Say, these 10 items are the ones that Ole Kirk Christiansen (founder of LEGO)
used as his criteria for creating LEGO back in the late 40's/early 50's!

My Dutch isn't excellent, so I didn't read the whole thing.  However,
bullets (or in this case a numbered list) always tends to catch the eye.  So
here is my translation of the list of criteria for a good toy:
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=12873)
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=12872)

1) It must provide limitless possibilities for play.
2) It must be for girls and boys equally.
3) It must be fun for all ages.                                   [AFOLs?]
4) Children must be able to play with it peacefully and safely.
5) Children must be able to play with it year round.
6) It must not bore quickly; it must remain absorbing for hours.
7) It must encourage planning, fantasy, and creativity.
8) The more of it you have, the more fun it must provide. [Business side?]
9) There must be extra (loose) components avaiable.     [Bulk ordering?!?]
10) The quality must be perfect down to the tiniest details.

I'm not sure of the translation of #9 (and even if it is correct, it could
very well apply to consumer affairs as well.)

(...) Isn't that to be expected? After all, this was quoted from the "LEGO Krant", ie, the LEGO Newspaper. --Bram Bram Lambrecht BXL34@po.cwru.edu (URL) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.fabuland, lugnet.general)
