This video features Conny Kalcher, the VP of Consumer Experience at Lego, discussing the company’s philosophy on working with the community. It is refreshing to hear an executive extolling the benefits of working with fans and embracing a philosophy of openness. I think this outlook is what help keeps Lego fresh and sets them apart from other toy companies.
I’m going to start a new feature, where I will occasionally highlight my other blog, Brickd.com. Brickd is a collection of the best Lego creations I find around the web. Here are some highlights from this week.
If you like these, be sure to check the blog regularly for updates, since I post new designs daily.
I’ve been on a bit of a Lego kick recently. I’ve doing a lot of work in the Lego Digital Designer, bought far too many sets for home, and launched my Lego design blog, Brickd. My most recent discovery is the Lego BrickMaster Club.
A one-year subscription to the program runs $39.99, and provides a ton of value and fun. Every other month you receive a small Lego model to construct and a special magazine. Additionally, you get two coupons for Lego wares, and one ticket for free admission to Legoland. All in all, it is a great deal and a more fiscally responsible way to feed my Lego addiction. If you’re interested in learning more, check out the Lego store.
While I’ve been working hard to improve the quality and quantity of this site, I wanted to make a plug for my other venture, Brickd.com. Brickd is a blog that features the best designed Lego creations that I dig up from around the web. It is a simple photo-blog, and I update it several times a day.
And so, my dear readers, I implore you to please visit the site and tell any and all of your Lego-loving fans.
I’m excited to introduce my latest web project: brickd.com. Brickd is a simple photoblog with the best Lego design work from around the web. I’ve found myself getting back into Lego building recently, and wanted to share some of the most impressive custom work that other builders create.
Please be sure to check out the site, subscribe to the RSS, follow Brickd on Twitter, and tell your friends.
