If you ever wanted to attend the LEGO Inside Tour, signups are now live for a chance to get I on the fun. If you’re not familiar with it, it is a once in a lifetime event that takes you to the LEGO House, a tour of Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s house, and a factory tour, as well as other activities like talking to LEGO designers and a shopping spree. At the end of it all, you’ll also receive an exclusive LEGO Inside Tour set.

The tour includes three overnight stays from Tuesday through Friday at Hotel LEGOLAND including breakfast on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. All meals, beverages, and snacks are included while visiting us. The LEGO Inside Tour also includes a full-year free pass to LEGO House and access to LEGOLAND Billund during the tour.

The cost per person is 22,000 DKK which is around $3100 which is a bit high but everyone I’ve talked to who have attended said it was well worth the money for this experience.

Signups are open until October 19 at 10:00 CET and there are 8 dates to choose from. Again, it will be a random draw, due to high demand, to see who will be attending.

• April 17-19

• June 19-21
• September 11-13
• October 2- 4

Today LEGO has announced that they will be discontinuing this tradition and will only be for the owner family and their Executive Leadership Team. There’s no official reasoning given in the statement but there’s a chance that LEGO could bring it back for other LEGO employees and departments, although there’s no guarantees yet at this point. I was fortunate to get one from a former employee many years ago and I’ll keep it stashed away in my vault.

We recognize the culture of trading amongst fans and trading minifigures with employees. We recently made the change that employee minifigure business cards will be for the active owner family and ELT. We could see a new culture develop for other LEGO employees and departments but with this change just happening, we don’t know what the future holds.

The LEGO Group is committed to playing its part in building a better planet for our children to inherit. In August 2023, the company pledged to work with the Science Based Targets initiative to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions) by 2050.

The pledge is an extension of its existing near-term climate target to reduce GHG emissions by 37% by 2032 from a 2019 base, which was previously approved by the SBTi.

A Carbon KPI, which will be tied to executive remuneration from 2024, will track progress towards carbon omissions and science-based targets.
