A Look At LEGO…. Elves
When LEGO® Friends was introduced in 2012, it split the LEGO community. Some loved its use of new and unique colours, whilst others lambasted the inclusion of mini-dolls in place of minifigures and its focus toward the female market.

LEGO At 60: Inside The LEGO Vault
Back in April last year we hopped on our very first overseas trip to the little Danish town of Billund, home of the LEGO® company since it was founded in the early 1930s.
