LEGO has announced that there will be a live set reveal on October 22 at 12pm ET. During the reveal, there will be a Q&A session with the set designers. In addition, there will be a sweepstakes for a chance to win a signed copy of the set or a $100 e-gift card. There is also an opportunity to redeem 50 points for a customized minifigure, while supplies last. My guess for the reveal is the LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353) since it was teased a few days ago.

Back in 2021, The LEGO Group announced that there will be a new $1 billion LEGO factory in the Binh Duong Province of Vietnam. Ahead of its opening next year, they have launched a global training program for employees. Here they will learn the necessary skills and knowledge about the various manufacturing equipment used in LEGO production.

The programme is designed to equip employees with the skills and knowledge necessary to operate high-tech production equipment ahead of the factory’s grand opening in the first half of 2025.

The training programme will include both hands-on learning overseas at the company’s factories worldwide, as well as local-on-the-job training, creating an exchange between newly hired employees in Vietnam and international colleagues with deep subject matter expertise.

If you have some free time this month, LEGO Brand Stores will be holding a couple of Make & Take events. The first one comes this Sunday, October 13 from 12-2pm for a LEGO Gaming Controller. The other one is on Sunday, October 27 from 12-2 for a LEGO Halloween Spider. Both builds are on a first come, first serve basis and once the slots fill up, they won’t allow any more people to build it so get there early if you want to participate.

Last night we reported that the LEGO Shop was hacked to promote a crypto scam and LEGO today has released a statement to Engadget about it. They did confirm that there was an unauthorized banner (shown above) and they have identified the cause of why it happened and are implementing measures to prevent it from happening again. Everything should be back to normal now and no user accounts were affected but I suggest changing your password anyways and using the two-factor authentication.

“On 5 October 2024 (October 4 evening in the US), an unauthorised banner briefly appeared on LEGO.com. It was quickly removed, and the issue has been resolved. No user accounts have been compromised, and customers can continue shopping as usual. The cause has been identified and we are implementing measures to prevent this from happening again.”

It looks like the LEGO Shop has been hacked and is hit with a crypto scam. If you are shopping, I would be very wary and keep a close eye on your bank accounts. The scam is in the banner when you hit the main page and it changes to the normal one with the Jabba’s Sail Barge a few seconds later.

If you happen to click on the links, it goes to a marketplace where they are selling “LEGO Tokens” with ETH. I would not buy or sell any of it as LEGO doesn’t do crypto. Thanks to ZTBricks for the heads up.

Update: It looks like the site has been fixed. Good on them to get it done quickly but we’ll see if there was any damage done.

For those who want to build a LEGO community on Twitch, they have just added a new LEGO & Brick Building category. Here you can watch various creators building whatever their heart desires. Builders have long been building on Twitch but there is now a dedicated category so it’s more organized and easier to find LEGO creators.
