Lego has made a lot of kids happy. One of the most durable toys around, and stimulates your child's minds too. Happy Bday.

This is one of the few toys that has spanned generations and maintained popularity. We played with them as children and now play with them as adults alongside our children. An iconic toy.

Congratulations to Lego on 50 years! I remember waking my parents up on the weekends early. They'd get out a lego set for me to play with and go back to sleep.

Happy 50th Birthday Lego!
Thinking about my Lego set so many years ago puts a smile on my face. Now, after 50 years, we know Lego... well, "She's got legs."
