LEGO.com is an online store and entertainment website that serves as the official website of the LEGO Group.

History

LEGO.com, then called the LEGO World Wide Web Site, went online on 22 March 1996 at 18:45:50 CET. Its launch was announced on 29 March 1996 after a week of system testing and user feedback. It was created largely in response to LEGO fan sites ("LEGO homepages") and the Usenet newsgroup rec.toys.lego.[2]

The lego.com domain was registered on 22 August 1995 by LEGO Juris A/S.[1]
