A few weeks ago during the Paris Olympics, we reported that Rugby bronze medallist Sammy Sullivan is a huge LEGO fan and there’s a happy update to this story. It looks like LEGO has finally given her a shout out as well as some big surprises which includes a framed LEGO minifigure poster of her as well as the LEGO icons Eiffel Tower (10307) that she has been eyeing. You can just see the joy that Sammy has on her face when she pulls out the items after making a mess. “Whatever your dreams are in life, you can achieve them.”

LEGO has recently released the new LEGO Play App which replaces the LEGO Life App. LEGO Play is more of a rebranded app that has more things to offer such as minigames, a creative canvas, a LEGO avatar creator, and more. It is a separate app than LEGO Life so you’ll have to download the new one and delete the old one since it is no longer supported, however, you can still use your current LEGO Insiders login and any content that was previously created can be migrated over.

Introducing: LEGO® PLAY – A New App To Help Children Unleash Their Creative Superpowers

The LEGO Group has recently launched LEGO® Play, a new kid-safe, creative app for all brick lovers, builders, and creators!

The new app will allow kids to bring to life their own creations and share with friends, watch videos and play games, along with a whole host of other experiences to help them unleash their creative super-powers, in an environment specifically designed for the builders of tomorrow, centered around LEGO play.

Users can enjoy new tools like creative canvas, where they can edit and design images, and brick builder, where they can build with digital LEGO elements in 3D, helping kids channel their creativity and imagination through experimentation. This creativity can be further showcased through the personalisation features on offer, with the app allowing users to create their own fun, pre-moderated username and individual LEGO avatars.

These personalisation features also take into account user safety, by allowing them to remain anonymous, with no

We’re a little over a month away from the submission phase for the Series 6 BrickLink Designer Program and it looks like they have updated the submission guidelines for what they will be accepting. The main one that sticks out the most is that Modular Buildings will no longer be accepted although other style buildings can still be used.

In addition, depicting harm to animals is now also prohibited. Fishing is still allowed as well as any element that is used to depict food. Also you cannot use animals in zoos, circuses, aquariums or any other situations where they are used for human entertainment. Animals can only be shown in their natural environment.

Lastly, BrickLink wants to avoid highlighting fossil fuels but historical vehicles that use fossil fuels are still accepted.

Some other legalese include avoiding LEGO IP themes such as Ninjago, DREAMZzz, Friends, and Monkie Kid. Castle and Classic Space models cannot sure the various faction names.

For minifigure usage, there is a maximum of one minifigure for every 325 parts and each minifigure head can only be used once.

The Series 6 BrickLink Designer Program will start accepting submissions in 36 days and will run until for about a week and change so if there are any changes that you need to make, now is a good time to check to see if you meet these new guidelines.

Last week at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the US Women’s Rugby team took the bronze medal against Australia and an interesting fact from Sammy Sullivan’s post medal interview is that she’s self-proclaimed LEGO mega fan. When she’s not training with her team, she’s building LEGO during her downtime. She also attributes LEGO to helping with her mental health and just having a relaxing evening building LEGO sets. You can see from the video below, she likes to build sets from all sizes. Now she’s just waiting for a shout out from LEGO which still I don’t think I’ve seen yet.
