The LEGO System, launched in 1955, is the fundamental concept that defines the very essence of LEGO bricks. This ingenious system guarantees universal compatibility between all LEGO bricks, regardless of their date of manufacture. Introduced with the "Town Plan" range, the LEGO System embodies the vision of Godtfred Kirk Christiansen for a modular and evolving construction toy.
This revolutionary approach allows for limitless creativity, where each brick can be assembled with any other, offering infinite building possibilities. The LEGO System encompasses a wide variety of themes, from realistic urban environments to fantastic universes, while maintaining perfect consistency. With 158 references recorded since 1971, this iconic range continues to evolve, perpetuating the legacy of innovation and imagination that has made LEGO a global success.
