Up through the 1950s and 1960s the company attempts several times to create large bricks, increasingly realizing that large bricks are the gateway to the LEGO System of Play for small children. The aim is to make sure preschool children get the same chance to learn through play as older children.

LEGO Plastic Building bricks A year after launching the forerunner of the LEGO® brick – Automatic Binding Bricks – the LEGO Group in 1950 launches LEGO Plastic Building bricks. These bricks are bigger than the Automatic Binding Bricks and are intended for children aged 1-5. They are marketed as “the perfect bricks for day care centers”. To further illustrate the target group, there is a picture of a toddler playing with the bricks on the packaging. It isn’t just a random selected child; it is LEGO founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s grandson and current owner of the LEGO Group, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen. During his childhood Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen modeled on several LEGO boxes from the 1950s and1960s, but the picture on the early set of LEGO Plastic Building bricks is the very first time he appears on the packaging of a LEGO product. The larger Plastic Building bricks are produced from 1950-55. All LEGO Plastic Building bricks are square The Jumbo brick was considerable larger than the LEGO brick
With experience gained from the launch of Plastic Building bricks the LEGO Group continues its experiments with preschool products. During a visit to the company in the early 1960s, a group of teachers spot a couple of large experimental bricks and express their enthusiasm. This sparks off another go at creating a large brick. One particular brick attracts the attention of the LEGO Group partner on the North American market, the American luggage manufacturer Samsonite. The LEGO Group signs a sales and manufacturing licensing agreement with Samsonite in 1961 covering the Canadian and American markets. The company is very keen on a large eight stud brick measuring 4” x 2” x 1”. Samsonite places its first order for the large bricks, which will be known as Jumbo bricks, in early 1964 and at the same time expresses a wish to buy molds to be able to set up production of the Jumbo bricks itself. The Jumbo bricks are marketed in Canada until 1970 and in the US until 1971. The following year the licensing agreement with Samsonite is discontinued, and the LEGO Group takes over the production and marketing of LEGO products on the North American market.
Jumbo bricks as they were marketed in North America Jumbo bricks as they were marketed in North AmericaA father in Taipei, Taiwan, was walking home from work late at night when he looked up and saw his son's face on a massive screen, asking his father to spend time with him.Lego teamed up with 6-year-old Hsiao Feng for "A Gift for Imagination" to create an ad that would get his father's attention. The toy company said that working adults in Taipei "are some of the busiest in the world." Although the Labour Standards Act in Taiwan capped off working hours at 40 per week, many employees still work up to 12 hours a day.Feng's father was no exception. He often didn't have time to "pay attention to his son's imagination" because of his job.Feng wanted to share his vivid imagination with his dad, so Lego helped him film an ad that was showcased all over the internet, TV, billboards and the 100-metre screen at Taipei Arena.In the video, the six-year-old explains that his father repairs and sells cars, and he showed off an "unbreakable" car that he created with toy bricks."
I will give this car to my dad. He will never have to repair it, and wouldn't be so tired anymore," he said.When Feng's father saw the ad as he walked home from work, he became emotional and thanked his son for "wanting to leave the best" for him."I promise to spend more time with you, and fill your childhood with the best memories," said the father.See all Target Benefits 1683 employees reported this benefit Reviews 10% off purchases is offered to employees of Target.

Also, since you are new, come here to ask your questions about the site.Yard sales and thrift stores can be very hit-and-miss. When you find them you can get great bargains, but most of the time it’s not fruitful unless you have other reasons to shop there. When I built my Pokemon sculptures, I was able to do that using a bulk brick tub that lego was selling at the time (set #3033). I bought about 20 of those at $20 each and still ran out of certain parts – that’s why Squirtle’s tail was so small.
Sadly, that tub was discontinued a few years ago and the bulk tubs that are available more recently haven’t had nearly as good of an assortment or as good of a price per brick. Probably the easiest way to get cheap parts is to shop on BrickLink. It’s an online shopping mall just for LEGO. Sellers buy sets in bulk (generally when they have clearance sales at retail stores) and sort the parts, putting the individual pieces on their stores. Then you can go in and order any part in quantity. It’s an awkward site to use, but I think the best way is to start at the Catalog tab, find the part you want in the color you want, and then find a store that has them in sufficient quantity. (Disclaimer: I have my own BrickLink store.) There’s also bulk brick available from LEGO; usually they’re a lot more expensive that way but once in a while you can find some real bargains. Look for the “Pick-A-Brick” in the LEGO Shop-At-Home Store and if you have a LEGO store in your nearby mall, they have an in-person pick-a-brick wall where you can fill up a plastic cup with LEGO parts for a set price.
