We haven’t had this in a while for a LEGO Ideas update, we only had one project in the whole week that made it to the 10,000 supporter goal. The only project to reach the goal this past week was My Neighbor Totoro 1988 by FullMetalBricks. The build consists of 2,341 pieces and features five characters from the movie, Satsuki Kusakabe, Mei Kusakabe, Totoro Chuu, Totoro, and Totoro Chibi, with the latter two being brick built. As of this update, we’re now up to 32 projects that have reached the Third 2026 Review Stage.

The LEGO 2x Insiders points event is still going on but the LEGO Restaurants of the World: Italy (40909) has sold out online and has been replaced with Mexico (40907). The Mexican taqueria was first released back in April and that one lasted through the promotional period. LEGO Brand Stores may still have Italy in stock so double check with them first before you go.

Also remember that we have the LEGO Ninjago Mini Ninja Combo Mech (30699) with a $40 purchase using one of the codes below. We’ve refreshed it with a new set of codes and that should last until October 19.

If you’re still looking for the LEGO Disney Castle (43222), the Disney Store still currently has it in stock at retail price. It is pretty much sold out on the LEGO Store and should have already been retired. This castle is the updated version of 71040 with newer details and minifigures.

Amazon has recently dropped the price of the LEGO Star Wars Chopper (C1-10P) (75416) by 30% which is the lowest it has been at. The set is now priced at $69.99 and that is a $30 savings on the droid. The set isn’t one that will be retiring any time soon but a 30% savings on it is not too shabby.
