When I was a LEGO-loving kid, I remember most LEGO constructs were half LEGO and half imagination, because nobody could really tell what it was I made unless they were told first. Now, LEGO comes in all forms and sizes, and as seen in this gallery, can be made with [interactive parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium). This [LEGO hobbyist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-fan-build) created this amazing LEGO Airbus A380 with touch screen-controlled engines and servos. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Lego Builds:** Lego constructs are becoming more interactive, providing a new realm for more immersive play experiences. - **Touch Screen-controlled Toys:** Touch screen technology integration in toys provides an opportunity to innovate more immersive play experiences. - **Highly Customizable Toy Design:** Customizable toy designs are becoming more common with emerging interactive technologies, offering opportunities to create unique, one-of-a-kind toys. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can innovate by integrating more interactive technologies for a new level of play experiences. - **Electronics:** Opportunities for electronics to be more readily integrated into toys for more imaginative and interactive play experiences are on the rise. - **3D Printing:** Realizing customizable toy and gadget design may come from 3D printing of individual components which can be assembled with traditional materials for unique play experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Driven Building Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-9.md) - [Sensor-Driven Play Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-smart-bricks.md) - [Building Block Aircraft Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-concorde-set.md) - [Family-Friendly Interactive Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superpower-studios.md) - [Insanely Intricate LEGO Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-rollsroyce.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Cardboard Airplane Builds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-airplane.md) - [Impressive Life-Size LEGO Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesize-lego-technic-mclaren-p1.md) - [Interactive Bloclk Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-hula-girl.md)
