The LEGO Group announces double-digit growth for the first half of 2024 [News]

Continuing to outpace the rest of the toy industry, The LEGO Group announced earlier today during it’s earnings report for H1 2024 that it’s achieved a 13% growth in revenue compared to TLG’s H1 of 2023. On top of that, the company has also seen growth in customer sales of 14%, driven by the Europe and the Americas regions. With this additional cash coming in, spending on new offices and factories has also upticked slightly. Amid this growth, the LEGO Group’s continued push for sustainably sourcing plastic for their bricks remains a driving force at the company. Over the last 6 months, about 22% of material used in their toys came from renewable and recycled materials, improving upon the 12% used in H1 of 2023. Other items of note include TLG’s participation in the first International Day of Play and the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO reveals LEGO Harry Potter 76437 The Burrow – Collector’s Edition, the next adult-targeting set in the Harry Potter series [News]

Although it likely falls foul of a few OSHA or health & safety regulations, it can’t be denied that the Burrow – home of the Weasleys in the Harry Potter books and movies – leaves a lasting impression with its ramshackle vibe. Having been in a handful of playsets, LEGO is now seeing fit to release an upgraded version of this rickety residence. 76437 The Burrow – Collector’s Edition will hit shelves just in time for Back to Hogwarts day, i.e. this September 1st, for US $259.99 | CAN $339.99 | UK £219.99. That price nets you the 2,405 pieces required to build the Burrow, but between its release and September 10 it will also qualify LEGO Insiders for some additional gifts with purchase (GWPs). Chief among these is 40695 Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network, which includes a Lucius Malfoy figure and is available if you spend US $130 | CAN $TBD | UK £120 or more.
