Hot Brands Verdict
We have an absolute fascination with Brands here at Hot Brands and one of the most iconic brands is LEGO®, generations of children (and adults) have played for hours with this simple but very clever little brick. These two books go behind the scenes and find out about the history, how the brand has evolved, the parks, the special editions, and the fact that the official company website LEGO.com is one of the most visited internet sites of any toy manufacturer in the world. At the last count LEGO.com had 2.5 million registered users, 1 million of whom had created their own My LEGO Network homepage. A wonderful celebration and a perfect gift for all lovers of LEGO!
