LEGO Celebrates 89th Birthday

Today, LEGO celebrates its 89th birthday. On this day way back in 1932, Ole Kirk Christiansen began making his iconic wooden toys. It wasn’t until 1958 when the first brick was patented by his son and the rest is history. If you haven’t seen The LEGO Story below, it’s a great animated video showing LEGO’s history.

I don’t think there’s anything special planned for today but we can surely expect something big for next year when LEGO celebrates nine decades of play. One thing is the 90th anniversary fan vote in which LEGO will be choosing a classic theme to make a set for.

LEGO VIDIYO Amazon Sales – August 2021

The LEGO VIDIYO sales have slowly been hitting products over on Amazon. We’ve already seen that some of the BeatBox sets have been reduced down to $5 at various Walmart locations but that’s only if the stores marked them as clearance. Usually, they get snatched up pretty quickly.

Amazon has a majority of the first wave of BeatBox on sale for 20%. Some of them aren’t listed as a sale item but remember they retail for $19.99 each.
