Modulars Around the World

22 LEGO® fan communities come together to celebrate 20 years of the LEGO Icons Modular Building Collection

Together, the communities will use millions of LEGO elements to bring a collection of giant Modular Buildings to life, with the creations eventually coming together at events and exhibitions around the world.

The participating communities represent a truly global collaboration, spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

The LEGO Group Launches LEGO Fan CoLab

LEGO Fan CoLab Recognized LEGO Fan Creator

A few weeks ago, LEGO officially launched the LEGO Fan CoLab which replaces the LEGO Ambassador Network. If you didn’t know the LEGO Ambassador Network (LAN) was a centralized place where LEGO communities, LUGs, content creators, blogs, etc. could interact with each other but mainly it was for a line of communication with LEGO directly. There were also some perks for being a recognized community including access to press releases, early review sets, support for events, etc.

The new LEGO Fan CoLab builds on what they have learned on the LAN and expands on how LEGO interacts with the fan ecosystem which includes communities, creators, event organizers, media, developers, artists, builders, and many others who contribute to the LEGO fan experience. Of course, we can still interact with various recognized communities and share information.

All the participants are separated into three groups, Recognized LEGO Fan Creators, Recognized LEGO Fan Communities, and Recognized LEGO Fan Events. We here at The Brick Fan are now called a Recognition LEGO Fan Creator and LEGO has sent over a neat little sign, among other things, to help us promote both our site and the Fan CoLab itself.

Changing from the LEGO Ambassador Network to the LEGO Fan CoLab doesn’t change what we do here at The Brick Fan. We’ll still be doing the normal LEGO news and set reveals with some LEGO reviews and shopping deals thrown in here and there. Of course, we will also be attending San Diego Comic Con every summer as well so everything is business … Continue
