Saturday 4 May 2024

Then, in a galaxy not too far, far away, the Danish privately held company joined forces with George Lucas and the Star Wars franchise to produce licensed Star Wars Lego sets in one of the world’s most successful strategic partnerships in corporate history.
Twenty-five years later, Lego is the world’s top toy brand by brand value (see table below). Read more about this story from the official Lego website here.
