Jack has Stoned You
For those who haven’t heard who Jack Stone, the character is based from a theme and computer animated series introduced in 2001 to 2003. Most AFOLs has ridiculed the character and has been sort of one of the dark parts during the struggle of the LEGO® brand. This is the reason why you’ll find the minifigure version of the character ‘stoning’ the displays at this year’s Brickalaide.
There’s a ‘no prize’ for spotting Jack but this will whole lot of fun for the last day for Brickalaide as the presence of Mr. Stone has been all over the place in this event.
