The LEGO World
Did you know there are enough LEGO bricks in the world for every person on Earth to have about 80 of them? These tiny plastic bricks have been around since 1958, and they are made with such perfect precision that only 18 out of every million bricks fail to meet quality standards. There are even more LEGO Minifigures than people! While there are about 8 billion humans on Earth, there are over 10 billion tiny plastic Minifigures. If you lined up all the LEGO bricks sold in a year, they would stretch five times around the whole world. Learn more!
