Lego bricks are so extremely versatile that just six eight-stud bricks can be arranged in 915,103,765 different ways! The bricks are mainly manufactured in the Lego Group’s headquarters in Denmark in such a meticulous manner than out of every 1 million pieces made, just 18 are removed and thrown away for being defective in size or colour. The Lego Group manufactures a startling 28,500 pieces of Lego every minute, shocking! On top of creating such a large number of pieces every minute, the Lego Group also manufactures 306 million small rubber tires a year, a number that in fact makes the Lego Group the world’s leading tire manufacturer. Lego Duplo was created for younger children in the 1960’s, a much more simplistic design indeed to the Lego ninjago set. The Duplo bricks are sizably larger than the classic bricks in both height and width, making them easier than the original bricks to handle. The Lego figure was invented in 1974, an invention which changed the face of Lego as it enabled children to insert personalities into their Lego creations. 4 billion Lego figures have been manufactured to date, as have countless disguises and costumes.
