The Series 1 BrickLink Designer Program sets have started shipping to buyers and you can now download the building instructions for the five sets. Building instructions are not included with the sets so you’ll have to use the PDFs to build the sets. This is also good for fans who weren’t able to get the sets as you can also build them but you have to have your own parts.

Scientists at the European Space Agency have used dust from a 4.5 million year old meteorite to print 3D LEGO-style bricks to help design astronaut shelters on the moon. The ESA is exploring ways how buildings can be made using materials found in space. For a limited time, the space bricks will go on display at select LEGO Stores and at the LEGO House from June 24 – September 20.

Today the world celebrates the first ever International Day of Play which was adopted by the United Nations. Whether you’re an adult or have kids, just take some time today and play.
