The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks Now Shipping

December 1, 2022 / / 0 Comments

It’s been a while since we’ve heard about The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks crowdfunding project but it looks like there’s some good news. The books are finally shipping out to supporters and some of you may have yours delivered already. An update on one of Unbound’s posts says the rewards should be sent out with the books and everything comes in one package. I’ve already heard from people that isn’t the case.

One of the more popular rewards was the LEGO pogo stick prototype element and minifigure which is one of LEGO’s first 3D printed elements. Some people who had that reward tier didn’t get theirs in the package and only got the book. I can only say contact Unbound in this situation and see if they can fix it. Just a side note, the pogo stick proto is already going for over $1000 on the secondary market.

Protecting the LEGO Minifigure Trademark – Official Statement

November 11, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Earlier this summer, LEGO announced that they will be taking measures to protect their minifigure branding on what you can and cannot do to a minifigure. LEGO legal has released an official statement regarding the practice of customizing LEGO minifigures with 3rd party logos, organization names, and trademarks.

Customized LEGO Minifigures with printed 3rd party logos, names of organizations, and trademarks are not allowed. It’s not acceptable to use of the registered Minifigure trademark in combination with 3rd party symbols. The reason for the rule is that a trademark cannot simultaneously serve as an exclusive, representative symbol of two different entities. The ability of the Minifigure to serve as a distinctive LEGO brand symbol is reduced when a Minifigure is also printed with the name, logo, symbol, or other representative indicia of another entity. Left unchallenged, such use by third-party entities could put our rights in the Minifigure at risk and could eventually result in the loss of our company’s exclusive rights. This is something that we cannot risk.

Therefore, we must request that the community refrain from printing any 3rd party logos, names of organizations, and trademarks onto LEGO Minifigures, and refrain from using, ordering, distributing or selling Minifigures in such customized versions.

We understand that the AFOL Community would still like to celebrate their community events and activities via use of customized items and are pleased to confirm that according to current corporate policy fans are free to print graphics on LEGO brick elements and custom builds made of LEGO brick elements to celebrate

LEGO Announces Rebuild the World Holiday Campaign with Katy Perry

November 1, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced that they are teaming up with Katy Perry for a new Rebuild the World Holiday campaign. The mystery silhouette that we saw a few days ago was a vehicle that kids created using LEGO bricks and was made into a real-life vehicle. It will be used to deliver presents during the holiday season.

In addition, the annual #BuildToGive campaign will be returing this year and LEGO is looking to donate two million sets to children in hospitals, children’s homes, and vulnerable communities. All you have to do is buiding something and share it on social media using the hashtag #BuildToGive before the end of the year.

The LEGO Group hand over the reins of its Holiday campaign to children (and Katy Perry adds a few extra Fireworks!)

Billund, November 1st, 2022 (9AM CET): The LEGO Group has launched its biggest and most playful Holiday campaign to date. This year, the 90-year-old brand turned to some of the most creative minds on the planet, children, to help supercharge its festive celebrations with fun.

The children were handed creative control behind the cameras, building, unbuilding and rebuilding what the Holidays mean to them. Rather than picture-perfect shots of snow, exquisitely set tables full of festive feasts, and crackling open fires, the children chose to design, build and bring to life a playful vehicle to help them deliver presents and bring the community together over the Holiday season.

The film shows children using play to navigate their way and overcome obstacles on their journey to deliver

LEGO November 2022 Shopping Guide

October 28, 2022 / / 0 Comments

November is just around the corner and it looks to be a fairly slow month with the LEGO releases. As of this post, we only know about the LEGO Ideas Table Football (21337) and the LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster (76210) which will be dropping November 1 and 4, respectively. There is a rumor about a LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower (10307) that will be releasing during the Black Friday event but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.

As of the the gift with purchases you can get during November, those are still under wraps since LEGO doesn’t promote them anymore until the month is actually here. There are rumors of three promotions throughout the month but two of them are said to be during Black Friday/VIP weekend. One is Gustave Eiffel’s Apartment (40579) which is given with purchases of the Eiffel Tower.

Another GWP during Black Friday/VIP weekend is a Tribute to the LEGO House (40563). It is reported that it is a minimum purchase amount GWP. Lastly, there some sort of Winter set with set number 40564. Details are very minimal on this one.

Of course, we also get Double VIP points as LEGO has been doing that during Black Friday/VIP weekend for many years now. A lot of people usually wait until then to make their purchases in November since there are a few promos that overlap during that time.

LEGO MINDSTORMS Theme Ending

October 26, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO MINDSTORMS theme has been a staple for the company since the theme was first introduced in 1998 but it looks like the theme will be ending at the end of 2022. With LEGO Education and other Build & Code experiences in place, they are shifting priorities and the LEGO MINDSTORMS team will be redirected into other departments.

This means all MINDSTORMS related items will be retired by the end of the year but the MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor App will be live until at least the end of 2024. LEGO will still keep the MINDSTORMS trademark and is accessing the opportunity to implement it with LEGO Education.

Since its launch in September 1998, LEGO MINDSTORMS has been one of the core ‘Build & Code’ experiences in the company’s portfolio, carrying with it significant brand equity and becoming a stand-out experience for the early days of consumer robotics and leading to current wBuild & Code experiences such as SPIKE Prime, from LEGO Education’s LEGO Learning System.

However, now having a number of priorities in LEGO Education and other Build & Code experiences, we have decided to focus our resources and future plans by redirecting our MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor team and their expertise into different areas of the business.

This means the physical MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor product (51515) and its related elements (88016 and 88018) are to exit our portfolio from the end of 2022, whilst digital platforms – such as the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor App – will remain live until at least the end of

LEGO has announced the winners of the LEGO Ideas First 2022 Review Stage and we actually have more than one project chosen. Out of the 39 projects that were in the running, LEGO has picked four to become official LEGO Ideas sets. These projects include:

LEGO Insects by hachiroku24

A huge congratulations to Fan Designer José María (aka hachiroku24). José María has hit a homerun with his small builds inspired by 5 different insects found around the world. He has captured the colours, shapes and overall details so well that it’s hard to tell they are brick-built! We think they will be a great way to bring a piece of nature into your home without bugging you!

The Orient Express, a Legendary Train by LEt.sGO

Big congratulations to Fan Designer Thomas Lajon (aka LEt.sGO). We’re so excited to finally give our fans a train set! There are a few trains as famous as the Orient Express but none of them can rival the elegance, luxury and history that comes with it. Thomas has poured a lot of love into capturing the details from the locomotive and coal car to the restaurant car to make sure this is the perfect tribute to such a legendary train. It’s a special privilege to bring this creation to life in LEGO bricks!

Tales of the Space Age by john_carter

A huge congratulations to our first Polish Fan Designer Jan Woźnica (aka john_carter). Jan’s 3-piece product idea intrigued our review board and we’re certain it also caught the fascination of the

The non-DeLorean named Back to the Future Time Machine is now widely available and the LEGO Shop finally has inventory on it since it had a $30 price bump on it back in August.

LEGO Day at Macy’s and Toys R Us Follow Up

October 23, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday was LEGO Day at Macy’s and Toys R Us stores and fans who attended was supposed to get the items shown above but it didn’t happen that way for a lot of stores. From the pictures I’ve been sent, some stores did get polybags but I didn’t see any with the Clown (30565) but there were reports of that got the advertised items.

Some stores got five polybags including DUPLO My First Space Rocket (30332), DOTS Adventure Bracelets (41918), Build Your Own Monster or Vehicles – Make It Yours (30564), Parrot (30472), and LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Plantimal Ambush (30460) along with a Series 22 Minifigure blind bag, the LEGO Masters swoop bag, and a Star Wars poster. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some only got the Series 22 minifigure which was a definite waste of time. Sounds like a miscommunication somewhere between LEGO and the stores. I’ve reached out to LEGO to see what happened there.

LEGO Celebrates International Day of the Girl 2022 with New Campaign

October 11, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO celebrates International Day of the Girl with a new campaign encouraging girls to stay curious about STEAM subjects and careers. The campaign is to discourage misconceptions that girls don’t aren’t interested in STEAM fields. LEGO has launched a new campaign called Let’s Keep Them Curious! which includes 5 LEGO play STEAM building activities.

The LEGO Group invites girls to stay curious in STEAM subjects on International Day of the Girl

· New research shows girls still aren’t pursuing careers in STEAM
· US$120,000 donation to the Obama Foundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance
· Online campaign called ‘Let’s Keep them Curious!’ including 5 LEGO® play STEAM building activities

Billund, October 11th, 2022: The LEGO Group marks International Day of the Girl with a new campaign to encourage girls to stay curious about STEAM subjects and careers. New and sobering statistics from the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and the LEGO Group show girls are still discouraged from STEAM fields from a young age when play is often gender stereotyped.

For example, one statistic in the “Geena Davis Institute LEGO® Creativity Study” shows 80% of boys are encouraged to code at a young age, compared with only 20% of girls. Furthermore, when asked, children as young as six think girls don’t like science. These misconceptions extend into the teen years and adulthood and contribute to the gender gap within STEAM related careers.

To help combat these misconceptions, the LEGO Group is launching an online campaign called ‘Let’s Keep them Curious!’ that includes 5 STEAM play activities

With the end of LEGO Ninjago Crystalized, show creator Tommy Andreasen has announced that this will be the end of his involvement with the Ninjago series. Since the start of the theme in 2011, Tommy had been involvement in pretty much all aspects of the show and the LEGO sets. Now that he has stepped away, he will also stop Ninjago related activities on Twitter which he opened engaged in conversation with fans. He will also stop answering questions about past Ninjago seasons as well.

As we all know by now, LEGO Ninjago will not be completely ending as it will be returning in 2023 with a new series. Tommy stated that it is important for the Ninjago team to find their own voice and to speak for themselves. I hope that whoever will be taking the mantle will be engaging with fans as Tommy was. If I’m not mistaken, Tommy is still a Senior Creative Manager at LEGO so he’ll be working on other things now that he has moved on from Ninjago.

We wish Tommy good luck in his future endeavors.

LEGO Hidden Side App Discontinuing in 2023

September 24, 2022 / / 0 Comments

If you’re still using the LEGO Hidden Side app for whatever reason, you only have a few months left on it. When you start up the app, you get a message from J.B. saying that the servers will be shutting down and the app will become discontinued at the beginning of 2023. The theme ended at the end of 2020 and I was surprised that the game actually lasted this long.

Although LEGO is still committed to the long-term digitialization goal, it hasn’t really worked out for them according to the last few themes that required apps. LEGO Fusion back in 2014 was a total flop. LEGO Hidden Side had potential but didn’t last either. LEGO VIDIYO was cancelled after only a few month but is looking to release new play experiences in 2023. The LEGO Super Mario theme doesn’t seem to be doing well either. The Luigi’s Mansion sets are already discounted and they don’t seem to be moving. Let’s see what LEGO has planned for other app-required themes but so far, kids seem to like to keep their physical and digital play separate.

LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267) Featured in The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer

The Mandalorian Season 3 teaser trailer dropped earlier today and it looks to feature a now-retired LEGO set. During Bo-Katan Kryze’s voiceover, four other Mandalorians appear on screen which looks extremely close to the LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267).

The set was one of the most popular sets when it first released back in 2020 and it retired at the end of last year. With the trailer showing them, the price of the set may definitely rise a bit more on the secondary market as LEGO fans scramble to find it. It is listed on Amazon for $24.99 which is $10 more than retail but it might as well be normal price now compared to sets that are currently on shelves.

LEGO 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244) Review

September 5, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Back in early August, LEGO teamed up with Walmart for an exclusive 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244). All you had to do was buy $50 worth of qualifying LEGO sets from August 8-24 and upload your receipt by August 31 to get one. As of two weeks ago, they have started shipping out the sets and they would come in an unsuspecting yellow envelope. For me, I didn’t get any confirmation emails or shipping emails and it just randomly showed up in the mail today.

LEGO 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244)

With the package, you get a ziplocked bag with the parts and the instructions for the Mini Castle. The set has 158 pieces and all the pieces included are used so there are no extra ones.

The Mini Castle is a reimagining of the Yellow Castle (375) from 1978 and it sits on some rocky land with a river going around it. The castle has a printed shield for LEGO’s 90 Years of Play right in the middle. A small runs on the side and around the front under the drawbridge. There are some trees on the rocks and the plains.

LEGO 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244)

LEGO 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244)

Overall, the LEGO 90th Anniversary Mini Castle (6426244) is a neat little set if you are able to get one. It captures the celebration very well by using one of their most iconic sets in a smaller form. The problem with the set isn’t the set itself but the logistics of getting it.

Since the start of the ongoing war in Ukraine, approximately 15.7 million people are in need of help, 12.4 million* have been displaced and 3.6 million** Ukrainian children have had their education disrupted. Today’s donation aims to ensure Ukraine’s children have the chance to continue learning during their crucial developmental years while also ensuring that mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is available to support well-being.

The new 100M DKK follows the March 2022 emergency donation of 110M DKK made jointly by the LEGO Foundation, the LEGO Group and Ole Kirk’s Fond for the provision of general humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian people. The latest funds to support the recovery of Ukraine and will be distributed via LEGO Foundation partners including United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the MHPSS Collaborative and Peppy Pals, as well as other organisations already

There are two minifigures in this set, the lighthouse keeper and the sailor. The lighthouse keeper has on a blue suit with a pocket watch hanging out the pocket. His head shows him with a nervous smile. He has a telescope as an accessory.

The sailor has on a nice looking green and tan outfit. She does have the hat in a new dark green color. She has a printed 1×1 tile of a compass as an accessory.

Build

Before we start, there is a boat included with the set and this is the first time that it has been in a white color. There is a sticker on the back naming it Leda. It most likely refers to someone important to the LEGO designer or fan designer. Also included with the set is a cat companion.

The lighthouse sits on top of a rocky island structure. It utilizes a number of BURPs to give the structure some height as well to give some space for some hidden areas underneath the lighthouse. Here we have the Powered Up battery box which is concealed on one side of the island. The rock section easily pops off to get to the box. On the other side, there’s a little opening in the rocks … Continue

Is the LEGO DC Super Heroes Theme Dead?

August 31, 2022 / / 0 Comments

One LEGO theme that was notably missing in 2022 was LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes. So there have been no sets released this year in the US unless you count The Batman Batmobile (30455) polybag which was found in a limited supply at Walmart. There’s also the Batman versus Harley Quinn (76220) 4+ set that was revealed a few weeks ago but no release date for it. Lastly, there was a rumored The Flash set but the movie was pushed back to 2023 so that set is delayed as well.

The LEGO DC theme has been a staple since 2012 with many characters making appearances in some very good sets. We even had a few video games that were a hit with fans. From 2019-2021, we got some of the larger scale builds like the 1989 Batmobile (76139), 1989 Batwing (76161), and Tumbler (76240) and we thought there was some opportunity for more larger scale vehicles for the future but that didn’t happen this year. LEGO also could’ve had a chance this year for the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series but that didn’t happen either.

So far for 2023, there has only been one rumored set and that is for a Technic Batcycle (42155) for The Batman which will be paired next to the Batmobile (42127). Other than that, there was been no other rumors for any LEGO DC sets for 2023 and that is making fans really disappointed with the theme.

Can we now say that the LEGO DC theme … Continue

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226) Review

August 30, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

In my other review of the new LEGO Marvel figures for 2022, we take a look at Spider-Man (76226). This one is 258 pieces and also is priced at $24.99 like with the other figures in the wave.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

The first few steps of the build is pretty much the exact same as Miles Morales (76225) for torso area. One you get to the arms, there are subtle difference between the two. All the joints have either ball joints or click joints to give him a wide range of motion. You can easily get him in a lot of action poses but the main issue here is at the thighs. Like Miles Morales, the movement on the legs forward is limited and this also limits some of the crouching poses.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

Spider-Man does have a few more printed piece for his detailing which includes the head, chest, waist, and legs. I do like how the spider logo on the chest is made up of a printed hood and shield pieces.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

For his accessories, Spider-Man does have some web pieces which are the same as Miles but they are plain white.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226)

Like I said with Miles Morales, the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man (76226) isn’t for everyone. Kids will have fun posing him around but his legs do limit what he can do. He also has the head piece that makes him look weird in certain angles.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the … Continue

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225) Review

August 28, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

Releasing in September are some new LEGO Marvel figures and the first one I’ll be checking out is Miles Morales (76225). It has 238 pieces and retails for $24.99.

One thing LEGO has done really well with these figures is the range of poseability. Most of all the areas have ball joints or swivel joints. The legs use click joints to keep the figure standing upright while having a decent range of motion. This also hinders the legs moving forward so you can’t really get all the range that you should like any crouching motion.

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

The shoulder pads are able to lift up unlike Iron Man so the arms can be raised higher. The fingers also have some movement so you can get that web shooting finger style. Coming with the set are some translucent blue web accessories.

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

There are some nice printed pieces for the chest and the head but unfortunately, there is no printing on the back and it looks rather depressing from that angle. The headpiece uses the same one for all the characters so it has an odd shape.

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225)

Overall, the LEGO Marvel Miles Morales (76225) is a decent figure but there are those little things that take away from the model like the legs and the non-printed back. The initial impressions of the set when it was first revealed were mixed and I have a feeling that it’ll be like that again when people get their hands on it. Character figures aren’t fan favorites and it won’t be for everyone.… Continue

LEGO Speed Champions Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (76917) Rumored for 2023

August 22, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Back in 2020, LEGO has gotten the license for the Fast & Furious franchise and has been slowly releasing sets for the popular movies. So far, we’ve only gotten sets for Dominic Toretto including the LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger (42111) and newly released LEGO Speed Champions 1970 Dodge Charger R/T (76912). According to Promobricks, we may be seeing another addition in 2023 with a fan favorite character.

It has been rumored that we might be getting Brian O’Conner’s Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (76917) in early spring. If you’re not familiar with the movies, this car was driven by Paul Walker in the beginning of 2 Fast 2 Furious. Like with the other Speed Champions set, it will also include a minifigure, most likely of O’Conner. The price point should be around the same as the one right now unless something happens and has to bump the price up more.

LEGO Celebrates 90th Anniversary

August 10, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Today LEGO celebrates their 90th anniversary and is holding their first World Play Day. LEGO is holding various activities around the world for their 90 Years of Play.

Building the LEGO® Legacy – celebrating 90 years of creativity and playing well

The LEGO Group celebrates its 90th Anniversary with its first World Play Day as new research finds more than 80% of families want more play in their day.

Billund, Denmark: On Wednesday, 10th August, the LEGO Group will celebrate nine decades of fan creativity and helping children reach their full potential though LEGO® play. To mark the occasion, the brand will host its first ever World Play Day – a full day of play-packed global events, collaborations and surprises dedicated to helping families and communities play more.

From the moment Ole Kirk Kristiansen, a young Danish carpenter, picked up his tools and made his first wooden car in 1932 he was focused on making high-quality toys that teach children about the world and give them the skills to thrive in it. He named his company “LEGO” from “Leg Godt”, meaning “Play Well” in Danish. Inspiring fun, playful learning remains the toymaker’s purpose today.

In his small workshop in Billund, Demark, Ole hand-carved a collection of vehicles, ducks and yoyos and later started experimenting with plastic building bricks. His son, Godtfred, added a few small tubes to make the bricks click and stick together, officially launching the interlocking system we know today. The LEGO® brick that offers limitless creative building possibilities was born in 1958.

New LEGO Movie in Development – Announcements “Soon”

August 5, 2022 / / 0 Comments

We haven’t gotten a LEGO movie in theaters in three years but there’s recent news that one is currently in development. The LEGO Movie producer Dan Lin tells The Ankler podcast that the next movie is in the works and there should be some kind of announcement soon. At the end of the podcast, Lin says,

“We are very active in developing the next LEGO movie. We know we have to switch it up and take it a different kind of art form that’s still true to LEGO so we’ll have some announcements soon. I’m actually really excited about the progress that we’ve made. Lord and Miller really raised the bar for what a LEGO movie should look like and feel like and the tone. I think we’ve reinvented it in a really cool way but eager to announce it.”

If you don’t remember, LEGO signed a five year exclusive deal with Universal Pictures for development, production, and theatrical distribution for more LEGO movies after talks with Warner Bros. broke down. It’s been two years since the deal was signed and there has been absolutely no details about what the next LEGO movie will be about so we’ll see how long “soon” is.

August 5, 2022 / / 0 Comments

As we know by now the LEGO Star Wars AT-TE Walker (75337) has been delayed indefinitely here in North America but we may have a clue on when it will be releasing.

LEGO did say that the set will be delayed by a few weeks due to delivery challenges and couldn’t make the August 1 launch. Entertainment Earth didn’t give an exact date but is taking pre-orders for the set if you’re interested but if you’re waiting to get VIP points for it, that’s fine too. I’ll update when it does finally pop up on the LEGO Shop.

LEGO VIP Points Now Live at Target

July 31, 2022 / / 0 Comments

As reported yesterday, Target has started the LEGO VIP promotion where you can earn points with your purchases at Target. With their weekly reset, the landing page has updated and it gives you instructions on how to redeem the points. From now until January 31, 2023, you can earn 1 VIP point for every dollar spent on LEGO sets at Target. You will need to take a picture of your receipt, then upload the picture to the LEGO Rewards Center. A LEGO VIP account is required to participate and you can earn up to 1,000 points per calendar month.

Some will say that you will earn less VIP point and that is true since you earn 6.5 points/dollar spent instead of the 1:1 with Target however you can save 5% every order if you have the Target RedCard. With the amount of coupons and savings you get from Target, it pretty much about evens out. Also, Target likes to run sales from time to time on LEGO so there’s extra savings there as well.

LEGO VIP Points Available at Target

July 30, 2022 / / 0 Comments

There’s an image floating around the internet (can’t find original source) regarding LEGO VIP points being available at Target stores. The signage on the endcap says you can earn 1 VIP point for every dollar spent on LEGO sets at Target until January 31, 2023. The fine print also says that up to 1,000 VIP points can be earned in any calendar month. The QR code currently takes you to a blank page but I’m sure it’ll be updated soon.

I went to a few of my Target stores and they didn’t have any of the signs up yet and the shelves looked rather shallow. I’m not sure how Target will be implementing LEGO VIP points but I guess the receipt will give you a code to enter in the Rewards Center.

Thanks to Cedric for emailing it in.

LEGO Marvel Nano Gauntlet (76223) Review

July 29, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Continuing with our reviews of the LEGO Marvel Artifact sets, as I call it, we have the Nano Gauntlet (76223) from Avengers: Endgame. The set has 675 pieces and retails for $69.99. The set joins other builds from The Infinity Saga including the Infinity Gauntlet (76191) and Thor’s Hammer (76209).

LEGO Marvel Nano Gauntlet (76223)

The build is very straight-forward that is compacted into three numbered bags. The first set of bags are for the foundation of the gauntlet as well as the base that it sits on. There’s a lot of interesting parts usage to give it the SNOT look at the end.

LEGO Marvel Nano Gauntlet (76223)

For the second set of bags, we cover up the inner parts. There’s a lot of dark red combined with metallic silver surrounding the gauntlet. It makes use of sectioned panels to go into the corresponding areas.

LEGO Marvel Nano Gauntlet (76223)

Finally for the third bags, we create the fingers for the gauntlet. Each of the fingers has multiple joints for a wide variety of articulation. The thumb is a little stubby and seems shorter compared to the other fingers so you can’t really do the snap but you can get close to it. I do like the pearl gold underneath the fingers to give some contrast but it is a little inaccurate.

I’m guessing whatever LEGO Dreamzzz will be in the Play Zone like all the other interactive games are.

LEGO Star Wars AT-TE Walker (75337) Release Delayed

July 27, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Star Wars AT-TE Walker (75337) was revealed at LEGO Con last month and had a release date of August 1 but it looks like that won’t be happening. The product listing for the set took off the August 1 date and changed it to Coming Soon which means that the set has been delayed. LEGO has released a statement on the LAN regarding the delay.

Star Wars set 75337 was planned to launch in North America on August 1st, however, due to some delivery challenges, we expect it to be delayed by a few weeks.

As soon as we know a more precise date, we will update the shop website accordingly.

Due to “delivery challenges” the release of the AT-TE Walker has been postponed for a few weeks with no exact date announced yet. I’m guessing it’ll be out in September.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577)

The promotion for the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577) sold out on the LEGO Shop in North America after only a few days but we finally got our review copy in to check it out. The set has 224 pieces and you had to make a $130 LEGO Harry Potter purchase to get it. LEGO Stores may still have it in stock since the promotion is supposed to run until the end of July.

The set includes a minifigure of Hermione who is in the Hogwarts uniform with a skirt. Her double-sided head shows her with a smile on one side and a scared look on the other.

For the Grand Staircase, it’s a little smaller than I expected but it is able to fit in the current line of Hogwarts sets. There are some Technic pins on the backside that connects to other sections. The main feature of it is that the staircase is able to swivel to two different areas of Hogwarts.

One thing you’ll notice is that there is a lot of stickers for this set, 18 to be exact, all of which are for the Hogwarts portraits for the wizards and witches. The main one being the Fat Lady who is situated on the right wall. I’m surprised there isn’t one for Sir Cadogan and his horse. You can pop out the two larger panels to move them to the empty areas.

LEGO SDCC 2022 Behind the Bricks with LEGO Entertainment

I’m back from LEGO Entertainment panel at San Diego Comic Con 2022 which included various shows like Ninjago, Star Wars, City, Monkey Kid, Friends as well as LEGO Masters. The main thing that took the most time was for LEGO Ninjago and what happens in the second half of Crystalized and comes after that. We can confirm that Crystalized will be returning in October on Netflix. There’s no mentioning of it showing on any other platform. Dareth will be showing up again and Harumi will be featured more and will have a big impact for the Crystalized ending.

LEGO SDCC 2022 Behind the Bricks with LEGO Entertainment

The other big new is that LEGO Ninjago will not be ending this year but will be back with a new series in 2023. There was absolutely no details about the show except that it is not a reboot. Writer, Chris “Doc” Wyatt tried to give us some details but had the microphone taken away by Asa Tait. The only information that was given about the 2023 Ninjago series is that it is all new and all different in exciting ways. They said to use your imagination on what that could be. We’ll probably get snippets of it this winter when the 2023 LEGO sets are revealed.

LEGO SDCC 2022 Behind the Bricks with LEGO Entertainment

For the other part of the panel, we had some LEGO Star Wars shorts which featured Obi-Wan Kenobi dueling Darth Vader in the desert and Grogu building sandcastles. They were pretty funny.

First off for the animated shows, Spider-Man: Freshman Year will take us though high school and some of the villains will include Dr. Octavius, Chameleon, Speed Demon, Scorpion, and Butane the Pyromaniac. Harry Osborn and Amadeus Cho will also be in the series.

What If… Season 2 will have new scenarios of characters in other situations. It has been reported that some of the heroes and villains include Captain Carter, Steve Rogers as Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor Ragnarok’s Hela, Young Star-Lord and Ego, The Scarlet Witch, and Mandarin.

Lastly, we have X-Men ’97 which is a continuation of my favorite cartoon, X-Men the Animated Series.

Other characters that will also be in the show are Cable, Bishop, Forge, Morph, Nightcrawler, Mr. Sinister, Bolivar Trask and the Hellfire Club with Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw. As you … Continue

LEGO Minifigure Factory Now Live in US

July 23, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Minifigure Factory is now live on LEGO.com where you can customize your minifigures and have it shipped to you. It costs $11.99 and since it’s still in beta, you can only buy one per household at this time.

It’s actually very customizable as you can design every part of the minifigure. The head and legs have limited designs but the torso has a wide range of customization from where to put the design and wording. $12 for only one minifigures is pretty steep but you get to design it to your liking to an extent. I would suggest waiting for more options to open up before you commit to making one but there’s no word when they will start expanding.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2022 Day 1 Recap

July 21, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO SDCC 2022

Day 1 of San Diego Comic Con 2022 is in the books and here’s what went on for LEGO on the first day and it wasn’t much. The first thing that everybody has been asking for were the LEGO exclusives. I can confirm along with others that there will be no exclusives this year which was said from a few LEGO people at the booth and it looks like LEGO will be done with SDCC exclusives forever, from what I’ve been told by a source. I’ll just leave it at that and if some info comes out, I’ll report it but for now, that’s all that I will say.

The booth is still in the same spot as usual but there’s much more open area. Instead of play bricks, fans can play the Brick Catcher touch screen game to win a small retail set. From what I saw, the prizes are the small Classic sets like the Creative White Bricks (11012). I could’ve went in to try but waiting 15-20 minutes for a $5 set wasn’t worth my time.

The other side of the booth was the retail shop. You couldn’t really go in to buy but you got a menu sheet to choose what you wanted and they would bring it out from the back. There were some LEGO sets that were on display but nothing new that we haven’t seen before. I’m surpised there weren’t more reveals.

Update: I’ve been told that there were two GWPs, Electro (5002125) polybag with $70 purchase and … Continue

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577) Sold Out Online – North America

July 18, 2022 / / 0 Comments

A few days after the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577) went live on the LEGO Shop, it now seems to be sold out online in North America. That was pretty quick considering the purchase threshold was at $130 to get it and was gone in less than four days when the promotion was supposed to run until July 31. LEGO Brand Stores may still have them so I suggest calling your local store to see if they have any. It’s funny because my review copy is still in the mail to be delivered so the review will totally be outdated.

LEGO Files “Brick to the Future” Trademark

July 18, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Juris A/S has recently filed a trademark for the phrase “Brick to the Future” and could this mean that we could be seeing more Back to the Future products soon? Filed back on June 22, the trademark applies to games, toys, prints and publications, and other merchandise.

LEGO has already made a number of products based on the Back to the Future franchise with the first being the LEGO Cuusoo The DeLorian Time Machine (21103). Next came some sets for LEGO Dimensions including the Back to the Future Level Pack (71201) and Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230). There was also the LEGO BrickHeadz Back to the Future Marty McFly & Doc Brown (41611) which came out in 2018. Lastly, we have the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300) which has been out of stock since its release in April and had very small restocks.

Of course the phrase Brick to the Future doesn’t have to mean that it’s related to BTTF and could be for something totally different. We’ll keep an eye on this as it’ll take a while for the trademark application to get moving. It’ll be around six months before it is assigned to an examining attorney so we’ll circle back in December to see if there are any updates.

LEGO has shut down its operations in Russia indefinitely and will be laying off 90 employees according to Reuters. This is due to “extensive disruption” in the country which has lead to LEGO ending their contract with Inventive Retail Group who operates 81 LEGO stores.

It’s been highly unusual that no exclusives for LEGO has been announced since SDCC is literally one week away. We shall see in the upcoming days if they announce anything at all.

Reported LEGO Price Increase Set List via Barnes & Noble

July 10, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Last month, LEGO announced an upcoming price increase on sets that are coming as soon as August and now Barnes & Noble has given us a look at what we can expect to see for the new prices at retailers soon. Yesterday, the big news came out on B&N as they updated their site of over 60+ sets that have already gotten the price bump and it doesn’t look good as some sets will be getting an increase of up to 25%.

Note that the official prices on the LEGO Shop are the final prices and prices listed at other retailers are their own prices. With that said now that we can see what we can expect from other retailers, I highly suggest you take advantage of the upcoming Double VIP Points event from July 12-13 and Amazon Prime Day to get the most out of your money as wallet will be hurting in August. This also doesn’t look like it’s the final list if we’re comparing it to the list that StoneWars put out a while back and there will be more sets that will get the price hike later on.

No LEGO Listed in San Diego Comic Con 2022 Exclusives Portal

July 8, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The San Diego Comic Con 2022 exclusives portal has gone live but unfortunately, it doesn’t show any LEGO exclusives yet. In recent years, SDCC has put up a lottery system where you allocate points to whatever exclusives you are interested in and LEGO has usually been on the list but as of this writing, there are none listed for any days. I can’t see any of the exclusives since I am registered as “Press” and it is only open to General Attendees and Professionals but I’ve been told that there aren’t any LEGO list at this time.

I think SDCC is still working on the functionality of the portal as other people are having issues with it. I wouldn’t look too much into it right now as companies are still revealing their products for the show and the portal will still be open until July 15 at 12pm PT.
