's also something just plain [[Rule of Cool|cool]] about seeing iconic characters in the LEGO-man look. Not to mention how ''adorable'' [[Adorable Evil Minions|little LEGO stormtroopers]] are.

* An episode of ''[[Ultimate Cake Off]]'' had the teams building cakes for LEGOLAND California's [[Milestone Celebration|10th anniversary]] (in their usual [[Cooking Duel]] way, of course).
* ''[[Myth Busters]]'' tested the veracity of a viral video in which some guys built an eight-foot diameter ball out of LEGO and successfully rolled it down a street in San Francisco. {{spoiler|The myth was Busted; the LEGO ball collapsed halfway down the hill.}} So that means it must've been glued together or the same sequence was repeated in the video.
