It’s quite the time to be somebody who loves both video games and Lego. In a sense, it perhaps shouldn’t be surprising that the worlds of digital gaming and Danish brick-building toys are colliding so thoroughly – the venn diagram of the audiences of each is frequently simply a circle. In fact, it’s sort of surprising that it took this long. Lego welcomed its first licensed brand sets in 1999 with the arrival of Star Wars – and by that logic, it took about a quarter century for video game-inspired builds to really take hold in the Lego space.
It’s great to see such enthusiasm for both Lego and video games! The variety available today really caters to all kinds of budgets, making it an exciting time for fans. It’s fascinating how these two worlds continue to merge and inspire creativity.
