Lego Construction

I’ve put together a lot of Lego toys over the past year or two, and I have to congratulate Lego for a really good job of ensuring each box has all the necessary parts. I’ve probably assembled two dozen toys, and there’s never been a missing piece. There are usually extra pieces, but never anything missing.

When you see how many pieces there are in even the most basic of Lego toys, it’s really amazing how they can get it right every time. And I’ve put together some larger toys, with lots and lots of pieces, and still all the pieces have been present. It’s an impressive feat.

I’ve gotten to where I actually enjoy putting together Lego toys. There are no words in the Lego instruction books, only images, and assembling is pretty easy. You must have all the pieces spread out where you can see everything without having to finger through a pile. I’ve many times looked through the pieces and started thinking that something was missing, and then found the piece in plain sight a moment later.

So, I’m sending a big salute to Lego for doing such a great job of packaging their toys. I’ll send them an email with my appreciation explained.
