Different LEGO Themes and Star Wars
America’s favorite toy, LEGO had a humble beginning. Lego which in Danish means “let’s play” was started by Ole Kirk Christiansen. He started off constructing houses and furniture for the people of Billund in Denmark. Later, in 1932 he started making toys. The name LEGO was coined in 1934. It is fabled that only later did the LEGO group find out, to their pleasant surprise that LEGO loosely meant “I assemble” in Latin. An Apt name for interlocking plastic bricks with countless combinations. It was introduced to North America in 1962. Today approximately nineteen billion LEGO elements are produced every year.
