The LEGO Group CEO Talks Trump Tariffs

March 12, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

During yesterday’s financial reporting, The LEGO Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen also talked about the looming tariffs that the United States is putting on countries. Talking to Yahoo Finance, Christiansen said that if there are tariffs for Mexico, it would impact the company but it won’t be their biggest issue but would react for the long-term perspective and not to destroy the momentum they currently have.

As far as raising prices for LEGO sets here in the US, it would depend if the tariffs are permanent or temporary and they would react for the long-term and it’s hard to say at this moment in time. Currently LEGO has a factory in Mexico which supplies the products for North America and Christiansen mentioned that it wouldn’t be closing it even though there’s a Virginia plant slated to be open in 2027.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship (31109) Deal – March 2025

March 12, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon has recently in the past month discounted the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Pirate Ship (31109) again which saves you 20% on the set. This drops the price of it down to $95.99 and that saves you a modest $24. The Pirate Ship is still one of the better Creator sets and is still hanging around for 4.5 years after being released in summer 2020. I’m guessing it’ll be retiring some time this year as it has lasted way longer than expected.

LEGO has announced a new concept for LEGO Ideas called the Parking Lot. It is for LEGO Ideas projects that need additional time in review for whatever reason. These project will be put in the Parking Lot until a final decision can be made.

It is stated that it’ll be most useful for strong projects that is affected by certain aspects like timing and it could mean that it doesn’t get approved. We’ve seen it happen many times before and the creator would have to resubmit the idea and hit the 10k goal again. Now LEGO will just park these submissions to see if they can make it into an official set at a later time.

There will only be a limited number of projects in the Parking Lot at any time with and they’ll make a decision within a maximum of three review periods.
