LEGO-lovers! Check out these fascinating LEGO facts, below…
1. LEGO’s founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen, created the name “LEGO” from taking the first two letters of the Danish words
LEG GODT, meaning “play well“.
2. If you put the 340 million Minifigures produced last year next to each other in a line, it would stretch a whopping
7,900 km – that’s almost the distance from London, UK to Beijing, China!
3. The famous LEGO brick that we play with today is more than 50 years old. The bricks made way back in 1958 will still
fit perfectly with those you play with today!
4. The moulds used to produce LEGO bricks are accurate to within two-thousandth of a millimetre (0.002 mm!). Because of
this high degree of accuracy, there are only around 18 bricks in every million produced that fail to meet the company’s
high quality standard.
5. The world’s tallest LEGO tower is 28.7m high, made from with 465,000 bricks!
6. LEGO Minifigures are the world’s largest population, with over 4 billion of them around the world!
7. During the Christmas season almost 28 LEGO sets are sold each second. Yikes!
Wow! Pretty amazing, huh?
