Lego Bricks Inspiring Kids For 50 years

lego-logo.jpgThe most amazing thing happened right this second. (Jan 28th 1:58 PM) The Lego brick turned 50 years old.

Can you imagine just trying to build things with sticks a rocks. That is just inhumane. Kids need multi-colored easily connected blocks of joy to grab their imagination and turn them into creative adults with something to live for.

My favorite was the Galaxy Explorer sets rockin’ the early 80’s. Point toward Denmark and shout Happy Birthday.

The freaks over at Gizmodo have thrown a great celebration with facts, timelines and best Lego sets in history.

  • Inter-Galactic Command Base (1985) was my all time favorite
  • I was a deprived child, and therefore never had a Lego set of my own. I do remember though my mom babysat this one kid that did have some. I was bigger than him, so I'd beat him up and play with his Legos.
  • ah yes, harsh times call for harsh measures.

    Any of the Lego Technic sets were awesome. I never got the big ones though :(
  • Weren't Lego Sets awkward? I was around way before they hit the store shelves. I kind of liked the erector sets more. I still have my son's set in the garage and I use it at times for experimental ideas. :)
