Lego Celebrates Its 90th Anniversary At San Diego Comic-Con
Newsy
The Lego Group started in 1932 with wooden toys and eventually introduced plastic bricks, which still reign over the rest of the toy industry.
This year's San Diego Comic-Con features a 14-foot-tall Bowser from the video game franchise "Super Mario Bros." He's made up of over 700,000 Lego bricks — a symbol of the big celebration happening for Lego's 90th anniversary.
"A lot of people have these long histories with playing with bricks as a kid and then growing up, so I think we just wanted to pay homage to that," said Cassidy Najarian, The Lego Group spokesperson.
The Lego Group started on Aug. 10, 1932, in Denmark with wooden toys. Then eventually the colorful, plastic, interlocking bricks inspired by an existing line of toys from Kiddicraft were introduced.
