There is also a growing number of what the company refers to as AFOLs, or Adult Fans of LEGO, and Abell said they are "by far" the toy's biggest advocates.

"They build with LEGO all the time, post things online, and make YouTube videos," he said.

"It's not that we market directly to them, but we absolutely have conversations with them."

Abell said examples such as these justify a holistic approach with the type of brand that LEGO has, because "parents value it and kids have fun with it."
