PLAYGO, A Partnership with The LEGO® Group and Playmobil®, Launches This Summer!

(BILLUND, DENMARK / ZIRNDORF, GERMANY – 31 March 2022)  — Bringing together two beloved brands in an unprecedented collaboration, today The LEGO Group and the Brandstätter Group, makers of renowned LEGO building toys and PLAYMOBIL toys respectively, announced the first sets from the PlayGo theme, a limited-edition release for North America, Europe and Australia, to be released later this summer.  The PlayGo theme is the culmination of a historic partnership between these iconic toy companies, both of which have enjoyed commercial and creative success for decades.

“For years, fans of Playmobil and LEGO have asked us for sets like these, and we are pleased to finally offer our limited run PlayGo sets, designed to highlight the best play qualities of our products,” said Steffen Höpfner, CEO of Horst Brandstätter Holding GmbH, the parent company of Playmobil.  “These sets pay homage to collective nostalgia, but also represent a bright future of collaboration between our two companies.  We look forward not just to our fans’ enjoyment, but also to creating more PlayGo sets in the near future.”

The LEGO Group CEO, Niels B. Christiansen said: “I am grateful our loyal consumers and also to Playmobil for engaging with us in this historic partnership.  Both LEGO and Playmobil teams are passionate and committed – just like our fans.  It will be satisfying to see children and adults worldwide enjoy the fruits of our labors in the form of PlayGo sets and we cannot wait to for everyone to see these products on store shelves worldwide.” 

 

The collaboration is also unique in that several LEGO Users Groups, or LUGs, were granted early access to the PlayGo sets, as part of The LEGO Group’s and Playmobil’s desire to produce a toy line to meet the highest expectations of its consumers.  This resulted in the potential number of sets pared down from 19 possible offerings to the following seven, with input from LUG members across three continents:
