I always thought Lego has been around longer than that. Lego doesn’t really have much to do with anything remotely otaku, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I do think that official Lego Gundam kits could be pretty cool. Now there’s an idea. After all, Mega Bloks had some success with their mediocre Gundam RX-78-2 and Zaku back in 2006.

That is pretty cool because you don’t see lego gundams every day. I too thought that Lego had to be older than that. Just one of those companies so entrenched in memories that we think it has been around forever.
