I heard speculation that set 40358 "Bean There, Donut That" is the only set that LEGO ever produced where the name of the set is also a joke. Is that true? Or are there other sets names that contain a pun or double meaning?

  • It would make sense that there wouldn't be very many sets with punny names. Jokes tend to be regional and thus difficult to translate or localize.

  • I can understand their motivation for avoiding it, but I am always amazed at how our regulars can find things with very little to go on. I thought that it would be more likely in the promotional sets since those tend to be locally-focused, but flipping through brickset I didn't see anything.

Not a great pun, but the 2016 advent calendar was:



40222-1: Christmas Build-Up



Sort-of a pun/double-meaning on LEGO being a building toy, and the set being meant to build-up to Christmas.



The 2017 version also has the same name.

  • They did this in 2017 too with the same name. brickset.com/sets/40253-1/Christmas-Build-Up But so far those are the only two "build-up"s they've done.

This set name is almost-certainly intended as a humerus reference to Knight Rider:



30376-1: Knighton Rider

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
