On Saturday, June 24th, 1995, LEGO Systems, Inc. opened
its doors for a rare factory tour. The lucky invitees, mostly friends and family of Lego employees,
got an inside look at the inner workings of the factory. Everyone who got in was given one of

Blank Logo Brick
Nothing concrete is known about this brick. I am guessing it is
either a test brick or a mistake in printing, notice there is no yellow around the logo like you
see in other bricks. I am putting this here in the timeline because the Red Sox brick below is the
first time we see a white promo brick. If you have any info on this brick please let me know.

Brick or Treat, 2003 - Version B
This is the alternate version of the brick given out at Legoland.
This brick
was not given out at Legoland, but at various locations like the Lego stores worldwide.
You can tell this brick came from the Lego stores because it has the Lego logo instead
of the Legoland and Brick or Treat logo. And for the first time I would say this version is more
common than the Legoland version. There are many more Lego stores open now than ever before and
you could get this brick at any of them. Also the amount of time you could get the Legoland
version was the shortest it has ever been in the history of this brick.

Brick or Treat, 2004 - Version B
Ok, what is going on here? This is the first time in the five year
history that Lego has used two different designs for the two different Halloween bricks. This brick
was given out at the Lego stores worldwide to celebrate Halloween. I really do like the design on
this brick but I really wish they kept with the tradition they had.
|
Brick or Treat, 2005 - Version B
For the second year in a row Lego has used two different designs for
the two versions of the Halloween bricks. This version of the brick was given out at the Lego stores worldwide during the Halloween season. As with last year I really do like the design on this brick much more than the design they used for the Legoland California version.

Happy Birthday Brick From Lego Stores
This Happy Birthday brick was given out at the Lego stores. From
the information I have been told there is three different ways this brick was given out. The first
way is to kids who actually have their birthday party in the Lego store. The second way is they
are given out to people who just ask for them. The third way they are given out is they are sold
just like they were bulk brick in the Pick-A-Brick wall. There seems to be no set way that
was communicated as to what to do with these bricks since they are being given out in different
ways. These bricks first showed up along with the Halloween bricks in 2005.
