July 14, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has shut down its operations in Russia indefinitely and will be laying off 90 employees according to Reuters. This is due to “extensive disruption” in the country which has lead to LEGO ending their contract with Inventive Retail Group who operates 81 LEGO stores.

A LEGO spokesperson stated “LEGO Group has decided to indefinitely cease commercial operations in Russia given the continued extensive disruption in the operating environment.”

Back in March, LEGO stopped shipments to Russia as a repercussion of the sanctions imposed on the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

LEGO has released a statement about the situation as well from the LAN.

The LEGO Group paused shipments to Russia in March. Given the continued extensive disruption in the operating environment, we have decided to indefinitely cease commercial operations in Russia. This includes ending employment for most of our Moscow-based team and our partnership with Inventive Retail Group who owned and operated 81 stores on the brand’s behalf. We have provided 70 employees with financial packages to support them as they look for new opportunities.

LEGO Not Part of San Diego Comic Con 2022 Exclusives Portal

July 13, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like the Exclusives Portal for San Diego Comic Con is finalized which means that LEGO will not be part of it. Comic Con International has been emailing people telling them that no more items are expected to be added to the list. If you don’t know what this is, you allocate points given to you to enter lotteries to have a chance to get a certain company’s exclusive items. However, it doesn’t mean that LEGO won’t have exclusives as they can still do their own thing either at their booth (#2829) or in the Sails Pavilion. It’s been highly unusual that no exclusives for LEGO has been announced since SDCC is literally one week away. We shall see in the upcoming days if they announce anything at all.

CCI is telling folks that e-mail them that no more items will be added to the #SDCC portal.
