Design Your Own LEGO City Set Unboxing

A few weeks ago, we reported that LEGO was testing a new service that allows you to design your own LEGO City set. A reader named Andreas was able to purchase one and he has sent over images of the unboxing experience.

As you can see from the images, the box shows the set you’ve created on the front along with your name on the bottom right corner. The back and side shows the vehicles, building, minifigure, and animals that you can choose from to add in your custom set.

The builds are separated into individual bags along with the building instructions. There’s also a sticker sheet which looks to have all of the stickers for all the different builds.

Overall, the line has extremely great potential and will be a great idea for gift giving. The recipient will most likely be overjoyed seeing their name on the box along with getting the builds. Obviously, LEGO has to update the builds to keep it fresh and would work good with their other themes as well however it probably won’t work with licensed ones. The pilot program is now over and LEGO is gathering details on how it will work in the future. Hopefully the feedback is good and will roll out worldwide.

Unfortunately, the pilot project has been completed and we are now in the process of analyzing the feedback we have received. At present, we are unfortunately unable to confirm the project’s future plans, and our primary focus is to test the concept and gather

LEGO Masters Officially Renewed for Season 2 on Fox

For those who are fans of LEGO Masters, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the show has been officially renewed for a second season on Fox. Casting for the new season has already started and you can still apply if you like. The production of the show is planned for spring 2021 and will be airing later in the year. Will Arnett will still be the host and executive producer while judges Jamie Berard and Amy Corbett are set to return as well. The winners of Season 1 were Tyler and Amy.

On a side note, I was asked by one of the casting associates to be on the show but I had to politely decline because I’m not in a position to take an extended period of time off.

Light Brick Studio Branches Out from LEGO Ventures

LEGO has been investing in a lot of gaming lately and it bodes well for the community. Last week, they announced that they are working with Unity for a new LEGO Microgame which you can create your own game using virtual bricks. Yesterday, VentureBeat reported that a game development studio called Light Brick Studio is now a independent company and is also supported by LEGO Ventures.

Light Brick Studio previously created Builder’s Journey for Apple Arcade and was released back in December 2019. The studio is now free to create to create games for LEGO as well as for any external partners they choose. This gives Light Brick Studio a lot leeway on what they are able to work on. I’m interested in seeing what will come of this and if they will expand beyond Apple Arcade since not many people are on it.
