• New factory to create more than 1,760 jobs.

• Onsite solar park will produce enough energy to 100 percent match the factory’s requirements.

• Seventh factory will expand the LEGO Group’s global manufacturing network, shorten supply chain and support long-term growth in Americas.

Richmond, VA, USA, June 15, 2022: The LEGO Group today announced plans to invest more than US$1 billion to build a new factory in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Once completed, the 1.7 million square foot (160,000m2 ) facility will employ more than 1,760 people.

LEGO Con 2022 Scheduled Events Revealed

June 13, 2022 /

LEGO’s Instagram account a few hours ago looks to have announced all the events and panels that will be happening for this week’s LEGO Con 2022. It will be two hours long starting at 9am PT/12 pm ET and there will be new theme and set reveals which includes the LEGO Avatar: The Way of Water and the rumored Marvel Doctor Strange Sanctum Sanctorum (76218). It also shows that LEGO Ninjago is “getting ready for a grand finale.” This does sound kind of ominous because it could be the end of the LEGO Ninjago theme as we know it. There’s been talk on social media that the theme could be getting a reboot but we’ll see what happens with that.

June 6, 2022 /

After it was announced that the Season 3 premiere of LEGO Masters was delayed, Fox has revealed the new air date for September 21. This is almost four months from the original date of May 31. Yesterday, we got a sneak peek episode which was a only 30 minutes long which featured the Jurassic World Dominion dinosaur builds. After watching it and learning about the contestants a little bit, there are a few standout teams that could go all the way. I won’t say who I’m choosing but they’re known builders in the LEGO community.

LEGO Masters Jurassic World Dominion Sneak Peek Airing Tonight

Tonight Fox will be airing a special preview of the LEGO Masters Jurassic World Dominion episode. I’m not sure how or where the episode will fit in during the whole competition since the season was pushed back with no exact date so there might be some spoilers if teams have already been eliminated unless it’s just full of short clips. The sneak peek will be at 8:30/7:30c.

LEGO Announces Price Increase Starting in August

June 2, 2022 /

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.

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

LEGO has released another teaser for LEGO Con 2022 and this time, it is for something big and out of this world. The video also shows a brand new theme that will be launching this year. All signs are pointing towards LEGO Avatar: The Way of Water as the official Avatar Twitter account already teased it a few weeks ago but LEGO has never posted about it until now.
