LEGO Build-a-Minifigure Tower Temporarily Unavailable

March 15, 2020 /

It looks like the Coronavirus situation has been affecting things more and more by each day and the latest one is at LEGO Stores here in the US. As you can see from the image above, the LEGO Build-a-Minifigure tower has been cleared out completely. This was at the Las Vegas location but I think all locations across the world will be doing the same thing soon.

If you saw some of my previous posts, LEGO has been doing a lot to help with the situation. First they have temporarily closed the LEGO House for few weeks, possibly longer, and they have also turned off Bricks & Pieces for ordering to keep workers who pick the parts safe. LEGO has also instructed some employees to work from home as well. In the LEGO fan community, many events have been cancelled or moved to a different date so far.

Thanks to Barry for the heads up.

LEGO Bricks & Pieces Shut Down Due to Coronavirus

March 14, 2020 /

The Coronavirus pandemic has been causing a lot of short time issues around the world and the latest one is with LEGO Bricks & Pieces. A few days ago Danish authorities announced the closure of Denmark and that pretty much affected most of LEGO’s operations. With Bricks & Pieces, it affects the number of people who are picking the parts for the orders. To keep the workers safe, LEGO has decided to shut it down temporarily but everything else on LEGO Shop@Home is still normal. There’s no word on when it will be back up but I assume it’ll just go back up without any announcements so keep checking on it.

Due to COVID-19 we’ve had to introduce special measures at all our sites to reduce the risk of infection, including reducing the number of people who can work together at any one time to pick bricks for Bricks & Pieces. Buying bricks therefore isn’t available at the moment. This only applies to Bricks & Pieces – everything else is business as usual. We’ll have the service back up and running as soon as possible.

LEGO House From AFOL to LEGO Designer Event Postponed Until 2021

March 9, 2020 /

Last year, I reported that the LEGO House will be holding an event called From AFOL to LEGO Designer which was supposed to be happening this Friday. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, LEGO has announced through the LEGO Ambassador Network that the event will be postponed to 2021. Fans who have already booked their trip will unfortunately be stuck with a sticky situation.

The fan event was intended for fans to meet and greet three LEGO designers Mark John Stafford, Justin Ramsden, and Marcos Bessa. We’ll update with more information as soon as there are more details for the 2021 event.

The decision was not taken light hearted but was necessary due to the Corona Virus situation and the to this connected internal LEGO Group guidelines.

We will postpone this fan evening to 2021.

The LEGO Group 2019 Annual Report Results

March 4, 2020 /

LEGO has announced that they had a great year in 2019 and consumer sales, revenue, and profit grew. Consumer sales grew 5.6% last year compared to 2018. Their revenue grew 6% to DKK 38.5 billion. Their net profit increased 3% even though the company made investments in long-term growth initiatives.

The top selling themes in no particular order for 2019 were LEGO City, LEGO Creator, LEGO Friends, LEGO Technic, LEGO Classic, and LEGO Star Wars. In addition, the LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and LEGO Disney Princess themes also did very well. The LEGO Ideas Friends Central Perk (21319) became the fastest selling set ever.

Last year, LEGO launched its first integrated global brand advertising campaign in more than 30 years called Rebuild the World and that attracted new consumers along with their acquisition of BrickLink.

The company opened 150 new branded stores and it now has 570 stores around the world with another 150 more planned for 2020 with a majority of it in mainland China.

Lastly, LEGO announced some changes in the chairmanship of LEGO A/S. Thomas Kirk Kristiansen will assume the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors, Søren Thorup Sørensen, CEO of KIRKBI A/S, will become Vice Chairman. Jørgen Vig Knudstorp will remain a member of the Board.
