Do you know 29 August 2018 marks the celebration of 40 years anniversary of the LEGO Minifigure? Because today was the original date that the first Danish patent was handed in 1977. The first ever minifigures' release only come about in 1978 and the launch is the reason why we are celebrating this joyous occasion. This will be the first short feature of going back in time to look into the history of LEGO Minifigures. There will be more of these topics appearing over the weeks.
