LEGO Shop Hacked by Crypto Scam

It looks like the LEGO Shop has been hacked and is hit with a crypto scam. If you are shopping, I would be very wary and keep a close eye on your bank accounts. The scam is in the banner when you hit the main page and it changes to the normal one with the Jabba’s Sail Barge a few seconds later.

If you happen to click on the links, it goes to a marketplace where they are selling “LEGO Tokens” with ETH. I would not buy or sell any of it as LEGO doesn’t do crypto. Thanks to ZTBricks for the heads up.

Update: It looks like the site has been fixed. Good on them to get it done quickly but we’ll see if there was any damage done.

LEGO Brick Take Back Trade-In Program Introduced

An interesting email came in today from LEGO where they are introducing a new buyback program called LEGO Brick Take Back. LEGO is basically buying back your preowned LEGO bricks and you can trade it in for LEGO e-Gift Cards.

It seems that LEGO is buy bulk back and they are offering $6 per pound (USD) for conforming bricks which include LEGO bricks and elements that are fully disassembled and in good condition, LEGO Minifigures and Mini-dolls (no need to disassemble), and LEGO Baseplates. Your parts are then checked to meet eligibility criteria and their goal is to keep as many bricks in play as possible. It looks like this is a test run to see the best way to accomplish their agenda.

LEGO Releases Official Statement Regarding Building Instructions

A few days ago, LEGO put up a survey regarding the future of LEGO Building Instructions and the potential switch to digital instructions. The survey was quickly taken down after an overwhelming amount of backlash across LEGO fan sites and social media or just timely coincidence.

Today LEGO has released an official statement regarding the issue and they have confirmed that they have no plans to stop using physical building instructions.

We would like to reassure fans that we have no plans to stop using physical building instructions in our products.

We conducted this survey to understand more about our adult fans’ preferences regarding our products and building experience, something we do regularly across a range of topics.

We would like to thank our LEGO® Insiders members who took the time to respond to the survey – your feedback is important to us and helps us make our LEGO experiences even better.
