Toy of the Year Awards winners revealed

The annual Toy of the Year Awards has honoured the top toys of the previous year, with LEGO scooping the top three gongs.

Building sets from LEGO Star Wars and the build and code toolkit, LEGO BOOST, were recognized as Toy of the Year in the Construction, Specialty and Tech categories, respectively, which were awarded at the Toy Association’s annual gala to celebrate the best and most innovative toys, held Friday, February 16th in New York City.

"We are honoured to be recognized as the gold standard in toys by the industry and consumers alike. Given that we pioneered the convergence of LEGO bricks and technology with LEGO Mindstorms 20 years ago, it’s particularly exciting that our build and code toolkit, LEGO Boost, was cited as Tech Toy of the Year," said Michael McNally, senior director, brand relations at LEGO Systems, Inc. 

"Receiving two T.O.T.Y. Awards for LEGO Star Wars is a testament to the power of the Star Wars property brought to life in LEGO form for fans of all ages."
