The Lego company was founded by Ole Kirk Christiansen back in 1932: the Danish cabinet maker initially produced wooden toys, but the colorful plastic clamping blocks were not introduced until 1949. What nobody could have guessed at the time: over the decades, the modular system has taken the company to the top of the world's largest toy manufacturers. Nowadays there is hardly a household where children live without Lego or Lego alternatives - but adults are also increasingly interested in the clamping blocks. This is not only due to the complexity of some sets, which take a lot of time and work, but is also due to the subject matter: Many modular systems are based on figures or scenes from well-known (cinema) films and series. We present a few of them.
