Question: whats so good about legos

Alex Reid answered on 7 Nov 2018:

Lego is an amazing product and I am a bit obsessed with it. So much so I am going to make a quick list to answer your question. 1. They are a really cool company that genuinely care about creativity, play and learning, 2. Lego is a really high quality product. It is expensive because they take great care in making the bricks because each brick has to fit just right with every Lego brick that has been made and ever will be made. They are so well engineered our brain scanner here in York was once calibrated using one! 3. They have loads of licences so you can mix and match things from your favourite films and TV shows (such as Luke Skywalker riding a velociraptor), 4. Lego spent a lot of money making their products environmentally friendly, including a new type of eco-plastic they are bringing out soon, 5. It cheers me up, some of the Lego sets are really endearing, 6. I build things (yes even now as an adult) and it keeps me relaxed and creative. Check out this Lego sleep lab I built!

I could go on but I will stop there. I am worried the people who manage and organise this site will think I am secretly sponsored by Lego and am trying to promote to it you guys or something 😉
