I'm not positive this will work, but maybe try using hand sanatizer. I know that the little girl my mom babysits colored all over our computer screen & my brother just rubbed hand sanatizer all over it and it came off really easily. It's worth a tryyy. Hope I helped:]

Use hairspray to remove permanent marker from plastic. non- aerosol works best ("spritz") because you can pour it on to a cloth and scrub of the marker.

not sure if it would work- but nail polish remover might work. thats what my family used to use when pen marks got on our dolls and stuff- so it might work on legos. you can get it at any dollar store for real cheap. hope it works!

rubbing alcohol is your best bet. even that Purell hand sanitizer stuff would work. if neither of those are available, try nail polish remover.
to use it, put it on a cotton ball or even toilet paper and scrub it off. <3

Try finger nail polish remover. I've used it to get permanent marker off of wood, tape off of an mp3 player (please don't ask), and many other things. I don't see why it wouldn't work with sharpies and legos. =) You probably have some in your house and if you don't, you can find it at the grocery store. Just pour some into the cap, dip a cotton ball into it, and then scrub the legos with said cotton ball.

EDIT- Ha. I typed "finger nail polish" before. DEFINITELY don't use that, I meant to say REMOVER. =D
