Where to watch your favourite LEGO characters online
When the first plastic LEGO bricks rolled off the production line in 1947 (after an enterprising Dane had hit on the idea of making toys to rescue his failing furniture business), they could hardly have envisioned the mega-hit LEGO would become. In 2015, it pushed out Ferrari as the world’s most valuable brand, and some covetable LEGO sets have proved to be a better investment than gold!
Keep up with your favourite characters and themes with these series and one seriously brilliant LEGO movie, all ready to stream on Showmax.
