A few months, LEGO announced that LEGO account integration will be coming to BrickLink later this year and we now have a set date for it. It will be happening one month from now on September 18. If you have a LEGO account, you will be able to merge it with your BrickLink account. If you do not merge your BrickLink account by December 31, it will be deactivated and your data will be anonymized and you won’t be able to use your old account as you’ll be directed to make a new one.

LEGO® Account integration is coming September 18th, which will create a single sign-in experience for both LEGO.com and BrickLink.com. After integration, the LEGO® Group Privacy Policy will apply. The current LEGO Group Privacy Policy will be updated to include BrickLink data processing prior to the account integration.

Do I need to do anything?

If you already have a LEGO Account, you’ll be able to merge it with your BrickLink® account starting September 18th, at which time you can also accept our new Terms of Service and the LEGO Group Privacy Policy.

LEGO has partnered up with Aardman Animations to create a new animated short called Boop. Aardman are the creators of Wallace & Gromit and there is a 1 minute short to encourage creative storytelling using stop motion. There are also 5 mini stop motion challenge films including Build Your Own Boop to be released monthly on the LEGO Play App.

THE LEGO GROUP AND AARDMAN PARTNER TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY IN YOUNG BUILDERS THROUGH STOP MOTION

Today, the LEGO Group and multi-award-winning Aardman Animations, stop motion masters and creators of the Wallace & Gromit franchise, have announced a new partnership, to help inspire young builders and encourage creative storytelling using stop motion inspired by the LEGO® brick.

Both brands are committed to inspiring kids through creativity and play and are teaming up to set young builders a creative challenge using the LEGO Play app, where kids can use the animation tool within the app to share their own animated stories with a chance to see their ideas featured in an amazing Aardman story.

An animated short to announce the challenge sees Aardman bringing their unique style of storytelling to inspire kids to use stop motion, as an alien called ‘Boop’ (made from Aardman’s iconic clay) finds themself transported to a world of LEGO bricks.

In that world, Boop meets LEGO minifigures who they befriend, but where their story goes is something the LEGO Group and Aardman are inviting young creatives to decide by asking them to help finish the story.

The animated short can be seen here:

The University of Texas at Arlington is celebrating their 130th anniversary and has released a limited edition LEGO UTA Tower Custom Kit. Although this is not an official LEGO product, I am very interested in this set because this is my alma mater and a period of time where I learned a lot about myself and being independent.

I want to purchase this set but it is only available exclusively at the UTA Bookstore. Obviously being from California, I’m not just going to fly to Texas to buy it and come back. This is a reach out to the LEGO community asking if someone is available to help me purchase the set. Obviously, I’ll repay you and I may send something back your way as a thank you for your time. If you are available, please contact me at the usual spots.

Update: It looks like UTA put the set up on their store site and I have secured a copy. Thanks to everyone who reached out. I appreciate it.
