When i was a kid, LEGO to me meant little colorful blocks that you could use to build little cities, and to parents, it was a reason to wear shoes around the house. I have just recently found out that LEGO’s were not stuck in there old ways, but instead, they have inbraced the new technologies and enbedded these technologies into there toys. Don’t get me wrong, the classics never die, but there is nothing wrong with a little change and i think LEGO know this all to well.
One of LEGO’s most popular achivements, i am sure you have heard of it or even played it, LEGO Star Wars. Is just a example of there work. You have to stop and admire there determination to bring fun to the people, by animating a toy i am sure that at one point, everyone, wished that there little buddy living in the house of LEGO’s was real. Yeah, i know there was Barbies and Action figuers of all sorts, but almost everyone in america has played with LEGO’s.
