WHAT’S YOUR FONDEST LEGO MEMORY?
The first LEGO set you built. Your friend’s face when you gifted them their favorite set for Christmas. Stomping barefoot on a pile of bricks (ouch!). How LEGO got you out of bed during a depression. The memory of your child building something out of random bricks for the first time.
EVERYONE HAS THEIR LEGO STORY, WAITING TO BE TOLD
It all started with a few of us sharing our LEGO stories. We realized we all have different experiences, but one thing in common, a connection through LEGO. We created 100 LEGO stories because we know there are others out there like us.
OUR AIM IS TO SOURCE 100 LEGO STORIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
A story can simply be a picture of your favorite set. A LEGO memory with a loved one. A drawing. A handwritten letter. A podcast. A video. There is no right or wrong. A LEGO story can be anything and come from anywhere. Want to get involved? Submit your story and follow us on Instagram!

In 2016 I found a minifig head while I was gardening. I washed it off and kept it on my shelf. Why? I have no idea. I was not into Lego at all at the time, and I did not have Lego when I was a kid. Little did I know, a year later I … Continue reading #29 – The Lego Story of Lil’ Bricks! (aka myself), by Melissa Rekve, Vancouver
When I was young, I often tried to create a LEGO hoist. I’d attach a Lego motor to an axle and wind a string with it, trying to lift a heavy load.
