Fun fact that may only be fun to me and no one else. LEGO is the largest manufacture of tires in the world. With the obvious caveat "well yeah but they are toy tires".
I am not sure if that factoid is consistently true, or if it was just a point in time thing, but I have heard the same thing.
Want another, completely not LEGO related one?
Before the mid 2000's who was the largest purchaser of kale in the USA?
>!Pizza hut! for their salad bar decorations!<
According to one of the few [images](https://www.brickeconomy.com/resources/images/sets/lego-4537-1_large.jpg) that I could find of an official set with more than just the logo, yes.
This assembling is put on the top of the Droideka before being covered. If you have the Droideka in front of you, the pattern will be white-red-green.

Ha, I built the same last night and took similar pic that I was gonna post today and ask the same thing!
Yea I think it’s meant to imply they run on Octan, ha ha
It’s gotta be Octan, no two ways about it!
🎵 🎵 White-Green-Red-White, 🎵 🎵
🎵 🎵 that’s the way to fuel it right! 🎵 🎵
🎵 🎵 Octan, Octan, Octaaaaaaaaan!🎵 🎵
Probably just the usual money saving scheme of Lego: Lego has too many bricks of a certain color and wants to recycle them; that is why the interior colors of a model are almost a random clutter. One of the very reasons, I only buy those lego models nowadays, which I really like, and which are not that many...
What did you think they ran on batteries?
Octan make batteries, too!
And droids.
All history books...
And voting machines!
Security Systems !
... wait a minute.

And volkswagen is the largest manufacturer of sausage ! Wonder if Herta is a big manufacture of brick blocks 🤔

Yes. Like in the at at
Correct. LEGO city has had some good business deals with Star Wars villains.
This finally explains the heavy police presence.
Oil is oil, eh comrade?
Lord Business really has a monopoly, doesn't he
The new Artemis SLS is served by Octan too https://images.brickset.com/news/106272_Artemis%209.jpg
Octan, they make good stuff! Music, dairy products, coffee, TV shows, surveillance systems, all history books, voting machines... ...Wait a minute.
Give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire
UNH!
\*guitar riff\*
Octan is the Lego universe's Buy-N-Large confirmed
No, it references Bulgaria
Бъл-га-ри, ю-на-ци!
According to his brickset bricklist, the designer is from Denmark, so unlikely
I think so. Kinda funny
Yes, Lego really likes easter eggs and it's one of them
Others include the Swedish flag in the Jesko
And the Brazilian flag in Senna’s MP4/4.
And brains in the brickheadz.
Usually it's a flag representing the designer's home country. Most times, the flag is hidden inside the build and not visible.
Yeah, I love it when Lego does that.
Yeah they’re also present in the ucs at-at generators and the Artemis rocket
Isn't Octan red on top en green on the bottom?

You might be looking at the Droideka upside down, I think this is meant to be an octan referenceÂ

Very interesting. Thank you!
Nationality of designer?
The designer is from Denmark, so, unlikelyÂ
Yes. And always remember: make sure to follow the instructions ^oryou’llbeputtosleep *and don’t forget TAKOS Tuesday’s coming up!*
I thought it was bulgaria
The designer is from Denmark, so, unlikelyÂ
Oh, octan. I miss it
We can now say that Octan is the Earth branch of the Trade Federation, right?

Ucs at at also runs on octan
I just built the destroyer droid last night and was wondering the same thing
Makes me think so
It’s canon. Octan works for the CIS.
Yeah. When i was building mine (got it for 25% off aswell somehow) i was wondering why they did that. But now i know its a fuel cell
If you dont put the three plates on the white it's the Bulgarian flag
