LEGO April Fool’s Day 2020 Roundup

April 2, 2020 /

As you may have known, yesterday was April Fool’s Day and we continued the tradition of putting out light-hearted jokes on the LEGO community with the LEGO Star Wars Statues. Some of you may have picked it up early when you saw there was an Admiral Ackbar statue for some reason.

Other LEGO fan media sites also joined in the fun but it was a bit more subdue this year because of what’s happening around the world. Below are some of the other LEGO April Fool’s jokes for this year.

LEGOLAND New York Grand Opening Delayed Until 2021

March 31, 2020 /

It has been announced that the grand opening of LEGOLAND New York this summer has been delayed until 2021. Obviously with the coronavirus situation still not anywhere close to being contained, it’s clear that it would be a bad time to open up an amusement park with hundreds of thousands of people in a single place. LEGOLAND New York was slated to be open on July 4 in Goshen, New York.

In adherence to the evolving restrictions and guidance of the CDC and state and local governments in response to the coronavirus pandemic, we are delaying the opening of LEGOLAND® New York Resort until 2021.

This move is consistent with the closure of venues and postponement of events worldwide. In this unprecedented and challenging time, nothing is more important to us than the health, safety and security of our guests.

If you have purchased an annual pass or single-day ticket, we will honor it when we open in 2021. Please click one of the links below for further information, and email any questions to [email protected]. Due to high volume, replies may be delayed, and we appreciate your patience.

We will continue to monitor the situation in close communication with state and local authorities. Further updates will be provided here on our website, via email, and on our social media pages.

We are grateful for your support and we can’t wait to build unforgettable memories with you and your family in 2021.

LEGO Launches New Initiatives to Support Children and Families Impacted by COVID-19

March 30, 2020 /

With the COVID-19 situation still not slowing down any time soon, LEGO has announced two new initiatives that will hopefully help children and families around the world. First they are donating $50 million to support children most in need and ensure they continue to have access to learning through play which helps develop life-long skills. Next they have launched the Let’s Build Together campaign to come up with new ways to provide fun, play-based learning ideas to children and parents. It may not seem like much but anything helps during this time.

With many families staying at home and millions more facing job, food, and medical insecurity, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group have joined forces to address the critical needs of children in these unprecedented times.

We have created two important initiatives to aid all children – from the most vulnerable in refugee camps and war-torn countries to those waiting out a community quarantine.

The first initiative is a US$50 million donation by the LEGO Foundation to support children most in need and ensure they continue to have access to learning through play which helps develop life-long skills. The donation will be split between three groups of partners. They are: Education Cannot Wait, which provides education for children caught in emergencies and protracted crises; a selection of existing LEGO Foundation partners whose work with children and families is under additional pressure from COVID-19; and charity partners serving communities where the LEGO Group has a significant presence. Our aim is to urgently reach crisis-affected children

BrickJournal Magazines Still Available Through TwoMorrows

March 28, 2020 /

Many businesses have been impacted during the Coronavirus pandemic including countless small businesses. Some of these businesses now rely on online sales to try and stay afloat during this time. BrickJournal’s main distributer, Diamond Comic Distributors, have shut down their services so physical copies of the magazine won’t be delivered any time soon. BrickJournal also has another avenue to ship which is from TwoMorrows. They currently have plenty of stock of the March 2020 issue as well as back issues and there’s also digital editions included as well. If you want some good LEGO reading material, why not help out both Joe Meno’s magazine as well as TwoMorrows.

LEGO Brand Stores Extend Closure Until April 12

March 28, 2020 /

Last week, I reported that LEGO made the decision to close all LEGO Brand Stores around the world and yesterday LEGO gave an update on the situation. To protect everyone, they have announced that the LEGO Stores will remain closed until April 12 and possibly longer depending on local government guidance. This means the April set releases including the LEGO Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay (21322) will be an exclusive online item until stores open up again. Delivery times may be impacted slightly during this time.

To continue to protect the health of our communities, the LEGO® Brand Retail stores we own and operate will remain temporarily closed until at least April 12, possibly longer depending on government guidance. In locations where government restrictions aren’t currently in place, selected LEGO stores owned and operated by our partners will remain open. Those stores are taking all the necessary precautions and monitoring the situation closely.

Will Arnett Hints at LEGO Masters Season 2

March 26, 2020 /

If you watched the last episode of LEGO Masters, there was a hint at something that may be happening later this year or next year. Before the judging, Mark & Boone decided to use their Golden Brick because it was the last time they were going to be able to use it.

When Will receives the brick, he makes a statement that some of you may have caught. He said to the brick, “As far as you are concerned, I see you again next season.” This may suggest that will see another season of LEGO Masters next year. Of course this was filmed last year before the pandemic so we’ll see if anything changes in terms of casting and filming later this year.

What do you guys think? Are you excited to see another season of LEGO Masters here in the US and will you be signing up for it?
