22.01.2022 10275 LEGO Elf Club House Aged 18+ 1,197 pieces Product available direct from LEGO.com and from LEGO Stores AUD149.99... VIP Access 23/9 and General Access 1st October https://www.lego.com/en-au/product/elf-club-house-10275 PRESS RELEASE: Experience the magic of Christmas this holiday season and discover the quaint cottage that is home to Santa’s Elves, with the latest LEGO holiday set the LEGO Elf Clubhouse. Jam-packed with seasonal touches, the LEGO Elf Club House allows families to escape the chaos of holiday season, immerse themselves in the fantasy world of holiday season and create a new festive building tradition. The LEGO Elf Clubhouse is a truly magical set, with festive features which offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of Santa’s little helpers including a waffle machine to help them re-fuel after a long day of toy making, a brick built repositionable chimney and even a ‘sleighport’ to park the elf’s sleigh in, ready to load up with presents for adults and children alike. This brand-new holiday set is the perfect festive family tradition and a way for families (naughty or nice) to enjoy the magic of Holiday season and build together to bring their ultimate Christmas fantasy to life. Deck the halls with the LEGO Elf Clubhouse Christmas Tree, which is brimming with colourful baubles, sneak under the Christmas tree a selection of toys and small gifts the elves have prepared for each other and watch Santa’s sleigh take off into the night sky with the telescope. You can even use the computer to track who has been naughty and who’s nice! Once you’ve finished your DIY project, The LEGO Elf Clubhouse, which measures at 8.5 (22cm) high and 5 (13cm) deep, makes a stunning display piece - with a LEGO light brick included in the set to help illuminate the festive scene. Add it to other sets in the LEGO Holiday collection, including the LEGO Creator Expert Gingerbread House and the LEGO Creator Expert Winter Village Fire Station to create a decorative festive display. The Elf Club House is the latest creation from LEGO fan turned official LEGO designer, Chris McVeigh, whose personal passion project ‘Brick Sketches’ is now an official LEGO theme. Talking about the LEGO Elf Club House, Chris commented: It’s amazing to be able to turn my hand to such an iconic set of LEGO models Holiday season has always been a special time for me and my family, so getting into the festive spirit always come easily when I’m designing (and if I ever struggle, putting on Walking In A Winter Wonderland always helps put me in the right mindset!). For the LEGO Elf Clubhouse I wanted to explore the world of Santa’s Elves and work out what they do after they’ve had a long day making toys, giving a glimpse into their secret world, whilst also creating an iconic holiday set that reflects the architecture of alpine chalets. There are so many brilliant pieces within this set, but my favourite piece is the reindeer, which is brand new to addition to this set I like to call it Brixen! See more

21.01.2022 Paper Bags to be trialed in LEGO Set boxes starting in 2021, with the aim to make all its packaging sustainable by the end of 2025. LEGO Group to invest up to U...S$400 million over three years to accelerate sustainability efforts. PRES RELEASE: BILLUND, September 15th, 2020: The LEGO Group today announced plans to invest up to US$400 million over three years to accelerate sustainability and social responsibility initiatives. The investment will cover both long-term investments and ongoing costs. The company, which has made a series of moves over the past 10 years to build a better planet for future generations, believes it’s increasingly urgent and important to prioritise environmental and social activity. The LEGO Group CEO, Niels B Christiansen said: We cannot lose sight of the fundamental challenges facing future generations. It’s critical we take urgent action now to care for the planet and future generations. As a company who looks to children as our role models, we are inspired by the millions of kids who have called for more urgent action on climate change. We believe they should have access to opportunities to develop the skills necessary to create a sustainable future. We will step up our efforts to use our resources, networks, expertise and platforms to make a positive difference. As a next step, the company will begin to phase out single-use plastic bags used in LEGO boxes to package the loose bricks. This is part of its ambition to make all its packaging sustainable by the end of 2025. From 2021, Forest Stewardship Council-certified recyclable paper bags will be trialled in boxes. Christiansen said: We have received many letters from children about the environment asking us to remove single-use plastic packaging. We have been exploring alternatives for some time and the passion and ideas from children inspired us to begin to make the change. Moving away from the existing packaging is not a simple task and will take time as new material must be durable, light weight and enhance the building experience. Several prototypes made from a range of different sustainable materials have so far been tested with hundreds of parents and children. Children liked the paper bags being trialled in 2021 as they were environmentally friendly and easy to open. Play Video LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE In addition to developing and implementing sustainable materials, the up to US$400million investment will also focus on a range of social and environmentally focussed actions to inspire children through learning through play, making the business more circular, and achieving carbon neutral operations. The activity will drive meaningful, long-term change aligned to two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: #4 Quality Education and #12 Responsible Consumption and Production:

11.01.2022 Yesterday, Rainbow Bricks was lucky enough to be invited to have a sneak peak at the new Lego Certified Store Legocertifiedstores_anz at Charlestown Square. Thi...s was very exciting for those of us able to go along, as we no longer have to travel to Sydney to enjoy a LEGO Certified Store and all the LEGO fun that goes with it. For those excited to have a look themselves, the store opens on Wednesday 26th August. Unfortunately in the current environment, they are limited to 20 people in the store at a time and you will need to wear gloves for the Pick A Brick Wall and Build A Minifigure Station. The store was fully stocked, with all the latest and hard to get sets, as well as the Pick A Brick (PAB) Wall, which had 72 different elements. These can be purchased in small cups ($15) or large cups ($30), and you can receive 50cent off if you reuse your own cups, next time you visit. They also have the Build A Minifigure (BAM) Station, 3 Minifigures for $19.99 and elements in the station will be refreshed regularly. As with all the LEGO Certified Stores, they feature a mural and a Big Minifig, based on the local area. The mural is of the Newcastle beach front, from Fort Scratchley looking south, while the Big Minifig will be unveiled on Wednesday. What will it be?

01.01.2022 IKEA BYGGLEK Rolled out from October 2020. Today, IKEA of Sweden AB and the LEGO Group reveal the long-awaited outcome of their collaboration. ... The two brands have joined forces to create a playful storage solution called BYGGLEK. Consisting of a series of storage boxes with LEGO studs and a special LEGO brick set, the new BYGGLEK collection aims to encourage play and infuse more fun into storage around the home. The BYGGLEK range consists of 4 different products one set of 3 small boxes, and two sets of bigger boxes and one set of LEGO bricks to kick-start the playful experience. BYGGLEK can be used with any existing and future LEGO elements, as the studs used on the lid and front are part of the LEGO system in play. The LEGO System in play enables children to build and rebuild their own stories and through this process develop essential 21st century skills with BYGGLEK we hope to extend the LEGO play experience in providing fun creative storage solutions that are just as playable as they are functional. With a strong belief that play makes both the home and the world a better place, IKEA of Sweden AB and the LEGO Group set out to remove barriers to play in daily life, whilst creating a practical yet playful experience that children and adults could enjoy together. Play is the most intuitive and powerful way for children to learn and grow. However, children and adults sometimes have different views when it comes to play and creativity at home. Where adults often have a need to create structure and organize, children see a stimulating and creative environment in which they naturally want to play, pause and then replay.*
