Okay a lot of you guys have emailed me asking me to post about this piece of news that came out yesterday. In 2022, LEGOLAND Florida and Peppa Pig will be somewhat coinciding with each other. Merlin Entertainments, which is owned by The LEGO Group, is working with Hasbro to create a standalone Peppa Pig theme park inside of LEGOLAND Florida.

As we all know, LEGO and Hasbro are competitors, especially in the building block world with Hasbro producing their MEGA lines. We most likely won’t see any LEGO Peppa Pig sets any time soon or at all. Could this partnership open up to the companies sharing their licenses with each other?

LEGO will be testing out a new thing for the Pick-a-Brick service in the UK in which they will have a minimum purchase amount. This minimum order will align with the price of a large Pick-a-Brick cup in LEGO Stores in the UK which is valued at £11.99. The test will run until there is an appropriate sample size of generated orders. This test could also be rolled out in other countries in the near future.

Starting February 23rd LEGO.com will be running a test in the UK to help us get more info about having a minimum purchase amount for Pick A Brick orders. The minimum order value will be aligned with the price of large Pick A Brick cups in LEGO Stores (£11.99). The test is going to be visible to all shoppers in the UK.

There are currently two different element purchase options on LEGO.com, Pick A Brick and Bricks and Pieces. While these might appear similar the infrastructure behind each of these services is very different. From packing to shipping, Bricks and Pieces infrastructure is designed to assist with small orders to help the end user complete a project or replace lost elements. Pick A Bricks infrastructure is quite the opposite as it was designed to fulfil large bulk orders. The one thing that was not within the structure of Pick-A-Brick was the online experience allowing small orders.

Small orders impact the internal processes, and this provides the opportunity to test a minimum order value. This can also help align the Pick

At the beginning of the month, LEGO launched a new playlist on Spotify called LEGO White Noise which is pretty much an ASMR playlist of LEGO bricks to help builders relax. They have just shared a new video of a behind the scenes look at how the sounds on the tracks were made. An interesting note they made is that they used over 10,000 LEGO bricks using different combinations of actions, surface textures, and recording techniques to finalize the tracks. If you haven’t listened to it yet, there are seven tracks available for your listening pleasure.

Last month, LEGO announced a partnership with fashion company HYPE for a new line of streetwear that is inspired by LEGO Ninjago. The collection has been available in the UK and other parts of the world for a while now but North America has been left out in the cold.

I reached out to LEGO Customer Service to see if the collection will be coming to the US and it doesn’t look like that will be happening any time soon. I’ve been told from LEGO CS, “At this time, we are not offering the Ninjago x HYPE™ products in the US.” They didn’t say anything further than that. It’s a bummer that we won’t be getting it since it was a pretty hyped announcement and people were excited for it and there’s no word on when it will be released here, if ever.
