LEGO BrickHeadz 150th Theme Winner Announced

December 16, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Last month, LEGO did a fan vote to pick the 150th LEGO BrickHeadz set and the winning theme has been announced. There were four themes to choose from and they are Lilo & Stitch, Minecraft, Jaws, and Star Wars and the winner is:

Star Wars

There were 13,000 people who voted and the majority of it went to Star Wars. This is obviously very disappointing as we’ve already seen 15 other Star Wars BrickHeadz already while there were two brand new IPs on the table that could’ve been added. Oh well, let’s just wait for yet another Star Wars BrickHeadz to be their special 150th one.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) Rumored to be Coming in February

December 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new rumor going around regarding the next LEGO Ideas set to be released and it is said to be the Medieval Blacksmith (21325).

The build was designed by Namirob and the upcoming set is said to be coming in February 2021 and will be priced between $100-$180.

Recently, LEGO has released documents for set certifications and one of the more interesting ones is for the LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466). The set features one adult panda and two baby pandas as well as a little decorated tree. There’s no word yet on the price or piece count at this time. Again, the image resolution is pretty terrible but you can see what it should look like.

Predicting Future LEGO Sets for Upcoming Marvel/MCU Projects

December 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few hours ago, Disney held their Investor Day where they showed a lot of upcoming shows from various franchises. The most exciting thing for me was the Marvel Studios part of the event where Kevin Feige talked about some of the projects that will be coming out for Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the next few years. Let’s take a look at everything that was shown to see if there’s any potential LEGO sets that could come out of it. Of course, these are only guesses and not guaranteed to be true.

• WandaVision – We probably won’t see anything come out for this.
• The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – It’s possible that there could be a one-off set for it featuring both characters.
• Loki – An interesting show that I have no idea what’s going on and highly unlikely to see any sets.
• What If…? – I can actually see this happening in some form. It’ll be cool to see some of the main Marvel characters in different roles.
• Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings – 50% chance we’ll see one set for the movie.
• Ms. Marvel – A good opportunity to introduce the character to a wider audience.
• Captain Marvel 2 – More than likely we’ll see something out of it.
• Hawkeye – The show will be cool but probably no.
• She-Hulk – Like Ms. Marvel, it’ll be cool to see a She-Hulk minifigure.
• Moon Knight – I’d give it … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407) Promo Available Again on LEGO Shop

LEGO has made the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II Battle (40407) promotion available again with purchases of $75 or more in LEGO Star Wars products. The set has 235 pieces and was available earlier this year during the May the 4th event.

LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) Roof Updated

December 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you purchased the LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) early on, the roof on the cockpit used a matte 6×6 tile which also shows a unsightly injection point in the middle. LEGO has recently updated the set quietly on the building instructions and has changed out the part out for three 2×6 tiles (Part 6318582) to give it a sleeker look which is more consistent with the rest of the vehicle.

If you have the set already, you can contact customer service to see if they will be able to offer you the parts. The tile is a new piece for 2020 as it was introduced with the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) and the LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street (21324). You can also purchase it on Bricks & Pieces for $0.29 each. If you are able to purchase the 1989 Batmobile when it is back in stock, you’ll most likely get the updated parts and instructions.

LEGO Sets Retiring Soon – December 2020

December 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Shop Europe has recently updated their Retiring Soon list and there are some sets you may think of picking up before they go away by the end of the year. Although they aren’t listed on the North American, I believe it’ll be the same for over here.

Some of the more notable sets that will be leaving soon include the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) and the LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220). Also on the list are some older LEGO Hidden Side sets and the legacy Power Functions components.

Although a lot of the products are out of stock and sold out, I suggest searching at other retailers to see if they have them in stock like on Amazon.

Cartoon image of a factory and a tree shaking hands

Today, the LEGO Group has committed to reducing its absolute carbon emissions by 37% by 2032 to ensure the company plays its part in limiting the effects of climate change. The target has been approved by the Science Based Target initiative as consistent with levels required to keep global warming to below 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

The company’s target covers emissions from its own operations which equates to 10% of total emissions and includes energy use in its factories, offices and stores, and from its supply chain which equates to 90% of emissions including areas such as raw materials and distribution.

Tim Brooks, VP, Environmental Responsibility, said: “Climate change poses one of the biggest risks to society and the planet that our children will inherit. We are committed to building a better planet for future generations and that means stepping up efforts to reduce carbon emissions across our entire value chain.”

To achieve this target, the LEGO Group will:

Could Rejected LEGO Ideas Projects be Coming to BrickLink?

December 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has been working more and more with BrickLink, whom they’ve acquired late last year, and putting in resources to help both companies. Recently, they have released a survey asking LEGO fans if they are members of BrickLink and know about LEGO Ideas.

Help us realize more fan creations!

The LEGO Group and BrickLink want to realize more fan creations for the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community.

As part of this, we are investigating opportunities that the AFOL community has brought forward to see if there’s actually an appetite for these kinds of ideas and to investigate its feasibility.

Please help us by filling out this explorative survey. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete. Your participation matters greatly because it improves our ability to do more for you, whether you are a BrickLink seller, buyer, fan designer, or any combination of them!

In the blurb, they state that both companies want to realize more fan creations for AFOLs and are looking at opportunities to do that. From the looks of what they are asking, it seems that they could be bringing some LEGO Ideas projects to BrickLink, referring to the projects that did not pass the review stage.

Let’s say that a project you voted for was not seleceted for production by the LEGO Group. How would you feel if the project was realized through the BrickLink site instead?

Since the support is already there for the most part in terms of the number of supporters achieved for a particular project, BrickLink … Continue

Could LEGO Collectible Minifigures May 2021 Wave be Based on Space Jam 2?

December 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you saw yesterday, the new January-May 2021 LEGO Catalog was released and one of the pages showed the Series 21 LEGO Collectible Minifigures. On the bottom right corner it also shows a new series will be out in May.

Way back in August, we reported that there was a rumor that there could be a LEGO Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures coming out next year. I’m not sure where but I’ve recently heard somewhere that this wave could be based on Space Jam: A New Legacy which is the new movie that features LeBron James and other newer NBA and WNBA stars. It also includes some Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Pepe Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Lola Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. If LEGO continues the 12 minifigures per wave, that’s already 10 of them. We can probably throw in Elmer Fudd and the Tasmanian Devil as the last two since they were in the first Space Jam.

Of course, this is purely a rumor and we really don’t know what LEGO has in store for this wave coming out in May. Note that Space Jam 2 comes out in July and marketing for the movie will have probably started by then.

Releasing in March, LEGO Vidiyo is supposedly the partnership theme between LEGO and Universal Music Group. Rumor has it is that the sets will be centered around making music videos and they feature cube style boxes that will have printed 2×2 album cover tiles that you can scan with your phone to reveal an interactive experience. It does sound pretty interesting and I look forward to the official reveal of the sets.

There’s still no word if LEGO themselves will have it available on the LEGO Shop. I’ve heard that some LEGO Brand Stores had it but it wasn’t a wide distribution.

Yesterday, the Series 21 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71029) were revealed and we now have some additional information to share about the set. As we can see, there are only 12 minifigures to collect in this wave and therefore the case sizes for it has shrunk to 36 blind bags.

Rest of Other 2021 LEGO Star Wars Sets Revealed

November 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we got a first look at the upcoming 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets and we now have the rest of the lineup including the spring sets. Our friend Just2Good got some of the sets from LEGO and the back of the instructions has listed the other sets that we haven’t seen yet including:

Imperial Shuttle (75302)
4+ Resistance X-Wing (75297)
Taun Taun & AT-AT Microfighter (75297)

The instructions also show the minifigures that are in each set and the Imperial Shuttle has a Luke Skywalker minifigure with a blue lightsaber which is actually wrong because by this time, he has the green one already. I’m not sure if this is an error and will be fixed later on or not.

What do you guys think of the 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets? So far I’ve seen a mixed reaction for these sets. Some like the smaller sets that are still pretty accurate and a cheaper price point but some don’t like the constant rehashes of previous sets when there’s a slew of other vehicles that could be used.

LEGO Kicks Off How to Spot a Fake LEGO Webstore Campaign

November 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

With more people shopping online this year, there’s also a higher chance that people get scammed by some fake websites who are set up just to steal your credit card/personal information. LEGO has kicked off a campaign to teach shoppers how to spot a fake LEGO webstore. For most of us who have been in the hobby for a while, we can easily spot them but this is for some newer fans who are looking for deals.

The most evident sign is that the site is selling expensive sets at really low prices. If you see the UCS Millennium Falcon that is normally priced at $799.99 selling for $200, that’s obviously not going to happen. There was a legit sale last year for it when it went down to $480 but that was on Amazon which is a legit seller of LEGO.

LEGO on the backend has been taking down some of these fake sites but as we know, you take one down, two more pops up. If you see them on social media, you can always report them but it depends on if there are enough reports to get them taken down. The post also suggests that you can contact LEGO Customer Service to report them.

If your order did get cancelled, try reaching out to LEGO Customer Service to share your feedback.

LEGO Announces Initiatives to Teach Kids About Cyberbullying

November 16, 2020 / / 0 Comments

With more kids being online this year, LEGO has announced a new initiative to teach kids how to handle cyberbullying. There is a new Build & Talk activity over at www.LEGO.com/cyberbullying that helps parents talk to kids about cyberbullying. In addition, there is a new LEGO Friends #BoostUp experience on the LEGO Life app to help address this subject.

Billund, November 16th, 2020: The LEGO Group has today expanded its range of family-focused digital child safety and wellbeing initiatives to help families have conversations and learn more about how to tackle cyberbullying in an engaging, memorable way.

A new ‘Build & Talk’ activity guide has been created to help parents and caregivers initiate conversations with their child about this challenging subject while completing some simple LEGO® builds together. At the same time a new playful LEGO Friends #BoostUp experience is being introduced in the LEGO Life app, developed with Peppy Pals, a leading creator of digital social and emotional learning experiences, to help children understand and celebrate the power of being kind online and giving them the skills they need to thrive online.

Social media and digital networks can provide friendship lifelines for many children globally, particularly at a time when many remain out of school due to the pandemic. While most children use social media as a force for kindness; by the time a child is in their teenage years, the majority say they have experienced cyberbullying[1].

Design Your Own LEGO City Set Unboxing

November 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, we reported that LEGO was testing a new service that allows you to design your own LEGO City set. A reader named Andreas was able to purchase one and he has sent over images of the unboxing experience.

As you can see from the images, the box shows the set you’ve created on the front along with your name on the bottom right corner. The back and side shows the vehicles, building, minifigure, and animals that you can choose from to add in your custom set.

The builds are separated into individual bags along with the building instructions. There’s also a sticker sheet which looks to have all of the stickers for all the different builds.

Overall, the line has extremely great potential and will be a great idea for gift giving. The recipient will most likely be overjoyed seeing their name on the box along with getting the builds. Obviously, LEGO has to update the builds to keep it fresh and would work good with their other themes as well however it probably won’t work with licensed ones. The pilot program is now over and LEGO is gathering details on how it will work in the future. Hopefully the feedback is good and will roll out worldwide.

Unfortunately, the pilot project has been completed and we are now in the process of analyzing the feedback we have received. At present, we are unfortunately unable to confirm the project’s future plans, and our primary focus is to test the concept and gather

There’s is also a glossy finish on the Ecto-1 while the rest has a matte finish. There’s no word on how to get it but I assume it’ll be given to VIPs you when you buy the Ecto-1 online and at LEGO Stores.

Rumored Gift with Purchase Set for LEGO Colosseum (10276)

November 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Earlier today, it was revealed there will be an announcement for the new LEGO Colosseum (10276) this week and there’s also rumors of a gift with purchase set with it. I’ve been told by a source that there will be some sort of freebie when you purchase the Colosseum but I’m not sure what it will be at this time.

If you didn’t hear yet, the Colosseum will be the largest set that LEGO has produced with 9,035 pieces. This dwarfs the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75192) by almost 1,500 pieces. I assume the set will be labeled an 18+ set as pretty much a majority of the new sets that have released are 18+. It won’t be long until LEGO test the waters with a 10,000 piece set.

Light Brick Studio Branches Out from LEGO Ventures

November 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has been investing in a lot of gaming lately and it bodes well for the community. Last week, they announced that they are working with Unity for a new LEGO Microgame which you can create your own game using virtual bricks. Yesterday, VentureBeat reported that a game development studio called Light Brick Studio is now a independent company and is also supported by LEGO Ventures.

Light Brick Studio previously created Builder’s Journey for Apple Arcade and was released back in December 2019. The studio is now free to create to create games for LEGO as well as for any external partners they choose. This gives Light Brick Studio a lot leeway on what they are able to work on. I’m interested in seeing what will come of this and if they will expand beyond Apple Arcade since not many people are on it.

LEGO Clarifies “Collaboration” with Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons

October 31, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO released some new LEGO DOTS patterns for Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. People started speculating if LEGO would be doing more with the Animal Crossing franchise and LEGO has released a statement about it. In short, no, LEGO won’t be doing anything much more than that with ACNH at this time. Keep in mind, there is a LEGO Ideas project that is in review and there’s a chance that it could be an official set in the future. Fingers crossed. Check out LEGO’s statement below.

Hi everyone –

You might have seen yesterday that we announced we were adding new LEGO DOTs patterns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I’ve been asked by our PR team to clarify that this isn’t a partnership or a collaboration with Nintendo – but rather LEGO DOTS tapping into ACNH, as other brands have done. We haven’t directly worked with Nintendo on this (I know it’s confusing).

We are working with Nintendo for LEGO Super Mario of course, but not for ACNH.

Hope that makes sense!

Design Your Own LEGO City Set with LEGO Lab

October 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Lab is testing a new service over in Denmark that lets you design your own LEGO City set. Here you can choose from a selection of minifigures, vehicles, buildings, and animals to put in the set. When you’re done with the selections, you can checkout normally on the LEGO Shop and LEGO will ship it out to you. The price is fixed at 649 kr. It looks like you’ll get a customized box with what you’ve chosen as well as your name on the bottom right corner.

I’m not sure if or when LEGO will roll it out to other countries but it seems like a cool idea to make your own set albeit with limited options. Hopefully they’ll get enough feedback to allow more options in the future.

To use LEGO Lab, you have to be in Denmark or VPN to it. The images below are from Brickset since I don’t use any VPNs.

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

October 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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

October 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

It looks like we finally know of the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes minifigure for San Diego Comic Con 2020 and it is the Classic Suit Miles Morales. LEGO and PlayStation is doing a contest to give away 1,650 minifigures by playing Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PS4. For a chance to win, you’ll have to beat the game and earn the “End Game” trophy and then connect your PlayStation account on the giveaway page and you’ll be entered to win. The LEGO Miles Morales Spider-Man is a lot harder to win than this year’s Supergirl but it is an exclusive with an updated printing on the torso and legs.

LEGO Vidiyo – LEGO/UMG Partnership Theme Rumored Details

October 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904) to be Sold on Amazon

October 14, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, it was discovered that there were two more LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusives, one of which is the LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904). Thanks to Jeremy at The Holo-Brick Archives, we now know where the set will be sold at.

According to a now deleted product page on the LEGO Star Wars Amazon Store, the set will be sold at the online retail giant. The set will retail for $39.99 like with the other SDCC 2020 exclusives but there’s no word on when it will be available for pre-order/purchase. I’m going to assume that the Nebulon-B Frigate will eventually be on the LEGO Shop as well at some point so stay tuned for that.

LEGO Star Wars Russian Gift Box Contents Revealed

October 11, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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)

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

October 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

October 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

The project now joins the Boeing 737 Passenger Plane, Colosseum (Architecture Style), Gravity Falls: The Mystery Shack, and Brick Town Police Station as the ones that have reached the Third 2020 Review Stage.

LEGO Seasonal Charles Dickens Tribute (40410) Revealed

October 1, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There have been a lot new, unannounced sets that have been revealed today and the latest one is the LEGO Seasonal Charles Dickens Tribute (40410). The set pays homage to one of Dickens’ most popular books, A Christmas Carol and it features a book with a living room scene and it includes minifigures of Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim.

There’s no word yet on its availability or how to get it but I’m assuming it’ll be part of the Black Friday 2020 promotions on the LEGO Shop. It’ll mostly likely be free with a $99 purchase like in previous years.

LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage Winner Announced

September 30, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

September 29, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

September 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

Since ToySphere just went live, there are only a few spheres/themes available at the moment but will be continuously updated in the near future. Since we process visual data better, ToySphere has done a good job in putting all the sets in certain categories within the theme.

Sphere are excited to announce the launch of LEGO ToySphere, a completely unique and immersive format, reimagining shopping for LEGO and allowing fans to view the last decade of LEGO like never before.

Lifelong LEGO fans Olly Treadway and Warren Minde have come together to build ToySphere – bringing the excitement, playfulness and immersion of a trip to a real LEGO store online. Pouring time and passion into building this awesome new way to explore and shop LEGO, the team have spent the past six years on this epic fan project.

Combining Olly’s tech wizardry and passion for LEGO, with Warren’s years of experience consulting to the LEGO leadership at their HQ in Billund, Denmark, this is

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

September 27, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

September 22, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

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

September 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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 DC FanDome Supergirl Minifigure Sweepstakes Didn’t Happen?

September 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

LEGO x Adidas A-ZX First Look

September 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

September 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

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.

LEGO has recently released a new seasonal set with the Winter Snowball Fight (40424). It has 149 pieces and retails for $12.99. Most of us really like the vignette type sets for the seasonal ones but this one is more of a play set filled with separate things.

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

September 5, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

It now joins The Mountain Windmill, Community – Greendale Community College, LEGO HeroQuest, Brickwest Studios, House from Up, Animal Crossing New Horizons: Nook’s Cranny, Trabant 601, Night at the Museum, Fast Food Corner, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Portal 2 – GLaDOS vs Chell and Wheatley, BMW M1 (E26), Caribbean Clipper, Sheriff’s Safe with Combination Lock, 31 Minutos T.V.

This is an updated version of the first one which did not get approved in the latest review stage announcement. This new version has two modular sections for the kitchen and the restaurant areas.

LEGO Harry Potter VIP Reward Center Signed Sets

September 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

September 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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. The quality and durability of LEGO’s products can be passed down to many generations while being fully compatible to elements produced today.

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

Monday 31st August: Today, the LEGO Group has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as part of its commitment to becoming a more circular business.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is the global leader in circular economy while the LEGO® System in Play inspires endless play possibilities that supports the principles of circular design. The quality and durability of LEGO products mean they can be reused and passed down through generations, while remaining fully compatible with elements produced today.

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

August 29, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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?

August 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.
