LEGO Announces Price Increase Starting in August

LEGO has announced that the prices on some LEGO sets will be increased in August and September due to increased costs of raw materials and operating costs. They have not said which sets will get the price bump but they did state that some prices on sets will not change and some will get a single digit increase while the larger ones will get a percentage increase. Obviously, this will affect shopping habits and many will pull back due to inflation in other parts of the economy as well.

Update on pricing

The current global economic challenges of increased raw material and operating costs are impacting many businesses.

Putting consumers first is at the heart of what we do as a company, and for some time, we have absorbed these costs to keep pricing stable. However, as these costs have continued to rapidly rise, we have taken the decision to increase the price on some of our sets. This increase will come into effect in August and September.

The increase will differ depending on the set and prices will change on around a quarter of the portfolio. On some sets we will not alter price, on others there will be a single digit increase and on larger, more complex sets the percentage increase will be higher.

We will continue to work to ensure our products offer great value and full recognise how important this is to our fans and everyone who love our products.

June kicks off a series of plans from the LEGO Group in support of LGBTQIA+ communities

Billund, June 1st, 2022: The LEGO Group today announces its launch of the “A-Z of Awesome’, an ongoing campaign which runs into 2023 using LEGO builds to celebrate inclusivity and embrace self-expression in the LGBTQIA+ community.

The A-Z will be developed in creative LEGO creations to help LGBTQIA+ families use play to have open conversations about their identities. For the alphabet to be created in the most authentic and meaningful way possible, the designs of each letter will be created by members of the LGBTQIA+ community, including LEGO fans, young and old, members of the community and LEGO employees.

Launching during Pride Month, the alphabet aims to build understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community and the different abbreviations used.

‘The A-Z of Awesome’ aims to present the community’s vocabulary more widely through a fun and playful medium. The LEGO Group is inviting submissions including an explanation of what the build means to its creator, which will be featured on a dedicated website www.LEGO.com/AtoZ.

LEGO Explains White Building Instruction Covers

LEGO Marvel I am Groot (76217)

If you’ve read early reviews of the LEGO summer 2022 sets, you may have noticed that the cover of the building instructions are now printed in an unsightly white color scheme. LEGO has released a statement regarding it. The reason behind it is that they have been redesigned for a visually consistent unboxing experience.

The LEGO Group is on a journey to make its packaging more sustainable by 2025. As we are gradually replacing single-use plastic bags with paper-based bags in our boxes, other in-box materials such as the cover of Building Instructions have also been re-designed for a visually consistent unboxing experience.

Fan around the world can participate in quizzes, building activities at LEGO Stores, watch LEGO Con, and build a brand new 90th anniversary set that is still to be revealed. Read a little bit more about the history of LEGO these past 90 years below.

Brick by Brick – building LEGO® love for 90 years

This summer, the LEGO Group is celebrating the creativity of fans and the power of play as the new LEGO® Play Well Study shows play is fundamental to the wellbeing and happiness of the whole family.

Ninety years ago, a Danish carpenter crafted a line of small wooden toys in his Billund, Denmark, workshop. His first collection had a modest 36 items that included cars, airplanes, and yoyos, all carefully crafted to help local children learn about the world.

What Ole Kirk Kristiansen couldn’t have known back in 1932, was that the LEGO Group would become one of the biggest toy companies in the world and inspire millions of children to play each year.

Twenty-six years after Ole made his first wooden toy, his son Godtfred patented the LEGO® brick we know today, with its interlocking tube system offering endless creative building possibilities. Since then, the LEGO brick has been busy. From a few simple bricks in primary colours, the humble brick has formed the basis of over 18,000 LEGO products, received the Hollywood treatment in THE LEGO MOVIE™, helped children learn about robotics
