LEGO is doing a new licensed merchandise survey and you can have a say on what you would like to see in future products. The survey is US/UK centered but you can fill it out if you’re in other countries as well but keep in mind it’ll ask about the items in the US dollar and British pound.

It asks how you feel from a variety of mockup product offerings from hoodies, t-shirts, up-scaled LEGO items, travel mugs, backpacks, and more that you can check out and see if you would like to buy something like that and where you would buy it at. The items you see are not the final product but could be something you would see in the near future.

We are excited to invite you to participate in a 15-minute survey about our licensed merchandise product offerings. At the LEGO® Group, we are constantly striving to innovate and expand our portfolio, and your feedback will play a crucial role in guiding our decisions.

This survey aims to understand your current shopping habits and preferences, alongside your insights on licensed merchandise concept ideas (non-brick products; clothing, books, storage solutions). Your responses will inform our team’s efforts to identify new business growth areas and enhance the LEGO® licensed merchandise portfolio.

We welcome any additional feedback or suggestions you may have regarding LEGO licensed merchandised products. All responses provided in this survey will be anonymous and used for research purposes only.

Gray|Hourigan selected as general contractor.

Virginia, USA, February 15, 2024: The LEGO Group today announced it has appointed a permanent program lead and general contractor as it advances work on its more than US $1 billion manufacturing site in Chesterfield County, near Richmond, Virginia.

Preben Elnef named permanent program leader

Preben Elnef will assume program leadership from April 2024, and will be responsible for all aspects of the project, including the factory’s construction and opening.

Super Bowl LVIII is going on right now and during one of the commercial breaks, Universal Pictures showed off their trailer for the upcoming Wicked movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. LEGO on their social media accounts without any pictures posted “Wonder if LEGO bricks could defy gravity…💚👀”. Also, a reply to the Wicked account on X/Twitter, they posted “Emerald City here we come!”

This seemingly suggests that LEGO could be releasing a set for the movie in the future. Wicked premieres in theaters this Thanksgiving so if there is a set made, it wouldn’t be released until around the holiday time. If LEGO does make a Wicked set, what do you want to see in it?

Wonder if LEGO bricks could defy gravity…💚👀
