LEGO Breaks Ground on $1 Billion Vietnam Factory

November 3, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has announced that they have broken ground on the new $1 billion factory in the Binh Duong Province of Vietnam. The factory is designed to be the most sustainable one in their portfolio and will be the sixth in Asia to support growth in the region. What’s interesting is that the factory design is inspired by local children’s LEGO builds.

LEGO Announces Rebuild the World Holiday Campaign with Katy Perry

November 1, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has announced that they are teaming up with Katy Perry for a new Rebuild the World Holiday campaign. The mystery silhouette that we saw a few days ago was a vehicle that kids created using LEGO bricks and was made into a real-life vehicle. It will be used to deliver presents during the holiday season.

In addition, the annual #BuildToGive campaign will be returing this year and LEGO is looking to donate two million sets to children in hospitals, children’s homes, and vulnerable communities. All you have to do is buiding something and share it on social media using the hashtag #BuildToGive before the end of the year.

The LEGO Group hand over the reins of its Holiday campaign to children (and Katy Perry adds a few extra Fireworks!)

Billund, November 1st, 2022 (9AM CET): The LEGO Group has launched its biggest and most playful Holiday campaign to date. This year, the 90-year-old brand turned to some of the most creative minds on the planet, children, to help supercharge its festive celebrations with fun.

The children were handed creative control behind the cameras, building, unbuilding and rebuilding what the Holidays mean to them. Rather than picture-perfect shots of snow, exquisitely set tables full of festive feasts, and crackling open fires, the children chose to design, build and bring to life a playful vehicle to help them deliver presents and bring the community together over the Holiday season.

The film shows children using play to navigate their way and overcome obstacles on their journey to deliver

LEGO Mystery Build Reveal on November 1

October 29, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Instagram, LEGO has posted some mystery reveal coming on November 1st. The silhouette shows some sort of truck looking build and the caption says, “A new holiday icon built by kids. See it come alive November 1st.” We’re not sure if LEGO is just showcasing a custom build or if it’s actually a reveal that we can purchase later on. If it was my guess, I would say the former. We’ll know this coming Tuesday on what this is.

LEGO November 2022 Shopping Guide

October 28, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

November is just around the corner and it looks to be a fairly slow month with the LEGO releases. As of this post, we only know about the LEGO Ideas Table Football (21337) and the LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster (76210) which will be dropping November 1 and 4, respectively. There is a rumor about a LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower (10307) that will be releasing during the Black Friday event but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

As of the the gift with purchases you can get during November, those are still under wraps since LEGO doesn’t promote them anymore until the month is actually here. There are rumors of three promotions throughout the month but two of them are said to be during Black Friday/VIP weekend. One is Gustave Eiffel’s Apartment (40579) which is given with purchases of the Eiffel Tower.

Another GWP during Black Friday/VIP weekend is a Tribute to the LEGO House (40563). It is reported that it is a minimum purchase amount GWP. Lastly, there some sort of Winter set with set number 40564. Details are very minimal on this one.

Of course, we also get Double VIP points as LEGO has been doing that during Black Friday/VIP weekend for many years now. A lot of people usually wait until then to make their purchases in November since there are a few promos that overlap during that time.

LEGO Day at Macy’s and Toys R Us Follow Up

October 23, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Yesterday was LEGO Day at Macy’s and Toys R Us stores and fans who attended was supposed to get the items shown above but it didn’t happen that way for a lot of stores. From the pictures I’ve been sent, some stores did get polybags but I didn’t see any with the Clown (30565) but there were reports of that got the advertised items.

Some stores got five polybags including DUPLO My First Space Rocket (30332), DOTS Adventure Bracelets (41918), Build Your Own Monster or Vehicles – Make It Yours (30564), Parrot (30472), and LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Plantimal Ambush (30460) along with a Series 22 Minifigure blind bag, the LEGO Masters swoop bag, and a Star Wars poster. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some only got the Series 22 minifigure which was a definite waste of time. Sounds like a miscommunication somewhere between LEGO and the stores. I’ve reached out to LEGO to see what happened there.
