What Could The Future Hold For LEGO Games
2019 has been the first year in a long time, which has seen no LEGO® games released by TT Games. Their next title has been revealed as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but it has yet to get a release date beyond 2020. TT Games may have been a little quiet, but we have still seen LEGO titles releases by other developers.

The Evolution of The Octan Corporation
Since 1992 Octan has been keeping the folks of LEGO® City and beyond on the go with the premium brand of fuel.

A Look At LEGO…. Loos
We often get so bogged down with covering all the latest LEGO® happenings, there isn’t much time for in-depth, hard hitting features. So it’s a relief to get a few days holiday and be flushed with enough time to take A Look At LEGO…. Loos.

LEGO Fabuland At 40
Forty years ago and long before the cross-product success of Bionicle, NINJAGO and CHIMA, plus more recent story-driven themes such as Hidden Side, the LEGO Group created a whole new theme aimed at young children that would sit between DUPLO and the standard LEGO® System range. Released in 1979, Fabuland was the first theme that LEGO created which went beyond the brick, by also encompassing storybooks, clothing and a great stop-motion...
