LEGO has just released a press release regarding LEGO CON 2021 and its “great success” for the event. I wouldn’t say it was great but it was entertaining here and there. I did like the interviews with the various LEGO designers as well as NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. The interactivity with viewers was also decent especially with the LEGO DOTS mosaic.

There were also some things that I didn’t really like about it. The main thing was the connection issues with the stream. I was watching/listening to it at work and suddenly there was silence. I thought my network went down but it was the actual stream that crashed and gave an error. I saw that others also had the same issue and I think it happened a few times.

As for the set reveals, there were a couple of them, one for LEGO Ideas and one for LEGO Star Wars. They announced the We Love Sport! set which was the Foosball Table but some people already knew that because LEGO accidentally posted it a few days ago before taking it down. The other annnoucement was for the Summer 2021 Mandalorian sets. One disappointment was that many fans were expecting the reveal of the UCS Republic Gunship which didn’t happen at all. The other “reveals” like the new LEGO Super Mario range and LEGO VIDIYO Boombox were already known about so they weren’t really reveals.

Overall, the event was a decent event that could be improved on if LEGO decides to make it an annual event.… Continue

This is just a reminder that LEGO’s big event today, LEGO CON 2021, will be happening today at 12pm EST/9am PST. Tune in for a variety of activities just as interviews, building challenges, and even two LEGO set reveals as well. There’s the LEGO Star Wars reveal which is still the most interesting one but there’s also the LEGO Ideas We Love Sports! announcement which was pushed back a few days ago during the LEGO Ideas Third 2020 Review Stage winner reveal. You can watch the show at LEGO.com/legocon.

To get fans hyped for LEGO CON 2021 tomorrow, LEGO has put up a free item in the LEGO Rewards Center. For the low price of 0 VIP points, you can get the LEGO CON 2021 Wallpapers Pack which consists of wallpapers for your desktop or mobile devices. It’s nothing too fancy but free is free. Below is a sample of what you can get but there’s more images in various sized provided.

LEGO CON 2021 kicks off tomorrow at 9am PST/12pm EST and there should be a LEGO Star Wars set reveal somewhere in there. I’m guessing it’ll be towards the end so people keep watching the show.

For those who have been waiting for the new adidas Superstar shoe and the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) set to launch on July 1 over on adidas’s site, there is some bad news as both items have been delayed. We have been notified that due to some unexpected transportation delays, it won’t be available on adidas’s channel until July 30 but it will still be be available on July 1 on the LEGO Shop. This is only relevant if you have some rewards over on adidas but I’m assuming most of you will be purchasing from LEGO.

There have been unexpected transportation delays on both the Superstar wearable and Superstar LEGO set, meaning adidas will be launching the Superstar wearable shoe and 10282 Superstar LEGO set July 30th instead of July 1st through adidas. 10282 will still be available via LEGO channels July 1st.
