Lego piece has been around since 2009.

What is Lego Piece 26047 made from?

The material Lego Piece 26047 is made from is Polycarbonate. This can be considered a strong plastic but it isn’t as flexible as ABS plastic which is commonly used in Lego bricks, or Nylon and Rubber which is also used in Legos. According to Wikipedia: Polycarbonates are notable for high impact resistance; they are excellent replacements for glass when transparency is required, can withstand extreme environments like high heat or corrosive chemicals and resists UV radiation. Polycarbonate has recently been developed by Bayer Material Science (the same company that produces Aspirin) and in my opinion was an obvious choice for Lego pieces which have always had a strong focus on children’s safety.

Where was Lego Piece 26047 found?

Lego piece 26047 was found in Denmark by a 10-year-old boy, who was vacationing with his family. He asked his father if he could keep it as a souvenir, and his dad agreed. The family left for home and (unbeknownst to them) smuggled Lego piece 26047 across several international borders. It eventually made its way into their house, where it remained hidden from view for nearly two years. When someone noticed it on a shelf and contacted Danish police, they confirmed that Lego piece 26047 was indeed missing from Legoland Billund since February 2014 . That’s when Lego began an investigation of its own that would eventually lead them back to Lisette Jørgensen’s house in New York.

How much does Lego Piece 26047 cost?

Lego Piece 26047 currently retails for $2.29 USD on Lego’s online store and can be ordered directly from them if you don’t have a local shop that sells Lego Pieces. Alternatively, third-party sellers of new, unused pieces sell their own versions on Amazon. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to purchasing new, your best bet would be Etsy where sellers have both new and used copies available starting at around $1 USD. After having watched BrickLink’s sales trends over time, I’ve noticed that prices fluctuate wildly between sellers so it’s important to shop around before settling on one price point as an average cost for a single piece.
