On a Christmas Wishlist of a friend (Let's call him Mr. X) created & shared using iWish (www.iwish.com.sg), there is a gift that he wishes for, amidst others, starring prominently at me..... Presenting.... <Drumroll>... Lego Starwars Set ( Palpatine's Arrest)
He is a grown-up friend mind you! That got me thinking...What is it about Lego that still manages to capture our attention and ignite affinity with it even though we've all grown up??
A trip back memory lane... Remembered when I was a young kiddo.. I had those "theme-less" good old Lego blocks which I could practically build anything based on pure imagination! Had loads of fun building the blocks up and tearing them down!
Nowadays, there are themed Lego blocks such as Star Wars, LOTR (fans will know what this acronym means) and Marvel Heroes! Even as I walk past Lego shops on the street, I still get drawn to it and will get up close and personal to "ogle" at the Lego sets available! So what is it about Lego toys?
Is it because it triggers creativity and imagination? Lots of article claim so.
Is it because of its sheer simplicity as a toy? Well, it's really really easy to play with!
Is it because it allows you to escape reality for a moment to play in your dream world? Mr. X will probably build the set thinking he is Palpatine!
For some, it's an obsession! Well, at iWish, we think a Lego toy is a good gift to list down on your Wishlist, even though you might not have played with it eons ago! Who knows? It might just spark a new multi-million dollar idea in your head! No harm giving it a shot!
For those who might not know, Lego is from the Danish phrase leg godt, which means "play well". We, at iWish, call the building blocks "Lovable Ever-Green Objects" (L.E.G.O)!
