Denmark, Billund, 07 April 2022 – To mark Autism Acceptance Month, the LEGO Foundation announces the launch of a new Accelerator grant: an equity free funding and fixed term mentorship programme for social enterprises, ventures and organisations who wish to support autistic children and children with ADHD with play-based learning.

LEGO has announced that they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Galidor theme with a new line coming later this year. The short-lived theme was introduced in 2002 with a TV series as well as a small line of sets that went along with it. If you weren’t familiar with Galidor, it centered around the adventures of Nicholas Bluetooth and Allegra Zane who were warped into the world of Galidor which was being taken over by Gorm.

The Galidor 20th anniversary line will reintroduce the action figure line complete with the limb switching functionality which was the core mechanic of the original line. This time, the theme will be the first line to be completely produced with the sustainable, plant-based bricks. Also included will be minifigure versions of the characters which is new since the original line didn’t have that.
