9 Things You Didn't Know About LEGO

7. The Magnifying Lens Really Works

LEGO Mini Figs often come with bonus features, but few as cool as this one. The Detective character from 2011's Series 5 packs a working magnifying glass. No s***t Sherlock! It comes with an actual lens inside.

Although the figurine bears a striking resemblance to a certain master detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this isn't a licensed piece of kit.

The character makes a cameo appearance in the video game LEGO City Undercover, turning up on a billboard, and is referred to in that as Doorlock Homes.
