Boston is about to become LEGO-land as LEGO just announced plans to move their head office from Enfield, Connecticut to Boston.

Skip Kodak, President of the LEGO Group in the Americas, released a statement saying (in part) "Boston is ranked one of the best cities in the world to attract and retain talent. This, along with its world-class academic institutions, skilled workforce and great quality of life makes it an ideal location for our US head office. We have exciting plans for the next phase of growth and hope we can retain many of our current team, as well as attract new colleagues.”

The move is expected to take place by the end of 2026 then make sure to always wear some sort of footwear while strolling around Boston. Stepping on a random rogue LEGO sucks.

Speaking of toys, care to see the one that represents YOUR childhood?

Here’s the Toy That Represents Your Childhood in Massachusetts

My childhood can be defined by the toys I played with and the shows I watched as a kid. For me that's Nintendo (O.G.), He Man figures, and LJN wrestling figures (DON'T call them "dolls" in my presence!). If you're toy-savvy you can probably tell that I'm 30 years-old. (I wish.) I'm going to give you the toy that represents your childhood based strictly and entirely on the year you were born. I'm going to go in 5 year increments (10 year increments at first) and I'll give you two toys. If you feel like one of them does represent your childhood, please share this article on your social medias. If I'm soooooo far off, feel free to share this article on social media flaming me for being horrible at this. It's ok. I have thick skin. I think I'm part tree.
