If it lasts more than few months, it just means Russians will instead be buying the be buying the cheaper asian knockoffs for their kids, which, at this point, are just as good as lego itself, which for the last decade, has cruised entirely on its brand recognition and hollywood movie tie-ins.
https://www.clonebricks.com/ is a site that covers all the lego imitators on the market, and looking at what's available, I feel like lego would have serious trouble unseating some of these companies anywhere that they managed to develop market share.
In 2016 they released a Ghostbusters set and to my shock it was 100% actual Ghostbusters and had zero reference to the 2016 film, which was pretty based. Seems like those days are over, though.
The idea is "let's cut Russia off from literally everything". This market didn't even exist before around 1990 but now they're addicted to Western consumerism and it's not just Adidas clothing (which goes a bit further back actually).
Lots of Russian feet are secretly rejoicing.
Nah, somebody in the comments mentioned having to buy Chinese knockoffs. They're probably worse.
Did the Chinese install advanced foot-penetrating technology?
It's just broken glass.
So not as painful then, can't they make anything right?
Oh good. How to make an entire country hate your fucking product.
Virtue signally the old fashioned way. Never did more harm than good, ever.
Hit em where it really hurts - no children's toys for you!

Or the old Soviet-era-style black markets will rise up again; they had no problems operating without the help of social media and computers.
And don’t forget man-children trying to relive their childhoods.
On no, not another source of globohomo propaganda
Yeah didn't lego do a "PRIDE" set recently? Globalist trash.

Oh shit. Now their kids will have to go outside and play.
This isn't gonna change shit
