Bricks

LEGO In The News - The Wall Street Journal - The Economics of LEGO

This one was posted today and I figured I’d throw it out there as the rest of the fan media doesn’t seem to push these out. As a LEGO fan, I didn’t learn anything new from watching this that I didn’t already know, but it’s a good plug for people who aren’t already addicted to the brick.

It’s also fun to see some of the old commercials and ads. I wasn’t aware of the original Star Wars cartoon they mentioned. It’s just under six minutes long so check it out.

Happy building!

Here's our fantastic short documentary showing you exactly how our iconic LEGO bricks are made. Be prepared for all your questions to be be answered!

I had seen the first version of this one by BrickBrosProductions.  You can see it here.  The creators used LEGO bricks in real life to do different things like cook eggs on a frying pan.  The second version below is similar to the first one.  Enjoy!

In our newest brickfilm, Lego In Real Life 2, a boy craves to eat an egg for breakfast. It turns out that the egg may have some interesting qualities...
