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.

Kathrine Kirk Muff, VP of Social Responsibility at the LEGO Group, said: 

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.

For those who are in Copenhagen next week, LEGO Design Lead Matthew Ashton will be doing a signing event for the Everyone is Awesome (40516) set. Matthew will be at the Copenhagen LEGO Store on August 20 from 6:00-9:30pm but you’ll have to get a wristband when the store opens at 10am on a first come, first served basis. A time slot between 6-9:30pm will be given so get there early for an earlier slot. You can read more about the terms and conditions here.

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.

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.
