History

Lego is a family owned business. It started in 1932 and is still going today! Lego almost went
bankrupt in 1932 because of the great depression. But then out of nowhere the founder's wife died
right after. Years later the family got on its feet and started business again. The three sons of the
founder saved up money for a plastic molding machine and they made a new discovery. They
made the first ever Lego brick ,and things were great! The company started off with wooden toys
and now they had plastic! The company started making new sets like Lego star wars,mindstorms,
and bionicles.

dollars in debt and all because of the CEO who reduced the types
of bricks from 12,000 to 9000. He was fired shortly after in 2015.
However, the two things that brought Lego back were Mindstorms
and Bionicles. Mindstorms for once were buildable action figures,
