Editor’s Notes: Today, the entire world celebrates International Women’s Day, a global event marking progress in the women’s rights movements and gender equality.

Winners & Losers: LEGO in 2017
What a year it has been for LEGO. As the year comes towards its end, I’d love to review some of the biggest trends, news pieces and in my opinion, the Winners and Losers of LEGO in 2017. I’ll still be writing a usual Year in Review Retrospective piece, so this will be a little…
