Thanks for the Memories!

Thank you to everyone for all of the incredible memories we've made together on The LEGO Experience Tour! We visited over 40 cities and built with hundreds of thousands of you. From space ships to dragons, pumpkins to Santa Claus, skyscrapers to bugs, houses to boats, we've seen you build anything and everything out of LEGO toys. There are amazing builders out there! Every city, every step of the way, every conversation and every brick has left such memories in our hearts. Here are some of the highlights:

EAST Team
Kai - Helping a little boy who has never built with LEGO before build an awesome house. He was so proud of it because he didn’t know how to build before that day.

Parker - at our last tour stop, a child's mother came up to me and told me her daughter wanted to show her creation to me. After I saw it I told her "good job, give me a high five!" After she did, she was so excited that I liked her creation that she jumped up and down and then gave me a hug while her mother did the "awwww" emotion.

Kelly - Cute, polite, talkative kids! I loved building with the kids and improving my own building skills at the same time! I remember one boy in Charlotte who was playing at the DUPLO table and wanted to make a huge tower. So I helped him and taught him about interlocking/"cross the line." When he had to go, he told me to save it until he could come back and add some more, He said so proudly in his southern accent, "You and me, we made that!"

Jesse - Hearing stories of how LEGO has changed so much over the years from parents.

Candice - Seeing that the tour activities are so popular among kids that they never wanted to leave the event site.


WEST Team
Ryan - The creativity of each and every kid that visited The LEGO Experience Tour will continue to inspire me.

Kylie - The smiles, the hugs and the great conversations I've shared with all of you!

Jason - Fountain Hills Festival, San Francisco Zoo - how do I pick one memory? They were all magical moments!

Helen - Halloween was a top moment, dressing up and seeing what everyone else was wearing was great fun not to mention building Halloween scenes out of LEGO bricks.

Gavin - It's been an amazing ride; the Family Challenge Experience was my favorite. I loved seeing the creative ideas get put into a fun competition.

We've wrapped up this year's tour but keep your eyes and ears open because we are sure to pop up in your neighborhood again sometime soon. Of course, you can always check out www.LEGO.com for product and brand updates.

Thanks again!
Your friends on The LEGO Experience Tour 2009

There's a First Time for Everything


...even playing with LEGO bricks. How long have you been playing with LEGO bricks? Seems like an odd question with the popularity of these toys but it's a valid one. In our travels across the country we have come across several brand new users who never had the opportunity to play with LEGO bricks before. How did they enjoy the Experience?

Here are a few quotes, "I never knew plastic bricks could be so much fun!" "Wow I always thought LEGO bricks were boring. Boy was I wrong. I have been missing out." "You have a LEGO convert here!" "Where have LEGO bricks been all my life?" "I can't wait to purchase my first LEGO set! I am stoked!"

We love to meet existing LEGO users but we get really excited when we meet new LEGO users. Are you one? If so make sure to stop by the LEGO Experience when it stops in your town and let us know. We would love to meet you!

Will Sing for LEGO Bricks!


The Spotlight Kids, a group of young talented performers not only entertained carnival attendees, they stopped by to play with LEGO bricks at the LEGO Experience. We were glad to have them too because they provided entertainment for LEGO Experience guest for much of the day. Soaring vocals and bricks clicking were the sounds of the day!
