A few months ago, LEGO made Bricks & Pieces available again for only a few countries due to the pandemic happening around the world. Some of the countries had the ability to order for a short time before getting taken down again due to unknown reasons.

LEGO has just announced that more countries can now order from Bricks & Pieces again, including those that were removed from the most recent announcement.

A message from LEGO® Customer Service:

Continuing on the successful updates made to LEGO.com/service for United Kingdom / English and Spain / Spanish toward the end of 2019 and opening service for India just a month ago, we’ve finished moving our Customer Service site to the same platform used by the rest of LEGO.com. For the most part, this has been a like-for-like transition of content, although there will be a noticeably differently look and feel.

While Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United States were opened previously for paid parts orders, we’ve also been able to coordinate reopening Bricks and Pieces sales with our warehouse for the following markets:

• Austria
• Belgium
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Hungary
• Ireland
• Italy
• Luxembourg
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Poland
• Portugal
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland

We hope you’ll love the new site as much as we do!

Yesterday, I reported that the LEGO summer 2020 catalog has started to show up in the mail and many people have asked how to get it. Over on LEGO Shop@Home, you can request to be on the mailing list or if you’re environmentally responsible, you can also download them on PDF. Fortunately, the latest one is now available for you to peruse if you don’t have the physical copy.

If you didn’t see yet, there is a page showing some upcoming LEGO Disney sets that are set to be released on June 17. The eagle eyes over at New Elementary have pointed out that the background for Disney is using similar patterns as the other 18+ sets that have been released already so that could mean something.

LEGO has recently released a fairly rare video showing their factory and how they make LEGO minifigures. The video doesn’t show the complete process but it does give you an idea of what goes into creating just one minifigure. It’s a pretty cool video with fun facts thrown in here and there showing just how many they can make in an hour. Here’s to hoping to see more of these kinds of videos in the future.

We all know that LEGO has been helping kids around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic and they have recently announced that they have launched initiatives in India in collaboration with NITI Aayog and Save The Children. This partnership is part of the previous announced $50 million overall commitment to help children and families impacted by COVID-19 around the world.

The LEGO Group Collaborates with Save the Children and NITI Aayog to Support Children Impacted by COVID-19 in India

The LEGO Group, in collaboration with NITI Aayog and Save The Children, has introduced targeted initiatives in India to promote ‘Learning Through Play’ and support home-based learning during these unprecedented times, while strengthening community efforts to respond to COVID 19. The new partnership forms part of the LEGO Group and LEGO Foundation’s overall commitment of US $50 million globally to help children and their families impacted by COVID 19.

The LEGO Group has partnered with Save the Children to promote responsive care-giving and play based learning practices for children aged 3-8 years both at state and national levels. This effort will help in strengthening communities to combat COVID-19 by providing educational kits and play materials for use at home as well as guiding parents and caregivers on hygiene and responsive caregiving. The initiative will also improve access to quality pre-school education through the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and pre-school Centres when they re-open. It will focus on building capacity of pre-school Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs) and ICDS functionaries to support the development and school
