LEGO was founded all the way back in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, a Danish carpenter. LEGO, an abbreviation for the Danish phrase for 'Leg Godt' (play well), started with wooden toys but eventually released their iconic brick in 1958. Since their opening, this company has expanded globally and includes stores, amusement parks, discovery centers and more. Add in region and country-exclusive products and you'll have tons of fun collecting with LEGO!
