Product descriptionThe LEGO Group organization is famous for its flagship product: colorful plastic bricks that can be clicked together to form a variety of figures and then pulled apart again. These binding bricks originated in a wooden form when the company was first founded in Billund, Denmark, by Kirk Kristiansen in 1932 (The LEGO Group, 2012), and today's popular plastic version was introduced in 1958 (Rosenberg). The company headquarters are still located in Billund today and The LEGO Group remains privately owned by Kristiansen's family (The LEGO Group, 2012). They currently sell toys and educational materials in over 130 countries around the world.
