A Lego enthusiast is packing up his toys and going home as a dispute of biblical proportions brews over a potentially controversial display. Lezle Luketina-Johnston created a series of 12 well-known Bible stories and was surprised and offended when BrickCon New Zealand organisers asked him to tone them down. BrickCon New Zealand has brought 100 exhibitors from around the country, including Luketina-Johnston, to Palmerston North to show their intricate Lego displays at the Central Energy Trust Arena over Queen's Birthday Weekend. WARWICK SMITH/STUFF Lezle Luketina-Johnston believes the organisers' request was artistic and religious censorship. But a baby about to be cut in half and human sacrifice, even in Lego, carried too big a risk of causing offence.
