It was 70 years ago that LEGO introduced the System in Play and its been at the heart of how we build today. LEGO has released a feature showing the different types of houses throughout the years using the LEGO System in Play from the first one being the Town Plan to one of the more recent ones with teh Modern House.

Houses built to last: 70 years of the LEGO® System in Play

70 years ago, the LEGO Group introduced the System in Play – a simple but revolutionary idea that means every LEGO® element, made generations apart, would fit together.

At its heart, the System in Play ensures that every element, from tiny hairbrushes to lightsabres, can connect. It’s why a LEGO astronaut can visit the LEGO Boutique Hotel, or a DUPLO giraffe can join a LEGO City adventure.

This versatility has made the LEGO System in Play the foundation for endless creativity. The same handful of bricks can be used to build anything from spaceships to castles to trains – limited only by imagination. And perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the houses that children around the world, and our LEGO designers, have been inspired to build from the System in Play over the last 70 years.

Houses have been a mainstay of LEGO sets since the LEGO System in Play was launched in October 1955. They have appeared in every conceivable shape and style, mirroring changes in society and the lives of the children who build and play with them.

LEGO and TIME magazine has partnered up to release first-ever Girls of the Year edition that is part of the She Built That campaign. The list recognizes 10 young leaders who inspires communities around the world.

Earlier today, The LEGO Group announced that they are celebrating three years of zero waste to landfills. In an effort to minimizing their impact to the environment, the goal called Zero Impact in Operations is to reduce carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation. Last year, 96% of the waste generated in production was reused, recycled, or recovered without incineration or going to the landfill.

Celebrating 3 years of zero waste to landfill

BILLUND, DENMARK, 24 June 2025: At the LEGO Group, we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment. That means continuing to reduce the impact of LEGO® production and our use of resources. We set targets for our carbon emissions, energy use, water usage and waste generation, as part of our goal called ‘Zero Impact in Operations.’ This aims to decouple our impact from business growth.

One of our areas of focus is reducing and managing the waste created in our factories. We are constantly looking for ways to avoid waste and to ensure disposal methods are as sustainable as possible.

Focus on waste prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling

We aim to reduce the waste that goes to incineration or landfill across all our factories. In 2024, 96% of the waste generated during production of LEGO bricks was reused, recycled or recovered. For the last three years, and despite a minor increase, we have remained within a ‘zero waste to landfill’ threshold, which is commonly interpreted as less than 1% of waste generated going to landfill. We have also successfully

Yesterday, The Brick Fan celebrated 13 years of being online as a LEGO news/review site. I still remember the day that the URL became live in the afternoon and was just hoping for anybody to read my posts. Thank you to everyone who has visited the site even once for whatever topic you were searching for. I know some of you are still here after all these years.

Things have grown and regressed throughout the years and I couldn’t be more happy that this is my job. I can pretty much work at my own time without being pressured to push out articles. You may have noticed this when sometimes I skip a day of posting or just one post a day because there’s not that much news going on. There will be changes soon to how rumors are posted so we’ll just leave it at that for now.

I’ll continue to do what I’ve been doing throughout these years and it seems that time is flying by faster than ever so cherish your friends and family. Remember this is a hobby for a majority of us and don’t take things too seriously.
