Lego?
Lego (
/ˈlɛɡoʊ/ LEG-oh, Danish:
[ˈle̝ːko];
[1][2] stylised as
LEGO) is a line of plastic
construction toys that are manufactured by
The Lego Group, a privately held company based in
Billund,
Denmark. The company's flagship product, Lego, consists of variously coloured
interlocking plastic bricks accompanying an array of gears, figurines called
minifigures, and variou
s other parts. Lego pieces can be assembled and connected in many ways to construct objects, including vehicles, buildings, and working robots. Anything constructed can be taken apart again, and the pieces reused to make new things.[3][4]
The Lego Group began manufacturing the interlocking toy bricks in 1949. Movies, games, competitions, and six Legoland amusement parks have been developed under the brand. As of July 2015, 600 billion Lego parts had been produced.[5]
In February 2015, Lego replaced
Ferrari as
Brand Finance's "world's most powerful brand".
