This is the sort of commitment to free Lego that I like to see.

While the article is literally right that the word “diversity” doesn’t appear, page 7 celebrates inclusivity improvements in the sets themselves and page 13 is dedicated to having an inclusive working environment and improvements made there.

The tone certainly hasn’t changed, even if one word has.

Some of the pets/animals are already quite Pokémon if you blur your eyes a bit. You wouldn’t need to be a master builder to imagine a MOC of Wooloo based on the Easter Lamb for a start…Lay a Goldfish on its side for Magikarp…Etc.

I didn’t really think about Brickheadz, which is extremely silly as I’m very much building a collection of them…Sets of three evolutions for the original starters would be cool if they work. But the actual humans would suit Brickheadz really well, similar style already.

It's good they've found a new way to print money...New themes for Fortnite, Pokemon and Bluey in the space of a couple of years is *ridiculous*.

A good time to be a Lego fan!

I don’t think he’s around much, but I’ve remade the list myself and added you to it. It’s here:

Not been around much as real life has been chaos (eg. house we rent being sold) but I’ll get it promoted a bit as I’m sure there are lots more accounts that need adding to it now!

Ah, the very best sort of Lego project. Always fun!

I only have space for small builds (literally going to have to move the majority of my belongings around to fit those modulars in, if they're near enough complete)...But the closest I can get to advice is "make sure they have space to breathe"

Rebuild as in "from scratch" or "put back together from parts"? What is it?

I got first dibs at a bundle the other day with the Parking Garage, Detective Office and Treehouse in. Some bits new in bags, lots of dust and some bits so massively sundamaged they're unusable. That's keeping me quiet!

They're great for that. Not seen anything better than the army of frogs on the Bonsai Tree yet...

My only mild criticism is that for sets that are clearly going to be bought by people new to Lego, they're often quite complicated builds!

Yup…New Lego flowers every year from now on. Probably a poinsettia at Christmas. Maybe some lunar new year ones…Obviously they’re not seasonal for the summer so you’ll need some more then…

This is the way.

Not one I’m going to buy, but they’ve done a good job of it. Chunky. I enjoyed this decorating of it too:

Happy Love Day!
I saw someone else dress up the LOVE set, so I did mine, too! ❤️

Ha, I could have typed that. Love the set, and the Endurance was almost certainly my favourite of last year, but it’s not quiiiite the same as the real thing, is it?!?

Good luck!

Singing along with Meatloaf while building Lego is clearly the best way to spend time. One day your 5 year old will manage to be that cool too, I’m sure…

Commiserations! But I can’t imagine how many applications they get for any job, you must be in the best tiny percentage to have made it into the process at all. Good work getting that far!

I’m going to break and buy the whole Animal Crossing range at some point, fully aware of that, and I bet it happens when they finally give us the museum. The world needs Lego Blathers!

If you don’t mind used sets they’re easy to get for much less than that. They might be even cheaper still if you use bricklink and buy the pieces individually.

Or even look out for unbuilt bundles that have sets you like that need putting back together.

There’s always ways to get cool sets!

It was written in 2022, nothing has changed since then until the Telegraph decided it was news.
