LEGO FAQs
What is LEGO?
Lego consists of plastic bricks (also known as Lego blocks), in different colours, shapes and sizes, that can combine together to create larger objects. These bricks are made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The best thing about Lego is that you can make anything with it, including vehicles, buildings, even your own Hogwarts Castle! Once you’ve created a Lego model, you can take it apart and reuse the pieces for your next project. Lego also comprises a mixture of gears and figurines (called minifigures), to get even more creative.
What Does LEGO Mean?
The word Lego is a shortened version of two Danish words “leg godt”, which in English means “play well”. The LEGO Group was founded by the Dane Ole Kirk Kristiansen and he felt that “leg godt” summed up the ideals of the company. Ole’s grandson Kjeld is the current owner of the LEGo Group.
When Was LEGO Invented?
Lego was invented in 1932 and began life in founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s carpentry workshop, which was his profession. Ole began his career producing furniture, but then changed to wooden toys in a move that would change the toy market forever (and all of our childhoods!)
Can Adults Play With LEGOs?
Adults can absolutely play with Lego. In fact, a lot of sets are now rated as 18+ for that very reason and in our experience a lot of our customers are adults buying Lego for themselves. We have put together a selection of LEGO sets for adults for anyone hoping to relive their childhood.
