LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored Price Increase in 2020

October 7, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

In 2020, we’ll be getting a few series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures and it looks like we’ll be paying a little bit more for them. For about five years now, the LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been priced at $3.99 each but it looks like it will jump up a dollar next year. This comes from an email that I got a few weeks back and it looks to be confirmed by another source.

I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the rumored price increase but I’m sure fans will not be too pleased about it if is true, however, there are some cool new things that are rumored for 2020 which I’ll talk about later on which could be a reasoning of why we’ll be paying more for them. Of course, treat this as a rumor but considering two different sources have said it, I would say it may be true.

The LEGO Group Ranks First for Global Corporate Responsibility

September 23, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Reputation Institute has released their rankings for global corporate responsibility and The LEGO Group has been rank first on the list. It was stated in the press release that LEGO was rated the highest when it came to being fair in business, ethical, and being open and transparent. More than half of consumers said they would buy LEGO products which is 13.7% higher than the RepTrak 100 average. This ranking is on top of their second place finish on the 2019 Global RepTrak 100 for being the most highly regarded company in the world.

Global study puts the LEGO Group in first place on Corporate Responsibility

The study, conducted by Reputation Institute, a global technology-driven provider of reputation measurement and management services, calibrated the perceptions of more than 140 companies on the merits of CR. CR RepTrak measures perceptions of Citizenship, Governance and Workplace, and provides a means of assessing a company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials. The study is based on more than 230,000 individual ratings from the informed general public across 15 leading economies.

“The LEGO Group is a great example of a company that is committed to delivering on corporate responsibility and realizing strong business results by doing the right thing,” said Kasper Nielsen, Chief Strategy Officer at Reputation Institute. “The core strength in corporate responsibility translates into 57% of consumers saying they would definitely buy The LEGO Group’s products — which is a net 13.7 percentage points higher than the CR RepTrak 100 average.”

September 17, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO released a mysterious trailer for something coming soon and today they have announced Rebuild The World. It is essentially a campaign to help nurture the creative skills of the next generation.

THE LEGO GROUP WITH MARK RONSON INSPIRE KIDS TO REBUILD THE WORLD
[Billund, 17 September 2019]: Today, the LEGO Group and musician Mark Ronson launch Rebuild The World, a campaign to help nurture the creative skills of the next generation.
Over 100 children will meet Mark and other inspiring figures, such as 19-year-old David Aguilar, who built several prosthetic arms from LEGO® elements, at the LEGO House, Billund, to explore the infinite potential of creativity. Their imaginations will also be fired up in a series of workshops, where they’ll be challenged to rebuild the world they see around them.

“My whole career has been about working with brilliant, creative people and seeing where our imaginations take us. Rebuild The World, is a wonderful opportunity to help inspire the next generation of creators who will come up with their own ideas to shape the future of everything from the way we live to the music we listen to,” explains Mark Ronson.

The LEGO Group believes that every child is born with incredible creative problem-solving capabilities, but we need to act now to nurture that creativity so that it can become a lifelong skill, as the future depends on it.

Inspiring creativity is more critical and urgent than ever. The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report places creative problem solving in

Mysterious LEGO Teaser Released for Something Coming Soon

September 15, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a new teaser for something coming soon that is very unusual, even for them. In the clip, we see some people holding some large items that are upscaled version of LEGO accessories like a bow and arrow, mug, camera, wrench, and flowers. At the end, we see people looking up at the sky at something yellow flying by. Honestly I have no idea what the heck is going on but it’s for something coming out soon. If it’s not adult sized LEGO accessories, I’ll be disappointed.

LEGO DC Collectible Minifigures Rumored for 2020?

September 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here’s a new juicy 2020 LEGO rumor that could be the start of something special further down the line. As we know by now, LEGO has done some licensed Collectible Minifigures series including Harry Potter and a couple waves of The Simpsons, The LEGO Batman Movie, and Disney and it looks like a new licensed theme could be joining the fray next year. According to Brick Fanatics, we could be getting a LEGO DC Collectible Minifigures series at the beginning of the year. Obviously there are tons of characters to choose from but we’ll probably also see the usual cast of DC originals like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in new variant outfits.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this rumor but BF has some good sources so I’m going to roll with it, however, treat this as a rumor until LEGO teases something or they announce it on social media. If LEGO does release a DC series, could we also see a Marvel Collectible Minifigures series as well? Thanks to Shrek for the heads up even though it probably isn’t your real name.

*Note* – The above image is from The LEGO Batman Movie Series 2.
