A message from the LEGO Company

owner, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen

In the early days of the LEGO system,my father sat down and wrote out The 10LEGO criteria for a good toy. That list waspretty amazing, and still holds value to thisday. In recent years, one item in particularhas taken on new meaning for me.

LEGO fun for every age

At the LEGO Company, we know that therehas always been some amount of adultsbuilding with the LEGO bricks. But withthe advent of the Internet, adult hobbyistsaround the world are connecting with eachother and with the hobby like neverbefore. Some adult hobbyists haventplayed with LEGO bricks since they werechildren, some never stopped. As Ivewatched the adult community grow, I amcontinually amazed at the skill andenthusiasm of the fans.

If this is your first exposure to the adultLEGO community, let me welcome you.Youre about to meet some talented andfriendly people who will amaze you everyday. I encourage you to find other adulthobbyists on the Web or in your localneighborhood. Build, create, share andmost importantly, have fun!

Play Well!

Adult LEGO fans are some of the most playful,inventive, and genuine people you will ever meet.Their outlook is practical, their craft is exquisite.

Whether friend, family, or curious observer, you can enjoy the magic

when AFOLs put their minds together. LEGO fan communities, localand global, balance similarity with diversity, welcoming new peopleand sharing ideas for constant synergy.

To understand the AFOL is to become the AFOL. Try it: Sit downsometime with a pile of bricks and do what comes naturally.

For the love of the LEGO brick in all of its variations, AFOLs create.

When youre ready to share your creations and learn about newtechniques and all sorts of other wonderful things, a whole worldawaits you!
