New LEGO Elephant Molds Teased Back in March

June 17, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It’s fairly rare that LEGO designers reveal their secrets but there’s one that has been revealed for an upcoming LEGO City set. Designer George Gilliatt has disclosed that the new elephants in the upcoming summer 2021 LEGO City Wildlife Rescue Operation (60302) were actually teased back in March in the LEGO Creator Safari Wildlife Tree House (31116). As you can see, there’s a printed picture tile of the prototype elephants in the treehouse. I guess we’ll just have to scrutinize every little details in sets for hints on future items.

The Wildlife Rescue Operation will be available starting on August 1 and it is one of two sets in the wave with the new adult elephant molds, the other set being the Wildlife Rescue Camp (60307).

A few days ago, LEGO announced the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) buildable shoe and today, they dropped the designer video for it. Designer Florian Müller talks about the details of the shoe including some new elements such as the 5×5 dome piece that will most likely be in future sets. He also goes into detail about the box which is a replica of a real shoebox.

Also almost midway through the video, LEGO has teased the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set. It’ll most likely be available starting in July when the shoe drops but we’ll see if you’ll actually need to purchase the shoe to get it.

LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van (10279) Rumored for 2021

June 17, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Continuing with some of rumors of new LEGO summer 2021 sets, there’s now one for a LEGO Volkswagen T2 Camper Van (10279). The original Volkswagen T1 Camper Van was finally retired last year after being on the market for a whopping nine years and it looks like there’s a replacement for it coming soon. There’s no word on piece count or the color scheme but it is reported that it could retail for 179.99€ which is a lot more expensive than the T1. This could suggest that it will have more pieces than the T1 as well.

LEGO Technic Ford Raptor F-150 (42126) Rumored for October Release

There’s a new rumor that has surfaced for a LEGO Technic Ford Raptor F-150 (42126). It is said to have 1,379 pieces and will retail for 139.99€. The release date for it would be on October 1. The color scheme is rumored to be bright orange with black accents similar to the one above. The Raptor is one of the more recognizable Ford trucks and I’m curious to see if LEGO is able to pull it off given their ingenuity of using parts to get the right angles on Technic vehicles.

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) Review

June 16, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282)

LEGO dropped a surprise announcement yesterday with the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) which is part of their ongoing collaboration with adidas. The set has 731 pieces and will retail for $79.99. Since LEGO introduced the new 18+ designation for some sets, it may attract people that aren’t really fans of LEGO but are fans of a particular item and for this instance, shoes, aka sneakerheads.

Box

Unlike the usual LEGO boxes, the Superstar actually comes in a shoebox which is something that enhances the value of the set a little. It does come LEGO branded throughout including a minifigure head cut-out on one side of the box and the copyright on the other.

The bottom of the box shows the Superstar with its dimensions.

When you open the lid, you get the 18+ layout showing the Superstar on a black background.

When you cut open the tape, there’s another surprise as it comes with a sheet of tissue paper similar to when you buy a brand new shoe. It covers up the numbered bags and the instructions are at the bottom of the box.

The inside of the box is also decorated with the adidas logo on the flap and the bottom of the shoe on the bottom of the box.

The contents of the box include bags numbered to 7, the instruction booklet, and a small sticker for the stand.

Instructions

Like with all LEGO Ideas sets, the front gives a little insight about the set including a short excerpt about the fan designer, Steve Guinness. It also gives short quotes from the LEGO designers James May, Wes Talbott, and Martin Fink.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

Letter

Included with the set is a booklet of a letter from LEGO Chairman, Thomas Kirk Kristiansen. There are letters in 43 different languages so there’s pretty much something for everyone. You can rip them off to put on the typewriter after you’re finished building.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

Build

There are three sections each set of bags are for. 1-4 are for the front frame and keyboard. 5-8 are for the back frame and the inner workings of the carriage. Bags 9-11 are for the platen and ribbon spools.

Bag 1 are the parts used for the frame of the keyboard, most of them having Technic beams.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

Bag 2 is for part of the frame for the keyboard. Here you use the arm builds from bag 1 and attach them in the correct sequence. This is easily the most tedious part of the whole build. If you messed up here after completing it, good luck finding the mistake.

LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) Rumored Details

There are some new rumored details for the characters of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) series. As we mentioned before, the series will be based around some of the Marvel Disney+ shows such as WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and What If…? If you haven’t watched any of the shows, there are some spoilers so don’t read on if you don’t want to be spoiled. The Loki and What If…? details seem to be very spoilery with what we could be seeing in future episodes.

WandaVision

Scarlet Witch will be in her new outfit where she fights Agatha Harkness. White Vision is the version seen in the show and has lot of detailed printing. Monica Rambeau looks to be in her spacey looking outfit after she goes through the Hex the last time.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Sam Wilson will be in the new Captain America outfit with brick-built wings and the shield. Bucky Barnes will have some printed arms with a knife and shield.

Loki

Loki with be in a VARIANT trench coat and he also comes with Throg who has a red cape and holds Frogjolnir. Lady Loki have a new hairpiece that has a diadem and has a green blade.

What If…?

Peggy Carter will be dressed as Captain Britain and has the Captain Britain shield and Tessaract. Zombie Captain America is pretty much what it is. It’s a zombified version of Steve Rogers. T’Challa as Star-Lord has a couple of blasters. Steve Roders as Spider-Man … Continue

Now that the LEGO Japan 2021 2HY Catalog is back up, we get to see some of the upcoming LEGO products and there’s an image of the LEGO Friends 2021 Advent Calendar (41690). Instead of the usual minidolls that we get for these calendars, there will be some new micro-dolls in this set. It’s a little hard to make out who the five micro-dolls are but I assume they are the main girls as kids. The image also doesn’t really show off the microbuilds so you aren’t spoiled on what will be coming.

LEGO Builder’s Journey Game Preview

June 8, 2021 / / 0 Comments

This morning, I attended a preview event for LEGO Builder’s Journey which will be available on Steam and Nintendo Switch on June 22. It was previously available for Apple Arcade but now, it has updated technology to be the world’s first ray-traced game made with Unity which is a custom integration specifically made for LEGO Builder’s Journey.

NVIDIA has teamed up with LEGO Games and Light Brick Studio to bring ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS in the game. If you’re not familiar with ray tracing, it is technology that brings realistic lighting while also having improved performance.

LEGO Builder’s Journey is an atmospheric, geometric puzzle game that asks us to sometimes follow the instructions… and sometimes to break the rules.

Take your time to experiment with free-form puzzle solving while immersing yourself in a poetic world of LEGO® bricks. Throughout the narrative, there will be ups and downs, challenges, and celebrations. Figuring out who we are and what we become is the Builder’s Journey.

The breathtaking LEGO brick world is brought to life with the most accurately rendered LEGO elements yet to feature on screens, including stunning ray tracing elements.

A NEW THUNDERBOLT STRIKES: Life-size Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 built from over 400,000 LEGO® Technic™ pieces unveiled

Today, the LEGO Group unveiled the latest enviable addition to its garage, a life-size replica of the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 made from over 400,000 LEGO® Technic™ elements. This showstopping collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini demonstrates once again that with Technic™, you can build whatever you can imagine for real.

Over 154 different types of LEGO elements have been used to ensure the model embodies the futuristic elegance and unmistakeable silhouette of the Lamborghini Sián, down to the most minute details.

Lena Dixen, Senior Vice President of Product and Marketing at the LEGO Group said:

“Our designers love a challenge, so you can imagine their delight when we tasked them to think slightly larger than normal with this model.

The LEGO Art World Map (31203) is now available and this morning, LEGO has also dropped the designer video for the set. Design Manager Fiorella Groves gives some insight on creating the set with the most pieces ever.

For those who don’t want to look for it, it is in the Pacific Ocean and if you look closely, you can see the Chinese character 李 which means Lee. We can confirm on Fiorella’s Twitter is it is part of her name and that’s pretty awesome.

LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas Seaside contest in which the winning build will become the next gift-with-purchase set and the title of Fan Designer. The winner with 969 votes is Ray the Castaway by DadiTwins (shown above) and it was a runaway choice from fans as it had over 400 votes over the next runner up build.

LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) to be Sold in July

May 31, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) promotion for June came with some controversy as it is a purchase-with-purchase promotion but there are some more details about it coming from the LEGO Ambassador Network. As of now you can get it for $10 with purchases of $85 in Ninjago products, in-store only but if you want to do that, there’s another chance to get it starting in July. Whatever remaining stock there is left over from June in stores will be sold at full price starting on July 1 worldwide at LEGO Brand Retail, Certified Stores, Merlin and on the LEGO Shop.

This is actually a decent follow up for those who don’t want to buy any Ninjago in June since there’s nothing new and you’ll end up with duplicates. I’m going to guess there will be plenty of stock in July for people who want to buy it for $29.99. Again, it seems that LEGO is listening to feedback and all the negative reactions when the July 2021 Store Calendar was posted and have adjusted accordingly.

I have been told from the Shop Team that the 40490 set will only be available as a promo during the month of June. Then remaining stock will be opened up for purchase at full price after July 1st. Once available for purchase it is planned to be available at LBR, LCS, Merlin, LEGO.com.

LEGO Announces Partnership with UNICEF for Children in Need in China

May 29, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO announced that the LEGO Foundation will form a partnership with UNICEF to provide playful parenting to children in need in China. It is a 3 year partnership that will see $2.5 million invested to providing resources to support children in disadvantaged regions. It is expected to 20,000 children aged 0 to 6 years old and around 40,000 caregivers will benefit directly through access to better quality community-based family support services, improved parenting practices and behaviors, and use of age-appropriate play materials.

The LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation join forces with UNICEF to provide playful parenting to children in need in China

Billund, May 27, 2021: The LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation, and UNICEF today announced a partnership to bring learning-through-play to help early years development in children living in disadvantaged regions of China.

The three-year partnership will see approximately US$2.5 million invested in providing resources to community-based family support programmes to help caregivers understand the importance and life-long benefits of incorporating play into their everyday lives and enhance caregivers’ capacity to better support their young children.

Research has found that caregivers and young children in less developed areas interact less, and that disparity exists between urban and rural areas in many aspects of early childhood development, such as the opportunity to develop language.

“UNICEF is working with our partners so that every girl and boy’s rights to health, education and protection are achieved. Upholding these rights in the early years impacts a child’s long-term health, education and well-being. This partnership

LEGO Announces LEGO Ninjago Ninja Vlogs

May 28, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced they have launched their first digital vlog series for LEGO Ninjago called Ninja Vlogs. The vlogs feature Jay and Nya who are played by actors using motion capture and real-time rendering and it combines CGI along with a live action performance. The first episode airs today over at https://www.lego.com/en-us/kids with subsequent episodes following every second Friday.

Ninja Vlogs Go! The LEGO Group Launches First Digital Vlog Series

LEGO® Ninjago Characters Jay and Nya to be played by actors using motion capture and real-time rendering

May 28th, 2021: Today, the LEGO Group steps into a new realm of adventure and discovery as it launches the first episode of Ninja Vlogs, a brand-new series of motion capture vlogs aimed at viewers ages 6-12 years. Hosted by Jay and Nya, two familiar faces from LEGO® Ninjago, the interactive vlogs offer a new way for young fans to connect with the beloved characters and even get involved in the story themselves!

For the first time ever, the LEGO Group is introducing content produced using motion capture and real-time rendering. Motion capture is a 3D production approach in which the performance of an actor is recorded using a suit with motion trackers and mapped onto a 3D character, thereby allowing the character to mirror the actor’s movements. Meanwhile, real-time rendering calculates 3D images at high speed so that scenes which consist of a multitude of images appear to be occurring in real time.

Merging the two techniques in relation to LEGO characters, models and settings combines the best

LEGO Releases Mysterious Teaser of Something Coming June 26

LEGO has released a mysterious trailer that shows something is coming soon on June 26. It shows a 2×2 brick with the stud highlighted in different colors and the whole image glitches. LEGO did do another teaser a few months back with the hashtag #NFT but that tweet was quickly deleted. I’m not sure if this new teaser related to that or not. It’s also possible that it could be the LEGO Light Mode lighting kits that were shown off last year but haven’t heard anything about them since. It’ll still be a few weeks before we see a reveal but hopefully there are more teasers by then.

LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) Purchase-with-Purchase Concept – Good or Bad?

May 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you didn’t see the June 2021 LEGO Store Calendar yet, LEGO will be doing a new kind of promotion for the new LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490). Instead of the usual gift-with-purchase, they will be trying out a new purchase-with-purchase promotion for it and in this case, the set will be $10 with a purchase of $85 in Ninjago products, in-store only.

I can already see some issues with it. The main thing being the in-store only one. There are still a lot of people who don’t have a LEGO Brand Store or Discovery Center near them and will probably have to resort to the secondary market. There are also those who don’t want to go to a store because of the hassle. Another problem I see with the promotion is mostly for hardcore Ninjago fans who have collected every set. To get it, they’ll have to shell out $85 to purchase a set that they already have just to get the promo. The other side of the coin is that you can probably just keep it sealed for a few years and resell it after.

I have seen a mixed bag for the actual purchase-with-purchase concept. Some people like it because it gives fans who want the extra to get it and it ensures that the promo item doesn’t run out as fast as some previous ones. There are also comments that say it’s a money grab which it kind of is. The set is stated to be $29.99 in the T&Cs, so … Continue

It will be available from June 21-31 with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last on the LEGO Shop and in stores. The 152 piece set was previously an Asia exclusive set to celebrate International Children’s Day but this version has been modified with a sign that says “Leg Godt” or “play well” in Danish. Note that the Asia version was limited to only 1,000 pieces, which it technically is due to the front sign, but hopefully LEGO will have a lot of the Leg Godt version for those who wants one.

Travel put firmly back on the map with huge new LEGO® Art set

Wanderlusters prepare to be enthralled by the magic of a different sort of map – the new LEGO® Art World Map. This new addition to the LEGO Art collection contains the most pieces ever included in a set in the LEGO Group’s history, with its 11,695 elements allowing builders to immerse themselves in creating a stunning representation of the earth from 2D LEGO tiles.

The new LEGO Art World Map can be reimagined in a number of different ways to express the personality and travel memories or wishes of different builders. Customisable brick-built pins can be placed to mark out destinations already visited or highlight those still on the builder’s bucket list to give this masterpiece a personal twist before it’s proudly displayed.

The set’s building instructions show how the 40 interconnecting base plates are divided into three sections for the build that can be arranged in one of three different ways, allowing you to place your favourite part of the world in the centre of your map.

Marvel’s Eternals Teaser Trailer Gives Glimpse of LEGO Tie-In Sets

May 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Eternals

This morning, Marvel dropped the official teaser trailer for the Eternals movie and we get a first look at what the LEGO sets could be referencing. The Eternals isn’t your typical MCU movie as it focuses on an immortal alien race created by the Celetials who have secretly lived on Earth for over 7,000 years. The beginning of the trailer shows the triangular ship from the Rise of the Domo (76156) but that’s as much that was shown for the LEGO tie-in sets.

There are at least four sets that will be for the movie and we’ve already got details for them thanks to the January 2021 catalog. There’s still no word on when they will be available but it’ll be before or around the time the movie releases in theaters on November 5.

Deviant Ambush! (76154) – 197 pieces/$24.99
In Arishem’s Shadow (76155) – 493 pieces/$59.99
Rise of the Domo (76156) – 1,040 pieces/$89.99

One Week Left to Pre-Order The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks

May 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There is exactly one week left to put your pre-order in for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks written by Daniel Konstanski. In his latest update for the book, he detailed how LEGO was able to provide him with exclusive images to use for the book as well as LEGO going a step further to provide items to photograph for better image quality. It looks like LEGO is fully committed to put out a good book dedicated to AFOLs.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it might be more in the case of LEGO® sets. Indeed, as several senior members of the LEGO Group’s in-house advertising agency told me, they spend more hours than you can imagine putting together the key images which appear on set boxes. But that is all I can say about that for now so as to not spoil a really great story from The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks. For our effort, I and the team who are helping make this book a reality realised that being able to show many of the parts and sets I discuss was a necessity. To that end, the LEGO Group gave us permission to not only scour their digital archive but also to request images for use in the book. As I have been writing I concurrently scour the appropriate timeframe or category in the digital archive for pictures to enhance the text. However, it didn’t stop there. In a show of just how committed the LEGO Group is to

LEGO Marvel 2021 Advent Calendar (76196) Rumored Characters

May 22, 2021 / / 0 Comments

One new thing for 2021 is that LEGO will be doing a Marvel Advent Calendar (76196) which will be the first time for it. There are some rumored details coming from Instagram talking about some of the characters that we could be seeing in it. If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest skipping this post.

For the 2021 LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar, we’ll be seeing existing Marvel minifigures but with slight differences with them. It is reported that they are Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Thanos, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and Thor.

Spider-Man will be in this yellow jacket which is from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Iron Man will be in a Christmas sweater and will have the 2020 helmet and a separate hairpiece. Captain Marvel will be the version from the Avengers Helicarrier (76153) but without the helmet. Thanos will be the one from the Thanos Mech (76141) but he will be without leg printing or a helmet. Black Widow will be the one from the Avengers Tower Battle (76166). Nick Fury is said to also be the one from the Helicarrier set but he will have a beanie similar to his look from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Thor will also be the version from the Helicarrier but will the Infinity War hairpiece.

Note that quite a few of these minifigures are from more expensive sets so this will be a cheaper way to get them unless you just buy them separately on the secondary market. Along with the minifigures, we’ll also get a … Continue

There are some rumored details of the LEGO Star Wars 2021 Advent Calendar (75307) and what characters we can expect to see in it. If you don’t want to be spoiled by what could be in the set, I would skip this post. Word has it from Promobricks is that it will be based mostly on The Mandalorian and six characters will be Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper, and Tusken Raider, IG-11, Din Djarin (Mandalorian), and Grogu (The Child) with the last two having festive attire.

In addition, some of the builds in the 335 piece set will have microscale builds of The Razor Crest, Cobb Vanth’s speeder bike, TIE Fighter X-Wing, blue Landspeeder, Tusken ballista, E-Web blaster, Imperial Troop Transport, Moff Gideon’s Light Cruiser, and a weapons rack.

LEGO FRIENDS Mug Promotion Starting Soon?

May 19, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO ad on Instagram that I came across that shows there will be a new LEGO Friends Coffee Mug promotion starting soon on the LEGO Shop. It says that you can get the mug with a purchase of the LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) but it doesn’t seem like the promo hasn’t started yet online.

The promotion is very interesting since many people already have the Central Perk and since The Friends Apartment (10292) just dropped for VIPs, why didn’t LEGO do it for that instead. I’m thinking that LEGO is banking on people purchasing both sets since there’s a big Friends fandom.

LEGO Marvel Daily Bugle (76178) Originally Had List of 60 Minifigures

May 19, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Daily Bugle (76178) was announced a few days ago and with it comes a whopping 25 minifigures which is the most ever in a Marvel set. The designer of the set, Mark Stafford, recently did an AMA on Reddit and he revealed that the set originally started out with 60 minifigures but was whittled down to the current number. In addition, he also wanted the original Sinister Six but just couldn’t do it and a lot of minifigures actually were pushed to the regular sets first. Some of the characters that were omitted from the Daily Bugle include Deadpool, Human Torch, Iceman, and Spider Woman because Marvel was in charge of who they wanted to include. Unfortunately, Mark is not able to divulge the other minifigures that we wanted to put in the set but hopefully we’ll be able to see them in future sets.

Several. I had made a list around 60 long when I started!

I wanted the original Sinister Six, but we just couldn’t make it happen, we ran out of new figures we could make. In fact because it was so minifigure heavy a lot of figures from this set were pushed out into the standard retail line (they ended up coming out first).

TO give you a few names I wanted Deadpool, The Human Torch, Iceman, Spider Woman – all Spiderman’s buddy’s. But Marvel also have to agree and some of the decisions to include or not include figures were up to them and like I

LEGO Harry Potter Summer 2021 Wizard Cards

LEGO Harry Potter Wizard Cards

The embargo for the new summer 2021 LEGO Harry Potter sets have lifted today and we’re getting our review ready so stay tuned for them. One new thing in this wave are some collectible Wizard Cards that are randomly packed into sets. They are essentially 2×2 tiles featuring characters from the Harry Potter Universe and are based on the Chocolate Frog Cards. Below are the cards you will be able to collect in this wave.

Albus Dumbledore (Silver Border)
Albus Dumbledore (Gold Border)
Severus Snape
Godric Gryffindor
Minerva McGonagall
Gilderoy Lockhart
Salazar Slytherin
Olympe Maxime
Helga Hufflepuff
Newt Scamander
Seraphina Picquery
Bertie Bott
Jocunda Sykes
Rowena Ravenclaw
Garrick Ollivander
Nicholas Flamel

Since it says they are randomly packed into sets, there’s a chance that you may get duplicates and not all the card may be guaranteed if you buy the whole wave.

Note that there is a mistake in the image of the cards. There is an image of Garrick Ollivander used for Rowena Ravenclaw’s card. If you get that particular card, she’s the one that wears the diadem. Also, the cards don’t have names on them so you’ll probably need to reference the back of the instructions so see who you got.

A few days ago, we got a look at the Stranger Things 4 trailer and LEGO did a LEGO-ized still shot of one of the scenes. I took it as just LEGO getting in on the hype for the new season but a fan on Twitter asked if there would be any new sets and LEGO responded with: “Keep an eye out for more information!”

I haven’t heard anything new for LEGO Stranger Things but this tweet suggests that we may be getting something in the near future. We’re still missing a lot from the theme that we didn’t get from The Upside Down (75810) like Bob or the Mind Flayer. We did get Barb as a minifigure but it was exclusive to SDCC 2019. Let’s do what LEGO says and keep an eye out for more details as they come.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage Trailer

May 10, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Sony has just dropped the Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer and we can see what the sequel has to offer. Woody Harrelson stars as the new Symbiote Carnage and we’ll see if it follows the origin story from the comics or if Sony puts their own spin on it.

There are currently three LEGO sets that feature Carnage including the new Carnage (76199) bust. The other sets are the Venom Crawler (76163) and Spider-Man and Ghost Rider vs. Carnage (76173) which have nothing to do with the movie but I assume will be more popular once the movie hit theaters on September 24.

LEGO Stranger Things 4 Teaser

May 7, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO is getting hyped up for Stranger Things 4 as they have recreated a scene from the trailer that dropped yesterday. The trailer itself was pretty confusing as it shows some kids inside some sort of institute playing with puzzles. There’s one short scene that shows a child stacking some blocks which LEGO has recreated showing a minifigure stacking some bricks. I’m not sure if LEGO is teasing some more LEGO Stranger Things sets or just getting in on the hype. I’m guessing the latter.

Currently there’s only one set based on the show which is The Upside Down (75810). There was also a Barb minifigure that was exclusive to SDCC 2019. Are you excited that the show is finally coming back soon after a short delay and seeing the kids grown up?

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) Rumored for June/July Release

May 6, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It doesn’t seem like it but it’s been a while since we’ve had a LEGO Ideas set release but we may get another one soon. There’s rumors that the LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) could be released in June or July with a price tag of $200. It is said to have 2,078 pieces and the main color scheme will be sand green. I guess the color is to resemble the typewriters from back in day which you can see on Ole Kirk Christiansen’s desk.

The LEGO Typewriter by Steve Guinness hit 10k supporters back in October 2019 and it was chosen as one of the winners in June 2020 so the set has been in development for quite a while. Keep in mind that there are still six other LEGO Ideas sets under development so LEGO does have their hands full trying to crank them out.

The First 2021 Review Stage has been set with a record 57 projects that hit the 10,000 supporter goal on LEGO Ideas. LEGO will have their hands full in choosing a winner for this stage and there will certainly be some backlash if only a couple are chosen from this massive list. There were actually 58 projects that hit the goal but the Stadium Tour one was removed due to it being based on intellectual properties after the new IP rules were put in place and not stated as so.

April 30, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s some sad news out of the LEGO games space as Arthur Parsons has left TT Games after 22 years. During his time there, he was their Head of Design and eventually Game Director on many LEGO games. He was pretty the face of LEGO games as he did many interviews on stream during the years talking about various games. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Arthur a few times during San Diego Comic Con and even did a roundtable interview for LEGO Dimensions way back in 2016.

Arthur worked on many LEGO projects at TT Games and some of them are currently available in the Humble Bundle LEGO Built to Bundle charity campaign which will end in seven days.

Good luck to Arthur on his future endeavors.

The LEGO Group Named TIME 100 Most Influential Companies

April 27, 2021 / / 0 Comments

TIME has released their first ever TIME 100 Most Influential Companies and The LEGO Group was one of the companies recognized for the honor. In the Innovators category, LEGO was named the most influential in fostering creativity. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, LEGO pushed forward with the Rebuild the World campaign to encourage kids and families to unlock their creativity by building.

During worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns, Lego creations have stacked up in homes with children. The company reported a 21% jump in sales, resulting from the immediate demand for in-home entertainment and the company’s pre-pandemic push to boost online sales globally. While its flagship product remains the classic brick, the 88-year-old family-owned company is evolving to recognize the diverse needs of young consumers with new offerings like Lego Braille Bricks and pandemic-inspired online content and hybrid learning resources. As families continue to hunker down, Lego love appears to be growing. “I have never gotten so many letters … [about] how important Lego play has been,” CEO Niels B. Christiansen tells TIME.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421) Review

April 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421)

In my other review of the new LEGO BrickHeadz Minions: The Rise of Gru sets, I have Belle Bottom, Kevin, and Bob (40421). The set has 309 pieces and also retails for $19.99.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421)

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421)

Belle Bottom seems to be the main antagonist in the movie. Not much is known about her but she does have on a disco style outfit. The main color scheme is magenta for the fur on the cape and at the bottom and purple for the rest of the body. There’s also a printed 1z2 brick for the chain that goes around the waist. Her afro hair is one of the more complex looking heads ever for the BrickHeadz line. It’s a little hard to see but she also wears some earrings.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421)

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Belle Bottom, Kevin and Bob (40421)

Kevin is one of the more taller minions. The outfit is the one also found in the Minions Kung Fu Battle (75550). The top half of the body is pretty much yellow with some black for the googles. The eyes use the 2×2 printed round tiles that have the BrickHeadz style. He is in an orange kung fu outfit that has a printed tile on the front. The hands also have printed 1×1 tiles of a stripe for the sleeves. I assume this is slightly copying Bruce Lee’s yellow jumpsuit from Game of Death. He has a pair of nunchucks for his accessory.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

Now available are a couple of new LEGO BrickHeadz sets based on the Minions: The Rise of Gru movie. The first set I want to take a look at is Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420). The set has 244 pieces and retails for $19.99.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

The Gru in this set is a younger version of the character where he wears a dark blue jacket with a gray scarf. The inside of him has a lot of Modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with studs on the side to allow detailing on all four sides. Gru’s head is actually quite detailed for being a BrickHeadz. The hairstyle is the side slicked one and it even has the cowlick on the back. The face is bland but it does have his recognizable pointy nose which is designated by a cheese slope.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

Stuart is a minion with an elongated body. He only has one eye and it is printed on a 2×2 round tile. The look of it is in the BrickHeadz style of eyes which is cool since it keeps it consistent with the rest of the line. There’s also a printed 1×3 tile for the pocket on the overall.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minions Gru, Stuart, and Otto (40420)

Otto seems to be a new minion and he has a more rounder body. Built similarly to Stuart, Otto has two printed eyes with the goggles going around the head. He also has a printed 1×4 tile for the overall pocket in the front. Otto also has an accessory which is the zodiac stone that Gru stole … Continue

LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures Rumored Characters

April 20, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There is now a rumored list of minifigures that will be in the upcoming LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures series. As mentioned before, it will be based on the Marvel Disney+ shows including WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and the What If..? and if you look at the list you’ll see why because some of them are very weird.

• Scarlet Witch
• White Vision
• Monica Rambeau
• Captain America (Sam Wilson)
• Bucky Barnes
• Loki (with Throg)
• Lady Loki
• Captain Britain (Peggy Carter)
• Zombie Captain America
• Star-Lord (T’Challa)
• Spider-Man (Steve Rogers)
• Thanos (Gamora)

As you can see, the minifigures aren’t exactly evenly distributed between the four shows as three are from WandaVision, two are from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, two are for Loki, and the last five are from the What If series. Again, these are purely rumors until LEGO reveals them so don’t get your hopes up too quickly.

Marvel has just dropped the official trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and we can finally see what the movie is about. Voiced by one of my favorite Hong Kong actors/singers, Tony Leung, who plays the real Mandarin, he talks about training Shang-Chi to fulfill his destiny. It didn’t really show any scenes that the LEGO sets are based on but I guess it’ll be worth the wait when we see it on screen. The movie drops on September 3 which will be the second movie for Phase 4 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Black Widow.

Is Luigi Coming to LEGO Super Mario?

April 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Super Mario was released last year and according to LEGO, it was one of the company’s most successful theme launches. The most notable thing that was missing from the theme was his brother, Luigi. I’ve been forward a few times of a tweet showing a video that could suggest Luigi might be coming to the theme in the future.

According to the video by Jay Phoenix (shown below), he turned on his Mario figure after a new update and you can hear Mario looking for Luigi. Of course, I tried it with my figure and it didn’t do it. In fact, the firmware update actually bugged out my Mario and the screens are all scrambled. Jay Phoenix mentioned that he put Mario on his back and propped him up after a few minutes.

Have you downloaded the latest update and did your Mario look for Luigi as well or did it function normally?

LEGO Ulysses Space Probe (5006744) Release Debacle

April 14, 2021 / / 0 Comments

This morning was the release of the LEGO Ulysses Space Probe (5006744) on the VIP Rewards Center and to say the least, it was a total disaster. LEGO marketed to be available at a specific time and pretty much all the launches around the world were as terrible as it could get. I knew LEGO IT was bad but this was doubly bad.

From the Terms of Service popup to the Rewards Center maintenance page, these errors didn’t help the situation at all. There are literally thousands of fans waiting to get this very limited set and only a handful of our readers were able to secure one. I posted a simple message on our social media pages at 6:14am PST that it was finally live here in the US and within minutes it was gone. People were hitting the aforementioned TOS and maintenance pages and had to keep refreshing. By the time they got through, it was already out of stock for most people.

It basically was a no-win situation for LEGO as someone will lose and in this case, it was the fans. For it being delayed during the Discovery release was disappointing but having a set time for a release instead of an unannounced drop was probably the nail in the coffin. It wasn’t really a surprise to me as I expected what happened today to happen.

Many took to social media to vent their frustrations and some even took to customer service to give their feedback and it looks like LEGO has … Continue

LEGO Recreates Hubble Space Telescope Pillars of Creation

LEGO RECREATES FAMOUS “PILLARS OF CREATION” IMAGE FROM THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE IN LEGO FORM

Inspirational 3D models to be displayed in over 150 LEGO Stores worldwide

14th April 2021: As part of the LEGO Go Beyond space campaign, images from the famous Hubble Space Telescope have been recreated in LEGO bricks and unveiled in 168 LEGO stores across the globe.

The campaign kicked off with the launch of the LEGO NASA® Space Shuttle Discovery last month, which features both the shuttle and famous Hubble Space Telescope.

Ideal for adult builders, the new set is a detailed recreation of the STS-31 mission which launched in 1990 and saw the Discovery space Shuttle and its five crew members launch the Hubble Space Telescope into the cosmos. Ever since, the Hubble Space Telescope has shared wondrous images of deep space, leading to breakthroughs in astrophysics and space exploration.

The LEGO Group has taken three variations of the famous Pillars of Creation image and recreated them as 20×20” multi-dimensional brick works of art in the style of bas-relief to feature in LEGO stores. Brick lovers will also be able to recreate their own versions at home, thanks to instructions hosted on LEGO.com/gobeyond.

The aptly named Pillars of Creation, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.

The adidas UltraBOOST DNA x LEGO Plates shoes dropped yesterday online and they pretty much was sold out in just a few minutes.

Now it looks like that adidas will be restocking it again online on Monday, May 3 at 7am PDT. There’s no word on how many pairs will be available but I’m guessing it won’t be that many.

Today, LEGO celebrates the 130th birthday of Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of the company. Ole jump started a company with wooden toys that would eventually evolve into our favorite building toy with the help of his son Godtfred.

For those who are still looking for the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292), the LEGO Shop now has it back in stock. The set came back last month but quickly went out of stock. I’ve seen some rumors online saying that this is one of the sets that could be retiring at the end of the year. I’m not sure how accurate that is but it puts the thought into minds of people who may have FOMO. Currently, there are no promotions running on the LEGO Shop but you do get 845 VIP points out of it. The Razor Crest is also available on Amazon if you like to shop on there.

Rumored LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) Based on Disney+ Shows

April 6, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Back in January, I reported that we could be getting a LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) series and many fans started wondering which characters we could be getting. There are new rumors reported by Just2Good from Instagram user 1414FalconFan that the series could be based on some of the Marvel Disney+ shows including WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and the What If..? series.

If rumors are true, this would be a very interesting series as WandaVision has lots of cool outfits for the characters. The Falcon and Winter Soldier ones could be bland but a Baron Zemo and Sharon Carter would be nice. For Loki, the green tuxedo with the Horned Helmet outfit could be possible. I don’t even want to speculate on the What If…? ones since there’s so many characters for that one. If Uatu/The Watcher is one of the minifigures, I’d be happy.

What do you guys think of these new rumors of the LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures? The series will probably be released in the fall when all four shows have aired on Disney+ already.

Former BrickLink Design Program Projects Sold by Clone Company

April 5, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday, I reported that a few projects on the BrickLink Designer Program had been withdrawn by the designer and archived and it looks like there’s a reason why. After I posted the article, I’ve gotten a lot of messages directing me to a German company called BlueBrixx that sells sets using clone bricks.

If you look at the products they have, the three projects that were on BrickLink are being sold there with reviews of them being up as late as last November. In addition, they are listed as authorized by RA-MT Brick Design which is Robert Bontenbal’s (RobenAnne) site. I’ve been told that he has a deal with BlueBrixx but I can’t confirm if that’s the reason why he has withdrawn the projects from BrickLink. LEGO technically owns BrickLink so working with a competitor isn’t really a good look.

Obviously, it’s disappointing to see that BrickLink won’t be able to produce the sets as many fans were wanting to add on to the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) but I guess Robert has to do what’s best for him.

RobenAnne Withdraws Projects from BrickLink Designer Program

The BrickLink Designer Program is well underway in the pre-production phase and recently there has been projects that have been removed from the program. Robert Bontenbal, aka RobenAnne, had three project running which were the Boat House Diner, Boat Repair Shop, and The Dive Shop but “due to other obligations,” he has withdrawn them. Bontenbal was also the fan designer for the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) and fans were excited in potentially adding some more buildings with the same aesthetic, but alas, we won’t be able to. There’s no other reasoning behind the withdrawl it but it’s disappointing.

Due to other obligations the designer has had to withdraw this design from the program. We hope that we will be able to work with the designer again in the future!

LEGO Space Logo Collectible Coin Sold Out

April 2, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Space Logo Collectible Coin in the Rewards Center was launched late Wednesday afternoon here in the US and it may be the fastest one to sell out from the four coins that have been released. Even at 1,150 VIP points, LEGO ran out of stock on it within a few hours.

Now that all four of the Classic themed coins have been released, fans are now trying to get the previous ones they may have missed. The Space one may be the hardest to get as “pre-orders” on the secondary market have already reached over $200 for it. I’m guessing it’ll drop to about $150 once people start to get their orders in and they lowball each other.

There’s still one coin left to collect next month which is the golden one that goes in the middle of the display case.

LEGO Ulysses Space Probe VIP Reward Delayed

Earlier today, we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO Ulysses Space Probe that’s supposed to be available in the VIP Rewards Center for 1,800 points. It looks like it won’t be happening as it has been delayed for an unspecified amount of time due to “unexpected circumstances.” This news comes out of the LEGO Ambassador Network and it certainly puts a damper on the release of the LEGO NASA Shuttle Discovery (10283). Although you don’t need to purchase the set to get the Ulysses, it does go well with it. We’ll give an update as soon there is more information about the release.

Due to unexpected circumstances, there is a delay in the release of the space probe VIP reward. We do hope that it will be available soon. As soon as more information is available, we will make sure that we let all our fans know!

LEGO Ulysses Space Probe VIP Rewards Center Item Revealed

March 31, 2021 / / 0 Comments

For those who get the newsletters, LEGO has revealed the exclusive Ulysses Space Probe that will launch aside the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283). This set isn’t your usual gift-with-purchase set but it will be available in the Rewards Center for 1,800 VIP points. The probe does come with its own display plaque as well.

Based on previous VIP reward items, stuff are usually added a little earlier so I suggest hitting up the Rewards Center a couple of hours ahead. I don’t expect the Ulysses Space Probe to be available for that long as there is a big demand for it based on early reactions.

At the beginning of the year, some building instructions revealed a new LEGO City Crooks Hideout (60278). There has been absolutely no information about it and it didn’t even release when we expected it but there is now an explanation for that. The reason is that the set has been officially cancelled due to LEGO not feeling that it is keeping with brand values.

With LEGO City, we always aim to represent the reality of the world in a way that is fun, positive and appropriate for kids. With this in mind, we have decided not to launch this product as we no longer feel it is in keeping with the values of the LEGO City brand.

LEGO Star Wars Life-Sized Helmet Teased in Designer Video?

March 22, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you watched the designer video for the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283), you may have seen a mysterious brick-built helmet in the background. Sitting on the back shelf behind Milan is a red helmet that looks very much like a Star Wars Rebel helmet. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the items on display and there are four shots in the video at different angles to give a good look at it. One particular moment at 3:10 where Nico steps back to show off it a bit more, somewhat saying “look at that helmet”. We already know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers and Easter eggs in their videos and sets and this is a space-themed video. I’m going making a giant leap and saying that it could be a prototype of a new LEGO Star Wars life-size helmet line similar to the Hasbro Black Series helmets.

As you can see from the images, the helmet is solid red with a white stripe down the middle and some stripes on the side. There’s even some flaps in the front for the visor. I can’t find a reference to who wears a solid red helmet in that style. All I found was something similar for John D’s Red 4 X-Wing but it doesn’t look like it. What do you guys think that helmet is about?

GO BEYOND WITH THE NEW LEGO® NASA SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY SET

22nd March 2021: Launching today, the incredible new LEGO® NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set brings the wonder of space exploration back home! Ideal for adult builders, the new set is a detailed recreation of the STS-31 mission launched in April 1990 and saw the orbiter Discovery and its five crew members deploy the Hubble Space Telescope into the cosmos. Ever since, Hubble has shared wondrous images of deep space, leading to breakthroughs in astrophysics and space exploration.

The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is made up of 2,354 pieces and is amazingly detailed in true reflection of its full-size counterpart, complete with functional landing gear, and payload bay doors that open one after the other. The doors also feature reflective stickers to mimic the cooling radiators found on the real shuttle orbiter.

At the rear of Discovery is housed the three main engines used for launch into orbit. These are flanked on either side of the tail by smaller engines designed for in-orbit maneuvers and for de-orbit and re-entry into the atmosphere at the end of the mission. The flight control surfaces on the back edge of the wings and tail then are used to control roll, pitch and yaw as an airplane

The lanyards features the Party Llama head on the front and a lenticular print of it shaking the maracas. Another lanyard added to my large collection of lanyards.

The LEGO VIDIYO Welcome Pack is just something fun to get kids into the theme.

People have been getting their orders the past few days and they ship out from Germany. If you didn’t get yours yet, keep an eye out for it.

LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) Temporarily Sold Out

March 18, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you hesitated on getting the LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) when it dropped last night, it looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer to get it as it has temporarily sold out on the LEGO Shop. In addition, all of the limited edition prints on the Rewards Center have also sold out as well. I knew the set would be popular but didn’t expect it to sell out in less than 12 hours. The general release is April 1 but I’m not sure if LEGO will have any stock by then. If you have a local LEGO Brand Store, I would suggest checking with them to see if they have any left.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship First Details Revealed

March 18, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Over a year ago, LEGO announced that the Republic Gunship will become an upcoming LEGO Star Wars UCS set and after that, there have absolutely been no news about until today. There was a roundtable with LEGO Star Wars designers and Fan Media which I couldn’t attend but Brickset has the scoop on what we can expect for it.

The UCS Republic Gunship is designed by Hans Burkhard Schlömer and it will finally be released this year. The cockpit consists of two 10x4x3 cockpit elements “positioned end-to-end.” They speculate the length of the ship will be about 50cm-55cm and it was said that a small coffee table will be needed to display the set. It was also said that Jedi Bob will not be included in the set, bummer.

Hearing what was set about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship, what do think about it so far?

BrickLink Designer Program: 2021 Invitational Officially Begins

March 17, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has officially kicked off the BrickLink Designer Program: 2021 Invitational where you can see the rejected LEGO Ideas 10k projects that are being considered to be released on the BrickLink platform. There are 27 members who have agreed to accept the invitation and there are 31 projects to be considered. Projects that are IP-based were not invited to participate.

The designs are currently in the pre-production phase and the designers will have to meet the program requirements and pass the test building before May 31 to be considered for crowdfunding. Once the projects reach this phase, the first 13 to reach the crowdfunding goal will become BrickLink Designer Program sets. The projects that don’t hit the goal will be sold as digital building instructions only.

KICKING OFF THE BRICKLINK DESIGNER PROGRAM: 2021 INVITATIONAL

Today we’re excited to share the next steps in the collaboration between LEGO Ideas and BrickLink via the BrickLink Designer Program: 2021 Invitational.

As communicated in December 2020, we planned to invite a selection of LEGO Ideas members and their 10K Club submissions to participate in the pilot program, the purpose being to realize more of the amazing fan designs that are submitted to LEGO Ideas.

The result has been that 27 members have agreed to participate with 31 10K Club projects. We’re thrilled at the response we got from the invited members with almost 100% of the invited members deciding to accept our invitation.

The designers are already very busy at work on their designs in the “pre-production” phase. In

LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) Release Delayed

March 16, 2021 / / 0 Comments

For those who are excited to pick up the LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) when it goes live on March 18, we’ve been told that the set will be delayed a bit on release day. Normally, new sets go live at midnight EST/9pm PST here in North America but it will be delayed for one hour for some reason. Just be prepared when you don’t see it going live at the normal scheduled time as it affects all time zones around the world. We already seen something similar happen with the Easter Bunny’s Carrot House (40449) promo when it didn’t go live until five hours after it was supposed to, at least in NA.

Update: Someone mentioned this and I think this is the reason. Delaying the release essentially means that you won’t be able to double up on the Amelia Earhart Tribute and the Easter Bunny Carrot House promotions online, even if it was a small window to get both.

Toys R Us Making Another Comeback

March 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It looks like Toys R Us will be making another comeback this year as CNBC is reporting that WHP Global has acquired Tru Kids, the parent company of Toys R Us, Babies R Us, and Geoffrey the Giraffe brands. It’s actually been three years since Toys R Us closed but they are planning to open stores again ahead of the holiday season. I’m not really counting the two pop-up stores that opened in Texas and New Jersey in 2019 which also closed down in January due to COVID-19. It was reported that that the new stores will be in various formats including flagships, pop-ups, airport locations and mini stores inside other retailers. There’s no word yet on how many locations will be opening at the start.

Hopefully the new owners will be able to pick up the piece of what Toys R Us used to be. If you’re new to The Brick Fan, many of you don’t know that I used to work at TRU right when this site was in its infant stages and I used to stock the LEGO aisle at my store. I eventually got transferred to Babies R Us and I stayed there until everything closed back in 2018 here in the US. There are still many TRU stores open around the world which still have LEGO exclusives, mainly in the Asian countries. Hopefully TRU and LEGO can continue their partnership once stores are running smoothly.

LEGO has released a new clip of the upcoming season of LEGO Ninjago: The Island featuring the Jungle Dragon. Looking at the set itself, it doesn’t show much about the dragon but the clip shows it being somewhat derpy and having a personality of a dog while playing with Lloyd. The unsuspecting Islanders don’t know what to expect when the Jungle Dragon plays fetch with a coconut.

LEGO VIDIYO Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107) Review

March 14, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO VIDIYO Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107)

The LEGO VIDIYO theme officially launched at the beginning of the month to mixed reactions. From the cryptic teasers and announcement that really didn’t show much of the products to extremely bad reviews of the companion app, it doesn’t bode well for this partnership with Universal Music Group. I purchased the Hiphop Robot BeatBox (43107) just to see how everything works together and offer my opinion whether to purchase it or not. Keep in mind that the BeatBox sets cost $19.99 each.

LEGO VIDIYO Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107)

LEGO VIDIYO Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107)

I chose the Hiphop Robot BeatBox simply because the helmet/hair piece reminded me of Daft Punk and the iconic helmet they wear. The torso has printing that shows some a USB cable wrapped around the neck. The legs have some circuit board printing going down to some microchips. Attached on the back are some extra arms for accessories including a microphone. The head is robotic gray and the most inter sting piece for me is the helmet/hair piece that shows a graphic equalizer.

LEGO VIDIYO Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107)

Each of the BeatBox set comes with a container that has some headphones going around it. The back of it has unique designs to the specific character and this one looks like a boombox or a robotic face. The other designs are a spray can and a wrench. When you pull it out, there are two parts to this area. One is the stage where the Hiphop Robot goes and surrounding him are 12 BeatBits that you use to scan into the app. Inside the white case are slots to store … Continue

March 14, 2021 / / 0 Comments

In the second episode of the LEGO Rebuild the World Creators series, actor and singer Billy Porter teams up with a couple of kids to build something creative or the campaign. Together, they design a crown that express their personalitites and promoting self-love. Check out the video below.

Billy Porter teams up with kids to build a red carpet look in celebration of self-expression

• The second in a new series of four films sees stage, screen and fashion icon Billy Porter showcase his new red carpet look inspired by self-love, happiness….and two children!
• Each film explores the importance of play and creativity and debuts new work from world-renowned creators, inspired by the creativity of children
• The films follow the creators’ process as they explore the unlimited creative possibilities that can be unlocked through LEGO® play

Billund, Thursday 11th March: Fabulous fashionista, musician and award-winning actor Billy Porter has revealed his latest red-carpet creation, a showstopping rainbow LEGO® crown inspired by the unlimited imagination of two new muses…siblings Clint and Josey.

In the new film released today by the LEGO Group as part of the Rebuild the World campaign, the creator famed for his killer red carpet looks gives viewers a glimpse into his design process. In a first for Billy, he called on the creative superpowers of kids to help inspire his most ambitious headpiece yet.

LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) Promotion Extended

March 13, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It looks like the promotion for the LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) has been extended for a few days for those last minute shoppers. The promotion was initially set to end tomorrow night but if you look on the Offers & Sale page at the bottom, you’ll see that it will now end on March 17 instead. LEGO may have over-produced this set just a little bit even though the hype for it was decent enough to think it would sell out quickly.

Note that the promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny’s Carrot House (40449) will start on March 12 so you’ll be able to get both promo sets at the same time with a $100 purchase.

There’s a tighter window when the LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) set launches on March 18. You may have at chance to still get both promos if you purchase right at midnight. It all depends on if the programming was done correctly to remove the Amelia Earhart set on time at that time. We shall see.

LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) Mel Caddick Interview

March 6, 2021 / / 0 Comments

In something new that LEGO has started doing on the Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450), they have done an interview with designer Mel Caddick about the set. She goes into detail on her approach on creating the Lockheed 5B Vega. hopefully LEGO continues with these types of interviews for future promo sets as well.

The Amelia Earhart Tribute is now available for free with purchases of $100 or more on the LEGO Shop until March 14, while supplies last.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we spoke with Mel Caddick, the LEGO® designer behind our cool new Amelia Earhart Tribute set!

Question: How would you describe Amelia Earhart? What does she represent to you?

Answer: Amelia Earhart was a great icon, a pioneer and an author. As the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic, she was clearly very adventurous and determined and I think her story inspires anyone who wishes to pursue their dreams.

Amelia Earhart taught us that passions, aspirations and courage know no gender – a legacy not passed on by many, and for that I think we found the perfect personality to celebrate for 2021 International Women’s Day.

Question: What inspired you to create this model?

Answer: We were inspired by Amelia Earhart’s groundbreaking achievement of being the first woman to do a Transatlantic solo flight. The red Lockheed 5B Vega was the plane in 1932 that she used to cross the Atlantic alone. Naturally, this was the perfect model to represent her achievements.

Question: What did you want people to
