LEGO Billboards at Warner Bros. Studios

February 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Batman Movie is coming out this weekend and it’s making everything contagious with LEGO. If you’re driving by the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, you can see some new LEGO billboards that have been put up depicting various TV shows. The billboards show a lot of DC shows including Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Gotham as well as ome other comedy shows such as The Big Bang Theory, Mom, 2 Broke Girls, The Middle, and Ellen.

There were 10,000 LEGO bricks used to recreate the LEGO versions of the billboards while taking more than 300 hours of building and compositing. One the images were printed out, it took an additional 70 hours to install. The billboards will be on display for a couple of weeks.

February 1, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brand Finance has released their yearly Global 500 rankings and LEGO has regained their position from Disney as the world’s most powerful brand. This is based on a number of factors including brand “familiarity, loyalty, promotion, marketing investment, staff satisfaction, and corportate reputation.”

LEGO has been working towards the top spot for many years from Jørgen Vig Knudstorp who took the company from the brink of bankruptcy to The LEGO Movie a few years ago which gave LEGO the world’s most powerful brand in 2015. Combine that with the upcoming The LEGO Batman Movie and it’s predicted impact as well as more movies coming out in the next few years including The LEGO Ninjago Movie in September, The LEGO Movie Sequel, and The Billion Brick Race will continue to build its brand power.

LEGO at the 2017 London Toy Fair

January 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The 2017 London Toy Fair is set to kick off and LEGO again this year will be on hand to show off some of the upcoming sets for later this year. Photography is still prohibited so we’ll have to wait until the Nuremberg Toy Fair next week to see initial images but for now, we’ll have to rely on attendees who are able to describe the sets in detail to give us a tease of what to expect. We’ve already had an initial list of the rumored Summer 2017 LEGO sets already so I’m excited to see what all is included with these sets.

LEGO Brand Store Valentine’s Day Building Events

January 15, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO 2017 Valentine's Day Building Events

If you checked out the February 2017 LEGO Store Calendar here in the US, you can see there are two building events to celebrate Valentine’s Day. On February 11, there is a kids event to build a mini rose that they can take home. This event is for VIPs and requires a sign up.

Adults also get to join in on the fun on February 14 as they also have a building night. This event is from 6-8pm and it appears the rose build is the same as the one the kids get. Registration is not required but may be necessary if there is a lot of demand for it so you may want to ask an associate just in case. I know the Fashion Valley location has started taking sign ups so there is demand for it at that particular location.
