The believe documentary over A LEGO brickumentary gives people across the world the opportunity to express themselves using their imagination with the LEGO brick. As the film progressed, I could see many different types of designs. I had absolutely no idea that designers across the world made this their life. They use their imagination and make it out of LEGO bricks, instead of using the directions on the back of the box. They took it and made it their own. What these people came up with and created was extraordinary. I also had no idea LEGOs were such a deal to all sorts of ages and genders. I thought LEGOs were only for children that are only boys, but they vary from young boys and girls up to men and women. Even adults create different structures

Just like that, years of building had vanished. I was kicking and screaming until he said to me, “You have to learn how to change.” He was right, and I did. Over the next few months I built things even more grandiose than I could have imagined, out of the rubble of old ruins. That day, I learned about the bumpy rollercoaster that is change. I learned that if I want to improve, whether it’s my Lego building skills or my current education, change is a

Nonetheless, LEGO has weaknesses as well. Digital Design Program offering customized product offering with delivery can be assumed to be incurring extra costs since LEGO cannot leverage its economies of scale. LEGO’s loss of patent protection is also the weaknesses that other competitors exploit. As competitors introduce plastic brick products that are compatible with the LEGO brick designs, the consumers are misled into buying the products thinking that they are LEGO. As competition and licensing control intensify to threaten LEGO, the organization should avoid expensive/additional marketing and legal campaigns in the building blocks segment, and divert such resources to
