STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) topics are becoming increasingly popular among kids these days – and LEGO® supports this trend with sets focused on robotics, aerodynamics, and experiments like building volcanoes and growing crystals.

4. Augmented Reality

LEGO’s new augmented reality platform allows users to interact with their creations in the real world using their mobile devices. Kids can view their models up close, interact with virtual characters, and even customize elements of their builds.

5. Creative Tools

LEGO Art is designed to help kids create pieces that they can hang on the wall. With a range of themes such as Star Wars, DC Super Heroes, and music icons like The Beatles, these sets provide endless possibilities for creative expression.

6. Licensed IPs

LEGO continues to work with a variety of popular franchises and content partners to bring licensed characters, stories, and worlds into its products – from Harry Potter to Disney Princesses.

LEGO has recently launched an online community platform called LEGO® Life, which allows users to share photos and videos of their creations as well as collaborate on projects. Kids can also join online challenges, participate in Q&A sessions, and receive exclusive content.

8. Intelligent Bricks

LEGO’s new Powered Up platform is designed to provide enhanced building experiences with intelligent bricks that feature sensors, motors, and programmable buttons. Kids can use this technology to automate their builds and add a whole new level of interactivity.

9. Natural Elements

LEGO has been working on sets that incorporate natural elements like plants, water, and sand into the play experience – making it more immersive than ever.

10. Gaming-inspired Sets

From Ninjago to Stranger Things, LEGO® is adapting some of today’s most popular video game franchises into physical sets so kids can enjoy them in both digital and real worlds.

11. Customized Builds

LEGO now offers sets that allow users to build their own customized models using a variety of parts and pieces. With endless combinations, kids can create unique designs that reflect their individual tastes.

12. 3D Printing

The company recently launched an online service called LEGO® Ideas, which allows fans to submit their own creations for consideration in becoming official LEGO® products. With the help of 3D printing technology, anyone can turn their ideas into reality with no special equipment required.

13. Virtual Worlds

The virtual world of LEGO® Worlds is designed to provide players with an immersive experience as they explore and build in a digital playground filled with blocks, creatures, and characters from popular franchises such as Minecraft and Star Wars.

14. Educational Sets

LEGO Education products are designed to teach kids core concepts in coding, robotics, and engineering while encouraging problem-solving skills and creativity. With a range of kits available, these sets make learning fun for both kids and adults alike.

16. Subscription Boxes

For those who are looking for something new every month without having to hit the store, LEGO® now offers subscription boxes with exclusive products and themed builds that change each month. It’s the perfect way to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in LEGO® building.

17. Personalized Sets

With its new 3D printing service, customers can create their own personalized sets using photos or artwork of their choice – making it a great gift for any occasion.

18. Live Events

LEGO hosts live events around the world where fans can meet others with similar interests, take part in building challenges and learn new techniques from experts. From hands-on workshops to interactive games, these events offer something for everyone.

19. Collectible Minifigures

Minifigures are always popular among LEGO® fans, and there’s no shortage of them! New figures are released every month, making it easy to start a collection or add to an existing one. With so many new trends coming out each year, it’s no wonder LEGO® is still the world’s most beloved toy brand! Each trend provides kids with innovative ways to explore their imaginations and create something truly special. Whatever your preference may be, there’s sure to be something here that will spark your interest. So get building!

20. Price Increases

Unfortunately, due to the increasing cost of materials and other factors, LEGO® has been forced to raise prices on many sets. Shelling out extra money for your favorite bricks may be an unwelcome surprise but hopefully, it won’t deter you from enjoying all that LEGO® has to offer. After all, nothing compares to the joy of building something special with those little plastic blocks!

21. Sustainability

With LEGO® recently doing away with their physical instruction book, a bold move, they are really going in a direction of more sustainability to meet the upcoming goals they’ve set for themselves for 2030.

These are just some of the latest trends in the world of LEGO® – there are plenty more out there! Keep an eye out for new releases and join in on the fun. Who knows, maybe you’ll come up with a trend-setting idea of your own someday!
