In his videos, the Youtuber Thomas Panke reviews construction kits with “terminal blocks”, which are called Lego in parlance. He can still get excited about successful sets that were designed in Lego's Danish headquarters in Billund. However, his films can also be understood as a story of alienation. Sometimes he finds a new kit “unusable”, sometimes “dramatically overpriced”, sometimes he calls it a “370 Euro disappointment”. It happens more and more that Panke discusses the significantly cheaper kits from manufacturers from Poland or China better than the original. Now Lego has turned on its lawyers and warned Panke. But Panke knows how to defend himself. About a bizarre legal battle that threatens the image of a global corporation.
