The teams of Stephen Cassley and Stephen Joo, Stacey Roy and Nick Della Mora, and David and Emily Guedes go against each other in a 24 hour final build to showcase their storytelling, creativity, and technical ability. There was also some curveballs thrown in to enhance the builds even more. To celebrate the 90 Years of LEGO, the teams were given bags containing the first LEGO sets they built as a kid and they had to use those pieces into their final builds.

David and Emily had the City of Kaleidoscopia, Stephen and Stephen created the Autumnal Aurora, and Nick and Stacey’s final build was Imagination. Ultimately, the Build of the Year and the LEGO Masters of Season 3 was Nick and Stacey. Along with the title, they also get a $100,000 cash prize as well.

LEGO Con Not Happening in 2023

LEGO has announced on the LEGO Ambassador Network that LEGO Con 2023 will not be held even though it seem pretty successful this year. It hasn’t been cancelled but more of a hiatus so hopefully it will return in 2024. Although the first event in 2021 was very hyped, it was underwhelming but the production value for 2022 was much better and how they did their product showcase and interviews. Hopefully LEGO still do something to reveal some of the fall releases even if it’s not an actual show.

LEGO Icons Jazz Club (10312) Officially Announced

LEGO has officially announced the next set in the Modular Building Collection with the LEGO Icons Jazz Club (10312). Releasing on January 1, the set has 2,899 pieces and retails for $229.99. Like with other modulars, the floors and be removed to show various details inside the Jazz Club including a Pizzeria, a Managerial office, a Tailor’s workshop, and a Dressing Room. There’s also a greenhouse on the roof as well. Check out more images of the set below.

In addition, there will also be a change to the look of the building instructions. This mainly affects the adult-oriented sets as they migrate to the paper bags. This is to ensure that the visual appearance of the pags is not impacted by the ink marks caused by the friction during transportation.

As our fans have noticed, the covers of building instructions for many of our sets underwent a re-design this year with exception of our LEGO® sets for adults. Starting from 1HY 2023, building instructions for adult sets will also feature re-designed covers with lighter background prints. The redesign of building instruction covers is connected to our move to paper-based bags in our boxes. A lighter background print ensures that we maintain our very high quality standards. In this case, that the visual appearance of the paper-based bags is not impacted by potential ink marks caused by friction between building instructions and bags during transportation.
