"lego is giving on million toys to children in need around the world this holiday season.
Here's how the lego-mini builds are given out.
Kids walk up to the truck -- and speak into a mic for one of nine lego packs they want.
Their wish is granted but there's a catch.
"when they com and get their mini- build they get two.
One to keep and one to share.
And with it being the holiday season sharing is very important."
The emphasis on sharing is the core of lego's build to give campaign.
Encouraging kids to turn these bricks to sharable gifts.
"i think it's amazing my kids love their legos and the fact that they are going to be able to share them with their friends this afternoon, is going to be wonderful."
"so how excite are you to be able to buid with this ufo set?
I would say out of a 10 on a one to ten scale, i would say ten."
"everybody's bee really excited about it because there haven't been a lot of things like this going on.
But lego felt so strongly about being able to bring to communities and find people a little joy in the holiday season.
Justin adams "alright here w go.
Race car!"
