From now until the end of November, you can donate or buy a creation to raise money to give Lego to underprivileged children across the world. We look forward to another successful fundraiser and continuing the Lego fan community’s annual tradition of giving back during the holidays!

A few months ago, a source told me that the next series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be changing and there’s some more fire to that rumor. Starting in Jaunary with Series 21 (71029), the number of minifigures included in the set is rumored to be dropping down to only 12 and it looks like StoneWars has also gotten wind of it as well. I’m not sure why the decrease of minifigs for the set but they’ll be somewhat easier to collect.

StoneWars also is reporting that LEGO will be offering full boxes of 36 minifigures as well as 72 minifigures. If you notice the numbers, these new boxes will hold three and six complete sets, respectively. The pricing will stay the same at $4.99 each.

What do you guys think of this change? Is it better that we’re getting less minifigures and not paying as much to get a complete set? As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

Last week, Forbes released their list for the Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers of 2020 and The LEGO Group’s Julia Goldin was named 6th highest in the world. For 2020, there were 427 CMOs that were considered and to be eligible, the person or their brand must have appeared on at least one major brand list. To enter to the top 50, “a CMO must be in the top 20% of CMOs on at least three different indicators of personal, industry or internal influence, or show extraordinary impact visibility on the conversation around Covid-19 or Black Lives Matter.”

Goldin and her team launched #letsbuildtogether to create a sense of connection among children isolated by the pandemic lockdown and support their parents. She also announced the company’s $50 million donation to children’s charities, which included additional support for long-time charitable partners who faced additional community needs due to the Covid-19 crisis.

It was announced a few days ago that the New York Toy Fair for 2021 has been pushed back to May. It was supposed to be in February but due to uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Toy Association thought it was best to delay the event for a few more months.

New York Toy Fair is usually the time when we see some of the new LEGO sets for the upcoming summer. LEGO changed that last year as we didn’t really see much new products but only for a select few. With everything that’s been going on, I have a feeling that LEGO will do something similar and possibly doing their own reveals due to the shifted timeline.
