Legos: From Toy to Video Game Super Stars

wikipedia.org

Legos are synonymous with childhood for children and parents. Legos meant hours of fun playing building tower, houses, or in my case, a stable for my My Little Pony toys. Legos bring joy and tears to that unsuspecting mom or dad who steps on one and experiences pain like no other toy can inflict.

We all have amazing memories of playing with legos and the thrill with building a Lego model. From building a moon lander to making the A Team, you could make anything with Lego.

It should be no surprise that the Lego games are a huge hit across all the platforms. Lego video games take your toy Legos and give them life.
