LEGO London Postcard (40569) Delayed Until January 2023 for North America

For some unknown reason, the LEGO London Postcard (40569) has been postponed in North America until January 1, 2023. Note that all of the other new postcard sets are already available with Paris being sold out temporarily and London has also been released in other parts of the world. It’s nothing too earth shattering but it’s just weird that only one of them would get delayed until next year since it was supposed to be released back in July.

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

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

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”

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.

LEGO VIP Points Now Live at Target

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

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

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.

LEGO Files “LEGO Dreamzzz” Trademark

LEGO has recently put in another trademark registration for something called LEGO Dreamzzz. It was filed just last week on July 18 and it looks to be for an online fan club service that is a website featuring interactive games, activities, stories, etc. The listing doesn’t mention anything about toys like with the Brick to the Future trademark. I’m guessing whatever LEGO Dreamzzz will be in the Play Zone like all the other interactive games are. As of July 21, the status of the application is live and is waiting to be assigned to an examining attorney which will be in about six months.

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

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) Review

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.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577)

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 Panel Recap

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.

Yesterday and today, Marvel at San Diego Comic Con 2022 has revealed their plans on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as some animated shows for Disney+. This means that we could be seeing a lot of LEGO Marvel sets that are tied into these properties in the next few years and lots more new LEGO minifigures of various characters.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will be closing out Phase Four this November and we already know there will be some LEGO sets based on soe scenes from the movie.

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. The new series will have most of the original characters like Rogue, Beast, Gambit, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Storm, Jubilee, and Cyclops but are now lead by Magneto. 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

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

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

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. The only promotion left is the LEGO Harry Potter Build Your Own Hogwarts Castle (30435) polybag with HP purchases of $40.

LEGO Files “Brick to the Future” Trademark

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 Shuts Down 81 Russia Stores

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.

A LEGO spokesperson stated “LEGO Group has decided to indefinitely cease commercial operations in Russia given the continued extensive disruption in the operating environment.”

Back in March, LEGO stopped shipments to Russia as a repercussion of the sanctions imposed on the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

LEGO has released a statement about the situation as well from the LAN.

The LEGO Group paused shipments to Russia in March. Given the continued extensive disruption in the operating environment, we have decided to indefinitely cease commercial operations in Russia. This includes ending employment for most of our Moscow-based team and our partnership with Inventive Retail Group who owned and operated 81 stores on the brand’s behalf.

LEGO Not Part of San Diego Comic Con 2022 Exclusives Portal

It looks like the Exclusives Portal for San Diego Comic Con is finalized which means that LEGO will not be part of it. Comic Con International has been emailing people telling them that no more items are expected to be added to the list. If you don’t know what this is, you allocate points given to you to enter lotteries to have a chance to get a certain company’s exclusive items. However, it doesn’t mean that LEGO won’t have exclusives as they can still do their own thing either at their booth (#2829) or in the Sails Pavilion. 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

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

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.

Last Day for LEGO Double VIP Points Event – June 2022

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. What’s nice about this time is that it also works on pre-orders including items revealed during LEGO Con 2022 like the LEGO Icons Galaxy Explorer (10497) and LEGO Avatar Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls (75574). 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. Unfortunately, I do not know which sets will get the price bump but there are lists floating around online that you can reference however I can’t confirm that they will get it.

Protecting the LEGO Minifigure Trademark

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

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

LEGO Con 2022 Recap

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

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

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 Celebrates 90 Years of Play

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 Masters Season 3 Delayed – Celebrity Spinoff Announced

It has been recently announced that LEGO Masters will not be airing on the original May 31 premiere date. Instead of a summer release, it will be pushed back to the fall with no exact date at this time. Even the teaser trailers which promotes Jurassic World Dominion has been removed which obviously will be late since the movie comes out in June.

LEGO Ninjago Crystalized Episodes Available on YouTube

I guess to deal with leaked episodes of the LEGO Ninjago Crystalized, LEGO has decided to post the first 12 episodes on their YouTube channel. Unfortunately, it looks like it episodes are only available in the US so you’ll need a VPN if you’re in other countries.


Episode 1 – Farewell the Sea

A year after Nya saved NINJAGO City and became one with the sea, each Ninja is dealing with the change in his own way. When Gayle Gossip reports that super villain Miss Demeanor is buying large amounts of Vengestone, Cole realizes that this is the perfect time to bring the team together and stop the villain’s evil plan.

Will Cole be able to convince the other Ninja in time to save NINJAGO City from Miss Demeanor?


Episode 2 – The Call of Home

Nya, who is now a water dragon, begins to uncover her true identity after she rescues a drowning man. With the help of another water elemental, Nyad, Nya searches for her lost memories.

Can Nya regain her memories and reunite with her friends?


Episode 3 – The Shape of Nya

Jay and the other Ninja are still saddened by their lost friend and track down Miss Demeanor’s next shipment of Vengestone. After their battle with Miss Demeanor is interrupted by the New Ninja, Nya warns the team that she can only return if she gives up her powers!

Can Jay and the others work with the New Ninja to stop Miss Demeanor’s plan? Will they find a way to … Continue

LEGO Avatar: The Way of Water Reveals Coming to LEGO Con 2022

We already know that there will be a LEGO Avatar: The Way of Water theme coming and we may be seeing the sets very soon. A few days ago, LEGO announced that LEGO Con 2022 will be on June 18 and shortly after, the official Avatar Twitter account quote retweeted with the eyes emoji and #LEGOCON. This most likely means that we’ll be seeing the sets shown off during the event. We’re less than a month away from the event so there’s still more time for plenty of teasers for what they have in store.

BrickLink Designer Program Round 3 Set Pre-Orders Sold Out

As you can see from the image, all five sets for Round 3 of the BrickLink Designer Program have sold out completely in just over 12 hours. This is the fastest out of the three rounds that the sets have sold out and considering that this was also the most expensive round makes it even more impressive. Unless they decide to make more, that is the end of it and no more pre-orders will go up. The sets will be shipping in spring 2023 and I expect the secondary market prices for them to skyrocket when they are released. Were you able to get what you wanted?

LEGO® IDEAS THE STARRY NIGHT SET – PRESS RELEASE

REIMAGINE VINCENT VAN GOGH’S ICONIC PAINTING WITH THE NEW LEGO IDEAS STARRY NIGHT SET

17th May, 2022: In tribute to Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting, the LEGO Group has revealed the LEGO® Ideas The Starry Night set. This beautiful set was designed by Truman Cheng, a 25-year old Hong Kong based LEGO fan, through a submission on the LEGO Ideas platform, and has been created in conjunction with The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The three-dimensional set reimagines Vincent van Gogh’s renowned 1889 painting in LEGO form, with strong emphasis on the artist’s striking brush strokes and colour choice. Inspired by the view from his window at the Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France, where the artist spent twelve months, The Starry Night is one of the world’s most well-known post-impressionist works and has been a visitor favourite at MoMA since it first arrived in 1935.

LEGO Not Part of Star Wars Celebration Exhibitor Shopping Selection

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 Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) Review

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

The promotion for the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) is now live on the LEGO Shop and here’s a quick review of the set. It has 203 pieces and you can get it with purchases of $160 or more until May 30, while supplies last.

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

The minifigure is a kid with a Galaxy Explorer shirt. He does have a double-sided head with a large smile on one side and a nervous expression on the other. He does wear a brown helmet.

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

There are two parts to the build. The first is a teddy bear mech that uses red and blue roller skates. The arms are carrying a ray gun and a whisk with some umbrellas in the back of the mech.

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

The main build is a section of the bedroom which has the cardboard rocket. The rocket actually looks really nice but it does have some stickers to give it more detailing. The side flaps uses a new piece that looks like a flap from a box. There are two seats in the rocket, one for the kid and one for the cat.

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

On the floor next to it, there are some additional accessories like a scissor, some green paint, some green army men, and a flag at the corner showing the Space Command Center (493).

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533)

Overall, the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) is a very nice promo set but the threshold to get it is a little high. Again, you can get it from now until May 30 with a $160 purchase.

LEGO Children’s Amusement Park (40529) Review

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.

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

LEGO Children's Amusement Park (40529)

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

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

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531) Review

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

The LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions are now live on the LEGO Shop and the main promotion for 2022 is for the Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531). The set has 195 pieces and you can get it with LEGO Star Wars purchases of $160 or more until May 8 or while supplies last.

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

The set includes a minifigure of Beru Lars who wears a brown shirt with a blue jacket. She does have a double-sided head that shows smiles on both sides.

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

The build features the Lars kitchen which was only shown for a short time in A New Hope but has been recreated in this set. The back wall is filled with cabinets with transparent blue doors. Inside the cabinets have a bunch of random stuff.

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

The countertop is also filled with items such as a replica of the Landspeeder, a bottle, teapot, and blue milk. There’s also some jars recessed underneath the countertop, one of which has some kind of plant.

LEGO Star Wars Lars Family Homestead Kitchen (40531)

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

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.

It’s not really a huge surprise to see the LEGO Star Wars license extended as it usually is one of the top themes every year. Even though the Skywalker Saga has ended, there’s an endless amount of things that LEGO can still produce with the amount of upcoming Star Wars project down the pipeline.

LEGO Build a Minifigure Online Beta Launches for Europe and Asia

If you’re in Europe or in the Asia Pacific regions, you are the first ones to be able to do a beta test of the new online LEGO Build a Minifigure feature on the LEGO Shop. You can either pick and choose the parts for your three minifigures or you can completely randomize it. The part selection is still fairly limited and hopefully more will be added in the future. The minimum you get is three for the price of £5.97 and £1.99 will be added for additional minifigures.

As stated before, this is just a beta and the LEGO Pick a Brick team will be gathering insight and feedback over the next few weeks. Hopefully it works well enough to expand the feature to other regions later on.
