Happy birthday to us! LEGO bricks have been a part of children’s lives for 90 years, and to celebrate, we paid tribute to the kids of today and yesterday with new sets.

Plus, we had our official reveal of the new LEGO Lion Knights’ Castle.

A family moment!

We reunited Kat Harris (an Adult Fan Of LEGO) with her siblings who live on the other side of the States – a complete surprise for Kat! Growing up, their favorite hobby was building LEGO sets together – and still is! So, it was extra special reuniting them at LEGO CON 2022.

It just goes to show the real power of play. It’s all about memories, loved ones and connecting (literally).

A Minifigure Masterclass

We had a live LEGO minifigure Masterclass!

The audience learned how our tiny little loveable minifigures are made, with LEGO designers Esa and Tara in the studio who talked us through the production process of our Series 23 Minifigures. They’re so adorable!

Ekow Nimako inspires a new generation

Time for creative inspiration! It can be daunting making your own LEGO brick creations from scratch, but artist Ekow Nimako gave some valuable guidance on how to get started.

Known for his bold, impactful art, Ekow creates Afrofuturistic sculptures crafted with LEGO elements, using only black bricks.

The final stretch! You can do it...

LEGO® Mario™ time!

Next up, challenge time, LEGO® Super Mario™ style!

Two LEGO Super Mario designers, Alice and Didier, raced against a 90-second clock to find the 8 brand-new LEGO Super Mario characters from the Series 5 Character Packs, hidden at LEGO House.

They searched through piles of LEGO bricks to reveal a Red Yoshi, Purple Toad, Blue Shy Guy, Waddlewing and more (all while collecting digital coins on the way).
