About LEGO Minifigure
The LEGO promotional minifigure theme encompasses a variety of exclusive minifigures released as promotional items or for special events. Notable figures include Lester, a distinctive character representing the Leicester Square LEGO store in London; Michele Mouton, commemorating the renowned French rally driver; and Biff Starling, an astrobot figure tied to the LEGO Discovery Center. The theme also includes the Brick Friday 2019 Minifigure, part of a Black Friday promotion. These sets were typically available for limited times, often at specific events or through special promotions, making them highly sought after by collectors.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
