Line 111:
Lego recently declined to enter a new market by refusing to permit Spinal Tap, spoof rockers, permission to use a clip of the band as Lego characters in their 'Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight' anniversary DVD, despite the video clip being a huge sensation on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTxzvsELdDM YouTube]and being used in their 'Unwigged and Unplugged' tour earlier in the year <ref>[http://www.managementtoday.co.uk/channel/MarketingSales/news/929971/lego-declines-tap-new-market/ Lego Refuse to allow Spinal Tap to use the brand]</ref>. Lego deemed the video 'innapropriate' with the wrong 'tone' and so dissallowed the use of the Lego brand by Spinal Tap.

Lots of people make large scale creations of multiple subjects out of Legos. Including lots of creations you can see at Lego theme parks and some people that make them in private like the picture to the side of a large scale passenger transport aircraft.
===Recent Finance===
Recently Lego has made an increased profit in comparison to last year (2008) according to their income statement which can be found [http://cache.lego.com/upload/contentTemplating/LEGOAboutUs-PressReleases/otherfiles/downloadB68E4C13ACF1855397DA6EFE7E564669.pdf here]. In 2008, they made a net profit of approximately $427 Million. In 2009, from January 1st to June 30th, they have made a net profit of $684 Million. If the other half of the year were to mirror the first half, they would make about 3 times as much net profit as they made in 2008.
