March 19, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has dropped a new teaser for a new LEGO One Piece Tony Tony Chopper minifigure. This probably means that we’ll be getting more LEGO One Piece live action sets later this year in addition to the Gum-Gum Fruit (75647) which was revealed next week. You may have noticed that the hat is more pink in the teaser and not red in the live action show. This may be a reference to the anime where Chopper’s hat is pink.

LEGO Not Renewing Partnership with FIRST

March 19, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has announced that they will not be renewing their partnership with FIRST and this season will be the last First LEGO League season together. LEGO Education will still launch a 2027-2028 season but didn’t give details on what it will consist of at this time. LEGO Education back in January announced that they will be releasing a new Computer Science & AI learning solution while the SPIKE Portfolio will be retired at the end of June.

Since 1998 we have partnered with FIRST® to inspire kids through STEM learning. As we look to the future, we’ve decided not to renew our partnership with FIRST. The 2026-2027 FIRST® LEGO® League season will be our last together.

LEGO® Education will launch a 2027-2028 season, and we look forward to bringing fun, inspiring and creative STEM learning and the important skills it develops to even more children in the future.

We can’t share more details yet, only that we will continue to work with our incredibly dedicated partners, volunteers and community around the world. Thank you for all you do to inspire the next generation of problem-solvers and visionaries.

For now, let’s finish the 2025-2026 season strongly and make the 2026-2027 FIRST LEGO League season one of the best!

Thank you FIRST for your shared vision and collaboration.
