Codes and references
For people who are looking, LEGO sets are full of references and codes. This image shows a few:
The numbers 01001100, 01000101, 01000111, 01001111 represent the numbers 76, 69, 71, 79 in binary, and those correspond to the letters LEGO in the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character code chart.
The number 0937 on the torso and on the ticket represents the word LEGO upside down.
The runes in the tile are in Older Futhark. The runes in the center spell "LEGO". The runes in the upper and lower border spell "LEG GODT PLAY WELL".
The Greeble in the Greeble Trail on the map is a reference to a LEGO building technique where lots of small parts are added to a surface in order to break up the surface and to make it look more detailed, interesting and believable.
"Kneel before Zod" combines references to the DC Universe superheroes Superman and Batman. In this newspaper article, the slogan has changed from an evil general demanding obedience and submission, to the result of an election poll. The LEGO voters do seem to be in favour of candidate Kneel, who "will not enslave humanity".
I like seeing these, and there must be many that I have not seen yet. Please link to your favourites below :-)
