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

August 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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 Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978) Daily Prophet Photographer Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

August 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has started teasing the reveal of the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978) and in regional emails, there was also a sneak peek of one of the exclusive minifigures in the set. In the UK emails, it looks like Daily Prophet Photographer was shown off. The US version of the email does not show it at all. This is one of the four new exclusive minifigures that will be found in Diagon Alley.

The official announcement of Diagon Alley (75978) will be on Monday, August 31 and I’m hearing the set will be released on September 1.

Update: My Gmail blocked the image and that’s why I didn’t see him in the email.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Regional Exclusive Confusion

August 23, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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?

August 21, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

LEGO Braille Bricks Officially Launches

August 20, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

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.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks Book Update

August 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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?

August 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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.

LEGO Powered Up Shopping Limits Increased

August 5, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

August 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

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

July 30, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

July 30, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

July 26, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

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

July 21, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

It’s been a very long wait but LEGO has just released a teaser for the upcoming LEGO Ideas Piano (21323). As you can see from the clip below, a small section of the keys is playing Fur Elise and it looks to include sound with it.

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

July 20, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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

July 19, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

Downtown Diner (10260) – Shop@Home | Amazon

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

July 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new rumor going around for the next LEGO Star Wars direct-to-consumer set which is reported to be the Mos Eisley Cantina (75290). Word has it that it will be part of the Master Builder Series which is the playset style of exclusives. There’s no concrete details on what Mos Eisley will include but it was said the be released in September which is similar to what LEGO has done in the past. The price point could be around €349.99 and have up to 3,500 pieces. Again, these are purely speculation and I can’t confirm the validity of it as this is the first time I’ve heard of it. We’ll see in a few months. What do you want to see in the Cantina if this turns out to be true?

Fairy Bricks Looking for Information About Stolen LEGO Sets

July 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

No LEGO Panels at San Diego Comic Con 2020 @ Home

July 12, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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 Legacy: Heroes Unboxed Ghostbusters Update Coming Soon

July 11, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

New Story on How the LEGO Brick was Created

July 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

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.

LEGO Marvel Iron Man Helmet (76165) Randomly Stocking at Target

June 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

For those who have been waiting for the LEGO Marvel Iron Man Helmet (76165), Target has been selling it early on their site. It retails for $59.99 and it has been going in and out of stock for a few days according to my sources. There’s no set time on when they restock but it’s usually between 5am-6am PST. I’m not sure if they are going by their original release date of June 21 or if they’re selling it early on accident. If it’s not a priority, it’ll be widely available starting on August 1. On another note, the Iron Man Hulkbuster versus A.I.M. Agent (76164) is also now available at Target.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man Armory (76167) Coming Soon

June 20, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO 2HY catalogs for around the world have been released and there’s a new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that has been revealed with the Iron Man Armory (76167). The Australian catalog shows a new addition to the existing Iron Man Hall of Armor (76125) from last year. This new set is in reference to the first Iron Man movie with the workshop and the hot rod in which Iron Man’s suit color is based off of. The minifigures included in the set are Tony Stark, Iron Man, Prototype Iron Man, and two A.I.M. Agents.

I know fans have been waiting for a new set to add to the Hall of Armor and many have recreated their own ones using multiples of the current set. It’s cool to see LEGO finally adding some new things to it although it seems fairly small. No word on when it will be released here but I’m guessing either in August or September.

The LEGO Monkie Kid theme has been available for about a month now and there’s also an animated TV series that will be airing as well. I’m not sure exactly when or where it aired but the first couple of episodes have already been uploaded to YouTube. I’ve just watched it and it’s actually not that bad. The animation studio for LEGO Monkie Kid is Flying Bark Productions which is the same one that did Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if you watched that show. The first episode jumps right into the action and basically gives you the premise of the story.

The tale begins when an ordinary boy, Monkie Kid, finds Monkey King’s legendary staff and he becomes the chosen one. Together with his brave and loyal friends, Monkie Kid begins his quest to stop the Demon Bull King and his army of Bull Clones from taking over the city.

LEGO Bricks & Pieces Available Again for More Countries

June 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few months ago, LEGO made Bricks & Pieces available again for only a few countries due to the pandemic happening around the world. Some of the countries had the ability to order for a short time before getting taken down again due to unknown reasons.

LEGO has just announced that more countries can now order from Bricks & Pieces again, including those that were removed from the most recent announcement.

A message from LEGO® Customer Service:

Continuing on the successful updates made to LEGO.com/service for United Kingdom / English and Spain / Spanish toward the end of 2019 and opening service for India just a month ago, we’ve finished moving our Customer Service site to the same platform used by the rest of LEGO.com. For the most part, this has been a like-for-like transition of content, although there will be a noticeably differently look and feel.

While Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and the United States were opened previously for paid parts orders, we’ve also been able to coordinate reopening Bricks and Pieces sales with our warehouse for the following markets:

• Austria
• Belgium
• Czech Republic
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Hungary
• Ireland
• Italy
• Luxembourg
• Netherlands
• Norway
• Poland
• Portugal
• Spain
• Sweden
• Switzerland

We hope you’ll love the new site as much as we do!

LEGO Ideas Third 2019 Results Coming Soon

June 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There hasn’t been any word yet but I have a feeling that the LEGO Ideas Third 2019 Results will be announced soon. LEGO did state that the results should be revealed in summer 2020 but we haven’t officially hit summer yet which actually starts next week. Last year, the 2018 results were announced in May but due to COVID-19, everything has been pushed back a little this year. Also the fact that some LEGO employees have started talking about it is another sign that the results should be coming pretty soon. I expect LEGO to start doing teasers for it as well.

As a reminder, there are twelve projects that qualified for the Third 2019 Review Stage and they are:

Queen: I Want to Break Free – Han Sbricksteen
Seinfeld 30th Anniversary – BrentWaller
The Legend of Zelda: BotW Stables – Hanwasyellowfirst
Planet Express Delivery Ship – Nicola Stocchi & gabriele.zannotti
Ratatouille: Open The Doors! – Brick Project
LEGO Typewriter – Steve Guinness
The Legend of the BIONICLE – Sokoda
The Huascar – aldrin
Winter Chalet – sdrnet
Toronto Rocket Subway Train – Legovader217
Home Alone McCallister’s House – adwind

On a side note, we’re not sure if this building contest has any connection with the partnership between LEGO and Universal Music Group which has products coming out in 2021.

LEGO Recognized AFOL Networking Events Update

May 25, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Jan Beyer over on the LEGO Ambassador Network has released a statement regarding the AFOL Networking Events that are supposed to be going on around the world. Due to the Covid-19 situation, there have only two events (Bricks LA/Bricks Cascade) that happened because they were held before everything shut down. Jan has given his thoughts on the ANE for 2020 that have not been cancelled yet (BrickFair Virginia/Skærbæk Fan Weekend/BrickCon). He also talks about some ANE that have gone virtual but that is no replacement for physical events.

Dear all, I hope you are all safe and healthy and have time to spend on your LEGO hobby.

Today I like to give you an updated about the situation regarding AFOL Networking Events in the current Corona Virus pandemic.

Due the never seen before circumstances unfortunately only 2 ANE (Bricks LA and Bricks Cascade) in early 2020 could happen. Since mid March all ANEs are cancelled due to governmental or local restrictions for physical meetings and larger gatherings.

This is of course understandable but hits the organizers and participants as well as the AFOL Community quite heavy.

We do our best to be as supportive as we can be to the cancelled ANE but of course it is a very sad situation and we are right now all very uncertain how the future for large physical gatherings looks like.

There are still 3 ANE left for the remainder of 2020 (Brick Fair Virginia, Skærbæk Fan Weekend and BrickCon) which are not cancelled yet and we all cross

LEGO Monkie Kid Monkie Kid’s Delivery Bike (30341) Polybag Revealed

The LEGO Monkie Kid sets have been available for a week now and there is a new polybag that has recently surfaced online called Monkie Kid’s Delivery Bike (30341). It was available in Shanghai as a gift-with-purchase when the sets first launched and I’m going to assume it will be available here too in the near future. The July 2020 Store Calendar doesn’t show any promotion for it but that doesn’t mean that LEGO can’t run it unannounced. I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets pushed back as far as August.

If you know Adam Savage from Tested/Mythbusters, you would know that he’s a big LEGO fan. His recent video on his Tested channel lets you see how he sorts his collection. Since he’s more of the hands-on DIY kind of person, he doesn’t resort to the usual storage solutions like Akro-Mils but instead he goes and builds his own system. On the same note, Brickset has been interviewing members of the LEGO community of how they do their storage which are some pretty good reads and it gives ideas on how to improve on your storage system.

Brickset has just revealed a brand new line coming out soon called LEGO Brick Sketches. As you can see from the images, they look very familiar. That is because the designer for these sketches is Chris McVeigh. You may have seen his work a few years ago before he was hired by LEGO and now his idea has became official sets.

As for the LEGO Brick Sketches, there are four sets in the initial wave including Batman (40386), First Order Stormtrooper (40391), The Joker, (40428), and BB-8 (40431). There’s no word on pricing or when they will be available but I’m guessing these are the August 1 summer wave sets.

Chronicle Books LEGO Stationery Product Review

LEGO Brick Erasers & Note Brick

Today, we are looking at some LEGO products that are not your standard bricks you can build with but some newly released stationery products from Chronicle Books. First off, we have the LEGO Brick Erasers which retail for $15.95 for a pack of eight and the come packaged in a nice little pull-out holder. They are stylized in the classic 2×4 bricks and have a more pastel hue to them instead of your traditional colors. They aren’t connectable because there are no holes at the bottom but they do have the LEGO logo on the studs. I guess this is a good compromise because they are erasers and they would disappear more quickly if there were holes.

LEGO Education Announces First LEGO League RePLAY Season

May 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Education and the First LEGO League has announced their 2020-2021 season theme and it is called RePLAY. The tasks for this theme is health, sports, and fitness. There are also some new sets to be used for each division which you can see below.

LEGO® Education and FIRST® are excited to unveil RePLAY, the new 2020-2021 FIRST® LEGO® League season theme, with a short video on social media. For the new season, students will complete tasks related to health, sports, and fitness. Team registration for all three age divisions is now open for the season launching on August 4, 2020.

Once again, students will be tasked with completing a challenge designed in partnership with a panel of experts using a variety of LEGO Education products, including LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3, and the newest LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Prime Expansion set.

A keen eye may notice that with the new season, FIRST LEGO League is introducing a simplified program structure with three divisions: Challenge (ages 9-14), Explore (ages 6-10), and Discover (ages 4-6). While the branding will change, the program’s impact and experience remain the same. Through the three divisions of FIRST® LEGO® League the 2020-2021 PLAYMAKERS and RePLAY season will reach nearly 500,000 children, ages 4 to 16, from 100+ countries.

I recently heard an incredible story that highlights the lasting impact of FIRST LEGO League and how the skills participants learn extend well beyond the season. Started by a New Jersey FLL coach, a network of students, coaches

Slovak site Svetmodelov.sk has posted more product listings for upcoming LEGO Super Mario theme. They are loosely translated so they aren’t very accurate. It looks like these are to customize the Mario device to other costumes that he has worn in the franchise. I’m curious to see if Flying Mario is Raccoon Mario or Cape Mario. As of now, we still haven’t seen much out of the theme but hopefully we get some more details soon. It was rumored that LEGO was to reveal more about it during San Diego Comic Con but we’ll see what happens now since SDCC moved to a virtual format for this year.

LEGO Product Availability Update

May 14, 2020 / / 0 Comments

You may have noticed that a lot of sets on LEGO Shop@Home have been on backorder status for a while now and LEGO has given an explanation on future product availability. It nothing too out of the ordinary but at least there are updates on the situation.

During the past few months we have seen a strong demand for our products as families and hobbyists turn to building to help them get through this difficult period. As a result, we have been working incredibly hard to make sure that our products are available online in our stores and our retail partners’ e-commerce sites.

We have been fortunate that our factories in Europe and Asia continue to operate. Our factory in Mexico has been closed for the past few weeks after the Mexican government ordered all non-essential manufacturing sites to close while the country focused on preventing the spread of the virus. We have been using our full global supply chain to ship products to all markets and fulfill orders as best as possible.

While COVID has created a very dynamic and uncertain environment, at this stage it hasn’t impacted decisions about when to retire products.

So far we have seen very limited disruption to supply and at this stage we continue to be able to supply our retail partners and our e-commerce store on LEGO.com.

Does this mean there will be a shortage of LEGO products?

We have products in distribution centres and warehouses and are working hard to fulfill orders. We also have a global

How to Motorize LEGO Fairground Collection Haunted House (10273)

May 14, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday’s announcement for the LEGO Fairground Collection Haunted House (10273) had an overwhelming positive response from the community and one of the main features is the Tower of Terror style free-fall ride that is in the back. Of course you can manually crank the lift up but you can also motorize it with the use of the Powered Up app.

On the back of the box, it shows that you’ll need the Powered Up Hub (88009) along with two Medium Motor (88008), and the free app. I assume all of these is to control how fast the lift goes up or down but there’s no information about that in the press release. Note that those parts are not included with the set so you’ll have to purchase them separately to get the full experience. I’m sure some of you will try to integrate the older Power Functions in it as a replacement if it is possible.

LEGO Ideas Holiday (Vacation) Build Contest for Future GWP Set

May 11, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has recently kicked off a new building contest on LEGO Ideas where the winning build will be turned into a future gift-with-purchase set. This is similar to the Moments in Space Space Rocket Ride (40335) from a few years back. The object is to build something that is related to a holiday which is the UK version of a vacation. The minimum amounts of bricks needed is 150 bricks and the max is 250. The grand prize winner will get a slew of great prizes but the best one is probably your build being an official LEGO set. The deadline to submit your entries is June 12 at 6am EST.

Your dream holiday… What does that look like? Is it enjoying a meal with friends and family? Is it exploring coral reefs in tropical waters? In this contest, we’re asking you to come up with a small model that helps turn that holiday into THAT holiday. It could be a rowing boat to go fishing in, a picnic bench to enjoy a BBQ with. Use your own holidays or your dream holidays as inspiration!

The only restrictions are that your model should be at most 250 bricks, with a minimum of 150 bricks.

Maybe research some holidays you dream of taking, and get building!

As the Grand Prize winner of this contest you will get the exclusive opportunity to have your model transformed into a new LEGO Gift with Purchase set. On top of that, you will also receive the following:

LEGO Ideas The Mountain Windmill Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 11, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The Mountain Windmill by Hanwasyellowfirst is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build seems to be an original idea but it has a very The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild feel to it considering it is the same builder that has the BotW Stables project currently in review. It has 2,031 pieces and also includes two minifigures, the miller and village boy. This is the first project to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.

The Brick Fan at RLFM Days 2020

May 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The 2020 Recognized LEGO Fan Media Days is coming up at the end of the month and we here at The Brick Fan are lucky enough to be attending this event. Unfortunately due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, flying to Denmark is out of the question so LEGO will be holding online sessions for it. This is a new thing and there were limited spots for who we can interview and yesterday we got our choices. The themes that we are able to interview are:

• Minifigures (I assume this is for the Collectible Minifigures)
• Confidential New Product (Monkie Kid)
• Element Design
• LEGO Ideas

We’ll be asking the LEGO Designers from those themes and you guys also have an opportunity to ask questions as well. Keep in mind LEGO won’t answer any questions about future products. Leave your questions below or on any of our social media posts and we’ll pick out some of the best questions and send them along.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Release Date Reportedly to be October 20

May 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Earlier this week, TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment revealed a new key art for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. A few days after, Star Wars released a this week’s recap video and they also talked about the game. According to Reddit, they had to reupload the video due to them reportedly revealing the release date of the game on accident. The new video doesn’t show the date to be October 20 which has been clipped out but many fans noticed it.

In a recent interview, Lucasfilm Games managing producer Craig Derrick says there will be about 500 Star Wars characters in the game with a lot of them being playable ones. There’s not much more details about the game that were revealed in terms of gameplay. I’m guessing the details are being held off until video game announcement season later this summer. As we know by now, E3 has been cancelled as well as San Diego Comic Con so any new gameplay hopefully will be shown online at their discretion since we know absolutely nothing about it even after a year after being announced and if the game is to be released in October, we’ll most likely see more of it by then.

Is LEGO Overwatch Theme Cancelled?

May 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

For those who know me, I’m a huge fan of Overwatch and have been collecting many things from the line including the LEGO Overwatch sets. It’s a pretty niche theme but there were some cool parts and minifigures that have come out of it. The sets did release when the hype for the game died down substantially but there were still many dedicated players and fans.

Since the game was released, there were 21 original characters available to play and by the time the sets were released in January 2019, there were 29 total characters. Out of those 29, we only had minifigures of 15 of them, 16 if you count Bastion, however we were still missing some popular characters like Lucio and Mei. In fact, we didn’t get six minifigures from the original characters (Lucio, Mei, Torbjorn, Zenyatta, Symmetra, and Zarya).

Fast forward to summer 2019 when there were rumors of another wave that set to release some time in 2020. Brickset has sets 76978-76983 in their database since July 2019 but those are just placeholders. I’ve been talking to friends and reading online and most have been saying that we may not see another wave of LEGO Overwatch sets and the theme may have been cancelled outright. However, I want to note that Overwatch 2 was to be released this year but was delayed and those placeholder sets could have been tied to the sequel. Whatever the case is, LEGO won’t speak on such matters so we don’t exactly know what is going on … Continue

LEGO Announces LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery Interviews

May 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO House in Denmark is still closed as the country has still not opened up but LEGO is looking to focus more on the virtual environment as they have launched recently launched a new YouTube channel for the LEGO House. They have also started a new series for the Masterpiece Gallery in which they interview builders who have their work displayed at the LEGO House.

The long awaited statement from the Danish Prime Minister on Thursday did unfortunately not change the situation for LEGO House. We still hope that we’ll be able to open before the summer holidays but nothing is for certain yet. Therefore LEGO House is still closed until further notice.

Instead we have decided to bring some of the LEGO House atmosphere home to our friends around the world. For weeks we have been creating “LEGO House @Home content” for our social media channels with tips and building tricks for family co-building at home.

Now we are adding a new layer specifically for adult fans.

As you know the Masterpiece Gallery is dedicated to exhibit LEGO masterpieces built by AFOLs from around the world. We have initiated making virtual interviews with all the builders to let them introduce their models and the thinking behind them.

The idea is to regularly upload new interviews at the LEGO House Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtyUPWUSp6I3bLgr3BQqL0w

The first interview went live today – here you get a peak behind the scenes of the amazing microscale LEGO city built by Caroline, also known as @Caz Mockett.

New LEGO Monkie Kid Character Poster Teasers

May 8, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Hong Kong has posted more teaser posters for the upcoming LEGO Monkie Kid theme in which they introduce four new characters. Each poster gives a short description of the characters but if you know the Journey of the West story, you will know who the posters are referring to.

他上天下地 – He goes to Heaven and comes back to Earth. Obviously, this is to reference to Sun Wukong but in this version, it is Monkie Kid.

他以食為天 – Food is the most important. This is for Pigsy as he loves to eat. He is also known as Zhu Bajie.

他威猛强悍 – He is powerful. This is Sandy and he is a powerful warrior also known as Monk Sha.

她智勇双全 – She is full of wisdom and courage. Not sure who they are referring to, maybe a brand new character.

I know a lot of us are disappointed that we aren’t able to get the LEGO House Dinosaurs (40366) here in the US but our consolation is that LEGO has provided the instructions for us to build our own. Each of the dinosaurs have their own PDF and none of the parts are exclusive to this set. However, there are a number of them that are still very rare and don’t appear in many other sets but you can substitute them if they aren’t on the exterior areas of the build.

LEGO House Exclusives Available on Shop@Home – Not Available in US

May 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

In the middle of the night, LEGO released their LEGO House exclusive sets on Shop@Home for sale for a limited time. The US won’t be getting any of the sets due to legal requirements not on the packaging and instructions so we’ll have to find contacts that are able to get them. This is a real bummer because LEGO first announced that one of the sets was going to be available then they released a statement saying it won’t be. I believe the LEGO House is sold out but the other two sets as of this writing are still available in the UK, Ireland, and Denmark.

The LEGO House exclusive sets were produced with the intention of only being sold in the LEGO House Store in Billund, DK. As such, the packaging and building instructions for these sets do not contain the legal requirements necessary for distribution in many other countries around the world. The LEGO House Architecture set will be available in all European countries, while distribution of LEGO House Dinosaurs and LEGO House Tree of Creativity will be limited to Denmark, UK, and Ireland.

LEGO House Dinosaurs (40366)

UK – £74.99 | Ireland – €84.99 | Denmark – 749,00 kr.

The LEGO Group Announces Changes to Board of Directors

May 6, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO announced some changes to their Board of Directors with with one member stepping down and another joins. CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd Kåre Schultz left the Board while Netflix Board of Director Anne Sweeney joins LEGO. These changes probably won’t affect us consumers directly but Sweeney did work for Disney, ABC, Nickelodeon, and Fox so she does have a great entertainment background which could help LEGO in that aspect.

The LEGO Group today announced two changes to its Board of Directors as Kåre Schultz, CEO Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd steps down and Anne Sweeney, a member of the Board of Directors at Netflix, joins with immediate effect.

Anne is also a member of the Board of Trustees at the Mayo Clinic, and a Deans Distinguished Fellow at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.

Prior to embarking on a new chapter in the entertainment industry in 2015, Anne was Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks, and President, Disney/ABC Television Group, which includes The Walt Disney Company’s global entertainment and news television properties, owned television stations group, as well as radio and publishing businesses.

Anne has a BA degree from The College of New Rochelle and an Ed. M. degree from Harvard University.

Chairman of the Board of Directors, Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, commented:

“LEGO A/S has developed tremendously since 2007 when Kåre Schultz first joined as a Member of the Board. I would like to thank Kåre for his dedicated contributions to this development over more than 12 years. Furthermore, I am pleased

Well it looks like the LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage is set as a whopping 26 projects qualify for a chance to become a LEGO Ideas set. Also the Earth Globe project also snuck in at the last minute so it’ll have to go up against the most number of projects ever that qualified in any stage. Now the hard part for LEGO is to decide which projects will become official LEGO Ideas sets and how many they decide to pass. If you remember from a few weeks ago, I did a post questioning if there should be some changes to LEGO Ideas considering that we’ve been getting more and more projects that qualify. Which one(s) do you think will pass?

New LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Key Art Revealed

May 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

It’s Star Wars Day and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment along with TT Games has shared a new piece of key art for the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. There’s no details on when the game will be released but the blurb does say more details will be coming this summer. E3 has already been cancelled but companies may very well do their reveals online so that could also happen with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

Encapsulating the game’s epic blend of the three Star Wars trilogies, the key art includes some of the greatest heroes and villains seen throughout the Skywalker saga. Players can fight against the forces of evil as favorite characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Rey, Finn, BB-8 and a legion of other heroes, or turn to the dark side as Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and more.

Thrilling locales also serve as a backdrop to the action-packed key art as players can engage in some of the films’ most legendary battles. From the landmark start to the Clone Wars in the Battle of Geonosis to manning an Alliance snowspeeder at the Battle of Hoth to take on the Imperial’s treacherous ground forces, generations of Star Wars lore and fandom will collide in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

More information on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will come this summer.

One of my favorite summer 2020 sets we’ve seen so far is the LEGO Creator Pirate Ship (31109).

The main build of the 1,264 piece set is the pirate ship itself and the other builds include a reimagining of Skull Island as well as a tavern.

How LEGO is Helping Families Affected by COVID-19 Around the World

May 2, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Earlier this year, LEGO announced some initiatives to help children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic. A few days ago, they released a press release showing what the company has been doing for those affected around the world.

How we’re helping families impacted by COVID-19

Our commitment to ensuring we reach crisis-affected children with learning through play support and vital supplies.

With 90% of the world’s student population currently out of school, and millions of families facing financial, job or medical insecurity, the global impact of COVID-19 on children’s wellbeing and development is unprecedented.

We’ve been inspired and humbled by the work that thousands of amazing charities, NGOs and not-for-profit organisations are doing to provide essential services to families during this time – whether that be ensuring children continue to have access to education, or helping the youngest members of our communities feel safe, valued and supported.

But in many cases, these organisations are facing an unparalleled demand for their services.

That’s why we’ve joined forces with the LEGO Foundation, pledging US $50m to support children impacted by COVID-19. Part of the funding will go to new and existing partners in our local communities to help them reach crisis-affected children with vital supplies and opportunities to learn through play to support their well-being and the development of essential life skills.

Here are just few examples of the many ways these incredible organisations support children day-after-day.

LEGO House Exclusives Shop@Home Distribution Reasoning

May 1, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we reported that some LEGO House exclusive sets would be sold on Shop@Home sometime in May. There were a few of them that would only be sold in the UK, Denmark, and Germany and fans from other countries questioned why. We finally have an answer to that question coming from the LEGO House through the LEGO Ambassador Network.

The reason is the sets don’t have the legal requirements for distribution outside of those countries. This means the packaging and instructions don’t have the legalese on them to be sold. It’s very unfortunate but hopefully they hit the secondary market without paying an arm and a leg for them.

The LEGO House exclusive sets were produced with the intention of only being sold in the LEGO House Store in Billund, DK. As such, the packaging and building instructions for these sets do not contain the legal requirements necessary for distribution in many other countries around the world. The LEGO House Architecture set will be available in all European countries, while distribution of LEGO House Dinosaurs and LEGO House Tree of Creativity will be limited to Denmark, UK, and Ireland.

LEGO to Shut Down Sohobricks in May

April 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Last year when LEGO acquired BrickLink, they also got Sohobricks as part of the deal. Unfortunately, a large investment in resources would be needed to sustain the business and to run it efficiently. Therefore, LEGO has decided to shut down Sohobricks at the end of May. BrickLink is still a priority for the company and they will continue to work on that platform and will be sharing updates when possible.

In December 2019 we bought Sohobricks as part of our acquisition of Bricklink. Since then we have been working closely with the Sohobricks team to understand their business and operations. As part of this review, we found that a very significant investment would be needed to create a sustainable business and upgrade manufacturing operations to run efficiently and meet our operational standards.

Unfortunately, such a large investment is simply not commercially viable. As a result, we have made the extremely difficult decision to close Sohobricks from the end of May 2020. We will now focus on supporting Sohobricks’ employees. There are currently 34 people working in the business and we will provide them with financial packages that reflect their years of service and are above the statutory requirements. We will also offer a professional outplacement service that will provide financial advice and assistance in finding a new job.

We would like to thank the Sohobricks team for all that they have done. We know this will be a difficult time for them and we are committed to doing what we can to help them through this.

Should There be Changes to LEGO Ideas?

April 22, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review qualifiers still has a few days left to go until it ends with a few more projects that could squeeze in as well. As of this writing, there are an astounding 20 projects that currently qualify for the First 2020 Review Stage. This is the most project that we’ve had hit 10,000 supporters in any stage. This brings up the point of if LEGO needs to pass more sets to become official LEGO Ideas sets or if it’s time for LEGO to bump up the number of supporters needed to qualify. I’ve seen both sides of the argument and both are valid points.

I believe the most projects that went on to pass a particular review stage is three which was from the First 2019 Review Stage. This includes projects that need further evaluation and was brought over to the next review stage. Keep in mind that the number of qualifiers were less than 10. Now for this current stage, there are a whopping 20 projects that fans felt deserve to become a LEGO Ideas set. Could we perhaps see up to four or five projects that should be a set for this round? Obviously, we have to weigh the distribution of official sets by the number of qualifiers and adjust accordingly which is probably the most logical thing to do.

The other point is to up the number of supporters needed to actually qualify for the review stage. LEGO Ideas has grown a lot since its inception and … Continue
