Very cool. Do two copyright infringements (one on each side of the adapter) cancel each other out? I really like it!

At least Lego‘s patent on the bricks expired. You can’t make mini figures but bricks shouldn’t be a problem

Well done indeed

I hope that Lego (not lawyers ofc) would appreciate such creativity approach and hire creators. (E.g. similar to acquihire of OpenClaw creator by OpenAI.)

How many of us do think this way?

I am always jealous (in good way) when I see similar projects.

Indeed Amazon is chock full of shitty Chinese Lego ripoffs. The bricks do indeed fit together but the quality is abysmal.

Some of the Chinese brands have superior quality to LEGO these days.

Partly because the chinese produce the plastic that Lego use.

There is some interoperability provision to patents and copyright in European union if I remember correctly but I don't know how broad they are and if they apply to this.
