Apparently, there are enough LEGO bricks in circulation to allow every single person on earth to own 62 each. Indeed, there must be few of us who don't have fond childhood memories of playing with this addictive and iconic Danish brand.

A love of LEGO doesn't have to stay rooted in your past though - these brilliant new products are ready for you to start building up a new collection.
