LEGO Caught Using AI Generated Content – Releases Statement

We all can agree that the use of artificial intelligence is a controversial subject and LEGO recently has been caught using AI images on their site. Over on the now taken down LEGO Ninjago character quiz, there were plenty of AI images of the characters, some of which were very badly made. You can see that on the hands on some of them.

LEGO has released an official statement about this issue. On one hand, they have a policy of not using AI generated content but they also state that AI “offers interesting opportunities” so I’m not really sure if they’re really against it or not.

We have a clear policy not to use generative AI to create LEGO® content. We fundamentally believe in the wonder and power of human creativity and will continue to encourage and celebrate the talented artists who help bring our brand and characters to life.

These images were used in a test which happened outside of our usual approval processes, and we will take all necessary steps to ensure that it won’t happen again.

We believe generative AI offers interesting opportunities and we will continue to explore how we can use it to improve the experiences we offer and our ways of working.

LEGO March 2024 Sets Now Available on LEGO Shop

March is now here and there is a plethora of new LEGO sets that have just released on the LEGO Shop. The big theme for March is LEGO Animal Crossing which was one of the more popular announcements last year. Also anticipated to be pretty popular are the new LEGO Star Wars sets with the new midi-scale ships.

For the gift with purchase sets, we have the LEGO Flower Store (40680) with purchases of $200 or more and it runs until March 11 or while supplies last. There’s also a LEGO Friends Beach Clean-up (30635) + LEGO Animal Crossing Maple’s Pumpkin Garden (30662) polybag bundle with purchases of $50 in Animal Crossing, City, Creator 3-in-1, DREAMZzz, or Friends.

For LEGO Insiders, the new LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) is now available to redeem in the Rewards Center. It’ll cost you 2,700 Insider points and remember there will be four sets in total so it’ll cost you a whopping 10,800 points for the series. Fortunately, it’s less than what China has to spend on them but it still equates to over $1,600 spent to acquire enough points.

LEGO March 2024 Shopping Guide

March is just around the corner and it will be a pretty big month in terms of LEGO releases as it is the third largest of the year. As of right now, there are about 50 new items on the LEGO Shop that will be available from pretty much a majority of the LEGO themes including the highly anticipated Animal Crossing.

As for any gift with purchase sets go, LEGO hasn’t officially announced anything yet although we’ve seen plenty of GWP items such as the Flower Shop (40680) and the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) although they haven’t said when they will be released. We’ll just have to wait until the end of this month to see what will be dropping overseas first to see what we’ll be getting.

LEGO Confirms Ninjago and Legends of Chima Are Connected

LEGO over on YouTube has been doing teasers for LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising Season 2 and their latest one finally confirms one of the character’s origin to LEGO Legends of Chima. Lord Ras and Jordana are trekking through the Wyldness and while talking, Ras mentions that the Forever Rock is one of the regions of his land. Fans of Chima know that the Forever Rock was the place where Laval and Cragger used to play as kids while marking their game wins on the rock.

Fans have been wondering if the two themes were related and there have been questions asked during the SDCC Ninjago panels if Chima was part of Ninjago or if Ras was from Chima and it looks like we can confirm that they are canon. LEGO has done a good job with the storyline of the merged realms which allows them more flexibility to connect Ninjago to other themes. We’ve already seen that done already with LEGO DREAMZzz last year.

LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) GWP Official Images

The official product page for the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) is now up on the LEGO Shop. It has 339 pieces and it is listed as a gift with purchase set so it looks like it’ll be different from China where it’ll cost Insider points to get.

Since the set is now up on the LEGO Shop, it probably means that it’ll be released pretty soon. There’s no mentioning on what the price requirements are but I’m assuming it’ll be about the same or maybe lower as the Houses of the World sets from last year which required $250 purchases each.

Ninja fans aged 10 and up can now build their own micro model of NINJAGO® City with this fun and detailed playset. Micro NINJAGO City (40703) is a downsized version of the bigger NINJAGO City (70620) building set and features a bustling 5-story city block with teahouses and a rooftop sushi bar. The micro city can also be connected to 3 other micro sets (sold separately) to complete a small NINJAGO City.
