Are you a big fan of Lego’s? Have you ever wanted to go to a Lego convention? On August 26-27, 2023, there will be a Lego convention in Greenville; it is one of the biggest Lego conventions to date. Tickets are now on sale, kids who are 2 or younger will get in free, If you buy tickets online it will be $15, and at the door it will be $18. They are expected to sell fast so buy your tickets now. There will be a fan display area, you will be able to meet Lego masters, Lego displays and retired Lego sets, but why do we love Lego’s so much? Lego gives us a feeling of getting blocks and getting to create whatever we like. Lego was founded in 1952 in Denmark. Lego’s in the US weren’t introduced until 1962 that is when they were also first sold. When Lego sets were first sold they costed $5; now to buy a Lego set it costs around $100. One of their oldest Lego sets is called Lego space. One of Lego’s sets with the most pieces is the Titanic. Every second there are 7 Lego sets sold.
