Lego creativity is not limited to building bricks and stop motion movies, it extends even to advertising. As with plastic bricks, Lego can take the simplest of concepts and make a powerful, intelligent and often witty statement.

The approach taken with a typical lego ad is often minimal, as you will see from the fantastic print ads below.

There really is no end to Lego creativity.

Please note that this post was completely updated on the 5th of May, 2010. All dead links have been removed and several new ads have been either added or updated.

Did you bother reading the captions? They say “Kids shouldn’t watch too much tv.”

The third one looks like a coastguard boat. It’s definitely not a submarine. I’m a lego ninja…I should know.

I have loved LEGOS since I was a little kid. I wanted to work for LEGO designing LEGO sets. I still do. Legos have been a big part of my life. These are great advertisements!

Ah, the sheer simplicity of some of these ads brings joy to my heart.
Lego was such a big part of my childhood, I can relate to lots of these.

That’s great! I was reading a book, “groundswell” they talk about how they have several people who are into LEGO hardcore. They have talked with these people to help build and create LEGO’s culture and brand. Very cool!

Erm, the Lego solutions(1) has the catapult twice, also it has an erection. o.0 I’m not so sure kids should be making Lego erections.
