825:, less often as single-variety or mixed bulk. In addition to the main model of a set, building instructions for an alternative model ("B-model") are occasionally included, often advertised as such ("2-in-1", "3-in-1"). Building blocks are produced in different shapes, sizes and systems worldwide by various manufacturers, with the majority of manufacturers following Lego's construction dimensions, a grid size of 8 Ă— 8 mm (and other shape specifications), to keep their plug-in systems compatible. In addition to the standard shapes, most manufacturers produce special bricks onto which, in turn, bricks of the type described at the beginning can be placed or clamped. 722: 425: 417: 121: 811: 24: 170: 1040:, which is to be prevented. The root cause can be found in the trademark act. Thus, for example, complex words have arisen in the German language that attempt to dignify the cease-and-desist declaration, which, however, is also understandable considering the history of the building block. Thus, it must be internalized that Lego is only a manufacturer of building blocks. 310:
