LEGO bricks are 50 today. Did you know the name LEGO was formed from the Danish words "LEg GOdt", which roughly translates to "play well". In Latin, the word means "I put together" (the translator I found said to gather). Important LEGO features for play were identified as: unlimited play potential; for girls, for boys; fun for every age; year round play; healthy, quiet play; long hours of play; development, imagination, creativity; the more LEGO, the greater its value; extra sets available; quality in every detail (from Brick Fetish). See the Brick Fetish for timelines and pictures of the old sets, the LEGO timeline for more information on LEGO History, along with the Wikipedia Lego Group entry. And you can always check the LEGO site for New LEGO sets and the sale section to Save up to 50%!
