LEGO Blooming Rainbow Party Paid Building Event

October 12, 2026 /

LEGO Brand Stores this coming weekend will be having another building event but this time, it will be what I believe to be the first paid one for the Blooming Rainbow Party. The event will be held on October 17-18 and each spot will cost $5 each. You can sign up now at your nearest store and you’ll have to pay first. I’m not sure how popular these paid building events will be or if LEGO Stores will be doing more for the builders.

LEGO SMART Play Sued for Patent Infringement

September 24, 2026 /

The LEGO Group has been sued by a patent company, May Patents Ltd., that alleges LEGO SMART Play infringes on three of its patents. According to Bloomberg, the patents in question are US Patent Nos. 11,192,002, 12,095,277, and 12,288,992 and they state that the LEGO SMART Brick and charger have similar features as the patented items including the accelerometer to produce an output signal and a visual display to give information to the user.

May Patent also allege that LEGO knew about the patents before SMART Play launched back in March and are looking for damages. Note that May Patents Ltd. is considered a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE) which is commonly known as patent trolls. They acquire patents not to manufacture products but to file lawsuits to get licensing fees and/or settlements.

Together, the communities will use millions of LEGO elements to bring a collection of giant Modular Buildings to life, with the creations eventually coming together at events and exhibitions around the world.

The LEGO Group Launches LEGO Fan CoLab

August 25, 2026 /

LEGO Fan CoLab Recognized LEGO Fan Creator

A few weeks ago, LEGO officially launched the LEGO Fan CoLab which replaces the LEGO Ambassador Network. If you didn’t know the LEGO Ambassador Network (LAN) was a centralized place where LEGO communities, LUGs, content creators, blogs, etc. could interact with each other but mainly it was for a line of communication with LEGO directly. There were also some perks for being a recognized community including access to press releases, early review sets, support for events, etc.

The new LEGO Fan CoLab builds on what they have learned on the LAN and expands on how LEGO interacts with the fan ecosystem which includes communities, creators, event organizers, media, developers, artists, builders, and many others who contribute to the LEGO fan experience. Of course, we can still interact with various recognized communities and share information.

All the participants are separated into three groups, Recognized LEGO Fan Creators, Recognized LEGO Fan Communities, and Recognized LEGO Fan Events. We here at The Brick Fan are now called a Recognition LEGO Fan Creator and LEGO has sent over a neat little sign, among other things, to help us promote both our site and the Fan CoLab itself.

Changing from the LEGO Ambassador Network to the LEGO Fan CoLab doesn’t change what we do here at The Brick Fan. We’ll still be doing the normal LEGO news and set reveals with some LEGO reviews and shopping deals thrown in here and there. Of course, we will also be attending San Diego Comic Con every summer as well so everything is business … Continue
