LEGO Pick a Brick Standard Service Paused

If you’ve been on LEGO Pick a Brick the past week or so, you may have been disappointed to see that they have paused Standard Service for North America. First noticed by New Elementary, there are thousands of elements that cannot be purchased anymore except for the Bestsellers and LEGO has put up a banner notice. As of this post there are only 1,535 elements available for purchase with 1,455 of them in the Bestsellers list. LEGO’s Standard Service ships out of Billund, Denmark while the Bestsellers are shipped from Illinois.

There’s no official statement on why LEGO paused Standard Service but we can assume it is the result of the removal of the De Minimis exemption which started yesterday. The exception before allowed packages worth less than $800 to enter the US without paying customs on it. With the exemption removed, there are now country specifc tariffs in effect even though a federal appeals court struck down many of Trump’s tariffs. The implementation of the court’s order has been delayed until October.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens especially with the holiday season rolling around. I guess BrickLink will see a little uptick of orders but international sellers may also be impacted because other countries also have suspended or restricted shipments to the US.

LEGO Partners with Aardman Animations for Boop Animated Short

LEGO has partnered up with Aardman Animations to create a new animated short called Boop. Aardman are the creators of Wallace & Gromit and there is a 1 minute short to encourage creative storytelling using stop motion. There are also 5 mini stop motion challenge films including Build Your Own Boop to be released monthly on the LEGO Play App.

THE LEGO GROUP AND AARDMAN PARTNER TO INSPIRE CREATIVITY IN YOUNG BUILDERS THROUGH STOP MOTION

Today, the LEGO Group and multi-award-winning Aardman Animations, stop motion masters and creators of the Wallace & Gromit franchise, have announced a new partnership, to help inspire young builders and encourage creative storytelling using stop motion inspired by the LEGO® brick.

Both brands are committed to inspiring kids through creativity and play and are teaming up to set young builders a creative challenge using the LEGO Play app, where kids can use the animation tool within the app to share their own animated stories with a chance to see their ideas featured in an amazing Aardman story.

An animated short to announce the challenge sees Aardman bringing their unique style of storytelling to inspire kids to use stop motion, as an alien called ‘Boop’ (made from Aardman’s iconic clay) finds themself transported to a world of LEGO bricks.

In that world, Boop meets LEGO minifigures who they befriend, but where their story goes is something the LEGO Group and Aardman are inviting young creatives to decide by asking them to help finish the story.

The animated short can be seen here:
