Make a LEGO of Yourself!

by Nikita P.

With a deep love for LEGO sets, minifigures, and intricate parts, I have always dreamt of buying new sets. Do you know that no day goes by without me searching around for LEGO news? I always want to be abreast of what is going on in that creative and timeless universe. I have joined numerous LEGO communities, both offline and online. There is hardly a popular group that I haven't already joined on Facebook, Discord, and even Telegram. I follow a lot of brands that capture the essence of LEGO sets in their pictures on Instagram and Pinterest.

The Timeless Love for LEGO


Who would blame me for investing a lot of time in these bricks? I grew up coupling them together. They were my companions, friends that I could have fun with. I put them together, took items apart, and reassembled them once again. The fun of integrating new LEGO accessories was always satisfying and engaging. I still have some of the sets that I enjoyed as a kid. 


I know that there are a lot of connoisseurs of the bricks like me. There is hardly any new release of LEGOs that I do not hear about. As a collector, I always want to know what is happening. There is a great chance to see me at conventions, yard sales, and parties centered around my favorite LEGO theme. If you take a walk into my garage, you would think that you have passed through a secret door to LEGO-land Park.

 



I ensure that my sets and Minifigures are well taken care of. You can't see a speck of dust on it. This is how much I love them. I also use customized lighting bricks to decorate them too.

I am so in love with these bricks that I know a lot about the history of this company. I found out that the first modular toy was a truck. The truck was created long ago, and it is said to be among the first modular toys. You could assemble the pieces together and take them apart. Then, you could assemble them again and again. That was really fun and satisfying!

First Bricks: The History of LEGO Group 

Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the first leader of the LEGO group, decided to do some research on other companies of that time. One of them was Kiddicraft. They bought some plastic bricks that had been made by their competitors and divided them to analyze everything. 

Hilary Fisher Page was the designer of the building blocks for Kiddicraft. He had sought for it to be patented by him. The plastic block was one that had four studs on it to ensure that another one could be placed on top of it effortlessly. 

LEGO decided to start creating bricks that were similar to the designs of its competitors. When they did, they christened the bricks "Automatic Binding Bricks." Those bricks were created using cellulose acetate. They were fashioned to look like the standard wooden blocks, which were quickly placed on top of each other. They were made to fit effortlessly, though they were not held onto one another in a tight manner. The company decided to call these bricks 'LEGO Bricks' in 1953.

Initially, the bricks were made of wood and not plastic, as we see it today. When plastic products were being sold by the LEGO Group, a lot of clients didn't fancy them. They preferred metallic or wooden toys because they felt that they lasted longer. Do you know that most of the shipments failed because they didn't sell? 

It was after introducing a new system of toys, or series as we call it today, that plastic toys were embraced. Apart from that, the fire that destroyed the LEGO wooden division has forced Godtfred to close that division. This led to a rift between Godtfred himself and his siblings. They decided to resign and leave the company to create a rival one. 

Well, enough of the history and back to the topic at hand. Do you know that you can make a LEGO of yourself? Yes, you read that right. I currently have LEGO Minifigures of myself and my family members. These personalized LEGO bricks look just perfect!

It's crucial to ensure that they are made from sturdy and high-quality materials. When you buy from the right stores, they can stand the test of time.
