LEGO Masters: Harmonizing Sound Into Brick-Built Models
Tonight on LEGO Masters, the builders must harmonize abstract concepts like sound into brick-built models. Tune in to see who will win!
LEGO’s 4+ range is designed to slowly tease kids away from really simplistic stuff like Duplo and get them used to the idea of building more intricate ‘proper’ Lego sets by themselves.
LEGO is a line of plastic building blocks manufactured by the Danish company LEGO.
Bricks, beams, axles, and minifigures are made of a strong, resilient plastic called acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abbreviated ABS). To create the LEGO building blocks, robots operate high-tech injection molding machines and human inspectors check the output. The manufacturing process is so precise that only 18 out of every million LEGO blocks fail to meet quality standards.
Founder Ole Kirk Christiansen purchased a woodshop in 1932 and started producing wooden toys. In 1947, the company began using plastic as an alternative to wood. Initially, plastic products were not well received by customers who preferred to buy wooden toys. Many of the company’s shipments were returned.
In 1954, Christiansen’s son Godtfred became the junior managing director of the company. He had a conversation with an overseas buyer that inspired the idea of a toy “system” consisting of many interrelated products. This led to the release of the first LEGO Town Plan in 1955. The set featured street signs and cars that could be constructed using the Lego bricks.
LEGO sets are based on popular movies and television shows.
Whether you’re looking for a gift or just want to add something to your own home, there are some LEGO sets that will be sure to please. From popular movies and television shows to iconic buildings and landmarks, there are plenty of options for you to choose from.
This set is a delightful homage to The Big Bang Theory and features Sheldon and Leonard’s living room. It’s available at a reasonable price and is perfect for fans of the show.
While the price tag on this set might make you wince, it’s an amazing addition to any Lego collection. It includes a variety of Star Wars characters, including Han Solo and Chewbacca. It also has a swappable radar dish so that you can represent either time period.
This set is a wonderful choice for fans of the Marvel franchise. It features all six of the Infinity Stones, and it can be displayed in a museum-like setting.
LEGO bricks are made of plastic.
Lego bricks are made of a special type of plastic called acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abbreviated ABS). This is an oil-based plastic that can be molded into many shapes and sizes. It is also very strong, durable, and resists wear and tear. To make Lego bricks look and feel like they’re real, chemicals are added to the ABS plastic to give them colors and other features.
Lego has been working to make its products more sustainable. It started making some parts, such as trees and branches, out of a new plastic that is derived from sugar cane in 2021. It has also been testing a recycled prototype brick made from PET plastic that comes from discarded bottles.
To make a Lego brick, tiny granules of ABS are brought in by the truckload to factories around the world. They are poured into giant metal silos and then fed into molding machines where they’re heated to 230 degrees Celsius, which melts the plastic granules. The molds are then filled with color using Macrolex dyes.
LEGO minifigures are made of plastic.
LEGO blocks are an excellent tool to encourage children’s imagination. They can use the bricks to create a city skyline or a secret cave. However, the most fun comes from adding the minifigures to their creations. These tiny characters allow kids to become their favorite superheroes or villains and let their imagination run wild!
Basic LEGO minifigures have three separate essential pieces: a head, torso and arms/hands. They are about the height of four normal stacked bricks. They can also have a variety of different accessories, such as hats and helmets.
In the past, LEGO has made other types of figures that are larger and do not have movable legs or arms. These large figures were known as 4+ Figures and had carved faces. These figures are sometimes used in board games such as LEGO Monopoly.
These figures are also used in themes such as Orient Expedition and Alpha Team. They are also often used in sets that feature animals and other creatures.
