Toys R Us Making Comeback Inside Macy’s Stores

August 19, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

USA Today is reporting that Toys R Us is making another comeback starting next year. The iconic toy store will be teaming up with Macy’s to open smaller toy shops in more than 400 department stores. Customers can start shopping online at Macys.com/toysrus and at Toysrus.com. It seems like both brands are committed to making this work so we’ll see if it actually works out or not.

LEGO Celebrates 89th Birthday

August 10, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today, LEGO celebrates its 89th birthday. On this day way back in 1932, Ole Kirk Christiansen began making his iconic wooden toys. It wasn’t until 1958 when the first brick was patented by his son and the rest is history. If you haven’t seen The LEGO Story below, it’s a great animated video showing LEGO’s history.

I don’t think there’s anything special planned for today but we can surely expect something big for next year when LEGO celebrates nine decades of play. One thing is the 90th anniversary fan vote in which LEGO will be choosing a classic theme to make a set for.

LEGO Looking to Grow in Hiring Push

July 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve ever wanted to work at LEGO, I’ve been told that they are making a huge hiring push for the LEGO Brand Stores as well as at various headquarter locations here in the US. I suppose they are starting to gear up for seasonal positions as things start to ramp up for the holiday season.

If you’ve ever worked retail before, there is a chance for you to be put on as a regular member of the staff and possibly even be promoted to other positions. I’ve known people who have started at retail and ended up working at Enfield which allowed them to travel the world to various LEGO events. I’ve tried to apply years ago but it didn’t work out since it was sort of a conflict of interest with what I got going on here. If you are interested, head on over to the careers page to see what is available.

LEGO Adults Welcome Catalog Hitting Mailboxes

July 24, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you get LEGO catalogs in the mail, you may or may not have received a new Adults Welcome catalog which has been the talk on various forums in recent days. The pages have a more higher quality feel to it and the covers have a matte feeling to them. The catalog basically shows some of the sets that are listed as 18+ with some product details. LEGO has given some insight on it:

It was a test mailed only to select individuals in the US. It was super-targeted, although I don’t know their criteria for selection. Most households were reported to never have made a LEGO purchase before.

Nobody knows what the criteria is to get one but if you did get one, congrats because it looks like there weren’t that many that went out. It’s cool to see that LEGO is branching out to AFOLs using physical media since most mainly rely on information digitally nowadays.
