If you know anything about lego you know they'd rather sue the author into oblivion than work with him. He should contact other brick manufactures instead.

  Their patent is expired. You can make your own lego now.

  The following Wikipedia article has a list of companies producing Lego compatible clone blocks. (See the “Brands” section of the linked article.) Maybe he can work with one of those companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_clone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_clone

  There is some precedent for Lego bringing outside ideas in. Adam Reed Tucker started doing architectural models outside Lego before they brought him on to create the still-running Lego Architecture line. Earlier sets even had his name on them. Chris McVeigh (aka Powerpig) had a website selling custom sets he designed, including retro computer sets, and a line of “brick sketches”. He’s now a designer at Lego. His Brick Sketches are official sets, and he’s designed retro computing adjacent sets too (including the new Atari 2600 set). There’s also the very successful Lego Ideas program.

  Would any other manufacturer be able to stand the heat ? To note, it's really a plea for Lego to not kill them. The author's quote: > There’s a difference between doing something that is acceptable and being able to actually fight if they decide to throw their weight around.
