For the second year in a row, The LEGO Group has been announced as the world’s most reputable company. This is also the eighth straight year that LEGO has been in the top three companies. To be considered on the RepTrak 100 list, companies are required to have global revenue above $2 billion, achieve a global familiarity threshold above 20% across 14 countries and a regional familiarity above 20% in at least 7 of the 14 countries, and reach a Reputation Score of 67.3 points.

The LEGO Group recognised as the most reputable company in the world for the second consecutive year

BILLUND, April 11, 2024: Today, the LEGO Group has been ranked as the most reputable company in the world in the annual Global RepTrak®100 survey released by the RepTrak Company™.

Chief Executive Officer of the LEGO Group, Niels B. Christiansen, said: “I am very proud the LEGO Group has been named the World’s Most Reputable Company again in 2024. This is testament to the dedication of our colleagues who all play a part in building a sustainable future and a better world for our children to inherit. Together, we’re working to create positive, lasting impact and inspiring the builders of tomorrow.”

This is the second consecutive year that the LEGO Group has been ranked number one, and the eighth year in a row the LEGO Group has been ranked in the top three.

The Global RepTrak® report developed by the RepTrak Company™ ranks the 100 Most Reputable Companies. The report is the world’s most

The Mimic Dice Box (5008325) gift with purchase set for the new LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale (21348) sold out in less than a day and the secondary market for the set looks to have become the most expensive GWP in recent memory. Currently, they are going for about $135-$140 on eBay while BrickLink is still in the low $100s. We don’t usually talk about reselling sets that much but this topic is a part of the hobby and for some, a job. For a long time now, reselling LEGO has been a polarizing topic. Fans are usually either for or against it but there’s also some in-betweeners as well.

As we know by now, the yellow box GWPs are a more limited quantity than the standard box sets and some of them tend to command a higher premium if you missed out originally. Since it’s still early and fans still haven’t received theirs yet if they ordered online, the prices are still high but will settle down a little in the coming weeks as orders are getting delivered.

That begs the question, do you care about the sealed secondary prices of the LEGO gift with purchase sets or do build them as if they’re any other set? Furthermore, do you resell the GWPs to recoup some of the money for the main set(s) you’re purchasing?

The United Nations has adopted an International Day of Play to protect children’s right to play and it will be held on June 11.

UN signals importance of play by adopting official International Day of Play

• Global partners have successfully called on the United Nations to adopt an International Day of Play to champion and protect children’s right to play.
• The International Day of Play will be June 11th, with the inaugural celebration to take place in 2024.
• Global research surveying more than 25,000 children across 36 countries reveals that as many as 73% of children don’t believe adults take play – and how it can help them learn – seriously1.

Billund, March 26th 2024: Play is a fundamental right for every child. Yet, the importance of play in helping children develop life-long skills is often forgotten. With only 30% of adults aware that play is a fundamental birth right adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 19892 there is an urgent need to put play back on the agenda.

To drive this ambition forward, a dedicated network of global organisations, play experts and, most importantly, children and youth themselves, have called on UN member states to support the resolution for an International Day of Play. The LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation and other founding members of the movement are proud to announce that the UN General Assembly has adopted this international awareness day.

Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group said about the adoption: “We believe that all children should benefit
