The LEGO Group teams up with the stars of women’s football to inspire children to Play Unstoppable

World-class players Megan Rapinoe, Yuki Nagasato, Sam Kerr and Asisat Oshoala have joined the team sheet to help the LEGO Group champion the way girls’ play – both on and off the pitch.

The new Play Unstoppable campaign follows research that found girls feel less restrained by typical gender biases in play than boys – 82% of girls think it’s OK for girls to play football and boys to practice ballet, compared to only 71% of boys.

The limitless potential of girls when they can play without boundaries is celebrated in a new LEGO® Icons of Play set featuring minifigures of all four pioneering footballers.

Before if you went to a LEGOLAND Discovery Center to shop for LEGO, you wouldn’t earn any VIP points which confused a lot of fans since it’s LEGO. This was because Discovery Centers was owned by Merlin Entertainments before 2019 and not The LEGO Group themselves but times are changing as LEGO has announced a pilot program to have the VIP program at a particular Discovery Center.

The American Dream LEGOLAND Discovery Center in New Jersey will be the lucky store to test out this new system. There’s no word on how long it will go for or if any other stores will get the same treatment later on. If we look at previous pilot programs LEGO has done in the past, they eventually will roll it out but it usually takes months for them to do it.

We are excited to announce that the LEGO® VIP Program is now live in the American Dream LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop, New Jersey, as part of a new pilot initiative.

The pilot will allow LEGO® fans to access the VIP program, and give the opportunity to sign-up, and earn & redeem LEGO® VIP points.

Initially the pilot will only be available in the LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop in New Jersey, located in American Dream, and not in other LEGOLAND Discovery Center or LEGOLAND Park shops.

We are really excited to offer the LEGO® VIP program to all shoppers visiting the American Dream mall and hope to welcome many of you there!

More particularly, LEGO is interested in what you have done with the oldest set in your collection. Obviously if you’ve been collecting for decades, it might be somewhat hard to remember what your oldest set is and what you’ve done with it since you first got it. It’s one of the more interesting surveys that LEGO has put out and it may bring you some joy by remembering your first set.

The Journey of your LEGO® Set

Here at the LEGO Group we are interested in learning about the different environments that a LEGO set will experience in its lifetime. Will it be displayed, rebuilt multiple times, kept in a box, or something completely different. Please take this survey to help us understand the journey that the oldest LEGO set currently in your home has gone through. The results of this survey will help different internal teams with understanding environmental factors that will impact a product during its lifetime.

We in the LEGO Group, are constantly fascinated by and grateful to our consumers for their support and growing relationships. As children are our role models, so is every single LEGO user – a shining star that is iconic and should not be overlooked. Therefore, we are reaching out to you, hoping to learn more about the past, present, and future of the oldest LEGO set you have currently at home.
