Today is the last day to get your order in for the LEGO Double VIP Points shopping event on the LEGO Shop. This will most likely be the time that you can earn double points for a few months.

There are also a lot of sets that are still available like the LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime (10302) which is one of my favorite sets in 2022.

Again if you didn’t hear it yet, there will be a price increase on various LEGO sets starting in August and September so now is the best time to get anything on your wishlist to take advantage of double points and with the current price.

Protecting the LEGO Minifigure Trademark

June 28, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO minifigures are a way for fans to identify themselves physically and digitally and they are known as SigFigs. Some of them are customized to the point where there are 3rd party logos printed on it and sometimes companies also use them to put their names and trademarks on it. Today, LEGO has cracked down this practice to protect their minifigure branding by releasing a statement on what you can and cannot do to a minifigure. This means you can’t print any “3rd party logos, names of organizations, and trademarks onto LEGO MInifigures” and you can’t use, order, distribute, or sell minifigures with them. SigFigs looks to be fine as long as there is no 3rd party printing on it, aka your social media/YouTube channels.

I know that LUGs and 3rd party custom minifigure creators will be affected by this ruling. Some LUGs do use their logo on minifigures to identify themselves and to pass them out to visitors. The custom printing companies will also have to shift their focus as well since companies do like to request their company logos on minifigs for company gatherings and events. I’m not sure how it will be supported legally, whether you get a cease and desist letters or if you’re a LUG, get removed from the Ambassador Network for violations.

The good thing is that custom printing on regular LEGO bricks is still allowed so there’s still ways for LUGs and companies to promote their organizations.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Packaging Changes Coming Soon

June 27, 2022 / / 0 Comments

A few years ago, LEGO announced that they will be accelerating their sustainability efforts which included their packaging materials. This included changing the plastic bags to paper bags as well as for the instructions. Unfortunately, this also goes for the packaging for the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line. Starting in 2023, the minifigures will be packaged in cardboard boxes. This means that feeling for them to find the one you want, which we have done for years, will no longer be relevant. It has also been stated that there will be no indicators on the packaging to show which minifigures will be inside the boxes.

The concept of using cardboard packaging for minifigure type sets has been used for the LEGO VIDIYO Bandmates line and it will soon be implemented for the LEGO Super Mario Character Packs – Series 5 (71410). There is no doubt that this will resort to theft because it’ll be easy to just open up the box in stores and check whatever one is inside. Resellers will also get a boost in profits because they can sell “confirmed” minifigures for people who are looking to complete the set.

Below are some of the concept packaging that LEGO used in testing with people and somehow they landed on cardboard boxes. Obviously, the boxes are recyclable and it helps the environment and all that jazz but come on. The negatives of this decision will overshadow the positives, e.g. lost sales, interactivity with others. I know I’ve helped many people look for a particular minifigure … Continue

June 21, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Forest Hideout (40567)

LEGO celebrates their 90th anniversary this year and one of the promotions for this year is the Forest Hideout (40567). The set has 258 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $150 or more while supplies last. The set is a reimagining of the Forestmen’s Hideout (6054) from 1988.

LEGO Forest Hideout (40567)

There are two minifigures in the set, a male and female from the Forestmen faction. Both have the same torso and legs with the male having a bow and arrow and the female having the sword.

The first part of the build includes a target practice for the bow and arrow Forestman.

The hideout itself looks extremely similar to its predecessor with the hollow tree that opens up to reveal a ladder that goes up to a barrel.

The front of the hideout has a couple of the Forestmen shields that are hang high above.

LEGO Con 2022 Recap

June 19, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Con 2022 completed yesterday with a surprisingly positive response from viewers and there was a lot packed in the two hours of the event. There were more LEGO reveals compared to last year and there were also some teasers that you may have missed in between. If you tuned in live for LEGO Con, LEGO is during a survey and taking feedback about the show. You have until June 27 to fill it out.

Teasers

The not so obvious teaser was during the LEGO Harry Potter segment where LEGO Design Master Marcos Bessa talks to Evanna Lynch about some of the HP sets with the huge Hogwarts Express in the background. There’s been rumors of a large scale Hogwarts Express (76405) coming in the fall that has a reported 5,129 pieces and will retail for €499.99.

The more subtle teaser was during the LEGO Star Wars reveals when LEGO Designers Michael Lee Stockwell and Madison O’Neil both came out wearing shirts with the Razor Crest outline. It has also been rumored that there will be a UCS Razor Crest (75331) that will retail for around $529.99. This rumor is a little more iffy than the Hogwarts Express.

Lastly, we got a first look at potentially one of the next LEGO Minecraft minifigures. There is a fan vote that will be starting soon to choose between the Crystal Knight, Classic Knight, or Prismarine Knight. They said it will be on their Twitter page but we don’t see anything yet.

LEGO VIP Rewards Center Discount Changes Coming Soon

June 17, 2022 / / 0 Comments

A few years ago, the LEGO VIP Rewards Center allowed shoppers to redeem their points during checkout which can be used for both online and in stores. That was until the big overhaul of the Rewards Center where it split the redemption process and you had to choose between online and in store. This caused shoppers problems if they chose the wrong option.

Soon over the next few weeks, LEGO will be making an update that will again simplify how you redeem those points for discounts. Instead of them being separate, it will now be a single option for the discount and you can use it for both online and in stores or over the phone. You’ll only choose how many points and how big of a discount you want to use.

Currently the system is live in Hungary and will be rolling out to other regions with Australia, New Zealand, and Japan up next. Hopefully this change will lead to other changes like having multiple or larger denomination discounts.

LEGO Announces Price Increase Starting in August

June 2, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced that the prices on some LEGO sets will be increased in August and September due to increased costs of raw materials and operating costs. They have not said which sets will get the price bump but they did state that some prices on sets will not change and some will get a single digit increase while the larger ones will get a percentage increase. Obviously, this will affect shopping habits and many will pull back due to inflation in other parts of the economy as well.

Update on pricing

The current global economic challenges of increased raw material and operating costs are impacting many businesses.

Putting consumers first is at the heart of what we do as a company, and for some time, we have absorbed these costs to keep pricing stable. However, as these costs have continued to rapidly rise, we have taken the decision to increase the price on some of our sets. This increase will come into effect in August and September.

The increase will differ depending on the set and prices will change on around a quarter of the portfolio. On some sets we will not alter price, on others there will be a single digit increase and on larger, more complex sets the percentage increase will be higher.

We will continue to work to ensure our products offer great value and full recognise how important this is to our fans and everyone who love our products.

LEGO Technic Material Handler (42144) & Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145) Revealed

LEGO has published the Taiwanese 2HY Catalog here it shows two more LEGO Technic sets that are supposed to be coming soon, the Material Handler (42144) and Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145).

There haven’t been many larger scale Technic aircrafts that have been released in recent years so the helicopter should bode well for fans unless there’s another cancellation. We already know what happened with the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) a few years ago due to it being a military vehicle. There is a H175M that is used in the UK as a military derivative so we’ll see if it actually gets released or gets axed at the last minute again.

LEGO Explains White Building Instruction Covers

May 27, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel I am Groot (76217)

If you’ve read early reviews of the LEGO summer 2022 sets, you may have noticed that the cover of the building instructions are now printed in an unsightly white color scheme. LEGO has released a statement regarding it. The reason behind it is that they have been redesigned for a visually consistent unboxing experience.

The LEGO Group is on a journey to make its packaging more sustainable by 2025. As we are gradually replacing single-use plastic bags with paper-based bags in our boxes, other in-box materials such as the cover of Building Instructions have also been re-designed for a visually consistent unboxing experience.

LEGO Celebrates 90 Years of Play

May 26, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has officially started their 90th anniversary celebration with a slew activities for fans coming next month. Fan around the world can participate in quizzes, building activities at LEGO Stores, watch LEGO Con, and build a brand new 90th anniversary set that is still to be revealed. Read a little bit more about the history of LEGO these past 90 years below.

Brick by Brick – building LEGO® love for 90 years

This summer, the LEGO Group is celebrating the creativity of fans and the power of play as the new LEGO® Play Well Study shows play is fundamental to the wellbeing and happiness of the whole family.

Ninety years ago, a Danish carpenter crafted a line of small wooden toys in his Billund, Denmark, workshop. His first collection had a modest 36 items that included cars, airplanes, and yoyos, all carefully crafted to help local children learn about the world.

What Ole Kirk Kristiansen couldn’t have known back in 1932, was that the LEGO Group would become one of the biggest toy companies in the world and inspire millions of children to play each year.

Twenty-six years after Ole made his first wooden toy, his son Godtfred patented the LEGO® brick we know today, with its interlocking tube system offering endless creative building possibilities. Since then, the LEGO brick has been busy. From a few simple bricks in primary colours, the humble brick has formed the basis of over 18,000 LEGO products, received the Hollywood treatment in THE LEGO MOVIE™, helped children learn about robotics

LEGO Not Part of Star Wars Celebration Exhibitor Shopping Selection

May 16, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Last week we reported that LEGO will be having an exclusive set at Star Wars Celebration but it’s confusing on what has transpired since then. The Virtual Panel and Exhibitor Shopping lottery went up today and I noticed that LEGO wasn’t part of the list anymore.

A reader who is going gave us a snippet of their conversation with customer service and it was noted that LEGO is exhibiting but was not part of the lottery exclusives. The wording of the description has also removed LEGO from the list which went up last week.

If you saw last week, another reader was able to get into some lottery for the LEGO BrickHeadz Obi-Wan Kenobi & Darth Vader (40547) when everything badges went live so I’m not really sure what’s going on there. I’m not going to Star Wars Celebration but if you can still see the BrickHeadz lottery, let us know. Was the LEGO lottery different than today’s lottery? It supposedly ends on May 20 at 12am CDT.

LEGO Children’s Amusement Park (40529) Review

May 15, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

Along with the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) promotion, the LEGO Children’s Amusement Park (40529) is also available until May 30. You can get the 170 piece set for free with purchases of $90.

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

There are two minifigures with this set, the boy and girl. The boy wears a banana flannel shirt while the girl has on a red striped shirt.

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

There are a few amusement park attractions that are in the set. One is a duck/frog toss game, both of which are yellow.

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

The strength test has a very short height as the hammer itself is almost as tall as the game. It uses a functional mechanism that allows the gray piece to go up when you hit the target.

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

The main part of the build is the banana boat ride. The yellow swing pieces used for the boat are fairly rare as it was only used in Rapunzel’s Tower (43187) from 2020. There are some jungle sticker decorations for the two posts on the side and a banana sticker for the hood piece. There’s also a monkey holding a banana peeking out from the sign but it looks bad from the back.

Overall the LEGO Children’s Amusement Park (40529) is a fun little set and the price to get it is somewhat reasonable. The attractions do integrate with your Fairground Collection very well although they’re quite smaller than the current rides. Again, you can get it now until May 30 with purhases of $90.

What Other LEGO Transformers Sets Would We Like to See

May 13, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Now that we know that LEGO will be releasing the Transformers Optimus Prime (10302) it opens the possibility of Hasbro continuing the partnership with more characters. We can only speculate on what characters that we could see in LEGO form but there’s no guarantees if LEGO will make any more.

The obvious choice would be the nemesis of Optimus Prime which is Megatron. It’ll be hard for LEGO to make Megatron because his alternate form is a gun and even the G2 version is the tank, both of which LEGO will probably never make. If there is a Megatron, the most likely alternate form would be the Tyrannosaurus Rex from Beast Wars or a jet.

The next character that is possible for a LEGO Transformers set is Bumblebee. He is a proportioned Volkswagen Beetle and we know that LEGO likes making Volkswagen vehicles.

Starscream is also one of the more popular Transformers characters. His alternate form is a jet and from a playability factor, jets are cool especially with kids.

One of my favorite Transformers is Grimlock the leader of the Dinobots. He’s also a Tyrannosaurus Rex so that could conflict with Megatron if he was to come out as a dinosaur.

Other more secondary characters that would make good LEGO sets include Jetfire, Soundwave, Shockwave, Rodimus Prime (Hot Rod), an if a UCS style set would to come out, I nominate Unicron.

Again, this is only my speculation on what characters could be the next LEGO Transformers set if LEGO was to do additional ones … Continue

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531) is an unusual scene that LEGO used since it was only shown for a few seconds in the movie. The set is smaller than I expected, given the size of the box itself. Aunt Beru is exclusive to this set as this is the only minifigure made for the character so she’s pretty rare. Again, you’ll get this set for free when you make a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $160 or more until May 8.

LEGO Star Wars License Reportedly Extended Another 10 Years

April 16, 2022 / / 0 Comments

It has been reported that the LEGO Star Wars license has been extended for another ten years. According to The Holo-Brick Archives, the agreement was set to expire some time this year since the old license was also for ten years. Like with the previous one, there will be no change in terms of if we’ll be getting LEGO Star Wars Collectible Minifigures line as Hasbro still controls the figure market in that regard.

One interesting note is that sources have told The Holo-Brick Archives that the contract has been renegotiated to include all Disney intellectual properties. These IPs include Star Wars, Frozen, Buzz Lightyear, Marvel, and The Muppets, just to nae a few. If you didn’t see it yet, The Muppets will be getting a CMF line that should be coming out soon.

LEGO Announces Partnership with Epic Games to Build Multiverse

April 7, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has just announced a long-term partnership with Epic Games to provide a safe and fun place in the metaverse for kids and families. The two companies will team up to build an immersive, creatively inspiring and engaging digital experience for kids.

If you’ve done any gaming, you’ll know that Epic Games is the home of Fortnite and the developers of Unreal Engine which is used in a lot of other games. This partnership could signal some possibilities such as a new LEGO IP game or perhaps we could be seeing LEGO entering the world of Fortnite in terms of skins or even a LEGO version of Fortnite.

LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300) Sold Out

April 2, 2022 / / 0 Comments

In less than 24 hours, the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300) has completely sold out worldwide. If you didn’t get it when it dropped a little bit earlier than 9pm PT/12am ET a few nights ago, then you’re probably out of luck. There’s a very slim chance that a LEGO Brand Store might have it but you’ll have to use the Check Store Stock feature to find out. I saw on social media that there were long lines at the stores and some were waiting for at least an hour to get one.

As I expected, the set proved to be a very popular one as the nostalgia factor was way up there for the DeLorean and is possible that it is one of the fastest selling sets in recent history. Depending on how fast LEGO produces more, it may be a few months before it goes back in stock so I suggest using the in stock notification to get an email when it goes back online.

LEGO Galidor 20th Anniversary Theme Announced

LEGO has announced that they will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Galidor theme with a new line coming later this year. The short-lived theme was introduced in 2002 with a TV series as well as a small line of sets that went along with it.

This time, the theme will be the first line to be completely produced with the sustainable, plant-based bricks. Also included will be minifigure versions of the characters which is new since the original line didn’t have that.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Chicks (40527)

The first part of the build features two different colored chicks. Both birds are built in a similar style but with slight differences between them.

For the egg, it opens up in the middle to allow the chicks to stand inside. The instructions show you a way to decorate it but honestly, you can design it anyway you like since they give extra pieces for you to use.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Chicks (40527)

The LEGO Seasonal Easter Chicks (40527) is a fun little set that two people can build at once and the threshold to get it isn’t too bad. The promo will run from now until April 18 with a $65 purchase.

LEGO Easter 2022 Promotions Live on LEGO Shop

March 25, 2022 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Easter promotions are now live on the LEGO Shop and there are a few things you can pick up for free when you meet certain requirements. First is the LEGO Seasonal Easter Chicks (40527) with purchases of $65 or more in LEGO Stores and on the LEGO Shop. This will run from now until April 16, while supplies last.

The second is the LEGO Creator Easter Bunny (30583) that is only available at LEGO Stores with purchases of $40 or more. This will run in the same time period.

Lastly, we have the LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) which was a previous promo that LEGO seems to have a lot left over. From now until April 7, you can get it with purchases of any of the current Modular Building including the Assembly Square (10255), Bookshop (10270), Police Station (10278), and Boutique Hotel (10297).

In theory, you can probably get all three promos if you make a purchase in store but not everybody lives nearby one. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the in-store Creator polybag being sold at another retailer so I wouldn’t worry too much about that one.

No Character Customization in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

March 24, 2022 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga comes out in less than two weeks and TT Games has just put out a statement that may disappoint some fans. TT Games stated that there will not be any character customization in the game but instead you’ll have over 300 characters to choose from.

As we know, character customization was a staple in previous LEGO games as you can create a character with abilities to your liking and use them in game during free roam, however, that won’t be happening in The Skywalker Saga. It may not be a big deal for some but there are fans that love to make their own characters, especially ones that are missing from the game.

Although the game may seem to be a very polished looking game, the public relations in it is terrible. There was nothing but radio silence when it was first announced to a few months ago when it was getting promoted more. We get that there are development changes but if they announced it earlier, maybe people wouldn’t be too disappointed but to say it just only a few weeks away from release is just bad. Maybe we’ll see it in a future update but who knows.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Gameplay Demo Released

March 21, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Today, the full gameplay demo for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga dropped and we get to see what we can expect from the game when it drops in a few weeks. From the inital looks of it, it’s your typical LEGO game but ramped up ten fold. The visuals look outstanding as it runs on a brand new game engine.

Of course, you’ll still have the LEGO humor as well as puzzle to solve to proceed to the next area. The story will go through all nine films of the Skywalker Saga. The upgrade system is an interesting one as you can customize certain character classes with different abilities.

If you’re still looking to pre-order the Deluxe Edition of the game, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like any retailers are offering it anymore. I’ve heard that pre-orders for physical copies of the Deluxe version were stopped a few months back. Considering pre-orders for it were live back in October 2020, you’ve probably had more than enough time to get it if you wanted it already. The regular version of the game is still widely available but it won’t come with any of the extras like the Character Collection Bundle Packs or the Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk (30625) minifigure polybag.

LEGO Formula 1 Sets for the 2022 Season

Today is the first race of the 2022 F1 season in Bahrain and LEGO has recently released some new Formula 1 sets in various themes. First is the McLaren Formula 1 Race Car (42121) which has surprisingly been a hot set since its release at the beginning of the month with it being temporarily sold out. Fans of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo would definitely try to pick up this beast as it has been over 15 years since LEGO has released a licensed Technic F1 car.

The other set is the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance & Mercedes-AMG Project One (76909) which is not a bad set for only $29.99 as you get two cars. You would’ve think that LEGO had mispriced it but no. Given that price, it also not a shock that it has also sold out on the LEGO Shop. The W12 is driven by Lewis Hamilton and George Russell this season.

LEGO 90th Anniversary Castle Set Teased?

March 18, 2022 / / 0 Comments

During yesterday’s reveal of the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300), there was a short animated video showing Doc and Marty going to different time periods. Their first stop may have also included a teaser for the upcoming LEGO 90th Anniversary Castle set.

The main part shows Marty standing in front of the castle looking for a piece required to go home. Just looking from the size of it compared to the minifigure, it’s huge. Shortly after, you can see some knights chasing Marty and you can clearly see two of them with the Lion Knights insignia on the torso.

There have been various reports that the set would be called the Lion King’s Castle (10305) and it would pay homage to the original King’s Castle (6080). The price of it would be about €349.99 and if the set is the one shown in the short, the price may be justified. We all know that LEGO likes to throw teasers in other sets and this was perhaps a great way to give us a taste of what’s to come.

Earlier today, Marvel released the official trailer for Ms. Marvel and we have a good look at the newest super hero to enter Phase 4. The Disney+ show will be airing on June 8 and it talks about her life in high school life and the cosmic powers that she gets.

There have been two Ms. Marvel LEGO minifigures that have been released so far. The original on is in the retired Captain America Jet Pursuit (76076) and the other one is in the Spider-Man Webquarters Hangout (10784) which was released a few months ago.

The get you even more excited for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Warner Bros. Games has released a behind-the-scenes look at the game. There are various devs that talk about the process of bringing the Star Wars galaxy into the game which spans all nine movies from the Skywalker Saga.

March 10, 2022 / / 0 Comments

There are new rumors going around online that the upcoming LEGO 90th Anniversary set will be based on LEGO Castle. If you remember from last year, LEGO did a fan vote in which fan would choose which theme will become the anniversary set and the final round came down to Bionicle, Classic Space, Pirates, and Castle. LEGO messed up by splitting up the various Castle themes but they all aggregated to be in the top four.

According to Promobricks, the 90th Anniversary set would loosely be called the Lion King’s Castle (10305). It is said that it could pay homage to the old King’s Castle (6080) which released back in 1984.

Should There be Changes to LEGO Ideas? (Revisited)

March 5, 2022 / / 0 Comments

In the past few years, there have been a ton of projects that have hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas with only a select few actually becoming official LEGO sets. This begs the question, should there be changes made to the platform sooner than later? I’ve done a piece like this a while back and I would like to revisit the topic.

LEGO Ideas began in 2014 after it changed from LEGO CUUSOO and the requirement for review ever since the beginning was that a project had to hit 10,000 supporters in a certain amount of time. Before they had two years to do so but Ideas changed to give tie extensions. Back then it seemed a lot harder to reach the goal but in recent years, 10,000 seems to be trivial now.

Since the First 2020 Review Stage, there have been 213 projects that reached 10,000 supporters with only 8 sets actually being realized. The most recent ones are the A-Frame Cabin and BTS’s Dynamite which were announced last week. Also out of the 213 projects, 31 of them went on to the BrickLink Designer Program where only 15 of those will be made.

LEGO already knows that there are a lot of projects hitting the goal and they’ve already stated that we shouldn’t be expecting any changes to LEGO Ideas anytime soon. I’ve already seen all the comments from raising the threshold to approving more sets. As a business decision, that isn’t hard to do as there are lots of moving parts for one … Continue

The LEGO Foundation, Ole Kirk’s Fond and the LEGO Group have announced an emergency donation of DKK 110 million (approx.
