LEGO will be holding some new Creativity Workshops at LEGO stores in April. Select stores in the US and Canada will be holding the event on April 5 and 6. You’ll have to sign up in advance because space is limited. The workshop is intened for kids 6-12 and it looks like it’s just a building event and not a make and take.

There are 35 projects that are in the running to become an official LEGO Ideas set in the near future.

During yesterday’s financial reporting, The LEGO Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen also talked about the looming tariffs that the United States is putting on countries. Talking to Yahoo Finance, Christiansen said that if there are tariffs for Mexico, it would impact the company but it won’t be their biggest issue but would react for the long-term perspective and not to destroy the momentum they currently have.

As far as raising prices for LEGO sets here in the US, it would depend if the tariffs are permanent or temporary and they would react for the long-term and it’s hard to say at this moment in time. Currently LEGO has a factory in Mexico which supplies the products for North America and Christiansen mentioned that it wouldn’t be closing it even though there’s a Virginia plant slated to be open in 2027.
