LEGO Pausing Social Media Paid Advertising

LEGO has released a statement regarding paid advertising on social media platforms. They did not outright state that is is in response to supporting the Facebook boycott from large brands but they do emphasize that they do want to have a positive, inclusive digital environment free from hate speech, discrimination and misinformation.

Social Media Paid Advertising Pause

We are committed to having a positive impact on children and the world they will inherit.
That includes contributing to a positive, inclusive digital environment free from hate speech, discrimination and misinformation.
We will take immediate steps to carefully review the standards we apply to advertising and engagement on global social media platforms. While we do that, we will pause all paid advertising on global social media platforms for at least 30 days.
We will not change our media investment during this period and instead, invest in other channels.
We will work to collaborate with our partners and take whatever steps are necessary to create a more trusted digital world for people today and future generations. We are confident solutions exist but urgent action is needed.

Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer

LEGO Star Wars D2C Sets Accepting Orders on Shop@Home

Some of the LEGO Star Wars direct-to-consumer sets that have been out of stock since the pandemic started has now been relisted on Shop@Home and orders can be placed on them again. The only “problem” is that they are listed on backorder status and will ship in 60 days. Most of the time, it doesn’t take the whole 60 days for them to ship the order as it is just an estimated time.

The 31 Minutos T.V. Studio by YnsomniacTypho is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas.
