The LEGO Inside Tour is a 2 1/2 day event that includes two overnight stays at the LEGOLAND Hotel with breakfast and an entry ticket to LEGOLAND. The tour itself will give a unique look at LEGO which consists of a factory tour to see how LEGO bricks are made. There are also stops at the LEGO staff shop which has some exclusive sets that you can purchase. At the end of the tour, you’ll get a very exclusive LEGO set that is produced in cooperation with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen.

Note that travel is not included so you’ll have to arrange that yourself. The LEGO Inside Tour will cost 14,500 DKK which is around $2,200 per person. It is pretty pricey but everyone I’ve talked to that went to one has said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you should try to go on.

After two years of cancelled/postponed LEGO Inside Tours, it’s finally time again for LEGO fans to sign up for LEGO Inside Tours.

Target and the LEGO Group Expand Partnership with Limited-Edition Lifestyle Collection, Just in Time for the Holidays

With most items under $30, the collection is Target’s most inclusive partnership to-date and features toys, gifts, apparel and more for the entire family, inspiring fans of all ages to build new memories together this holiday season and beyond

Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) today announced its limited-edition collection with the LEGO Group, featuring a lifestyle assortment that goes well beyond the company’s iconic brick, with joyful, colorful items across home goods, pets, toys and gifts, as well as apparel and accessories for the entire family. Building on Target’s long-standing partnership with the LEGO Group and reflecting the companies’ shared values of inclusivity, optimism and joy, the curated collection of everyday and creatively unexpected items offers something for everyone, just in time for the holidays.

Last year, more than 80% of families who purchased a LEGO® set spent more time building together than any other leisure activity. Now, Target and the LEGO Group are working hand in hand to reimagine the brand’s iconic colorful bricks into a myriad of items that give

Yesterday was the United Nations International Day of the Girl and LEGO has announced that they are committed to making LEGO play more inclusive and ensuring that children’s creative ambitions are not limited by gender stereotypes. This also marks the launch of a new LEGO campaign called Ready for Girls which celebrates girls who rebuild the world through creative problem solving. There have been articles put yesterday that are misconstruing what the campaign is about and say that this is the end of the LEGO Friends line. LEGO has released a statement about that on the Ambassador Network.

LEGO Friends isn’t going anywhere. Next year’s LEGO Friends portfolio will have the most male figures we have had in our assortment to date. As well as gender, we are also increasing the variety in our LEGO Friends characters with more older and younger characters (including the microdoll).

We are also looking into representation for our Minifigures. Currently we have a larger proportion of male minifigures across the portfolio, but we remain committed to increase the number of female characters as we’re fully aware of how important it is to ensure children are able to reflect themselves in the toys they play with.

The LEGO Friends line celebrates their 10th year anniversary next year which is one of the few original IPs in LEGO’s evergreen portfolio. I’m sure LEGO will be doing something to celebrate that while keeping with their promise of making LEGO play more inclusive.

Girls are ready to overcome gender norms but society continues to

In more LEGO sustainability news, LEGO has announced that baseplates will also be changing their plastic packaging to paper packaging. The baseplates themselves will be the same colors but they will have new product numbers. The baseplates with the new paper packaging will be in available around March 2022.

Over the next few months you will likely see some products with “retiring soon” branding or perhaps a local retailer reporting that they are no longer able to order certain products. We want to share ahead of time that there is no need to be alarmed about baseplates.

In 2022, baseplates will be changing from their current plastic packaging to more sustainable paper packaging. Besides packaging, there are no additional changes with the LEGO baseplates and you will still be able to get the same colors and sizes in 2022 that you can purchase today. You can expect to see the new packaging around March 1, 2022.

A year ago, LEGO announced that they were investing up $400 million to accelerate their sustainability efforts, one of which was phasing out plastic bags. According to today’s 1HY 2021 Financial Results, LEGO has revealed that after a now completed successful trial of paper bags, they will start rolling it out in early 2022 with all packaging still on track for 100% sustainability by 2025. As part of the trials for parents and children, they found that the paper bags were environmentally friendly and were easy to open and this is part of enhancing the building experience.
