More Than 1,000 Adult LEGO Fans Gather in Denmark as Toymaker's Profits Surge
The gathering near LEGO's birthplace comes as the company reported a 32% rise in first-half net profit, driven partly by a boom in adults buying its sets for themselves.

More than 1,000 adult fans of LEGO gathered in Denmark, near the toy giant's birthplace, for an event celebrating the brand, according to a report by Euronews en Español.
The gathering coincides with a period of strong financial performance for the Danish company, which reported a net profit of roughly 1.15 billion euros for the first half of the year, a 32% increase.
The report attributes part of that growth to a rise in adults purchasing LEGO sets for themselves rather than for children, a trend the toy industry has increasingly courted with sets aimed at adult collectors and hobbyists.
Further details on the specific event's location, activities and attendance figures beyond the reported total were not included in the available source material.
