Channel 4 At 40 & It’s LEGO Legacy
Today marks the 40th Anniversary of UK broadcaster Channel 4. Unlike the BBC, Channel 4 hasn’t had any of its programs or brands turned into LEGO® sets but its part in LEGO History is rather important. Channel 4 have a reputation for creating innovative programs and doing things differently from everyone else. In 2017, this was put to the test with a new TV series called LEGO Masters.

Most of them appear across the show’s 9 seasons and are also key to many of the iconic moments....

When LEGO Themes Go Large
As the popularity of LEGO® sets has grown, the audience who enjoys them has also widened. For many years all LEGO releases were expected to cater for LEGO builders of all ages.
