LEGO designer Joseph Patrick Kyde has revealed how the LEGO Group and Hasbro originally teamed up to create 10302 Optimus Prime.

Exclusive: LEGO confirms if Mando has a face print in new Star Wars set
The LEGO Group has confirmed exclusively to Brick Fanatics whether or not Din Djarin has a new face print in 75325 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter.

Why are there no LEGO Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sets?
Following the announcement of a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, here’s why we never saw any LEGO sets based on the original game.

LEGO explains why its 18+ label doesn’t denote difficulty
The LEGO Group’s Head of Product has explained why the 18+ label on its packaging doesn’t relate to the difficulty level of a given set. When the company phased out Creator Expert last year, it did so because the ‘expert’ label was apparently seen as intimidating to potential new adult fans. It was then replaced…
