Rounding up the LEGO news from International Toy Fair 2020
With International Toy Fair having revealed a huge number of sets, Brick Fanatics rounds up all of the hot new LEGO information
Every year, the global toy industry gathers in Nuremberg, Germany for International Toy Fair. It is always a big opportunity for toy companies to reveal new products and there is always LEGO news coming from the event – sometimes it is pictures, sometimes it is just information. This time, no photography was permitted on the LEGO stand so it is a glut of text-based news.
Coinciding with International Toy Fair, the LEGO Group and Camille Walala opened the HOUSE OF DOTS in London. This celebration of creativity saw the unveiling of the LEGO DOTS theme, a new entry into thearts and craft market. The sets will be released on March 1. More information
