Episode Notes
Welcome to a special LEGO 90th Anniversary episode of Extra Pieces! It's 10 August, and The LEGO Group celebrates an incredible milestone - a 90th birthday!
From humble beginnings making wooden toys, to the great leap forward to ABS plastic, and now, a cultural phenomenon that has redefined how fans young, old and everyone in between play.
In this episode we discuss LEGO's remarkable staying power, some memorable sets, and how it's changed through the years.
Counting down to the 90th anniversary, Richard has been recounting a decade by decade summary of the company's history:
