Lego builds yet another record profit to become world's top toymaker
It is a brand name familiar to children around the world, but a decade ago Lego was in crisis. Sales were collapsing at a rate of 26% a year, it lost 1.4bn Danish kroner (£150m) in 2003 and private equity firms were circling the 82-year-old family-owned Danish company.
Now, after a series of job cuts and the ending of the family's management of the company, the plastic brick business has rebuilt itself into the world's most profitable toy maker ahead of Barbie's Mattel.

The Simpsons House in LEGO is Now Official
LEGO company officials, perhaps forced to adjust their PR schedule by a leaked photograph, have announced the debut of The Simpsons LEGO construction set. The playset will be available in LEGO stores and online in February, and will cost $199.99 in the US, $229.99 in Canada, and various prices in Europe.

Full-size LEGO Car
Australian entrepreneur Steve Sammartino and Romanian teenager Raul Oaida teamed up to produce a full-size car made of LEGO bricks -and drive it down the street! The engines run on compressed air, which makes it silent (but deadly if it doesn't hold together).

These Are Some of the Most Amazing Lego Projects Ever Built
In his new book, Beautiful LEGO, Mike Doyle has curated more than 200 pages of the world’s best Lego art. From museum-ready sculptures to indulgent geek references, the book highlights the impressive evolution of the legendary toy.
“Every year this stuff gets more and more intricate and the technique gets better, so I thought it would be great to celebrate the merits of the medium,” says Doyle, who is also a Lego artist and includes some of his own work in the book.

Police constable 1337 stunned by Lego lookalike
It's not every day that the Venn diagram covering law enforcement, tiny figurines and internet jargon crosses over, but today is such a day.
Reports have it that a police constable whose official number is 1337 has been gobsmacked to find that Lego have brought out a tiny plastic plod who not only has the same number - he is also as near to being a dead ringer for the real copper as any miniature figurine can realistically be expected to be.

Lego has had a line of watches for a few years now, but the designs were decidedly targeted at kids. And since the building toy probably has as many adult fans as children who love it, Lego will be releasing a new line of watches this November with designs geared more towards its grown-up fans.

Diese smarten Legosteine kommunizieren miteinander
Längst vorbei sind die Zeiten, in denen Lego-Steine nur starr herumstanden: Zwei arbeitslose Raketenwissenschaftler entwickeln schlaue, per Funk steuerbare Elektroklötzchen. Diese und weitere Ideen stellt neuerdings.com in seiner wöchentlichen Gadget-Schau vor.
Daniel McShan war an der Planung robotischer Missionen zum Mars ebenso beteiligt wie an bemannten Raumfahrtprojekten. Kürzungen aber haben ihn arbeitslos gemacht. Nun bastelt er mit einem Ex-Kollegen an etwas Neuem: Die beiden entwickeln smarte Lego-Steine. Aktuell suchen sie auf Kickstarter nach Unterstützern.
