Big party at LEGO for 60 years of the brick?

It's the rumor at the moment: LEGO would consider celebrating the creation of the plastic brick as we still know it today. In 2018, this piece of ABS plastic will indeed be 60 years old.

We are told (on Eurobricks) a mini range of five sets for the occasion, without really knowing what will be in these boxes. Fans are already going from their favorite assortment, hoping for the monorail, the Castle, the Space Classic, the old-school City, etc ...

We can legitimately hope that LEGO will pay tribute to the ranges that helped create the legend of the brand and all the more or less true stories that some fans believe they remember with nostalgia that go with it (... You see my son, these LEGO bricks, I got them from my great-great-grandfather ... he built steam locomotives in the gardens of Versailles under the benevolent gaze of Charlemagne ...).

Hopefully, LEGO will also pay tribute, with many promotions and exclusive products offered, to all those who have assiduously consumed its products over the past sixty years ...

While waiting to learn more about this hypothetical wave of sets, let's not get carried away. I remind you that in 2008 for the 50 years of this same brick, LEGO had certainly released the heavy artillery with a remake of the Town Plan of 1958 marketed under the reference 10184 but that to celebrate this year the 40 years of the LEGO range Technic we had to be satisfied with that:

The advice of the day: Do not expect much, the surprise will be even more beautiful.
