And what a ride it has been, gizmodo’s illustrated timeline barely covers some of the events that occurred.

Like many others, I was a fan. Pretty much from when I could walk. And were there a list of career choice influences, Lego would probably feature quite high on the list (higher than MacGyver at least).

I’ve been hankering for the ultimate Millennium Falcon, and if the attention the Mindstorms kit has received lately is an indication - the time to build Han Solo’s craft would have to be measured on a geological scale.

But here’s a virtual Guinness to the studded plastic brick.
