International Lego Day: Celebrating Almost 70 Years of LEGO Bricks
Today officially marks International Lego Day, celebrating the almost 70-year anniversary of when Lego first patented its LEGO bricks design in 1958. Lego has since become a global phenomenon, and some of the best Lego sets for adults tie in with popular culture trends, and have evolved far beyond the category of toys, now acting as profound works of art and even home decor.
A Lack of Hype?
We’re big fans of Lego at Creative Bloq, although I am surprised that there’s not more hype around International Lego Day, and from an e-commerce perspective, I haven’t been able to find so much as a single promotional offer or sale to celebrate the occasion. What’s up with that?
Discounts and Deals
All is not lost, however, as Mattel’s own Lego alternative brand, Mega Bloks, has some generous discounts over at Amazon right now, and I’ve rounded up some of the best sets for you below, including several that I own like the Pokémon Snorlax set.
