The Chaotic Evolution of LEGO Bricks...

I'll be going live on Whatnot on Wednesday November 30th at 5:00 pm EST. Looking forward to seeing you there! #whatnotpartner

In this video we explore the history of the LEGO Brick and it's design evolution throughout the years. LEGO wasn't the first company to make building brick toys. If fact, they were inspired by a company called Kiddicraft. Do you have any of these old building bricks? Watch the entire video to see the every LEGO-type brick ever produced - Enjoy!

The red brick really is a masterpiece. How it went from a random brick, to an among us brick.

Aah MegaBlocks. The n° 1 choice for the uncles/aunts that knows the nephew is a Lego fan but don't want to spend Lego money.

There was also Tente, a plastic toy line from Spain around the 70s iirc. It has the same dimension as Lego bricks except the studs are wider, therefore incompatible with Lego. Each studs of Tente blocks has a tiny hole so you can fit a peg in it.

I actually have ELGO bricks. They come in a can identical to an oatmeal can

Why does the Lego community hate knock off if Lego was not the first

nice video. this is actually different to a documentary i watched a while ago, which portrayed Lego as the first of its kind, and Mega Bloks and others were taking advantage of their patent expiring.

Japan has 'diablock' which was launched in 1962. Today it features rounded corners for more safety.
I used to have them when I was little, but Lego completely took over when I moved to London.

While it could have been from a partnership, K'nex also has bricks which fit perfectly with Lego.

Very good video. Building sets of course go all the way back to basic wooden blocks for children pre 1900. Some block companies began to print elaborate designs on their bricks to build Tudor houses and even cathedrals. There was even one company that made clay bricks with a mortar for a more realistic experience. The mortar could be dissolved in water to be reused.
The non-brick building sets are fascinating as well, especially the ones using dangerous looking metal prongs.

I have seen multiple videos on "the original of the lego brick". But this was the first to mention there were others before Kiddiecraft.

I remember when LEGO had to deal with competition from Super Blocks, which was a LEGO clone manufactured by Tyco Toys from 1984 until sometime in the 1990s. Tyco Toys would be purchased by Mattel in 1997.

The name of “ELGO” is an mixed up name of Lego.

I think we all wanna say it, but legos are just very inspirational lol that’s why they use them in movies
