Happy 50th Birthday Lego

Lego has officially turned 50 today. The little brick of my childhood continues to rock and I wish I had the money to blow some cash on some of the awesome sets that are now available. As part of the anniversary, Lego plans to re-release the "Town Plan" a classic set from its early days that has a 50s gas station, town hall, cinema and will 3 golden colored bricks. Below is a little timeline courtesy of Gizmodo.

If interested in a little walk down memory lane, Gizmodo also put together a little picture reminder of some of Lego's best sets over the years. Some of which I actually use to own (such as Star Wars) before sold many of them. You can find that here.
