Lego Factory

Posted on June 13, 2006 Under Design

I have always had a fascination with Legos, but never liked being creatively limited to the pre-designed and packaged kits. If you share my sentiment then fret no more because thanks to the Lego Factory, you can now design your own models and have the pieces shipped to you in a Lego-style box. The service, while a brilliant idea, got off to a rocky start due to the fact that you could only pick from parts that came in pre-packaged bags, which proved to be very inefficient if you needed parts that happened to be in different bag sets. To remedy the problem, Lego created Version 1.6 of their Lego Digital Designer software, which allows you to build a model and buy only the parts you need. Once you build your own custom creation, you can share it with other designers from around the world on Lego’s website.
