20/05/2021 - 11:01 LEGO ICONS Lego news

LEGO today unveils the set 40516 Everyone is Awesome, a small box of 346 pieces which will be sold at the public price of 34.99 € from next June 1st on the occasion of the start of the Pride Month (Pride month).

The inventory allows to assemble a small support freely inspired by the symbol of the imagined LGBTQIA + community by artist Daniel Quasar to install the 11 assorted monochrome minifigs in Black, Reddish Brown, Bright Red, Bright Orange, Bright Yellow, Bright Green, Bright Blue, Medium Lilac, Light Royal Blue, White et Bright Purple.

The buildable display model is inspired by the iconic rainbow flag which is used as a symbol of love and acceptance by the LGBTQIA + community and features 11 monochrome minifigures each with its own individual hairstyle and rainbow color ... Matthew [designer of the set Matthew Ashton] said that the set was also a celebration of the LGBTQIA + community within the LEGO Group and amongst the branded adult fans. 

For those who are wondering, the acronym LGBTQIA + stands for: Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and the + at the end is everything else.

This product is not a temporary exclusive or a limited edition set, it fits into the LEGO catalog quite normally and will have the same shelf life as other classic LEGO products.

Note: Whatever your opinion of the context put forward by LEGO around this box, please be polite and respectful in the comments. Everyone will see what they want in this product: an assertive position or a simple collection of monochrome minifigs aligned on a support.
