Lego land 2009 It was July 9th 2009 my 8th birthday, and at the time my life was consumed by my obsession with Lego sets, even though I was known to rage when I couldn’t figure out a difficult part.

Behind us we saw a sign that read "WELCOME TO LEGO LAND" we had some one take a picture of us, then we grabbed a map, and went to the first ride. "We're going to get something to eat than we're going to go to the water park" my dad said answering my…

dominant market share. Internally, Lego was weighed down by perceptions that their offering was old-fashioned and out-dated. A series of panic fuelled management errors had led to this state; 1998 saw the company outsourcing day-to-day management to an out-of-touch, self-professed turnaround guru with no toy experience and limited industry knowledge. With no clear vision or comprehension of the core proposition, a series of tragic strategic decisions were made. These included: • Galidor, a…

Since 1958, over 400 Billion Lego bricks have been produced. As I look back my childhood, I can recall so many splendid toys that I had.

Similarly, to the ideas touched on by two writings; Maria Edgeworth’s “Toys” and Roland Barthes’ “Toys,” the Legos were wonderful toys to utilize because of the way they were able to engage a child…

Every single time I clean my room a little Lego piece shows up somewhere: under my bed, in my drawers, in my closet, and probably several have been sucked up by a vacuum cleaner. Even for the past five years I have had a Lego Star Wars ARC-170 bomber laying on my dresser. Legos are a way for me to express my imagination: they enable me to build what I want when I want.
