COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – The LEGO Corporation unveiled its newest collectible: a LEGO set of President Donald Trump, complete with a fully plastic Nobel Peace Prize medal that snaps proudly onto his torso.
According to LEGO’s press release, the medal is “100% authentic LEGO plastic, 0% international committee approval,” a design choice the company says reflects its commitment to imaginative play and hypothetical achievements.
The set contains exactly 654 pieces, a number LEGO insists was chosen after “extensive market research, several heated meetings, and a dart thrown at a board.”
Builders can assemble multiple facial expressions, including “victory grin,” “defiant scowl,” and a special limited-edition “tweeting at 3 a.m.” look.
The instruction manual reportedly includes optional steps, alternative facts, and a warning that some pieces may strongly disagree with each other during assembly.
Despite, or perhaps because of, its satirical flair, the set sold out just five days after hitting the market. LEGO stores reported long lines of customers ranging from hardcore collectors to confused grandparents who “just wanted the yellow one with the funny hair.”
Secondary markets immediately lit up, with resellers asking astronomical prices and insisting the set was “definitely an investment” and “probably historic.”
LEGO executives say they are surprised but delighted by the reaction and are already considering expansions, including an “Oval Office Playset,” a “Press Conference Chaos Pack,” and a deluxe gold-colored storage box for the plastic Nobel medal.
“At LEGO, we believe every child should be able to build the world as they imagine it,” a spokesperson said, “even if that world comes with a Nobel Prize you can clip on and take off whenever it’s convenient.”
