LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton has revealed that there will be a new set being announced some time this week. Obviously, it’s still Saturday here in the US so it’ll probably be next week. Furthermore, the set will include some white masonry bricks in his latest bricktease post and will be released in October. It has been rumored that the set Matthew is referring to could be LEGO Queer Eye Apartment (10291) based on the hit Netflix series. The white bricks mentioned do match some of the walls in the loft so that gives some credence to the rumor.

The official teaser trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home just dropped and it might be one of the best trailers I’ve seen in a long time. You may have already seen the leaked footage yesterday but we finally get it in high definition and it makes me more hyped for the movie.

There are three LEGO Marvel Spider-Man sets coming in October that are labeled as from No Way Home but only one set will be based on a scene from the movie which is the Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop (76185). The other two sets are inspired from the first two films but there is one set that uses Spider-Man’s new black and gold suit which is the Spider-Man’s Drone Duel (76195). Spider-Man: No Way Home will be out on December 17.

LEGO has launched a new story-style adventure to help families talk about online safety and privacy. Their Build & Talk series helps parents give conversation with kids about online topics and this latest one focuses on online privacy and safe sharing.

The LEGO Group launches new story-style adventure to help families talk about online safety and privacy.

The LEGO Group has expanded its range of tools designed to help families have conversations about digital safety, privacy and wellbeing, after new research found only 1 in 6 parents said their child had confided in them when something bad happened online (1).

The LEGO Group’s ‘Build & Talk’ series helps parents and caregivers have meaningful conversations around challenging yet important online topics with children, aged seven to 11, in a language all children can understand, play. The latest activity pack focuses on two of the biggest concerns for parents when it comes to keeping their children safe online: privacy and safe sharing (2).

In the new story-style adventure, digital explorer and ‘creaturologist’ Ida Switchditonandoff, takes families on a journey through the online world in search of an imaginary LEGO® creature who loves to share. As parents read out the story, children are inspired to have fun building their own ‘Oversharer’ with LEGO bricks. Parents can then use a number of simple talking points to start a conversation with their child about topics such as what makes a good password and how to keep personal data secure.
