If you have a lot of time on your hands, LEGO is doing another survey on how AFOLs spend their leisure time and what kind of hobbies and interests they have. I say only do this survey if you honestly don’t have anything else to do because it does take at least 30 minutes to complete. I won’t blame you if you don’t want to do it but LEGO did ask us to share it out. Head over to the link here to do the survey. It will be ending on March 3. We’ll see what the fuss is all about when the results are shared on the LAN in April.

Update: A few of you mentioned that you are not able to do the survey. Apparently it is only for the US, Germany, and China.

If you have a few extra minutes, LEGO is running a survey to learn more about shoppers at LEGO Brand Stores and LEGO Certified Stores. The insight could help enhance the shopping experience at LEGO Stores by implementing some of the things that were suggested in the survey.

The LEGO® Retail Design team is very excited to hear from adults about their shopping experiences and expectations and how we can make the experience even better! Around the world there are different types of LEGO Stores (LBR and LCS) with the goal of providing an inspiring, interactive, creative and fun experience for kids and adults alike.

Whether you visit a LEGO Store every day or have never even seen one, it is important to know what adults expect and desire from a visit. Your feedback will be considered when designing the future LEGO Store experience.

Working with adult fans of LEGO, the LEGO Retail Design team has created a short survey and with the hope that you can take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Your insights will help to make visiting a LEGO Store a truly memorable event!

Just like a LEGO creation, each person offers a different and unique perspective so, the survey is open to anyone and everyone with the hope that thousands of adults from around the world share their ideas.

The Survey is anonymous and available in both English and Simplified Chinese. Survey closes March 20, 2019.

Even though it’s still early morning, here’s your LEGO feel good story of the day. If you’ve been in the LEGO community on social media the past few years, you may have heard the name Chris McVeigh, aka PowerPig, float around. One of his most popular builds are the Brick Sketches of various characters that have been featured by LEGO before. Yesterday, he has announced that he has been hired on to the LEGO Creator Expert and Architecture teams and will begin work starting in March. This just goes to show that LEGO still continues to take notice of fan creations and you have a chance to get hired on if you work hard enough. I can’t wait to see what Chris has in store for us in the near future.
