Hello!

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Jojo/sonstiges/25jahreminifig.jpg

In 1978 the LEGO tadpoles (the old minifigs without extremities) finished
off their metamorphosis, and they got arms and legs.

It seems like only yesterday...

For 25 years now,
Minifigs have been living in the Towns, Castles and various Planets of our
Legoland, the Minifigs that we know and love today, as well as back then.

So rise your glasses to propose a toast to this wonderful ...human... being.
May the next 25 years be as prosper as the past has been!

Hmmm... 25 years will mark the expiry of (some of the) minifig patents
too... which could be interesting (I note that the head (more or less), the
pigtail girl hair, the peaked cap and the cowboy hat are already older than 25).

Cheers

Hip-hip-hooray for the minifig!

Richie
