Did Santa happen to overlook the Lego-shaped flash drive you had on your wishlist this year? Tell him he can make it up to you by swinging by a Danish post office and picking up the nation’s new Lego-themed postage stamps (which are the currency for mail, which is kind of like email, except printed on paper).
The Danes issued two different Lego-themed designs on January 2 to launch the European Postal Service’s 2015 Europa theme of national “Old Toys,” according to Linn’s Stamp News. “When it comes to toys, you don’t find anything bigger or more popular than Lego bricks,” Post Danmark head of design Martin Pingel said in the stamps’ release, explaining why Lego was the obvious choice. (Alternatively, Denmark is also known for these sweet mid-century teak viking figures, which didn’t make the cut.)
The 10-krone ($0.16USD) stamp features that familiar baseball-capped figure you may recall from your childhood aspiring architect days, and for a little extra, you can get the mod-hairstyled lady in green on the 14.5-krone version. Both sexes appear to live in a Archigram-style surrealist world of floating, brightly colored building blocks, with 4.1 million 10kr stamps and 1.9 million 14.5kr stamps to be printed in strips of 10, according to the product’s release. In the US, they’re available through the Denmark Stamp Agency in North America — a great buy if you’re building a stamp collection *badump-bink*.
