    "That brick is made from 14-carat gold, though, and between 1979-81 was given out to employees who had worked at the LEGO company for 25 years.

    So it's not only made out of solid gold"

    Anyone raise a small eyebrow on that last point?

    'Solid' as in 14k, hollowed out Gold brick?

    :lol:

    From a time when valued employees were given REAL gifts for their years of service.

    That's hilarious! Playing with it could be risky, as gold is very soft and could get damaged...

    If it's not 24 k, then it's less soft, of course...

    So Richie Rich is playing with these? :p

    GOOD!

    For all those times I've stood on LEGO bricks in the middle of the night, there's no pain quite like it! I'm sure evervone will agree! :D
