LEGO Partners with Unity for New LEGO Microgame

LEGO has announced that they have partnered up with Unity for a new LEGO Microgame. LEGO Games is celebrating their 25th anniversary and they have teamed up with Unity which is the world’s leading 3D content development platform to bring you a new game that you can create using virtual bricks. You will also be able to import your creations that are built in BrickLink Studio to the game as well. No prior coding experience is needed as it takes you through the steps of creating your game and sharing it in less than 45 minutes. Check out the press release of LEGO Microgame below.

If there’s one thing that LEGO Games and the world’s leading 3D content development platform, Unity, can agree on, it’s that creativity comes in all forms – whether it’s bringing your creation to life with LEGO® bricks or adding lines of code to develop a video game. Game development can be intimidating for some, but Unity helps lower this obstacle with its series of Microgames – guided experiences designed to get new users working in the Unity Editor quickly and easily.

On October 26, Unity will release its first-ever Microgame created with LEGO Games. For some, the thought of taking your first steps into the world of video game creation can be overwhelming, but with the new LEGO Microgame, fans can use the familiar LEGO System in Play to help them construct their first game experience.

LEGO Hidden Side El Fuego's Stunt Cannon (30464)

Starting in a few days on October 26, LEGO will have a new promotion for the LEGO Hidden Side El Fuego’s Stunt Cannon (30464) polybag. It has 46 pieces and you will be able to get it for free with purchases of $35 or more in stores and on the LEGO Shop, while supplies last.


LEGO Hidden Side El Fuego's Stunt Cannon (30464)

The polybag features El Fuego in his skeleton form with his red stunt helmet. The Stunt Cannon itself is mostly an engine turbine that uses a push function to launch El Fuego. The turbine is on a hinge so you can angle it at various trajectories.

LEGO Hidden Side El Fuego's Stunt Cannon (30464)

Overall, the LEGO Hidden Side El Fuego’s Stunt Cannon (30464) is an alright polybag for $35. It’s not too flashy but it’s not too boring either. The promotion will run for until November 1, just in time for Halloween but if you order online, you probably won’t get it in time for Halloween.

The LEGO Group Doesn’t Support JK Rowling’s Views

The LEGO Harry Potter theme has been extremely popular in the LEGO community but there has also been backlash with the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, regarding things she have said on social media. Fan on social media have asked if JK Rowling has any influence on the LEGO Harry Potter sets which in turn could turn off fans from purchasing any if she does. LEGO’s PR Department has given a response for this issue which you can see below.

There is no place for discrimination in our society. Our mission is to inspire the builders of tomorrow, and that includes inspiring them to be empathetic, kind and inclusive both through our products and our learning through play programmes.

Our partnership to create Wizarding World sets is with Warner Bros, not JK Rowling. Warner Brothers receives the royalty fees from the sales of LEGO Harry Potter sets. You will need to contact Warner Brothers directly to ask them how they distribute these funds.

Since Diversity and Inclusion are a focus for us, we also work with non-profit organisations that support LGBTQ+ children. In Connecticut we have donated to TRUE COLORS, a non-profit organisation that works with social service agencies, schools, organisations and within communities to ensure that the needs of sexual and gender minority youth are both recognised and competently met.

UK we are also working with Diversity Role Models, an organisation that helps to educate all children about the importance of inclusion and empathy for all.; and Albert Kennedy Trust, an organisation that provides

How to Check if You’ve Won the LEGO DC Fandome Supergirl Minifigure

A few days ago, I mentioned that the LEGO DC Fandome Supergirl was shipping out to winners and we finally have some details to see if you’ve actually won. I’ve been told that the minifigures are shipping out of Las Vegas, Nevada. One easy way to check to see if you have a package coming is to use USPS Informed Delivery. This service is free and it’ll let you see mail and packages that are coming in the mail and their expected delivery dates. For Supergirl, you’ll get a package from a place called SHIPPO which is a shipping software that DC used to mail out the minifigure. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up but I’ve been told by a few people that this is a way to check if you’ve won.

LEGO Vidiyo – LEGO/UMG Partnership Theme Rumored Details

Way back in April, LEGO announced a new partnership with Universal Music Group for new products coming out next year. There are now rumors that the theme will be called LEGO Vidiyo and these sets will be centered around creating music videos.

These sets will feature cube style boxes with music-type minifigures or minidolls. The sets will have printed 2×2 album cover tiles that can be scanned using your phone to reveal a whole interactive experience such as playing music, adding visual effects, and creating music videos.

The LEGO Vidiyo sets are reported to be released in March and the sets are priced at €19.99 with an accessory set priced at €4.99.

This new theme sounds pretty interesting and I’m intrigued to see how they all turn out. As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

Originally priced at $199.99, there is a Prime exclusive deal for 33% off which brings it down to $134.29 with Prime shipping and that is the lowest price it has been at. If you have been thinking about getting this set but thought it was a bit on the expensive side, you may want to look at this deal which goes on for another 37 hours or until they run out.

Amazon Prime Day 2020 is now live with deals on a ton of stuff on the site. The most important things for us are the LEGO sets that you can find that are decently discounted from the normal retail price.

LEGO Star Wars Russian Gift Box Contents Revealed

A few days ago, we talked about a mystery LEGO Star Wars Gift Box that showed up online at a Russian LEGO Certified Store and it looks like the items have been revealed. The Holo-Brick Archives has gotten details of a list of the items that are reported to be included in the gift box.

• The Mandalorian and The Child (75317)
• LEGO Darth Vader Notebook with Invisible Pen (52224/4895028522247)
• First Order Stormtrooper (40391)
• Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition (40333)
• Death Star II Battle (40407)
• R3-M2 (40268)
• Monthly Mini Model Build UFO (40330)
• Monthly Mini Model Build UFO (40129)
• Darth Vader Keychain (4638338)

As you can see, all of the items on the list have been previously released before which includes some exclusive May the 4th sets. After knowing these items, the mystery LEGO Star Wars Gift Box is still a decent one for the price (6,499 rubles) if you don’t have these items in your collection. Outside of the box itself, there’s nothing too special about it. There’s no word if it will be available elsewhere in the world.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored to be Reducing Characters to 12

A few months ago, a source told me that the next series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be changing and there’s some more fire to that rumor. Starting in Jaunary with Series 21 (71029), the number of minifigures included in the set is rumored to be dropping down to only 12 and it looks like StoneWars has also gotten wind of it as well. I’m not sure why the decrease of minifigs for the set but they’ll be somewhat easier to collect.

StoneWars also is reporting that LEGO will be offering full boxes of 36 minifigures as well as 72 minifigures. If you notice the numbers, these new boxes will hold three and six complete sets, respectively. The pricing will stay the same at $4.99 each.

What do you guys think of this change? Is it better that we’re getting less minifigures and not paying as much to get a complete set? As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V (92176) Relaunch First Look

Last month, LEGO confirmed that some retired LEGO Ideas will be relaunching with new set numbers and we now have a first look at the LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V (92176). Alzashop has posted a product page for the set and it includes images of the new box with the updated set number. The Saturn V has the same number of pieces with 1,969 and it still lists it as a LEGO Ideas set. The box itself seems to be a little flatter and wider than the original one but that seems to be the only change between the two.

The LEGO Group’s Julia Goldin Named World’s 6th Most Influential CMO

Last week, Forbes released their list for the Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers of 2020 and The LEGO Group’s Julia Goldin was named 6th highest in the world. For 2020, there were 427 CMOs that were considered and to be eligible, the person or their brand must have appeared on at least one major brand list. To enter to the top 50, “a CMO must be in the top 20% of CMOs on at least three different indicators of personal, industry or internal influence, or show extraordinary impact visibility on the conversation around Covid-19 or Black Lives Matter.”

Goldin and her team launched #letsbuildtogether to create a sense of connection among children isolated by the pandemic lockdown and support their parents.

New York Toy Fair 2021 Delayed to May

It was announced a few days ago that the New York Toy Fair for 2021 has been pushed back to May. It was supposed to be in February but due to uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Toy Association thought it was best to delay the event for a few more months.

New York Toy Fair is usually the time when we see some of the new LEGO sets for the upcoming summer. LEGO changed that last year as we didn’t really see much new products but only for a select few. With everything that’s been going on, I have a feeling that LEGO will do something similar and possibly doing their own reveals due to the shifted timeline.

Note that it is only one set that qualifies for double points for October which is strange since we’ve been getting two sets every month for a while now.

LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage Winner Announced

After a long review, LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage which consisted of 26 projects. The winning project is the Earth Globe by Guillaume Roussel (Disneybrick55). The build features a buildable globe that you can use for educational purposes.

In addition, the Sonic Mania – Green Hill Zone is still being considered as a possible set but LEGO needs further review on it. Considering that Sonic has crossed over to Nintendo, it’s possible that the set will be under the Nintendo umbrella.

After the review, there are however, 24 projects that were rejected. This review stage was the largest during the time until the Second 2020 Review Stage even more with 35. LEGO fans were hoping that more projects would pass but it didn’t work out that way.

LEGO also did a Music to our Ears contest to build something musical and the winner of that contest was the Legendary Stratocaster by TOMOELL. This build will also become an official LEGO Ideas set as well.

LEGO Supports BIONICLE: Quest for Mata Nui Fan Made Game

If you’re a fan of the LEGO BIONICLE theme, you may have known about a fan made open world game called BIONICLE: Quest for Mata Nui and LEGO has finally acknowledged it and are supportive of it. CrainyCreations, who has been developing it for six years, has been in contact with The LEGO Group and LEGO Games to discuss the future of the game. The game itself is set in the world of LEGO BIONICLE and it “retells the 2001 story of the Toa Mata’s quest for the Kanohi Masks of Power, culminating in their battle against Makuta.”

As many fans are aware, there is a fan made BIONICLE game 6 years in the making that was announced a few months ago. Recently the creator of the game made a statement online about speaking directly to TLG. I can confirm that CrainyCreations has been in touch with TLG. Statement below:

A message from LEGO Games:

“We can confirm CrainyCreations, the creators behind “Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui”, was in dialog with us (i.e. LEGO Games) to discuss the future plans of the game including ways the project can continue to exist. We see game development as an exciting opportunity to add new way to engage with the LEGO brick. In the LEGO Games team, we are always looking for ways to inspire and encourage the fan community including a recently BETA launched LEGO Microgame in partnership with Unity. Perhaps this can help give others the tools to do what CrainyCreations has done by encouraging and making

ToySphere Launches New Way to Shop for LEGO

There’s a new service that has recently launched that is a new way to explore and shop for LEGO called ToySphere. What it basically does is that it takes all the LEGO themes and puts theme into “spheres” to give you a visual way to see all of the sets that have been released in a particular theme from the last decade. By zooming in on a certain item, you can either check out the description or purchase it off the LEGO Shop or on the secondary market if it’s retired.

LEGO Super Mario Toad’s Special Hideaway (77907) Revealed

A few months ago, I reported that there was a LEGO Super Mario Toad’s Special Hideaway (77907) set that was supposed to be sold as San Diego Comic Con. Unfortunately, SDCC didn’t happen and we were left wondering what would happen to the set and it looks like there’s some info about it.

According to jamiebricks on Instagram and Cool.lego_pics, the set is being sold at a LEGOLAND Discovery Center for $19.99. The set has 120 pieces and is a cheaper way to get the Toad minifigure which was previous exclusive to the Toad’s Treasure Hunt Expansion Set (71368). There’s no word on where it will be available but I assume it’ll go up on LEGO Shop@Home at a later date along with the other SDCC 2020 exclusive sets.

LEGO Winter Village Elf Club House (10275) Q&A with Chris McVeigh

The new LEGO Winter Village Elf Club House (10275) was announced yesterday and it was revealed that AFOL Chris McVeigh was the LEGO designer for the set. If you remember, Chris used to create a lot of festive builds and the Elf Club House is the perfect thing for him to design as his very first Winter Village set. LEGO has done a short interview with Chris where he gives some details about the set and what helped him along the way.


Q: What was your inspiration for the LEGO Elf Clubhouse?

I thought it would be great fun to explore the world of Santa’s Elves. Where do they go after a hard day’s work making toys? What do they do for fun? Do they give gifts to each other for Christmas? In terms of architecture, the set was inspired by both alpine chalets and Tudor-style homes, with a dash of Christmas magic for good measure.

Q: What is your favorite element of this set?

The reindeer, which is all-new with this set! I like to call her Brixen.

Q: Are there any Easter eggs or interesting designing anecdotes you can tell us about the set?

Before working for LEGO, I was known for building old computers out of LEGO bricks. So, I thought it would be a fun nod to my past to include a small brick-build computer in this set.

Q: How do you find your inspiration for the holiday sets?

Christmas has always been a special time of year for my family and … Continue

LEGO Harry Potter Rumored 2021 Set Details

The LEGO Harry Potter theme will be returning for another wave and there now rumors of sets that will be coming out early 2021. There will be four regular sets and one for the LEGO Art theme. The sets will be based on buildable textbooks featuring each of the Hogwarts Houses and will have various.

Gryffindor Textbook with Transformation Class (76382)

New LEGO City Road System Rumored for 2021

You may have seen this on social media but in case you haven’t yet, there is a rumor that LEGO will be using a new road system for City layouts. Currently, a majority of builders are using the road plates but there is speculation that the new system will be built using tile pieces on a baseplate.

Obviously using this new road system (60304) will be challenging due to the fact that the roads will be taller than the usual road plates and it won’t be compatible with the modular builds as well. LEGO did say something about the new LEGO City road system:

We reached out to the LEGO City team yesterday about this to determine if it is a rumor or a leak. Understanding how prevalent and widely used road baseplates are by AFOLs, it is like that if a change coming, there is likely an explanation or thoughts on why a change like this would happen. Lets see what LEGO City has to say but then again, this could be months before they planned to announce something so it could take some time.

Right now, the existing road plates are on sale at Amazon at slightly discounted prices if you want to stock up in case LEGO is indeed switching over next year.

Straight and T-junction (60236) – $13.76/8% off
Curve and Crossroad (60237) – $11.99/20% off

LEGO Confirms Retired LEGO Ideas Sets Relaunching With New Set Numbers

A few days ago, there were rumors of some recently retired LEGO Ideas sets that would be coming back but with different set numbers. The two sets are the NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) and the Ship in a Bottle (21313). Word has it that they were very popular and would be coming back with set numbers 92176 and 92177, respectively.

LEGO has confirm that those two particular sets will be relaunching and have also given a short statement of why they will be doing it. Note that the agreements with the two fan designers will remain the same and they will still get royalties from the sales.

From the LEGO Ideas team:

The two sets are being re-launched due to popular demand, and as they had already left the market, we could not keep the original numbers. The agreements with the Fan Designers remain unchanged.

Also: one of the new set numbers matches a fan designer’s birthday. They were both very involved in the process.

LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) Minifigures Review

The LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) releases in a few days but we have a chance to get an early look at it. Since there are a whopping 21 minifigures in the set, I’ll be splitting up the review for the minifigures themselves and the build. It has been a while since we had a LEGO set that contains so many minifigures but is it a good selection? I’ll be going through them as they appear in the instructions.

LEGO DC FanDome Supergirl Minifigure Sweepstakes Didn’t Happen?

It’s been a couple of weeks since the first DC FanDome event was held online and there were some sweepstakes that were held including one for the LEGO DC Supergirl minifigure. As of this post, I haven’t seen one announcement for the drawing or any potential winners on social media saying they won. The official rules state that the drawing would occur within approximately five business days after the drawing entry period which ended on August 23. It has already been 15 business days since and not a peep from anyone. Was this a scam and people wasted most of their time trying to enter the contest?

Potential winner(s) for each Drawing will be selected in a random drawing by Sponsor’s designated representative from among all eligible entries received for the applicable Drawing during the applicable Drawing Entry Period. The drawings will occur within approximately five (5) business days after the end of the applicable Drawing Entry Period. Decisions of the Sponsor are final on all matters relating to each Drawing and the Campaign, including interpretation of these Official Rules, determination of the winners, and awarding of the prizes.

LEGO Monkie Kid Season One Completed

It has been announced by LEGO Monkie Kid producer Vicky Kjaer Jensen that season one of the show is now complete. There’s still no word yet on when it will air here in the US but you can still find the first two episodes on YouTube. It’s a pretty interesting show and the animation studio is Flying Bark Productions which is the same one that did Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I assume it’ll be airing on Cartoon Network since all the LEGO shows are on there.

LEGO x Levi’s Collection Officially Announced

LEGO has officially announced their partnership with Levi’s for a clothing line collection. This collaboration features a variety of clothing including a jacket, hoodie, sweater, shirt, and jeans. There’s also plenty of accessories to go along with the look including a cap, beanie, bags, and a fanny pack.

LEGO Group x Levi’s®

Wearable Art. Celebrating Limitless Imagination.

Who doesn’t love LEGO® bricks? And who doesn’t have a fond LEGO memory from their childhood (or even adulthood)? Whether you build from instructions, or dream up something from your imagination, LEGO building is the ultimate platform for creative experimentation and development.

And of course, no one loves creativity and playfulness — as well as infinite customizability — more than Levi’s®. Which is exactly why the two iconic brands have teamed up for a special Levi’s® and LEGO Group collection.

“This is such a fun collaboration celebrating self-expression, creativity and nostalgia,” says Karyn Hillman, Chief Product Officer for Levi Strauss & Co. “It’s Levi’s® and the LEGO Group coming together to co-create something really special and new, but undeniably

LEGO x Adidas A-ZX First Look

Last week, LEGO did a teaser for their upcoming collaboration with Adidas for the A-ZX series of shoes. HighSnobiety was sent an early pair of the shoes to take a look at and they don’t look that bad.

The packaging comes in LEGO 2×3 brick box but the inner box looks to be a custom box to HighSobiety so you probably won’t get that when you order it. The shoe itself is mostly gray with accents of blue, green, red, and yellow which are LEGO’s basic colors.

There’s no word on a release date but it should be some time later this month at select retailers and at Adidas.com. It was also stated the price point could be between $120-$130 but that was just a guess. Who’s looking forward to picking up a pair?

LEGO Releases Statement on Surge of Projects Achieving 10,000 Supporters on LEGO Ideas

LEGO has given a statement on the recent surge of projects that are hitting 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Should they change the way LEGO Ideas works whether it being upping the supporter threshold or decrease the timeframe needed to reach 10k?

Since the amount of projects have doubled to tripled the amount we usually get, LEGO has contributed this to the free time people have online due to COVID-19. The trend is still too early too see whether it will continue or not so they will not be making any changes to LEGO Ideas at this time but they are planning changes for the long term. This includes addressing the current trends along with realizing more AFOL project designs while being mindful of what LEGO Ideas is supposed to be.

Over the past six months, we have read a growing number of comments from the fan community related to the significant growth of product ideas reaching 10,000 supporters. A lot of those comments ask the same thing. Is it time for change on LEGO Ideas? Should we increase the supporter threshold, decrease the timeframe or change something else altogether?

The last two review periods have shown an invigorated interest in LEGO Ideas product idea submissions. We’ve gone from averaging about 10-12 product ideas in each review phase to seeing 26 and 35 product ideas, respectively, in the last review phases. A significantly leap.

We want to let you know that we’re aware that this increase is occurring. We’re also aware that this significant increase has

Thirty Five Projects Qualify for LEGO Ideas Second 2020 Review Stage

The deadline to enter the LEGO Ideas Second 2020 Review Stage has passed and there were a whopping 35 projects that qualified for it. This breaks the record set last review stage with 26. If you’ve followed my posts, I gave an update on each one that qualified and I’ve even missed a couple because it got really hard trying to keep up with it.

There is a variety of licensed and non-licensed projects so LEGO will have their hands full trying to critique each one to see if they will become an official LEGO Ideas set. Since there are so many projects that qualified, nine more than last time, hopefully more will pass than the accustomed two or three we usually get every review stage. Which one(s) do you think will pass?

LEGO Ideas Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Course Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Course by The Real Ashnflash is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you played video games during the past few weeks, Fall Guys has been one of the most, if not, popular games online. The most amusing part for me was watching TimTheTatMan trying to win his first crown. The build is a race course comprised of various sections that you can find in the game and it also proposed a number of Fall Guys as well.

LEGO Harry Potter VIP Reward Center Signed Sets

A few days ago, LEGO put some items up on the LEGO VIP Reward Center and they were items that were actually worthy of being collector’s items. To celebrate the release of the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978), there were some signed Harry Potter sets signed by James and Oliver Phelps who played Fred and George Weasley in the movies.

The sets included the Attack of the Burrow (75980), Hedwig (75979), Hogwarts Astronomy Tower (75969), and Hogwarts Express (75955) and the points needed to get them ranged from 7,800 to 16,800. Not surprisingly, all of them are now sold out since many people have been hoarding points and waiting for something good to show up. Those who were at the right place at the right time were able to get them easily since LEGO really didn’t announce it and I’m okay with that. I can also see the other side of the coin where fans who wanted the items weren’t able to get it because they didn’t know about it. I actually didn’t know about it someone pointed it out to me.

I believe this this the first time that LEGO has offered an item of substantial amount and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last time they do it so keep an eye out on major releases to see if they added anything new.

LEGO BrickHeadz Hagrid & Buckbeak (40412) Sold Out on Shop@Home

It’s not really a surprise but the LEGO BrickHeadz Hagrid & Buckbeak (40412) gift with purchase two pack is now sold out on LEGO Shop@Home. It actually sold out halfway through the day on the 1st and that’s pretty fast considering the fairly high threshold needed to get it. Obviously, getting Diagon Alley (75978) was the easiest way to get one since you needed $100 purchase of LEGO Harry Potter products. LEGO Brand Stores could potentially still have some left but chances are pretty slim. Currently, it is going for about $40-$50 on the secondary market which is a bummer if you missed out on it.

LEGO Winter Village 2020 Elf Club House (10275) First Look

The set has 1,197 pieces and according to the post, will be available on September 23. The image is fairly small and not very clear but you can see a house for the elves along with a brick-built Christmas Tree and a new reindeer pulling a sleigh. There’s also four elves included but it’s hard to see if they’re new or not. Like with a majority of the Direct-to-Consumer sets this year, the set is listed as one of the 18+ sets.

It also lists the set as a September 16 release so the official announcement of it should be coming really soon. Although this is a “leak” and the post has been deleted, we are allowed to share it since it came from LEGO themselves.

AT&T Scraps Sale of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

A few months ago, it was reported that AT&T was looking to sell off Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment but it looks like it won’t be anytime soon. Bloomberg has reported that AT&T has decided not to sell the gaming division after they found it too valuable to sell at this time. There are still a few big games in development that could potentially boost sales including a Harry Potter RPG game as well as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

LEGO BrickHeadz Universal Monsters Frankenstein (40422) First Look

Brickset has given a first look at a brand new set from the LEGO BrickHeadz Universal Monsters line. They have done a review on Frankenstein (40422) which is actually based on Frankenstein’s Monster. The build is monochrome in color similar to the black and white movies of the era.

The box doesn’t show any other Universal Monsters but I can expect there will be a number of them based on the classic characters including Dracula, The Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolfman, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. It was stated that Frankenstein will be available starting on September 15.

LEGO Participating in Batman Day on September 19

A short while ago, DC Comics announced Batman Day will be happening on September 19 and it looks like there will be some LEGO related things happening during the event. According to the press release, LEGO will be releasing exclusive Batman products to celebrate the day. There’s no word on what they will be but there’s a rumor going around of a new UCS style 1989 Batwing. LEGO could either announce it then or release it on that day with the announcement being a few days/weeks before. They could also do an event exclusive similar to the DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) or another minifigure giveaway. Of course this is all speculation and we’ll have to wait and see what LEGO has in store.

The foundation is the global leader in a circular economy which is a system that is aimed to eliminating waste and the continual use of resources.

Ellen MacArthur Foundation and LEGO Group join forces to accelerate the move towards a circular economy

The shared ambition for the membership is to help build a better planet for future generations by driving the global transition towards a circular society.

The three year membership will focus on four key areas; working with the Foundation’s network of businesses, experts and policymakers to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, inspiring circular design across the toy industry and beyond, expanding the circular services and products the LEGO Group offers, and teaching children about the circular economy through play.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Shipping Confirmations Being Sent Out

For those who ordered the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) on Shop@Home, LEGO is now sending out shipping confirmations for the set. I had a few comments come in saying that the status of the set went to “out of stock” and were worried that their order may have been cancelled. I also had the same thing happen to me but I’m happy to see that it was just a minor glitch in the system. If you missed out on it, Target is still selling it but you will need a RedCard to purchase it.

LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71028) Series 2 Box Distribution Completely Random

The Series 2 LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71028) officially releases in a few days but if you’re planning to purchase a full box, there’s a warning that you should know about. Usually we can expect three complete sets per box for a particular series, but things have changed for this wave. There are multiple reviews online now and we can pretty much confirm that the box distribution is completely random.

Some fan media sites like Brickset and Promobricks has opened full boxes and what they got were very different from each other. For example, Brickset got seven Griphooks while Promobricks got zero Ron Weasley minifigures and eight Hermione. Over on YouTube, an example is that someone got five Neville minifigures.

This is the first time since I’ve gotten back in the hobby that I can not report on a set distribution rate for the minifigures because I simply can’t. I don’t know why LEGO changed it but this change could affect future minifigures series as well. If you’re looking to get them, I suggest purchasing a complete set from an independent shop or if you can safely do it, feel for them yourselves individually.

LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292) Set Name Change Coming to North America?

A few readers have noticed that the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292) has been removed from Shop@Home. This probably means that there might a set name change coming soon for it like with the European versions of the set which is now called The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport. In Europe, the term “Razor Crest” isn’t trademarked by Lucasfilms but by Michael Gaßmann who owns a site called Modbrix which is using the term to sell a MOC of the Razor Crest.

There could be a lengthy legal battle going on in Europe between Lucasfilms and Modbrix for the use of the term and LEGO may simply not deal with it and just change the name to something more generic. This name change may have a ripple effect on the North American version of the set as well and hence the product page takedown. I wouldn’t be too surprised if the page comes back up in a day or two with the new set name. Note that Amazon still has their product listing up with the Razor Crest name.

Update: It looks like North America will indeed have the name change. Below is an image of the US pre-order on Shop@Home which has the new set name. Thanks to Mike for the image.

LEGO Unikitty TV Series Ends

Cartoon Network has aired the final episode of Unikitty with a two-part finale called The Birthday to End All Birthdays. If you remember from last year, it was reported that Cartoon Network didn’t pick up the series for another season but that was rebuked by the showrunners. There was a gaps between airings of episodes in the last two seasons, nine months in season two and four months in the last season. I’m not sure if it was Cartoon Network or the show itself that caused those delays.

All in all, there were 104 total episodes of Unikitty that aired between 2017 until now. There is a niche group of dedicated fans of the show which probably kept it going longer than expected. There were eight LEGO sets that were released for the show along with a series of Unikitty blind bags.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Classified as Event Item

LEGO has released a statement regarding the LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) set which went on sale this past weekend here in the US. The set is classified as an “event item” and not a regional exclusive. It was indeed supposed to be a San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusive and DC FanDome was a way for LEGO to sell the set but fans were disappointed that it would not be sold outside of the US. LEGO has also updated the wording on Shop@Home to clarify it as well. Pre-orders can still be placed on it at Shop@Home and on Walmart.com and it will ship on October 1.

There’s no word yet on if the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) is classified as an event item as well but I’m guessing it will be.

It turns out this set was originally going to be the 2020 San Diego Comic Con exclusive. Since that SDCC was canceled they found this weekends event provided a relevant opportunity to release the set. While the new virtual DC event was global, the product was not produced to be global and will therefore only be available to be in the US. There was consideration that this appeared to be a regional exclusive set but it is actually an event item. The set is also being sold on Walmart.com but this appears to be US shipping limitation as well.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Regional Exclusive Confusion

The LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) went up for pre-order yesterday here in the US and there was much outrage at LEGO because it was only sold here and not anywhere else in the world. There’s no official word on why but I may have some reasoning behind it.

I believe this set was intended to be sold at San Diego Comic Con but that didn’t happen this year and DC decided to do their own event and LEGO had to sell it somehow. San Diego Comic Con exclusives usually aren’t sold outside of the US besides by third party sellers who attend. So technically, the LEGO Wonder Woman set isn’t a “regional exclusive” but I can see why fans are frustrated at the situation. There are, however, some good people out there on social media who are willing to help out fans in other countries. Feel free to post a comment and someone may see it and help you out.

Pre-orders for the set are still being taken on LEGO Shop@Home as well as at Walmart. I’m don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced so if you’re in the US and want an easy convention exclusive, I would suggest putting your order in.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman #6 Set on Shop@Home?

It looks like DC FanDome tomorrow will have more LEGO related stuff happening during the event. We already know about the LEGO Supergirl minifigure but the US/Canada FanDome Shop shows an exclusive LEGO Wonder Woman set. There’s an image of some LEGO products including the LEGO DC Super Heroes Collectible Minifigures and the Batcave Clayface Invasion (76122) but there’s also a new Wonder Woman vignette type set shown.

The set is similar to the SDCC 2019 The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903) and it features classic Wonder Woman and Cheetah along with a girl. This vignette is in reference to Wonder Woman #6 which is the first appearance of Cheetah. If you click on the image link, it takes you to the LEGO DC products page on Shop@Home so I’m guess LEGO might be selling it there. It’s possible that it will be available at 10am PST but I’m just guessing since there’s no information about it anywhere. Thanks to Ron for the heads up.

With the news of the LEGO Hidden Side rumored to be discontinued at the end of the year, Amazon currently has a lot of sets on sale for larger discounts than before.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Available at Target on August 27

The last few days, we’ve been talking a lot about the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) and where we can get it. As we stated already, it will be on LEGO Shop@Home as it has been listed on the site. We also confirmed that it will not be an “exclusive” set as it was found at a Canadian toy store as well as at Toys R Us Canada. The latest retailer to get it will be Target as they have listed it as a RedCard exclusive. The price is still $39.99 but you get to save 5% on your order if you are a RedCard member. The official launch date is August 27 for Target so mark your calendars. I’m not sure if LEGO Shop@Home will have it available the same day but keep an eye on it.

It may seem like a long time ago but last year LEGO announced they were producing LEGO sets to help visually impaired children learn Braille. After a successful test in different countries and languages, LEGO Braille Bricks has been officially launched. Check out the details below on how to acquire them.

LEGO® Braille Bricks to launch in twenty countries over the next six months following successful pilot program

The LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group roll out the first wave of the program in partnership with local sight loss organizations to help children with vision impairment learn critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration through play.

Billund, August 20th 2020: Today, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group announced the official launch of LEGO Braille Bricks in seven countries, including Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, UK and USA. The program was first unveiled as a pilot project in April 2019 during the Sustainable Brands Conference in Paris, France – home ground of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. Since then, the concept has been tested across various languages and cultural contexts and is ready to launch in six languages, including Danish, Norwegian, English, Portuguese, German and French. Four additional language versions will launch over the next six months, with the ambition that the concept will be implemented in a total of eleven languages across twenty countries by early 2021.

LEGO Braille Bricks introduces a fun and engaging way to help children with vision impairment develop tactile skills and learn the braille system. The bricks are moulded so that the

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) Amazon Sale (Limit 3) – August 2020

Amazon is currently selling the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) again for $3.44 which is 31% off the retail price. The only bad thing here is that there is a limit of 3 which is a bummer because they had a larger quantity a few months ago. If you’re shopping for other items, it may be worth it to add these to the cart as these are pretty cheap at the moment. You will get random packs and there’s no guarantee that you will get what minifigures you want.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Not Exclusive to Shop@Home

A few days ago, I reported that the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) will be available for Shop@Home but it appears that it won’t be an exclusive set. A reader by the name of Fred was able to purchase a set from Benjo which is an independent store in Quebec City, Canada. This is on top of the fact that Toys R Us Canada may be selling it as well. In addition, the listing in the August/September 2020 catalog does not show it as an exclusive or hard to find like with other direct-to-consumer sets. Will it be available at other retailers here in the US, we shall see.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks Book Update

It’s been just over a day since LEGO announced they are partnering with Unbound to release a book geared towards AFOLs called The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks. Here’s a little update of what has happened since then. As of this post, there are 960 supporters which brings the crowdfunding to 61% funded. Most of the large rewards have been claimed but there are still various limited edition prints available.

There’s also an update of what the book consists of since we didn’t get any details from the press release yesterday.

• A full colour, high quality hardback with printed endpapers
• 279 x 229mm portrait with head and tail bands
• At least 350-400 colour and black and white photographs
• Approximately 368-400 pages, and 60-70,000 words

As you can see, it’ll be a pretty big book and could be a good candidate for a coffee table book. There’s also a video from Daniel Konstanski talking about what we can expect to see which you can check out below.

There’s still a lot of time to pledge your support for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks as they are taking pre-orders are accepted until early 2021. The book won’t officially release until 2022.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) to be Available on LEGO Shop@Home

The LEGO August/September 2020 Catalog is starting to hit mailboxes and there’s something interesting that you may be interested in if you’re a LEGO Star Wars fan. On page 49 at the bottom, it shows a listing for the Bespin Duel (75294) which was supposed to be an exclusive set to either SDCC 2020 or Star Wars Celebration 2020. Due to both of them not happening this year, it looks like LEGO has decided to sell it on their own. This most likely means it will be available on LEGO Shop@Home. We now also have pricing for the set which is $39.99 for 295 pieces. There’s no word on when it will be released but I’m assuming it’ll be September 1 along with the other LEGO Star Wars sets. Also, we don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced for it so it could be a limited run.

LEGO Ninjago The Gardens of Ninjago City (71741) Rumored for 2021

For you LEGO Ninjago fans, there’s a rumor of a new expansion set for The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City (70620). If you remember, LEGO already did an expansion to it with the Ninjago City Docks (70657) but it looks like there’s another one coming called The Gardens of Ninjago City (71741). This will be another large scale set that will retail for €299.99 and will have upwards of 4,000 pieces. In addition like with the previous sets, it will have a lot of minifigures and this one is said to have upwards of 20.

As for the details of the set, it is said that it will have a red pagoda with a bridge leading up to it. There are also some different colored towered buildings and they are connected via a skybridge between the floors. There’s even a Japanese cherry tree on one of the towers.

If this is real, it sounds like a pretty cool set but we’ll have to wait for a teaser or an announcement to confirm it. Until then, this is purely speculation but the source of the info is pretty reliable. One thing to note is that it is weird that it will tie in to the movie even though the movie was released back in 2017 and whether it will be canon to the movie or the show.

LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) Designer Video

The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) is one of the most popular sets that LEGO has released and earlier today, the designer video for the set went live on YouTube. LEGO designers Pablo Gonzalez, Leon Pijnenburg, and Daire McCabe talks about some of the details in the set. I do like that the set is almost 1:1 scale with the real console. Graphic designer Anthony Palamaro talks about some of the decorative pieces within the set. He notes the Mario figure pixel per pixel perfect to the on screen representation and was the first element to be designed graphic first. Benjamin Ma talks about his involvement in the set by integrating the Mario figure from the Starter Course (71360) to the TV.

Currently the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) is temporarily sold out on Shop@Home and there’s no timetable of when it will be back. Hopefully it won’t be that long as it will make a great present once the holiday season rolls around.

LEGO Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures Rumored for 2021

I’m not sure where this rumor started from but Brick Fanatics has reported that there will be a LEGO Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures series coming in 2021. This is the first time I’ve heard about it and it is way out in left field. Looney Tunes is owned by Warner Bros. and LEGO has done a lot of licensed products with the brand before so it’s not out of the realm of possibilities.

If it does happen, we can expect to see some of the more popular characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Yosemite Sam, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil, Sylvester, Marvin the Martian, Pepe Le Pew, Road Runner, and Speedy Gonzales, just to name a few.

Again, I’m not saying this is true but it’s possible since Brick Fanatics has some good sources as well but don’t get too excited if nothing comes out of this.

LEGO Creator Winter Village Elf Clubhouse (10275) Rumored for 2020

Continuing with the rumor mill, there is now information on possibly what this year’s LEGO Creator Winter Village set will be. Word has it that the 2020 Winter Village set will be an Elf Clubhouse (10275). It not usual that we get something elf-centric but it seems that it may go well with the Santa’s Workshop (10245) and Toy Workshop (40106) from 2014. Can you believe we haven’t had any elves for the Winter Village in that many years? It doesn’t seem like it to me as I can clearly remember it being released in stores. Anyways, consider the Elf Clubhouse only as a rumor until LEGO announces it in the upcoming months.

LEGO Creator Expert Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) Rumored for 2021

There’s a new rumor going around the internet for about a few days about a new LEGO Creator Expert Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) coming out some time in 2021. If you remember late last year, there was another rumor of some Ghostbusters: Afterlife sets that were set to be released this year in conjunction with the movie release but all that got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This rumor, which comes from Eurobricks, says it will retail for $200 and is in the style of the Creator Expert vehicles like the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (10262) and the Fiat 500 (10271). Note that the Aston Martin was also based on a movie as well. This also means that the Ecto-1 won’t be in minifigure scale which and will probably be in the system sets that were supposed to be out for the new movie.

Again, all rumors are treated as such until LEGO officially announces it or leaked images start showing up online which has been happening a lot for every big release. The image above is not the rumored set but of the LEGO Ideas one that was released a few years ago.

LEGO Sets Not Retiring in 2020

I’ve recently talked about some LEGO sets that are set to be retiring at the end of the year but I’ve also been asked if certain sets will be staying or not. I have some new information about a couple of sets that you don’t have to worry about it going away after 2020. I’ve been told from my source that the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) and The Disney Castle (71040) will not be retired and will be available for the foreseeable future.

Currently The Upside Down is still in stock on LEGO Shop@Home but the Disney Castle has been on backorder status for a while now. Fortunately, LEGO is accepting backorders and it’ll be shipped in 60 days. You can also use the stock check to see if your nearest LEGO Brand Store has it on the shelves.

LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs Ending After 2020?

The LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs have been a staple for the theme for many years but it looks like they might be going away after 2020. For army builders, these were great sets for certain minifigures for a relatively cheap price and they also included some small builds to go along with it.

There’s a new rumor going around on Eurobricks discussing that the Battle Packs may be going away by the end of the year. There’s no concrete evidence showing this is true we’ll hold off on calling it done completely. One theory is that with the release of the 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280), LEGO might be taking a year off to focus on producing these highly popular and desired minifigures.

Currently, the only two Battle Packs on the market are the Sith Troopers Battle Pack (75266) and the Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267).

LEGO Art Pre-Orders on Amazon

Amazon is currently offering pre-orders for the upcoming LEGO Art sets that are set to be released on September 1. Each of them retails for $119.99 each and they will be released on Amazon on August 28.

Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe (31197)
The Sith (31200)
The Beatles (31198)

For those who don’t know, each set gives you enough pieces to create one piece of art and each of the sets have multiple variations so you’ll have to purchase multiple sets to have the “complete” artwork. If you do plan on getting them, I would highly suggest waiting until they go live on LEGO Shop@Home to earn VIP points unless you don’t have a VIP account. In that case, I would wait until there’s a decent discount on them or if you earn money back on a rewards card.

LEGO Star Wars Armored Assault Tank (AAT) 75283 Amazon Pre-Order

Another highly anticipated LEGO Star Wars summer 2020 sets that is available for pre-order on Amazon is the Armored Assault Tank (AAT) 75283. Like with the 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280), it will ship on August 28 which I guess is when Amazon gets their stock. I’m not sure how much pre-orders they are taking, but I assume it won’t be that many for the initial release. The Ahsoka minifigure is the main highlight here as this is the fourth minifigure of her and the first one since 2016.

LEGO Creator Roman Colosseum (10276) Rumored for November Release

There’s a new rumor that’s been floating around for about a week of a new LEGO Creator Landmark set that is said to be coming in November. This set is said to be the Roman Colosseum (10276) and if the rumors are true, it will be the largest set that LEGO has produced coming in at 9,035 pieces.

As we know by now, LEGO loves to throw in teasers here and there including in already released sets. If you seen or have the LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (10271), you’ll notice the painting accessory that comes with the car has the Colosseum in the background. Could LEGO have already been teasing the next Creator landmark set way back in February when the Fiat was announced? We shall see.

It is one of the more iconic ships in the Star Wars Universe and there hasn’t been many versions of it in LEGO form.

LEGO Powered Up Shopping Limits Increased

If you’ve been shopping for the LEGO Powered Up parts, you may have noticed that there were limits of 2 or 3 that you can purchase. This was an issue because more complex builds may need more parts than that. LEGO has listened and they have now increased the Powered Up parts to five. Although there is still the “lifetime purchase limit,” that will be addressed in the future of when you can order them again.

For the past few weeks I have been working with Retail, Consumer Services and our Order Verification Team to stress the need to examine the limits on certain products and the current limit time frame. Your voices are heard and we recognize that there are certain items where the need to purchase additional motors or hubs is critical. We are also in a situation where production is limited due to the virus.

There are concerns around increasing the limits on certain products that have long lead times. Powered elements are a very good example of an item with a significant lead time. If we go back to 2016 when 10254 The Holiday Train was released train motors, HUBs and remotes sold out prior to November and were out of stock for over 6 months. This was a very challenging time for everyone as you could not power the train or any other product you just received. Hence the need for limits.

While we do not have any information to share on the purchase limit time frame, we can share that

LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) Releasing on August 14 at Target

As we know by now, a lot of the August 2020 LEGO releases here in the US were tentatively delayed until September or some time before that. We now know of one set that is set to release a little early at Target and that is the highly popular LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280). The product listing says it will be available starting on August 14 so set your calendars. I feel this set will be sold out everywhere for a few months as people will want go get multiples to grow their 501st Legion. Thanks to Joshua for the heads up.

LEGO Releases Final Statement Regarding LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) Cancellation

LEGO has released their final statement regarding the cancellation of the LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) on the LAN. It didn’t change much from the previous announcement although there have been some functionality issues regarding the gears during the reviews of the set. LEGO said that did not factor into the cancellation.

On another note, LEGO is discussing with BrickLink to have the Osprey listed in the catalog but will be not listed for sale. This is purely to keep the database updated as much as possible. More details of this will be shared later on.

The decision not to launch the LEGO Technic V-22 Osprey was made solely due to the fact that the set breached our policy of not creating real military vehicles. There were no other factors that influenced the decision in any way.

This is just a quick update to say we are discussing with Bricklink about having 42113 included in the catalog but not listed for sale. It should be noted that Las Vegas (Early Version with Mandalay Bay Hotel) was only added to the catalog after 2+ years had passed, so we might not be able to add 42113 immediately. We will share more details once we have aligned with the Bricklink team.

LEGO Continuing to Support Families Impacted by COVID-19

Back in March, LEGO announced some new initiatives to support children and families impacted by COVID-19 and recently, they have recently revealed how they are continuing to support families. In the past few months, they have partnered up with more agencies in other countries to support the work in those local communities to supply essential services to families which you can check out below.

How we’re continuing to support families impacted by COVID-19

We committed to delivering learning through play support and vital supplies to crisis-affected children – here’s how we’re doing.

Back in March, as the impact of COVID-19 on children’s wellbeing and development became clear, we joined forces with the LEGO Foundation to pledge over US $50m to support children and families impacted by the pandemic.

Over the past few months, we’ve been working alongside new and existing partners to strengthen and support the work they are doing in our local communities to provide essential services to families during this time.

Here’s a quick look at some of the many ways in which our partners are supporting families through these unprecedented times – whether it be bringing learning through play, ensuring children have access to education and healthcare, or helping families feel safe and supported:

This organisation is committed to combatting poverty and providing humanitarian aid to support families in the Czech Republic and around the world through the most difficult of times. Funding from the LEGO Group will help the organisation provide care and education support packages for

LEGO August 2020 Sets Delayed Until September 1

If you were shopping this past weekend on LEGO Shop@Home in North America, you may have noticed that a lot of the summer 2020 set that were slated to be released on August 1 didn’t launch. We have some official statements coming out of the LEGO Ambassador Network regarding this issue.

The reason that we don’t have the sets yet is because COVID shut down the factory in Mexico and the NA stock wasn’t ready for launch until September 1. LEGO also said that they start selling the new products as soon as they get them so it could be any time between now and September 1. Again, this is affecting the North America region.

The typical Europe = June sets that equal NA = August sets have been impacted by the closing of the Mexico factory. I believe this has been mentioned in other threads but I have been unable to locate this info being shared on the LAN. Some of the August 1st sets have been delayed due to production limitations. This can was shown on LEGO.com by having “Coming Soon” on some products and “Available August 1st” for other sets. The “Coming Soon” sets have not been canceled, just delayed and our other factories are working hard to assist all markets.

I have been informed that due to the LEGO Mexico factory closures, we (in NA) moved out a list of products from Aug. 1 to Sep. 1. With that said, we have been informed we can sell the products upon receipt so

Target currently has the new LEGO Super Mario Character Packs (71361) available for $3.99 each which is 20% off the normal price of $4.99.

LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) Cancelled Due to Faulty Parts?

A week ago, LEGO announced that the upcoming LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) will be cancelled for release due to it featuring a military vehicle even though this version was a search and rescue plane. A few lucky individuals were able to get one from their local shop and it may seem that there could be another reason why it was cancelled. A user over on Reddit showed a few images of their set and explained that some of the gear pieces became damaged with extended use. As you can see from the image below, the teeth on the gears are all bent compared to the undamaged part. Coincidentally, Huw over on Brickset released his review of the set today and the same issue was with his copy as well.

Connecting the dots, it may seem that there was more in play for the Osprey cancellation other than the reasons stated in the official comment. If it was due to a faulty part, it would make sense to cancel everything and release at another time when the issue is fixed. LEGO said that they will be making another formal statement soon so we’ll see what is actually going on.

BrickLink to Start Charging Sales Tax and VAT

If you’re a user of BrickLink, they have announced that they will start charging sales tax and VAT on products on the site. Sales and use tax will be collected in the US by the end of September and VAT will be charged to EU sellers starting on August 5. You can read more about it below.

Dear BrickLink member,

Over the next few weeks, BrickLink will undergo some changes that will affect our membership. These changes are necessary for our platform to be compliant with sales and use tax and VAT legislation where applicable. We also feel they will help build our reputation as a well-regarded ecommerce site. These changes are broken down into three categories outlined below:

1) We will begin to collect sales and use tax in the United States. We have already registered in two states – Connecticut and California – and we plan to register in more states within the next few months. All orders shipping to an address in these states, even from stores outside the United States, will be subject to this tax requirement. We anticipate BrickLink will start collecting this tax by the end of September.

2) We will begin charging VAT on BrickLink fees to EU sellers who have not enabled the VAT feature on BrickLink. The first invoice date this will take effect on is Aug 5, 2020. All VAT-enabled EU sellers will now have their VAT registration checked by BrickLink.

3) We will soon present you with a revised Terms of Service. You will

Rumors of LEGO Hidden Side Theme Being Discontinued

If you’ve been online the past few days, especially on Instagram, you may have seen a rumor flying around saying that the LEGO Hidden Side will be discontinued. Considering the theme was just released last year, LEGO wouldn’t think of stopping a theme this quickly, would they?

Unfortunately from what I’ve been hearing, the LEGO Hidden Side theme will indeed be discontinuing at the end of 2020. This new style of play combining the physical bricks with the digital aspect wasn’t sustainable as they thought it would be. I’ve also read that LEGO will be stopping production on the sets and independent stores can no longer order them, just whatever left of stock LEGO has at their warehouses.

If these things are true, it’s sad to see a theme with so much potential going away so quickly especially when we don’t get that many horror themed sets. If the LEGO Hidden Side is discontinued, LEGO will inform the public ahead of time like they have in the past on some items.

The LEGO Group launches new initiative to help parents talk to their kids about online safety and digital citizenship

‘Build & Talk’ approach encourages learning through play
LEGO creatures in a row, with a partially-built creature in the center and the words “small builds for BIG conversations”

BILLUND, July 20, 2020: The LEGO Group today launched Small Builds for Big Conversations, a series of creative challenges which offer parents and their kids an enjoyable, guided method to engage in conversations about being a good digital citizen and the importance of online safety.

According to Kaspersky, parents spend just 46 minutes talking to their children about online risks throughout their entire childhood as they find it difficult to express the risks in a relatable way. Small Builds for Big Conversations has been created to address such barriers by giving parents simple, fun ways to talk to children aged six to 10 about digital safety and wellbeing while they play.

The ‘Build & Talk’ challenges are based around characters built from LEGO bricks, who represent both the positive and negative aspects of life online. Parents and children are encouraged to build similar characters with LEGO bricks they have at home and use play and conversation prompts to talk about digital wellbeing, safety and

LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) Officially Cancelled

Yesterday, I reported that the upcoming release of the LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) was potentially cancelled and it looks like it has been confirmed. LEGO has just released a statement regarding the set which you can read below.

The LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was designed to highlight the important role the aircraft plays in search and rescue efforts. While the set clearly depicts how a rescue version of the plane might look, the aircraft is only used by the military. We have a long-standing policy not to create sets which feature real military vehicles, so it has been decided not to proceed with the launch of this product.

We appreciate that some fans who were looking forward to this set may be disappointed, but we believe it’s important to ensure that we uphold our brand values.

There are going to be some stores that have already received stock but LEGO Stores should never receive stock. Our sales teams have been in touch with their customers as well. I would expect a few mom and pop type shops to receive a shipment but larger retailers will be less likely.

The German Peace Society denounced LEGO for the release due to it being a military plane even though it was designed to be a search and rescue plane and there were protests scheduled in Germany because of it.

It’s pretty embarrassing on LEGO’s part with nobody speaking up during the design process that the Osprey was mainly used as a military plane. I’m … Continue

LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) Release Potentially Cancelled

There’s a new report this morning from Zusammengebaut that may affect the release of the upcoming LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113). Since the Osprey is based on a military vehicle, the German Peace Society has denounced LEGO for planning to release this set which was scheduled for August 1. LEGO’s version of the set is based on a search and rescue vessel, one without weapons.

The German Peace Society says LEGO cooperates with arms companies and plans to stage protests this week outside of three LEGO Brand Stores in Germany, including the flagship store in Berlin.

LEGO has released a statement regarding this issue on the Ambassador Network:

The LEGO Technic Bell Boeing Osprey V-22 was designed to highlight the important role the aircraft plays in search and rescue efforts.

While our set depicts a rescue version of the plane, the aircraft is predominately used by the military. We have a long-standing policy not to create sets which feature military vehicles and in this case we have not adhered to our own internal guidelines.

As a result, we are currently reviewing our plans to launch this product on August 1.

As a result, the LEGO Technic Bell Boeing Osprey V-22 has been removed from LEGO Shop@Home and the release of the set could be cancelled even before it hits store shelves.

Rumored LEGO Direct to Consumer Sets Retiring in 2020

It’s that time of the year where we get some information of what LEGO sets will be retiring soon. According to my sources, there will be some popular LEGO direct to consumer sets that will be going away by the end of the year. I’ve been told that the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260), Taj Mahal (10256), and the LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318) will be retired. Only the Ideas set hasn’t been out for a year as of this writing. One of the reasons why the Tree House is going away so fast is that there are so many upcoming Ideas sets in the pipeline, there’s no more room for it on the shelves.

Most of the sets are out of stock on Shop@Home but the Diner is available on Amazon. I suggest checking the store stock on the Shop@Home product pages to see if your local LEGO Brand Store still has them.

LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) D2C Rumored to be Coming Soon

Fairy Bricks Looking for Information About Stolen LEGO Sets

A few days ago, Fairy Bricks, a charity in the UK that gives LEGO to children in hospitals, was a victim of a robbery at their headquarters. As you can see in the picture above, the place was ransacked and there were a number of LEGO sets that were stolen. The perpetrator(s) cut through a metal sheet from the outside to get in. Also their van that is used to deliver the sets was also stolen but it has since been returned. This isn’t the first time that Fairy Bricks has been robbed as their van was broken in a few years ago.

If you’re in the UK, keep an eye out for the following sets which were stolen in large quantities. If you have any information, please contact Fairy Bricks or the West Yorkshire Police.

Update: LEGO has tweeted that they will be working with Fairy Bricks to replace the sets as soon as possible.

LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Set Teaser

A short while ago, LEGO posted a teaser for what appears to be the Nintendo Entertainment System. As we know, LEGO now has the license to produce Nintendo related products including LEGO Super Mario so it’s no surprise that they will be releasing a set on the system he became widely famous on. From the silhouette, you can faintly see that it comes with the NES along with a controller and a TV. No word on when it will be released by I’m guessing August.

No LEGO Panels at San Diego Comic Con 2020 @ Home

San Diego Comic Con 2020 has been officially cancelled but in its replacement, they have announced that there will be virtual panels held on all four days. The programming schedule for the days have been released and surprisingly there will be no LEGO related panels. That doesn’t mean that LEGO can’t or won’t be doing their own things on their social media channels.

Usually, LEGO shows off some products for the following year and it’s possible they could still do that. As for the exclusives, I have no idea if they will be doing any giveaways or selling any sets online if they already have things planned for SDCC so it’s just a wait and see situation.

The whole COVID-19 pandemic has put a hamper on things and San Diego Comic Con was the most anticipated event for me every year. I’ll missing driving to the convention center and doing all the LEGO related events including waiting in line for the LEGO exclusives. Hopefully we’ll get to see something that gives us our fill as a replacement for not going.

LEGO Monkie Kid Pigsy’s Food Truck (80009) Review

LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed Ghostbusters Update Coming Soon

For those who are still playing LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, there will be some new content coming soon for the game with a Ghostbusters update. They have already revealed Peter Venkman and Ray Stantz and has a teaser for Winston Zeddemore. Egon Spengler will also be added as well according to the teaser image above.

For me personally, I’ve been still playing it since launch and have been grinding away trying to get some of the newer characters. It’s been a taking a while since I’m purely free-to-play and haven’t spent any money on it. I think the main thing that holds players back is that the game doesn’t give enough coins for missions and upgrading characters take a lot of coins. Also the RNG is somewhat bad because I’ve had days where I don’t get any character tiles for someone I’m leveling which makes it more difficult to level up. Hopefully, Gameloft addresses these issues in the future.

LEGO Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay (21322) Restocking at LEGO Brand Stores

The LEGO Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay (21322) has been extremely popular to the point where it has been sold out on LEGO Shop@Home since its release. I’ve been told that various LEGO Brand Stores have restocked in limited quantities. I can’t say which stores have it or not because each has different restock schedules. The best way to see if your store has it is to use the “Check Store Stock” feature on the product page above and double check by calling the store. If you are going out, take precautions and stay safe.

LEGO IKEA BYGGLEK Products Found in Germany

New Story on How the LEGO Brick was Created

Today is the 100th birthday of former LEGO owner Godtfred Kirk Christiansen and LEGO has shared some never before released details of how the LEGO brick was created. The most interesting one is that the design of the brick was developed and patented in no more than five days. Read the full story below.

100 years ago, today, former LEGO® owner and managing director Godtfred Kirk Christiansen was born. His influence on the company and the success of the LEGO system in play is undeniable, but brand-new research done by our historians in LEGO Idea House shows that his influence on the LEGO brick and the company is even greater than we initially thought.

“For decades we have been unable to give a precise answer to the question of how the LEGO brick was developed, and who was the mastermind behind the design. We have been convinced that it was a lengthy development process carried out by a team of LEGO employees in the mid to late 1950s. Thanks to newly-discovered material, we have found out that Godtfred actually played a pivotal role in developing the LEGO brick that people all over the world love today,” explains Signe Wiese, Corporate Historian from LEGO Idea House.

Here is the never-before-told story of the development of the iconic LEGO brick:

It’s January 23, 1958. Three men are sitting in a LEGO office in Billund. The three men are Godtfred Kirk, his brother Karl Georg (presumably) and Axel Thomsen, head of LEGO sales office in Germany.

The latter explains
