Only from the age of 18

Why this Lego set is not for children

A few days before Christmas, the search for suitable gifts for loved ones is in full swing. In the hustle and bustle, however, it is important not to forget to look at the manufacturer's age recommendations. Krone+ asked Lego, for example, why the harmless building block Simba is only suitable for adults.

The other day in my trusted toy store: My daughter is interested in Lego sets and has put Simba on her wish list for Christmas. Before my wife's objection puts a stop to the pre-Christmas joy: "It's only for ages 18 and up!" In disbelief, I take a look at the packaging. Indeed: 18+!
