LEGO CON 2022 went down well with fans

LEGO CON 2022 is over and the second event dedicated to bricks appears to have been much more popular, judging by reactions on social media.

LEGO CON 2021, the inaugural show, was aimed at a younger audience with more building activities and challenges than set reveals. There’s nothing wrong with that but it meant that the reception from older fans wasn’t entirely positive. The LEGO Group clarified in time for the start of the 2022 event that this was a show for all ages, setting expectations accordingly.

However, LEGO CON 2022 featured plenty of announcements for new themes, sets and more projects. We took to Twitter to see what the initial reactions to the second LEGO CON were like, and it seems that it left people impressed.

Unfortunately, not every reaction was a positive one as host and LEGO Dimensions voice actor Joel McHale was keen to ensure those waiting for a sequel that the crossover game isn’t coming back. User LegoCharacters reacted to the news with a heartfelt video expressing their thoughts on the comments from Joel.
