As we know by now, LEGO has been used as a hobby to relieve stress and boosting morale. Professional service network Deloitte has recently updated their benefits to include LEGO. The company offers its employees a $1,000 well-being subsidy to spend on things to improve their life and their updated policy in June has added LEGO to the list.

Pretty much all employees that are not interns, contractors, or employees that are on leave are eligible to buy up to $1,000 on LEGO on the company’s dime, if they so choose. LEGO’s most expensive set is still the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) coming in at $850 and Deloitte employees can now get it pretty much for free. It’ll be cool to see other companies adopt something for employees even if it’s not $1,000.

For this year’s International Day of Play, The LEGO Group has announced they are putting the world in “play mode” by transforming urban cities into playful immersive experiences. The cities targeted for this initiative include Boston, Berlin, London, and Shanghai and for World Play Day, LEGO has enlisted a global crew of creators to help bring these ideas to life.

The LEGO Group celebrates World Play Day by inspiring kids to reimagine urban spaces for play

• A new global study from the LEGO Group reveals that nearly 7 in 10 parents don’t feel their city offers sufficient safe and accessible play spaces designed for children.

• The research also uncovered that 1 in 3 children feel adults designing urban environments don’t consider their needs or preferences. To help change that, the LEGO Group has been running a global Build the Change challenge, inviting children to reimagine their cities through play.

• On International Day of Play the LEGO Group is putting the world in ‘play mode’ by demonstrating how kids’ ideas have the power to transform cities. Urban spaces in Boston, Berlin, London and Shanghai will be transformed into playful immersive experiences for kids and families.

• The LEGO Group is committed to turning these playful visions into lasting impact, sharing children’s ideas with urban planners and policymakers, including at the UN’s headquarters in New York City, to advocate for kid-centric city design.

• The LEGO Group has teamed up with world-renowned 3D street artist Joe Hill to reveal what a truly playful city looks

LEGO has announced their newest ad campaign called She Built That which reimagines the Run-DMC song It’s Like That to celebrate girls’ creativity. It features scratch sensation DJ Livia, drumming prodigy Nanji Bushell, vocalist Pink Oculus, and Chinese alt-pop icon Cacien who are part of a Global Girls Crew who has rebuilt the Run-DMC song.

RUN DMC’s ‘It’s Like That’ Is Reimagined by the LEGO Group and ‘Global Girls Crew’ to Empower a New Generation of Girl Builders

• The new music video and campaign titled “She Built That” encourages girls to redefine and reclaim what it means to be a builder and celebrates their creativity.
• Through “She Built That” the LEGO Group wants to challenge societal stereotypes that can stifle the potential of girls and inspire the next generation of female builders.
• Recent global research reveals that ‘a man on a construction site’ is the most common association kids have with the word ‘builder’. Even today, parents and children are five times** more likely to associate the term ‘building’ with ‘masculinity’ rather than ‘femininity’.
• US teen scratch sensation and spinner-to-the-stars DJ Livia, 15-year-old British drumming prodigy Nandi Bushell, Dutch-Surinamese vocalist Pink Oculus and Chinese alt-pop icon Cacien are part of a Global Girls Crew who have rebuilt the iconic anthem from RUN DMC.
• Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels appear as LEGO® Minifigures, lending their unmistakable voices to the new “She Built That” video.

Virginia, USA, 8 May 2025: The LEGO Group today announced it will invest US $366 million to build and operate a 2,000,000-square-foot regional distribution center (RDC) in Prince George, Virginia, U.S. The RDC is expected to be operational in 2027, with construction starting later this year.

The RDC will support the LEGO Group’s future factory in Greater Richmond, Virginia, which is currently being built and set to open in 2027.
