Interesting Video on LEGO’s Recent History

There is a really interesting video about LEGO’s history on CNBS’s YouTube channel, titled “LEGO’s Comeback: From Nearly Bankrupt to $6 Billion”. The 12-minute video briefly summarizes LEGO’s past up to almost declaring bankruptcy, which we have heard before, but then it also goes into detail about LEGO’s recent past, including the involvement of the adult LEGO fan community, the impact of the coronavirus, and more.

Besides discussing what is making LEGO so successful right now, the video also features some popular YouTube channels run by LEGO fans like Solid Brix Studios, EvenTubeHD, and PotterMinifigPals. Check it out. I think you will like it.

More LEGO Ideas Contests with Great Prizes!

There are three new contests on LEGO Ideas you may want to take advantage of. These are in addition to the 10 Year of LEGO Ninjago contest, which is still accepting submissions for a few more days.

One of the new contests is the titled Build Your Own Game! In this contest, the LEGO Ideas team is looking for gaming enthusiasts to release their inner game creator. Never built a game? No probs! The free LEGO Microgame from Unity is exactly what you need to get started. Are you an advanced game developer? Bring it on and show your skills as the LEGO Microgame offers unlimited creative possibilities, so treat it like any other game project, but with LEGO bricks in it. Are you a keen Studio builder? Import your builds to the game. Once you’ve built your game, come back to LEGO Ideas and show off your game. Create a trailer, make posters, share screenshots. Make your game look as interesting as possible! Besides two grand winners and two runner-up winners, two entries in this contest will be randomly selected as winners too. All of the winners will receive amazing and generous prizes, so reason not to get involved! By the way, EVERY participant will also receive a custom, limited edition LEGO Unity minifigure!

Another new contest is inspired by the recently released #21325 LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set. Using the video below as inspiration for your own video, what do you think life would look like without a blacksmith in medieval times?

The LEGO Ideas team is asking for animations between 5 and 30 seconds long. They can be comedic, romantic, or just silly! Whatever it is, film it, and submit your animation. Make sure to use either copyright free sound/music in your video, or no sound at all. You will be asked to link to any music you use, as and when you submit your entry. Three winners will be selected in this contest, and they will all receive wonderful prices. If you are interested, visit the contest page for more info: LEGO IDEAS BLACKSMITH BRICKFILMS CONTEST

The third contest that’s currently running challenges LEGO fans to build an out of this world space build with a minimum of 150 bricks and no more than 250 bricks. There will be one grand prize winner and five runner up winners. Each will receive a large number of amazing sets, and the grand prize winner will also have the opportunity to have their model turned into a new LEGO gift with purchase set.
