DorkySon has been playing with his boxes of Lego a lot this week. He has a real mixture of stuff – some very new Lego City sets that he has been given for birthdays and Christmases, but also a box that he calls his ‘make anything’ box. It’s a large collection of assorted bricks that has been passed down through my family – starting with my two older brothers before making its way to me and now, finally ending up with DorkySon.
You won’t get any better proof of Lego’s enduring popularity (and indeed how well it’s made!) than seeing a little boy in 2014 playing with bricks that were made in 1978!

I need to get a bigger box for our LEGO.I’ve always wondered what happened to the LEGO me and my brother had as a kid?
Oooh 1978 lego what a good vintage. It’s such a classic toy and I love the fact every child plays with it differently.
Younger Dad is desperate to buy Little A some lego (as am I)… as he’s getting fed up with dolls and role playing; he wants to construct stuff with her! X
Brilliant! A decent year! 🙂 We lived in Denmark for two years before here, and thanks to that our house is full of the stuff…. You know the name comes from the Danish Leg Godt (play well) don’t you? 🙂
Lego is the business!
All the best things were made in 1978 mind. Love Lego.
It is indeed the best toy, my kids all play with my brothers Lego form around the same time and it is perfect. Mich x
LEGO really is SUCH an amazing toy!
I love that it also has a family history, so he can pass it down to his children now too.
Wish I still had some of my 1962 Legos!
