Adam Builds – Lego King
Most of us spent a fair amount of time as kids gathered around a pile of Legos building radical cars, unicorns, ninjas and all of the other essentials in a childhood arsenal. As adults, most of us find ourselves fiddling with objects on our desk trying to think of dramatic and clever messages to leave on our friends’ refrigerators with the letter magnets and generally bolster the level of sillydom around us with cartoon mustaches, horns, and inappropriate thought clouds. This sense of whimsy, combined with well thought out design, is what makes the products of Adam Builds a must have for any child at heart.
