Rebuild The World A Nod To LEGO Heritage

By now you will have most likely given the LEGO® Rebuild The World video a watch. If you have you may have also noticed a few familiar looking things throughout the fun new advertisement. The video is filled with plenty of nods to the long history of the LEGO brands. But have you spotted them all? Here’s a round-up of all the ones I’ve found, if you have seen anymore let us know in the comment.

 

The video opens with a hunter giving chase to a little white rabbit, the first obvious Easter Egg here is the oversized bow and arrow, based on the slightly smaller version found in many LEGO sets from Castle to NINJAGO. Plus there’s a older style Land Rover in the background.

Next up as the hunter chases the rabbit into the city he passes by a lady wearing a blue top, which has the Classic Space logo on it. Her hairstyle also changes in an instant, just like you can do with Minifigures. There is also a scooter, which looks very much like the LEGO one.
