    With Lego trying to differentiate themselves from other manufacturers, they can certainly continue with the themed Lego’s they have been.

    When thinking of “The Lego Movie” it’s easy to dismiss it as another movie made to entertain the minds of 4 to 11 year olds. A movie created just for parents to get one solid hour of peace from their kids but it’s surprisingly the opposite. The movie surprises its viewers with cleverly written jokes, action packed scenes, and heartwarming characters.…

He fast-forwards to when his three-year old daughter became interested in Legos so he decides to buy her a Lego set which was quite complex and came with war painted mini figures, horses, a canoe, a rocky cliff, and much more. When he started playing with Legos in the late 1960s, it was abstraction driven but when he bought that Indian Lego set for his daughter in the late 90s, abstraction was…

    I agree with Brown when he says “kids are cheated of an opportunity” because Lego comes with instructions because Lego is mean to expand children’s imagination. Lego is a bunch of colourful blocks and when kids sit in front of it, they may put a few pieces together and then realize it looks like something, like a dragon, or a sword or a ship, and they may use their imagination to create objects from the Lego blocks. The kids are cheated of an opportunity to expand their minds. If Lego comes with instructions, there’s no fun or outside the box thinking going on. Kids would follow the instructions and build for example a ship, but if they built it wrong or found it hard to put together, they may feel stressed or feel like if they make anything but a ship, then what they are doing is wrong because it’s not in the instructions. I strongly agree with Brown, kids are cheated of an opportunity. When we our young, is mind is still growing, and there may be a lot more going on in a kids mind then someone might think, and unstructured play would help kids express their feelings through building and playing on their own. With instructions to Lego they will not have an opportunity to express themselves, even if kids don’t follow instructions, they will feel as if there needs to be a right way to play, and that can’t be healthy for kids. Kids need to use their imagination and be as stress free as possible. Lego without instructions is like the building blocks of a child’s mind, they can use the blocks to build up their feelings and thoughts and create their own world where there are no rules and anything is possible. In the end it can help them grow and figure themselves out by seeing how creative they can really be and how much happier they will be by living out their own imagination. With instructions, kids are being cheated of this…

    By the end of 2003 Lego was already facing crisis owing to dipping profits and declining market pool for toys. Lego had planned to expand into markets beyond building toys and needed huge investment to be made in it. But it found difficult to compete when fad players and other toy manufacturers were giving them stiff competition in a market that already was supposed to be giving lesser returns every year. This was mostly due to factors out of the control of Lego and other toy companies because, firstly, a research suggested that the demand of children who were primary customers of these companies were changing rapidly to fashionable and electronic products. They had lesser attention span and looked for instant gratification, and were lesser inclined to play with toys involving physical activity. Also Lego found it difficult to be competitive when its manufacturing base was in European markets while toy companies were moving to Far East and Middle East where labor was comparatively cheaper.…

    Childhood toys advance either social or gender constructs to propel the concept of gender identity. Lego is a perfect example of a gender-neutral toy. Lego consists of colorful interlocking plastic bricks and an accompanying array of gears, mini figures and various other parts. Lego began manufacturing interlocking toy bricks in 1949.

    It begins with a rhetorical question that attracts attention and brings to the fore the idea that LEGO is unique. This idea is established due to the choice of words in “Have you ever seen anything like it?” These words suggest that you have indeed not ever seen anything like it and makes you believe you never will. However this is the only question in the advertisement. The rest of the sentences in it are statements and declarations, which have been put in place to convince you that everything that is being said is factual and true. “It’s a look you’ll see whenever children build something all by themselves.” You will see this look. It is not a possibility but an inevitability. The fact that two sentences have been placed in bold call into attention that the product is for more than just one age group, thus placing more value on the product…
