Check out the special variables for ways to make the circle-approximations more detailed (they’re still lines, but there will be more of them). http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Other_Language_Features

I love these! It’s possible I play with my son’s Legos more often and enthusiastically than he does. (Why didn’t I when I was younger? Something to do with being a girl child well supplied with dolls instead.)

If you ever change your mind about mass production…I know, copyright infringement is such an ugly phrase!

I thought of the same meta-meta-container idea as @phookyThe OCD, but I don’t think it would work. All of the normal Lego blocks inter-operate, you can have small ones connect to bigger ones. Its a very clever design. But a container needs to have sized and tops with finite width, so each larger box would have to be larger, so they would not properly connect to make, say, a wall of boxes of Legos

You will of course now need a larger lego-shaped container to contain your smaller lego-containing lego containers. This will continue until you have a single, coffin-sized lego chest, containing ln(N)/K levels of lego containment (where N is your total lego count, and K is the number of legos that can fit in each container). This will satisfy my OCD, at least.
