A. LEGO® is a construction toy that consists of various sizes and shapes of multicoloured, plastic interlocking bricks. The brick in its present form was launched in 1958 and those first bricks will still fit the bricks of today. Over 61,770 elements and colour combinations have been made over the years.
The building blocks are only limited by your imagination.
