There’s no secret that Lego is one of the most famous brands on the planet. Evoking feelings of joy in old and young generations alike, the iconic bricks allow us to channel our creativity and mental abilities like no other game.
But have you ever wondered how Lego came to be what it is today and what’s next?
If so, read on to find out.
The History of Lego
Lego was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. Originating from the Danish phrase ‘leg godt’, Lego roughly translates as ‘play well’ – and that it does.
Although, Lego wasn’t always the way it is today. Lego started by making wooden toys, like cars and airplanes. Yet it wasn’t until 1963 that the Lego bricks as we know them started to take shape.
What Products for Lego make?
Although Lego’s flagship product is the Lego bricks, there are so many more Lego ranges than that meets the eye.
Some of which include:
Lego Trains
One popular Lego range is the Lego train. First manufactured in 1967, Lego trains were the first of their kind. More expensive than just the Lego brick sets; Lego trains became a desirable item for both collectors and children alike.
In fact, collectors of Lego may be in for a treat with rumours that investing in Lego is now more lucrative than investing in gold.
Marvel Lego

Why does Everyone love Lego?
The magic of Lego has encapsulated so many of us. But why exactly is that?
Firstly, Lego is an outlet for creative self-expression. As Lego allows you to create whatever you want, it’s a great way for both adults and kids to channel inner creativity. This combined with the fact that you can make replicas of your favourite Disney character or Marvel superhero, means Lego has the perfect recipe for success.
Combine that with the fact that one set of Lego gives you invite options, it’s no wonder we never tire of Lego!
What’s next for Lego?
The good news is that Lego is going nowhere. In fact, it’s set to only get bigger. By investing in sustainable and social responsibility initiatives, Lego is continuing to innovate to create a better planet for future generations. Whether that’s by investing in social initiatives or banning plastic from their packaging, we’re looking forward to seeing where they go next.
