LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas Design a Vendor Cart building contest for a future gift with purchase set. There were 779 builds that were entered and the winner is Urban Face Sketcher by ArchGian7. There were also 14 runner up builds as well. The winning build will now go into production and will be released some time in the future, possibly at the end of this year/early next year.
Just like clockwork, LEGO has restocked the LEGO Pokemon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise (72153) and put it back up for pre-order on the LEGO Shop. The unfortunate thing is that the promotion for the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892) is now over so you won’t be getting it if you pre-order now. I would highly suggest that you wait until February 27 to place your orders as LEGO will be running the promotion again at that time.
One thing to note about LEGO is that they regularly restock their products. For those who are new, don’t go paying scalper prices for something that will regularly restock for at least 1-2 years. When the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise went out of stock the other day, a lot of orders went straight to the secondary market and 2-3 times the retail price. I’m all about the free market but do know that stuff does come back even if the initial batch of inventory runs out. There’s no need to FOMO.
