    In LEGO’s early days, LEGO was meant to be a toy that inspired children’s creativity. You poured a bucket of bricks onto the carpet and began building what your heart desired. The question I’ve come to ask myself is, has LEGO lost its creative nature? As I saw The LEGO Movie, I began to find it ironic how LEGO contradicted its current modern standing. Contrary to its early days, LEGO sells all if not most of its products as sets.…
