The Lego Group, commonly known as Lego, was founded in 1932 by Ole Christiansen in Denmark. The Danish word Lego means play well. The company is the world’s largest toy maker (in terms of revenue), outselling even Mattel. In 2016, the company had annual revenue of $4.2 billion.
The company is known for making plastic “bricks” that stick together to build almost anything a child’s imagination can dream up. The original bricks were made of wood, but were switched to plastic after WWII. The company also has 4 amusement parks around the world, called LegoLand. One of these is located in Carlsbad, California. There is also a LegoLand Water Park located in the state of Florida.
Lego has admitted that they are aware of the problems their product causes in terms of environmental damage. The company has taken steps to reduce waste, recycle waste, and create their own source of electricity via wind turbines.
Gender neutral Legos ? And you call yours self’s inspiring the builders of tomorrow ! Well what the Hell is that suppose to look like you asses ! ? How dare you push this politicized , confusing , non identity crap on innocent children ! I think the whole agenda is to twist the minds and hearts of our children so that they are so confused they will buy anything the Government and you bunch of Corporate Globalists say ! I’ll never buy this garbage for my Grandkids ! Ever !
I purchased a Lego Harry Potter “Knight Bus” set for my grandson for Christmas and a piece was missing from it. One of the rims, so could you please send us the missing part so he can finish the piece. Item #75957. I will also send a letter to the Connecticut office asking for the part. Thank You.
My 11 year old grandson mentioned yesterday that a lot of the good LEGO builds are retired. Please bring back some of your retired sets. You have new builders being introduced to Legos everyday that won’t have a chance to make some of your great sets. The architectural landmarks are great. I would like to see holiday buildings that could be added onto every year similar to Department 56 villages. The family can build them together each Christmas around the train. Thanks!
So sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Knudsen. One of my favorite aspects of the LEGO world are the figurines. Will there be a commemorative figurine in his honor?
Hi, I’m 73 years old and I love lego. I really wanted santas workshop but didn’t want to pay the hundreds of dollars people are asking for it. I saw a cheaper price on an American web site and ordered it. I have just discovered that I have been scamed. I’m asking you could you please consider putting out a new santa and his sleigh, with reindeer of course, I would buy it for sure. I hope you will consider it and make it available in Australia. Thanks for your time, Jan.
My name is Jill Amato, and I am a second grade teacher in a low to middle class area. Our students come to school with many emotional and social baggage, that often interferes with their learning. I am a coordinator for a free school program for these students, called IALAC (I Am Loveable and Capable). Over the past few years I have found that the children are often more comfortable sharing their stories and challenges if they are engaged in non academic activities. I had a giant box of legos that has since disappeared, and was wondering if there are any educational funds available to would allow you to donate lego building blocks to our school. Our students range from kindergarden to 5th grade. Should this be a possibility-our mailing address is : Lafayette Estates School #25, 500 Fords Avenue, Fords, NJ 08865. If it is not possible, I totally understand and will continue to value the hours of enjoyment that your products provide. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Respectfully, Jill Amato IALAC Coordinator
