LEGO IKEA BYGGLEK Products Found in Germany

July 11, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in June 2019, LEGO announced a partnership with IKEA for BYGGLEK which are some new products that stimulate play around the home. We haven’t heard anything about it since then until today when Promobricks has shown off the first products that are now available and have been found in Germany. BYGGLEK so far consists of three products of various sizes as well as a LEGO set. The small box (26x18x12 cm) costs 12.99 euros. The medium sized box (35x26x12) costs 14.99 euros. There is also a combi box that goes for 9.99 euros. The LEGO BYGGLEK (40337) set costs 14.99 euros.

So far the only known place the LEGO IKEA BYGGLEK can be found is in Mannheim, Germany. There’s no word yet on when or where the new range of products will be available in other countries and they can’t be found online either.

What do you think of the first products for this collaboration? Is it what you expected or did you expect to see more color?

If you’ve been wanting to get the LEGO Crocodile Locomotive (10277), Amazon currently has it in stock at the normal retail price of $99.99. The set has been out of stock since its release and there’s no word on when it will be back. The only things you’ll be missing out on are the VIP points and the GWP set that is going on right now but at least you’ll be able to grab this hot commodity. As of this writing, it shows only 19 left in stock but I’m guessing they will have random small restocks.

New Story on How the LEGO Brick was Created

July 8, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today is the 100th birthday of former LEGO owner Godtfred Kirk Christiansen and LEGO has shared some never before released details of how the LEGO brick was created. The most interesting one is that the design of the brick was developed and patented in no more than five days. Read the full story below.

100 years ago, today, former LEGO® owner and managing director Godtfred Kirk Christiansen was born. His influence on the company and the success of the LEGO system in play is undeniable, but brand-new research done by our historians in LEGO Idea House shows that his influence on the LEGO brick and the company is even greater than we initially thought.

“For decades we have been unable to give a precise answer to the question of how the LEGO brick was developed, and who was the mastermind behind the design. We have been convinced that it was a lengthy development process carried out by a team of LEGO employees in the mid to late 1950s. Thanks to newly-discovered material, we have found out that Godtfred actually played a pivotal role in developing the LEGO brick that people all over the world love today,” explains Signe Wiese, Corporate Historian from LEGO Idea House.

Here is the never-before-told story of the development of the iconic LEGO brick:

It’s January 23, 1958. Three men are sitting in a LEGO office in Billund. The three men are Godtfred Kirk, his brother Karl Georg (presumably) and Axel Thomsen, head of LEGO sales office in Germany.
