The Lego company was founded by Ole Kirk Christiansen back in 1932: the Danish cabinet maker initially produced wooden toys, but the colorful plastic clamping blocks were not introduced until 1949. What nobody could have guessed at the time: over the decades, the modular system has taken the company to the top of the world’s largest toy manufacturers. Nowadays there is hardly a household where children live without Lego or Lego alternatives – but adults are also increasingly interested in the clamping blocks. This is not only due to the complexity of some sets, which take a lot of time and work, but is also due to the subject matter: Many modular systems are based on figures or scenes from well-known (cinema) films and series. We present a few of them.

Construction sites also exert a great fascination on small children. A toy excavator, crane with wrecking ball and cement mixer can all come to life in this Lego set (4 years and up). Mini construction workers and various accessories that should not be missing on any construction site will contribute to this.
