In a stroke of ingenuity, wonder and, frankly
engineering marvel, Hasbro’s Lite-Brite toy has been transformed.
Introducing 184 new Magenta lite pegs! Yes, Magenta. Lite. Pegs.
Mind-blown. Plus, new wireless-themed templates straight out of the
box and a website featuring all-new downloadable and uploadable
templates
It’s available starting today for $19.99 and
includes a 1-in-1000 chance to win a “5G Experience of a Lite-time”
through the Magenta Ticket sweepstakes
Now that the dark days of winter have descended upon us, if
there’s one thing we could all use a little more of, it’s a dose of
lite-er lights and brite-er brights. And what more obvious way to
do that than to bring T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Hasbro (NASDAQ:
HAS) together to introduce Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition, now with
184 magenta pegs.

Named one of the 100 greatest toys of all-time by Time magazine,
Lite-Brite has been lite-ing up smiles and inspiring holiday
nostalgia for children of all ages for more than 50 years.
Meanwhile, over the past two years, T-Mobile has been lite-ing up
the 5G map of America with the nation’s largest, fastest and most
reliable 5G network including recently hitting nationwide Ultra
Capacity 5G status.
Limited supplies of Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition are available
right now at www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite for $19.99 plus free
standard shipping through Cyber Monday. In addition to 184 all-new
magenta pegs, each unit comes with four wireless-inspired templates
and all the traditional Lite-Brite pegs that generations of
children have used to create rainbow-colored fish, sailboats and
unicorns. At the 5G Lite Brite website, users can download and
upload design templates to add hours upon hours of fun.
“Toying with the mobile industry – killing off annual service
contracts, crazy-high international roaming fees, data buckets, etc
- has always been at the heart of the Un-carrier. So who better to
partner with than Hasbro – the name in toys – to come up with what
I expect to be the holiday gift for 2021,” said Mike Sievert, CEO
of T-Mobile. “I like to think the 7-year-old me would’ve had an
even bigger smile creating a Lite-Brite airplane with magenta pegs.
With our partner, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, we’re going to
bring that “even bigger smile” to thousands of Club kids and teens
through toy drive donations in communities across the nation.”
But there’s more! Hidden in a limited number of Lite-Brite
T-Mobile Edition boxes, there’s a special surprise: a Magenta
Ticket, good for a “5G Experience of a Lite-time.” Up to four lucky
winners each get an all-expenses paid trip for two to an event of
their choosing at one of three T-Mobile branded properties:
T-Mobile Park in Seattle, T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, or
T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Plus each winner gets a T-Mobile 5G
prize pack that comes with two new 5G smartphones with a free year
of Magenta MAX and an HD flatscreen TV to pair with a free year of
T-Mobile Home Internet service (and Netflix, included free with
Magenta MAX). Already got a Lite-Brite and don’t want to miss out
on the fun? You still have a chance at a ticket, visit
www.t-mobile.com/5GLiteBrite for details.
“At Hasbro we are constantly thinking of fun and creative new
formats for old and new fans to connect and engage with our
brands,” said Casey Collins, GM & SVP, Global Licensed Consumer
Products at Hasbro. “More than five decades later, we’re excited to
keep the classic Lite-Brite brand alive through our collaboration
with T-Mobile – known as the hip wireless service provider. With
the T-Mobile Lite-Brite Edition, fans of all ages will be able to
make their holiday festivities even brighter.”
Spreading magenta love to communities across America
As part of T-Mobile Hometown we’re teaming up with our long-time
partner Boys & Girls Clubs of America to bring the gift of
Lite-Brite T-Mobile Edition to thousands of youth across the
nation.
