The Excitement of Legos
Ever since the first Legos were manufactured in 1934 this building toy has been loved by generations of children.

For very young children large building blocks in bright colors are ideal for them to develop manipulation and building skills. Older children and even adults will enjoy the more complex sets based on themes with their enormous selection of demanding models to put together.
Among the most popular Legos is the Star Wars sets which have developed considerably since they were first introduced in the late 1990’s, with sets and figurines from the first Star Wars movies. Since that time all the newer Star Wars series of movies has been faithfully represented by Lego including figurines, scenes and vehicles. Star Wars figures are the usual block shape with square heads and bodies which are made with specially designed Star Wars molds. You can find all the characters from the Star Wars movies including, of course, the major characters in a selection of poses and clothes, including Princess Leia as a half-naked slave, Hans Solo and Darth Vader in a transformation set where he is transformed from Anakin Skywalker. Star Wars Legos continue to be the most popular sets produced.
A popular series of sets and figures represent the world of Harry Potter and you can build reproductions of Hogwarts Castle and Professor Dumbledore’s office as well as play Quidditch or try on the sorting hat. Mini figures include Harry Potter with his wand or dressed in his cape. Ron Weasley, Dumbledore, Hagrid and everyone of the famous characters from the movies.

These are more intricate to put together and may include steering and suspension systems.
