The Issue

Lego has been a source of joy and creativity for many, including the beloved entertainer Dick Van Dyke. Lego is marketed for individuals aged 4 to 99, but at 100 years old, Dick is now technically outside of this age range. This disheartening technicality seemingly excludes him from engaging with his cherished Lego sets, which is totally unacceptable.

Dick Van Dyke, an icon who has brought laughter and happiness to countless lives through his work, should not be deprived of a hobby that brings him joy in his personal life. Age should not be a barrier to creativity and enjoyment. These blocks offer a space for imagination and innovation, regardless of whether someone is 4 or 104.

This petition seeks to draw attention to this trivial yet impactful oversight in Lego's marketing age range. We propose an amendment to the age guidelines to be inclusive of individuals beyond 99, so legends like Dick Van Dyke, and indeed anyone over the age of 99, can continue to indulge their passion without feeling excluded.

Older individuals can benefit greatly from engaging activities like building with Lego, which can help maintain cognitive function, dexterity, and provide a sense of accomplishment. By signing this petition, you are supporting not only a cherished performer but also advocating for inclusivity and age equality in fun and play. Let's urge Lego to officially acknowledge and celebrate builders of all ages.

Sign this petition to ensure that the pleasure of building Lego sets can be enjoyed by everyone, including the wonderful centenarian, Dick Van Dyke. Together, we can make play truly ageless.
