We all know that LEGO takes care of their employees very well and if you want to work for them, there are some new benefits that they have announced for all employees. One of the main things they are doing is that all LEGO employees will have 26 weeks paid childcare leave for new parents. There is also caregiver leave if you need to take off some time to look after family. LEGO is also offering life and total permanent disability insurance to everyone whether you work at the headquarters of at a LEGO Brand Store. All of this is part of their 2022 sustainability initiatives to improve life at work. If you are interested in working for LEGO, you can check the jobs page to see if there is anything that interests you.

By the end of 2022, all LEGO employees will have 26 weeks paid childcare leave for primary caregivers! ❤️ And there’s more…#OurLEGOFamily #FamilyFriendlyWorkplace pic.twitter.com/pLU8v7kCUz

Yesterday, LEGO released some new LEGO DOTS patterns for Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. People started speculating if LEGO would be doing more with the Animal Crossing franchise and LEGO has released a statement about it. In short, no, LEGO won’t be doing anything much more than that with ACNH at this time. Keep in mind, there is a LEGO Ideas project that is in review and there’s a chance that it could be an official set in the future. Fingers crossed. Check out LEGO’s statement below.

Hi everyone –

You might have seen yesterday that we announced we were adding new LEGO DOTs patterns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I’ve been asked by our PR team to clarify that this isn’t a partnership or a collaboration with Nintendo – but rather LEGO DOTS tapping into ACNH, as other brands have done. We haven’t directly worked with Nintendo on this (I know it’s confusing).

We are working with Nintendo for LEGO Super Mario of course, but not for ACNH.

Hope that makes sense!

LEGO Lab is testing a new service over in Denmark that lets you design your own LEGO City set. Here you can choose from a selection of minifigures, vehicles, buildings, and animals to put in the set. When you’re done with the selections, you can checkout normally on the LEGO Shop and LEGO will ship it out to you. The price is fixed at 649 kr. It looks like you’ll get a customized box with what you’ve chosen as well as your name on the bottom right corner.

I’m not sure if or when LEGO will roll it out to other countries but it seems like a cool idea to make your own set albeit with limited options. Hopefully they’ll get enough feedback to allow more options in the future.

To use LEGO Lab, you have to be in Denmark or VPN to it. The images below are from Brickset since I don’t use any VPNs.

LEGO has announced that they have partnered up with Unity for a new LEGO Microgame. LEGO Games is celebrating their 25th anniversary and they have teamed up with Unity which is the world’s leading 3D content development platform to bring you a new game that you can create using virtual bricks. You will also be able to import your creations that are built in BrickLink Studio to the game as well. No prior coding experience is needed as it takes you through the steps of creating your game and sharing it in less than 45 minutes. Check out the press release of LEGO Microgame below.

If there’s one thing that LEGO Games and the world’s leading 3D content development platform, Unity, can agree on, it’s that creativity comes in all forms – whether it’s bringing your creation to life with LEGO® bricks or adding lines of code to develop a video game. Game development can be intimidating for some, but Unity helps lower this obstacle with its series of Microgames – guided experiences designed to get new users working in the Unity Editor quickly and easily.

On October 26, Unity will release its first-ever Microgame created with LEGO Games. For some, the thought of taking your first steps into the world of video game creation can be overwhelming, but with the new LEGO Microgame, fans can use the familiar LEGO System in Play to help them construct their first game experience.

There are a number of different products ranging from shoes to shirts and pants to onesies. They also come in a variety of colors as well to match up with whatever style the kids want. Head on over to the link above to browse the collection. There’s no word yet on when it will arrive here in the US but it’ll be coming as soon as December 2020.
