Brief History
The company was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The name Lego is taken from the Danish words Leg Godt which translates in English to Play Well. Originally the bricks were made of wood and used to stack in creating structures. In Denmark in 1947 production of plastic interlocking bricks began and this is the Lego we know today. Lego expanded to have factories all over the world. As the fascination and demand for Lego grew the company turned its attention to another area of marketing, Legoland Amusement Parks. Each park showcases models made from Lego bricks representing land marks and cities. They also have Lego themed rides you can enjoy. In 2015 Lego had become the worlds largest toy company.
Lego Blocks
Lego have a Classic range which is a box of various sized and coloured Lego bricks. This is aimed at beginners/parents introducing children to the idea of creating through building. The Lego plates help the stability and durability of moving the models. This range is also appealing to collectors looking for parts to complete other sets or expand existing sets.
Lego Sets
In the 1980’s Lego introduced Lego Themed Sets. The sets would include instructions for the models along with the required bricks from start to finish. Rather then imagination these sets required skill and patience. These models are based on popular various other products such as star Wars, super Mario, Marvel, Disney, DC, Harry Potter, Heroica and many more. Lego has its own range of sets too relating to more generic categories, Architecture, Technics, and Friends.
