The LEGO x Levi’s Collection is now available for purchase here in the US. There are 15 items in the collection, some of which will be released a little later down the road. One thing about the collection is that they are a little bit more on the expensive side but there are LEGO fans that like them.

There’s a new service that has recently launched that is a new way to explore and shop for LEGO called ToySphere. What it basically does is that it takes all the LEGO themes and puts theme into “spheres” to give you a visual way to see all of the sets that have been released in a particular theme from the last decade. By zooming in on a certain item, you can either check out the description or purchase it off the LEGO Shop or on the secondary market if it’s retired.

Since ToySphere just went live, there are only a few spheres/themes available at the moment but will be continuously updated in the near future. Since we process visual data better, ToySphere has done a good job in putting all the sets in certain categories within the theme.

Sphere are excited to announce the launch of LEGO ToySphere, a completely unique and immersive format, reimagining shopping for LEGO and allowing fans to view the last decade of LEGO like never before.

Lifelong LEGO fans Olly Treadway and Warren Minde have come together to build ToySphere – bringing the excitement, playfulness and immersion of a trip to a real LEGO store online. Pouring time and passion into building this awesome new way to explore and shop LEGO, the team have spent the past six years on this epic fan project.

Combining Olly’s tech wizardry and passion for LEGO, with Warren’s years of experience consulting to the LEGO leadership at their HQ in Billund, Denmark, this is

There’s a new independent service called Brick Hound that sends you text alerts for when items are available again on the LEGO Shop. It checks the status of an item and if it sees a change, it’ll send you an alert. I’ve had a few readers message me about it saying that it works so I’ve signed up for it to test it out and sure enough, it worked on the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294). Currently, it only works for the US market and if you don’t want any more alerts, you can also unsubscribe from it as well.

Msg & data rates may apply. Your phone number will only be used to send alerts as requested by you. No other personally identifying information will be collected, and your phone number will not be shared. You may text “STOP” at any time to immediately terminate all text messages.

The LEGO Minifigure Factory to be revealed in the LEGO® House store in Billund

At the LEGO Store in LEGO® House a big secret has been hidden behind decorative cardboard boxes for a while with the text “coming soon” written outside it. From Friday guests will be met by the brand new LEGO Minifigure Factory when they enter the retail store.

The LEGO Minifigure Factory lets you customise and personalise your own minifigure torso by adding text, decorations and even drawings on it. All done on a computer and a few minutes later – a freshly printed personal minifigure is ready just for you!

Guests will be able to pick between a few pre-selected designs to start with, but it is also possible to create a new design by drawing and adding text to the minifigure torso. Furthermore guests will be able to pick among approximately 20 exclusive LEGO House prints like the LEGO House logo, a Play Agent torso, the house drawn in drone perspective,

LEGO has officially announced their partnership with Levi’s for a clothing line collection. This collaboration features a variety of clothing including a jacket, hoodie, sweater, shirt, and jeans. There’s also plenty of accessories to go along with the look including a cap, beanie, bags, and a fanny pack.

Also exclusive to this collection is the first-ever flexible LEGO baseplate in which you can customize to your style. There will also be a 110 piece bag of LEGO DOTS (40438) that has exclusive tiles of the Levi’s logo.

There’s no word on when or where the LEGO x Levi’s clothing line will be available but there is a landing page on LEGO Shop@Home so I assume you’ll be able to get it there as well as at some retailers.

LEGO Group x Levi’s®

Wearable Art. Celebrating Limitless Imagination.

Who doesn’t love LEGO® bricks? And who doesn’t have a fond LEGO memory from their childhood (or even adulthood)? Whether you build from instructions, or dream up something from your imagination, LEGO building is the ultimate platform for creative experimentation and development.

And of course, no one loves creativity and playfulness — as well as infinite customizability — more than Levi’s®. Which is exactly why the two iconic brands have teamed up for a special Levi’s® and LEGO Group collection.

“This is such a fun collaboration celebrating self-expression, creativity and nostalgia,” says Karyn Hillman, Chief Product Officer for Levi Strauss & Co. “It’s Levi’s® and the LEGO Group coming together to co-create something really special and new, but undeniably

Last year, we reported that the Shanghai police had successfully raided some factories that produced Lepin and some of the bosses were arrested.

The main boss surnamed Li was sentenced to six years and fined 90 million yuan (about $13.19 million USD) for copyright infringement. The other people were sentenced to four years and six months to three years and fined as well.

The LEGO Group has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as part of its commitment to becoming a more circular business. The foundation is the global leader in a circular economy which is a system that is aimed to eliminating waste and the continual use of resources. The quality and durability of LEGO’s products can be passed down to many generations while being fully compatible to elements produced today.

Ellen MacArthur Foundation and LEGO Group join forces to accelerate the move towards a circular economy

Monday 31st August: Today, the LEGO Group has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as part of its commitment to becoming a more circular business.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is the global leader in circular economy while the LEGO® System in Play inspires endless play possibilities that supports the principles of circular design. The quality and durability of LEGO products mean they can be reused and passed down through generations, while remaining fully compatible with elements produced today.

The shared ambition for the membership is to help build a better planet for future generations by driving the global transition towards a circular society.

The three year membership will focus on four key areas; working with the Foundation’s network of businesses, experts and policymakers to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, inspiring circular design across the toy industry and beyond, expanding the circular services and products the LEGO Group offers, and teaching children about the circular economy through play.

Speaking about the membership Tim Brooks, Vice President of Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO

After a successful test in different countries and languages, LEGO Braille Bricks has been officially launched. Check out the details below on how to acquire them.

LEGO® Braille Bricks to launch in twenty countries over the next six months following successful pilot program

The LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group roll out the first wave of the program in partnership with local sight loss organizations to help children with vision impairment learn critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration through play.

Billund, August 20th 2020: Today, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group announced the official launch of LEGO Braille Bricks in seven countries, including Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, UK and USA. The program was first unveiled as a pilot project in April 2019 during the Sustainable Brands Conference in Paris, France – home ground of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. Since then, the concept has been tested across various languages and cultural contexts and is ready to launch in six languages, including Danish, Norwegian, English, Portuguese, German and French. Four additional language versions will launch over the next six months, with the ambition that the concept will be implemented in a total of eleven languages across twenty countries by early 2021.

LEGO Braille Bricks introduces a fun and engaging way to help children with vision impairment develop tactile skills and learn the braille system. The bricks are moulded so that the
