ToySphere Launches New Way to Shop for LEGO

There’s a new service that has recently launched that is a new way to explore and shop for LEGO called ToySphere. What it basically does is that it takes all the LEGO themes and puts theme into “spheres” to give you a visual way to see all of the sets that have been released in a particular theme from the last decade. By zooming in on a certain item, you can either check out the description or purchase it off the LEGO Shop or on the secondary market if it’s retired.

Since ToySphere just went live, there are only a few spheres/themes available at the moment but will be continuously updated in the near future. Since we process visual data better, ToySphere has done a good job in putting all the sets in certain categories within the theme.

Sphere are excited to announce the launch of LEGO ToySphere, a completely unique and immersive format, reimagining shopping for LEGO and allowing fans to view the last decade of LEGO like never before.

Lifelong LEGO fans Olly Treadway and Warren Minde have come together to build ToySphere – bringing the excitement, playfulness and immersion of a trip to a real LEGO store online. Pouring time and passion into building this awesome new way to explore and shop LEGO, the team have spent the past six years on this epic fan project.

Combining Olly’s tech wizardry and passion for LEGO, with Warren’s years of experience consulting to the LEGO leadership at their HQ in Billund, Denmark, this is

LEGO Super Mario Toad’s Special Hideaway (77907) Revealed

A few months ago, I reported that there was a LEGO Super Mario Toad’s Special Hideaway (77907) set that was supposed to be sold as San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, SDCC didn’t happen and we were left wondering what would happen to the set and it looks like there’s some info about it.

According to jamiebricks on Instagram and Cool.lego_pics, the set is being sold at a LEGOLAND Discovery Center for $19.99. The set has 120 pieces and is a cheaper way to get the Toad minifigure which was previous exclusive to the Toad’s Treasure Hunt Expansion Set (71368). There’s no word on where it will be available but I assume it’ll go up on LEGO Shop@Home at a later date along with the other SDCC 2020 exclusive sets.

LEGO Announces New Partnerships to Support Racial Equality

Last week, LEGO announced that they are entering some new partnerships that support racial equality. They will be donating to four organizations that are dedicated to supporting Black children and educating all children about racial inequality. You can read more about these organizations below.

In June 2020, the LEGO Group made a commitment to stand together with the Black community against racism and inequality and that we would donate to organizations dedicated to supporting Black children and educating all children about racial inequality.

Today, we are proud to introduce our newest partners:

EmbraceRace provides resources and community to parents, educators, and other adult caregivers who want to model and support critical race thinking and inclusive behavior for the children in their lives.
