A building toy invented nearly a century ago remains relevant today, having grown up alongside its users.
LEGO, best known for its interlocking plastic bricks, is no longer confined to playroom floors. It fills spare bedrooms, home offices and display tables, evolving into a creative outlet embraced by adults who never truly outgrew it — or, in some cases, discovered it for the first time later in life.
In North Texas, that community takes shape through the DFW LEGO User Group, known as DFW LUG — a LEGO-recognized adult fan group that gathers builders from across the region. The group meets regularly, collaborates on large-scale projects and brings its creations into public spaces, where thousands of people can experience them up close.
John Daugherty, ambassador for DFW LUG, welcomes the diversity and sense of connection within the group. Members range from artists to engineers, accountants to college students, and longtime collectors to new or returning adult builders.
