LEGO CON going virtual this year
Popular Danish toy brick company, LEGO, will be hosting its first online convention on June 26 and fans across the globe are invited!
The live event is for free and any brick-lovers out there can tune in to LEGO’s official website to witness what the company has in store for the future.
Produced by the same people behind the LEGO films and LEGO Masters TV series, LEGO CON will be a 90-minute to two hour-long special which will be streamed live at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark at exactly 9 a.m. PST (12 a.m. on June 27 in the Philippines).
This year, LEGO CON will be showing brand new models, live building challenges, and special guests. The pre-show is also set to feature a segment inspired by AFOL—or Adult Fans of LEGO—before kicking-off to the main event such as official reveal of new products, opportunities to engage with LEGO designers and presenters, and VIP behind the scenes access.
Many of the company’s beloved product lines will also be showcased during the live event like LEGO City, Harry Potter, Super Mario, Ninjago, Star Wars, and many more. Furthermore, fans can expect to see inside the LEGO House and get a peek at LEGO Masters from around the world.
Last week, the two hosts who will be spearheading the event were also revealed. Melvin Odoom, the host for LEGO Masters UK will be joined by a new face to the LEGO Group, YouTuber Michelle Khare who is known for her show Karma on HBO Max.
