LEGO Games Logo Update and Rumored Overwatch Set Coming Soon

September 20, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has updated the logo for their LEGO Games subtheme and there are rumors that Overwatch may be part of this gaming umbrella. It is reported that LEGO Games will become it’s own theme and will include everything that is related to gaming from various video games to the Bits N’ Bricks podcasts. LEGO could just put various game related sets under the general LEGO Games theme without actually having a dedicated theme for them which is a smart move.

On to the Overwatch rumors, it has been reported that there could be a LEGO Overwatch set 76980 coming in November featuring the Null Sector Titan. If you follow Overwatch lore, the Titan was part of the Omnic Crisis at the Paris attack. The set is rumored to have 901 pieces and priced at 79.99€. We’ve been waiting for more sets from Overwatch but the game has died down a lot since the last wave of sets but hopefully Overwatch 2 can reinvigorate the line in 2022.

LEGO Rebuild the World Celebrates Problem Solving

September 20, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has launched a new iteration to their Rebuild the World campaign which celebrates problem solving. In a newly released film, it shows a Knight trying to cross a bridge but fails to until the town comes together to figure out a way across. Be sure to keep a close eye around the 0:42 mark where you can spot an Easter egg that fans really want in LEGO form.

New LEGO® campaign shows how creative problem solving can reunite and Rebuild the World

Billund, September 20th, 2021 – The LEGO Group has launched a playful new iteration to its global Rebuild the World brand campaign. Now in its third year, the 2021 Rebuild the World campaign celebrates children as the masters of creative problem solving and shows what can be achieved when people work together to overcome differences or challenges.

The main film is centered on the story of a Knight whose attempts to cross a river to see a friendly bear keep failing. Seeing the Knight’s dilemma, a whole town comes together and pools their varied skills, perspectives and talents to find a way to reunite the friends. As the Knight finally conquers the river crossing, the film playfully reveals how the story and the solution to the challenge have been imaginatively conceived by a group of children building, unbuilding and rebuilding through LEGO® play.

The LEGO System in Play has long been the ultimate platform for creative problem solving. Just as the children in this campaign come together to build and test different solutions,

LEGO Marvel Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Movie to Set Comparison

September 19, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It’s been a while but I’m back with my next installment of movie to LEGO set comparisons and this time it is for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. It already has been a few weeks since the movie came out so if you still haven’t seen it yet, there will be some spoilers. I will not be including the Shang-Chi and The Great Protector (30454) polybag as it is just a promo set.

Escape from The Ten Rings (76176)

This set is based towards the middle of the movie where Shang-Chi, Katy, and Xialing have been captured by Wenwu and locked in the dungeons and find Trevor Slattery along with Morris. They eventually escape and get to the parking lot and steal Razor Fist’s custom BMW. The set features a yellow car while in the movie, it has more of a blue/purple color. Although the movie does have a motorcycle chase, it did not have Wenwu or Razor Fist giving chase. Lastly, there were no turrets shown either. Shang-Chi and Katy also didn’t get their dragon scale armor until the climax of the movie.

I feel that LEGO was just trying to fit a majority of the main characters into a set and it worked to an extent. I wish Shang-Chi and Katy still had their casual outfits while Wenwu had his white shirt. Obviously, Trevor couldn’t be a minifigure because he was a surprise in the movie and didn’t want to spoil that. Xialing had to be split off for the … Continue

LEGO Japan Teases Bricktober 2021 Sets

September 17, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Japan has released a teaser for what could be the upcoming LEGO Bricktober 2021 sets. The video shows a brick-built book with the caption “once upon a time, somewhere.” As we know by now, the Bricktober promotions have mainly been centered in the Asian markets in the month of October. North America used to have them at Toys R Us but there’s been nothing here ever since the toy store chain shut down a few years ago in the US. LEGO Stores and the LEGO Shop usually don’t have anything going on for Bricktober which is a shame since there’s no alternative to getting them besides the secondary market or if you have connections.

LEGO Monkie Kid Continuing Through 2023

September 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton did a Q&A on Instagram and he listed off some themes he has been put in charge of for 2023 and some of them may surprise you. As VP of Design, he has his hands full for quite a few product lines for 2023 which include City, Friends, Creator, Classic, Technic, Speed Champions, Monkie Kid, Ninjago, Collectible Minifigures, and DOTS.

What’s most interesting is that Monkie Kid will continue releasing products for the next few years. Although Monkie Kid is a very unique theme that caters mostly to the Asian market, I’m not really sure if it’s that popular in the west. They’ve recently announced that the show will finally be available in the US through Amazon Kids+ but it seems quite late since a lot of people have been waiting over a year to watch it and the hype for the theme has substantially cooled down. Original IPs tend to do well with LEGO and they usually run for about two years but if Monkie Kid extends to 2023, that’ll be four years which makes it one of the longer running ones and that isn’t a bad thing.

What’s interesting is that the NBA is now also somewhat involved and we haven’t seen any LEGO NBA products since 2003. It’s a long shot but I hope we will see some NBA licensed products even though they can only feature athletes that have signed with adidas.

LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales Official Trailer

September 7, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Star Wars has released the official trailer for the upcoming Disney+ LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales. The show was announced last month and it takes place after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at Darth Vader’s Castle where his servant Vaneé tells three stories that are linked to ancient artifacts and iconic villains in the Star Wars Universe. The show will air on Disney+ starting on October 1.

After the events of “The Rise of Skywalker,” Poe and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt who has purchased Darth Vader’s castle and is renovating it into the galaxy’s first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel. While waiting for his X-wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa’s mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader’s loyal servant, Vaneé. Along the way, Vaneé shares three creepy stories linked to ancient artifacts and iconic villains from across all eras of Star Wars. As Vaneé spins his tales and lures our heroes deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the castle, a sinister plan emerges. With the help of Dean, Poe and BB-8 will have to face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.

August 30, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, the LEGO September 2021 Store Calendar came out but we were met with a disappointment as it didn’t actually show any promotions for the month except for the in-store one. Earlier today, the LEGO Affiliate Team sent over details for what is going on next month and it looks like there will be more promos for September but it’ll be old ones. From the looks of it, LEGO still has plenty of the August promos left over as pretty much all the main ones have also been pushed to September. The Swing Ship Ride was from June and it’ll also be back.

• LEGO® VIPs will receive a free Swing Ship Ride GWP with any purchase of $85 or more while supplies last from 9/6 – 9/12.

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons Collectors’ Edition (76391) was slated to be released on September 2, but LEGO has announced that the set will be delayed in North America.

Earlier this month, LEGO launched the promotion for the LEGO Marvel Shang-Chi and The Great Protector (30454) polybag and in less than a day, the promo ran out of stock on the LEGO Shop. I finally got my order in the mail and here’s a quick look at the polybag.

The Shang-Chi minifigure is same one as in the other two sets in the wave which includes the Escape from The Ten Rings (76176) and Battle at the Ancient Village (76177). He wears a red outfit with black accents on both sides of the torso while the legs are plain black. Some arm printing would’ve been nice but it’s pretty accurate to the on-screen version. He has a pearl-gold staff as an accessory. Surprisingly, he doesn’t have any rings included.

He does have a double-sided head but it’s the usual expressions we’ve seen before with the stern and angry expressions. Also the flesh tone is different from previous minifigures that featured Asian actors. Previously, LEGO used nougat colored parts for Asian characters. LEGO has released a statement about this:

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us on this matter. Representation in toys is very important and we know the big impact that play has on children. Children are our heroes and we want them to feel both represented and empowered. We are actively looking at ways where we can better represent everyone in our minifigure designs.

In working on representation we are not alone, we work closely with our IP partners to find the

LEGO Build & Talk Adventures Focuses on Online Safety and Privacy

August 22, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has launched a new story-style adventure to help families talk about online safety and privacy. Their Build & Talk series helps parents give conversation with kids about online topics and this latest one focuses on online privacy and safe sharing.

The LEGO Group launches new story-style adventure to help families talk about online safety and privacy.

The LEGO Group has expanded its range of tools designed to help families have conversations about digital safety, privacy and wellbeing, after new research found only 1 in 6 parents said their child had confided in them when something bad happened online (1).

The LEGO Group’s ‘Build & Talk’ series helps parents and caregivers have meaningful conversations around challenging yet important online topics with children, aged seven to 11, in a language all children can understand, play. The latest activity pack focuses on two of the biggest concerns for parents when it comes to keeping their children safe online: privacy and safe sharing (2).

In the new story-style adventure, digital explorer and ‘creaturologist’ Ida Switchditonandoff, takes families on a journey through the online world in search of an imaginary LEGO® creature who loves to share. As parents read out the story, children are inspired to have fun building their own ‘Oversharer’ with LEGO bricks. Parents can then use a number of simple talking points to start a conversation with their child about topics such as what makes a good password and how to keep personal data secure.

Kathrine Kirk Muff, VP of Social Responsibility at the LEGO Group, said:

LEGO Ideas/Chronicle Books Puzzle Fan Vote Extended Due to Plagiarism

August 21, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO Ideas announced that they have extended the deadline for the fan vote on Chronicle Books puzzle competition. This is due to one of the submissions being disqualified due to plagiarism which was The Deer in the Nature category by Les Briques de Loïc. It was ruled that the creation was not entirely the creator’s own work. Fans have tracked down the original work by Grantmasters and although there are differences to them, you can also see the similarities between the two.

The fan vote has been extended to Tuesday, August 24 at 11am CET and people who voted for The Deer will get another vote for the remaining 39 projects. The winners of the competition will be announced no later than September 8.

LEGO Ideas Home Alone McCallister’s House (21330) Updated Rumors

August 18, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Last month, we reported on some rumors about the upcoming LEGO Ideas Home Alone McCallister’s House and it looks like there are some updates to them. From a recent post by brick_clicker on Instagram, it looks like the details reported before were for the Black Stratocast (21329) which included a September release for VIPs at $100 price point.

The Home Alone house is now reported to have a 21330 set number with a November release. The price of it is now at $250 which is now on point with what we should expect in terms of detailing for the house and not just a facade if it was at $100. It also will have a November release date which is also fair due to the movie being a Christmas movie. Lastly, it is said that it will have five minifigures. We can for sure count in Kevin and the two Wet Bandits, Marv and Harry, but who do you think are the last two? If you were worried about the set being small, what do you think about it now?

LEGO Disney Train and Station (71044) Retiring Soon

If you’ve been holding off on the LEGO Disney Train and Station (71044), you may want to pick it up soon.

BrickLink Designer Program Round 1 Sold Out?

August 12, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It’s been a week since the first round restart of the BrickLink Designer Program and it looks like all five project have sold out or did it? The site says that they have all sold out but there was still a lot of pre-orders open for the Sheriff’s Safe, Kakapo, and Pursuit of Flight as of yesterday. I’m pretty sure that this is just a programming error on their part because you are still able to add them to the LEGO Shop cart if you have the direct links. Lucky for you, we have them readily available and you can continue to purchase them.

Sheriff’s Safe (910016) – $49.99
Kakapo (910017) – $79.99
Pursuit of Flight (910028) – $54.99

In addition, Round 2 crowdfunding is listed as August 15 but we already know that it was pushed to September because of the extended rounds. Round 3 looks to be at the correct pace for a November 1 crowdfunding according to the new structure image in the link post.

LEGO Super Mario Coins Found in LEGO Stores

August 10, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The past few days, social media has been lit up with some new LEGO Super Mario coins that people have been getting at LEGO Stores. The coins feature Mario in either a gold or silver finish. The distribution of it is unknown as various stores around the world have done different things to give them away. I’ve been asked many times about it and I honestly don’t know what the correct answer is except asking your store about it.

There’s been an aggregation of various ways people have gotten their coins on the LAN which consists of the following.

North America

• A store in Canada gave them out with any purchase made.
• A New Jersey store had children interact with a themed scanner device. The device would display a result of “gold” or “silver” coin, and the child would receive that coin. A small scavenger hunt had to be attempted beforehand.
• An Ohio store has the scanner, but no scavenger hunt.
• A different Ohio store has the scavenger hunt, but no scanner.
* A store in Utah gave them out only to people who purchased Adventures with Luigi Starter Course.
• A store in Canada gave them out with any purchase made.

UK

• In England, distribution began August 4th at Leicester Square and Southampton stores. No known requirements.
• The Edinburgh store gave them away to people who took photos of 5 Mario figures hidden around the store.

As you can see, there are numerous ways the coins could be obtained … Continue

LEGO Celebrates 89th Birthday

Today, LEGO celebrates its 89th birthday. On this day way back in 1932, Ole Kirk Christiansen began making his iconic wooden toys. It wasn’t until 1958 when the first brick was patented by his son and the rest is history. If you haven’t seen The LEGO Story below, it’s a great animated video showing LEGO’s history.

I don’t think there’s anything special planned for today but we can surely expect something big for next year when LEGO celebrates nine decades of play. One thing is the 90th anniversary fan vote in which LEGO will be choosing a classic theme to make a set for.

LEGO VIDIYO BeatBox Sales at Walmart

August 4, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It looks like the LEGO VIDIYO sales have started to hit Walmart in stores as the BeatBox sets have been heavily discounted. People have been able to find them for only $5 which is 75% off the regular retail price of $19.99. This comes off the heels of the recent news that the theme will be on hiatus in 2022 to be restructured into a new play experience in 2023. Your mileage may vary as not all stores will have the sale but it’s worth a try. Other countries have already discounted the sets and this is probably the first time I’ve seen it with a big discount in the US.

The show will take place after Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at Darth Vader’s Castle where his servant Vaneé tells three stories of ancient artifacts and iconic villains from the Star Wars Universe. The show will air starting on October 1 exclusively on Disney+.

After the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Poe Dameron and BB-8 must make an emergency landing on the volcanic planet Mustafar where they meet the greedy and conniving Graballa the Hutt. The crime boss has purchased Darth Vader’s castle and is renovating it into the galaxy’s first all-inclusive Sith-inspired luxury hotel. While waiting for his X-Wing to be repaired, Poe, BB-8, Graballa, and Dean (a plucky and courageous young boy who works as Graballa’s mechanic) venture deep into the mysterious castle with Vader’s loyal servant, Vaneé. Along the way, Vaneé shares three creepy stories linked to ancient artifacts and iconic villains from across all eras of Star Wars. As Vaneé spins his tales and lures our heroes deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the castle, a sinister plan emerges. With the help of Dean, Poe and BB-8 will have to face their fears, stop an ancient evil from rising, and escape to make it back to their friends.

Reminder BrickLink Designer Program Crowdfunding Restarts August 3 at 12pm PST

July 31, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you have forgotten, here’s a reminder that the continuation of the first round of crowdfunding for the BrickLink Designer Program will be starting up again on August 3. There will be four sets that will be made available again which include Great Fishing Boat, Pursuit of Flight, Sheriff’s Safe, and Kakapo. The reason for this is that the Castle in the Forest somehow had 10,000 orders go through and to make it fair, BrickLink is allowing the other projects to do so as well. This also means that the Castle will not be taking any more pre-orders since it already hit 10,000. BIONICLE Legends and Particle Accelerator have already been eliminated so they won’t be up for pre-orders as well. Crowdfunding will start again at 3pm EST/12pm PST so get you fingers ready.

LEGO Looking to Grow in Hiring Push

July 27, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you’ve ever wanted to work at LEGO, I’ve been told that they are making a huge hiring push for the LEGO Brand Stores as well as at various headquarter locations here in the US. I suppose they are starting to gear up for seasonal positions as things start to ramp up for the holiday season.

If you’ve ever worked retail before, there is a chance for you to be put on as a regular member of the staff and possibly even be promoted to other positions. I’ve known people who have started at retail and ended up working at Enfield which allowed them to travel the world to various LEGO events. I’ve tried to apply years ago but it didn’t work out since it was sort of a conflict of interest with what I got going on here.

If you’re a LEGO Marvel collector, you know that there haven’t been many X-Men related sets that have been released so far with the last one being the Mighty Micros: Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073) in 2017. With the Disney acquisition of Fox back in 2019, this meant that Marvel now owns the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four which could mean that LEGO can finally produce more products from those franchises.

If LEGO has have the ability to make X-Men products again, what do you want to see being released? Personally, I’m hoping for a UCS-style Sentinel.

LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) Promo Set Revealed

July 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Earlier today, the August 2021 LEGO Store Calendar was published and in it we can also see the upcoming LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) promotional set. It was announced as the winner of the Build that Holiday building contest a year ago and we finally get to see what it looks like.

The build pretty much maintains the original look from yc_solo down to the dolphins jumping out of the water. The promotion will run from August 1-3 for VIPs and August 4-29 for the general public, while supplies last, and it will require a $200 purchase. I believe this is one of the largest, if not the largest purchase requirement, I’ve seen for a promo item in many years and will most likely carry a hefty aftermarket price.

LEGO Harry Potter Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy Book Set – Pre-Order on Amazon

July 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO Harry Potter book set coming out in a few months called Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy. The book set includes two paperback activity books, a double-sided pop-up featuring different parts of Hogwarts, and minifigures of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. The activity books are called Magical Rivals and Gryffindor vs Slytherin which I believe are both new. The minifigures aren’t exclusive but this is another way to get them in their school outfits. The most interesting thing for me is the pop-up insert which has an unique art form that I like although you can’t really put anything on the pop-out sections. LEGO Harry Potter Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy will be released on September 7 for $14.99 and you can pre-order it today on Amazon.

LEGO Comic Creator Returns for SDCC at Home 2021

With Comic Con at Home 2021 coming to a close soon and if you haven’t done it yet, LEGO still has their LEGO Comic Creator available for the first 10,000 participants. It is the same as last year where you can create your own LEGO minifigure and choose a universe between Star Wars, Spider-Man, or Batman to build a story around. This is the same as last year’s activity when Comic Con was shut down as well. There is a limit of three comics per house hold so you can pretty much get all three stories unless you have more than one child.

LEGO Adults Welcome Catalog Hitting Mailboxes

LEGO Adults Welcome Catalog

If you get LEGO catalogs in the mail, you may or may not have received a new Adults Welcome catalog which has been the talk on various forums in recent days. The pages have a more higher quality feel to it and the covers have a matte feeling to them. The catalog basically shows some of the sets that are listed as 18+ with some product details. LEGO has given some insight on it:

It was a test mailed only to select individuals in the US. It was super-targeted, although I don’t know their criteria for selection. Most households were reported to never have made a LEGO purchase before.

Nobody knows what the criteria is to get one but if you did get one, congrats because it looks like there weren’t that many that went out. It’s cool to see that LEGO is branching out to AFOLs using physical media since most mainly rely on information digitally nowadays.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Penguin (40498) Teaser

July 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we got a first look at some of the new 2021 LEGO Seasonal Halloween sets and on the back of one of the sets, we also can see a future Christmas set as well. On the back of the Halloween Owl (40497), we can also see the Christmas Penguin (40498) which includes a penguin with a small Christmas on top of a snowy base. We can probably guess the price point is $14.99 which is the same as the other sets for 2021 but the piece count is still unknown.

LEGO Releases Statement Regarding LEGO VIDIYO Cancellation Rumors

July 23, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Earlier, there were reports that the new LEGO VIDIYO theme was potentially being cancelled and fan media picked up on it and as a result, LEGO has released a statement about the theme and what we can expect in the future.

It seems like corporate speak but they have been taking feedback from the community regarding the sets and the app and will be piloting some new ideas in 2022 and releasing new play experiences in 2023.

We wanted to provide you with an update regarding LEGO VIDIYO.

As you know, we launched LEGO VIDIYO in January to connect with children in a completely new way, blending music, digital play and LEGO building in a fun and unique way. The product tested extremely well during development and has received really positive feedback from those children and families who have played with it.

We’ve seen a positive response to the launch, but we’ve also received feedback from people that we could make the play experience across the app, BeatBits, music and minifigures even simpler. So, we’re taking that onboard and together with Universal Music Group are going to pilot some new ideas in 2022, then release new play experiences in 2023 and beyond.

LEGO VIDIYO is very much still available, the current products will continue to be sold in stores and marketed globally, and we’re continuing to support this fantastic play experience, including new updates and fun challenges to the app to inspire children’s creative music video making.

Thank you for your continued support of the LEGO

LEGO VIDIYO Theme Rumored to be Cancelled

July 23, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s some big news coming out of Promobricks regarding the new LEGO VIDIYO theme and it potentially being already cancelled. They are reporting that the third wave is no longer being shipped to retailers and orders for them are being cancelled.

It’s not really a big surprise but there have been reports of the sets being heavily discounted around the world, even after the first wave which suggest the sets weren’t selling well.

There were some cool sets in the second wave and the minifigures were pretty unique but the apprehension of using the app is one of the deal breakers for people to buy the sets. Of course, these are just rumors until it is actually confirmed.

Update: LEGO has released a statement about the future of the theme.

LEGO Ideas Home Alone McCallister’s House (21329) Rumored Details

July 23, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new rumor about the next LEGO Ideas set to be released and it is said to be the Home Alone McCallister’s House (21329). Coming from brick_clicker on Instagram, it is said the set will have a late September release with a $100 price point. The original project proposed the maximum of 3,000 pieces and it included a full house but if the price point is true, there was some compromise to keep the price reasonable. It may just end up being a facade of the house with the back open to show the details inside similar to 123 Sesame Street (21324). Again these are only rumors until LEGO officially announces it, whenever that is.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

LEGO will be releasing a new LEGO Seasonal set soon with the Halloween Owl (40497). As of this writing, there’s no information yet on the pricing and piece count for it but going by the previous Seasonal sets for 2021, it may be priced at $14.99. If you look closely at the back of the box, it also shows the Christmas Penguin (40498).

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

Like with the previous sets, it comes with a buildable base which has an Easter egg inside. For the owl, there’s a little bat built in.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

At the floor level, there’s a little pumpkin patch with some pretty plump pumpkins made with some modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 with studs on the sides. The 1×2 slopes give the shape of the pumpkins.

The owl is built similiarly to the BrickHeadz using some modified 1 x 2 x 1 2/3 bricks so that the outside can have some details. The front of it looks pretty bland with the tan on the chest.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

The back has a bit more detail with the claw piece being used as fur on the tail.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

The wings are on ball joints so you can show it flapping its wings if you like.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497)

The head has the most details and it shows it with an “angry” face. This is achieved by using some claw toe pieces for the eyebrows and some slopes at the top of the head.

LEGO Seasonal LEGO Seasonal Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

LEGO has revealed a new Seasonal Halloween ornament set with the Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493). The set has 132 pieces but we don’t have details of the price or release date as of this writing.

LEGO Seasonal LEGO Seasonal Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

LEGO Seasonal LEGO Seasonal Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

The spider has a BrickHeadz feel to it with the style it uses to create it. The eyes are huge compared to the body and it gives off a cartoony look. The legs are on hinges so they have some movement to them. There’s a Technic connector at the top to tie the included string on.

LEGO Seasonal LEGO Seasonal Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

The other build is the haunted house which looks to be inspired by the LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House (10228). It has the sand green color scheme but it also has lots of stickers for the window detailing around the house. Like with the spider, it also has a Technic connnector to tie the string on.

LEGO Seasonal LEGO Seasonal Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

Overall, this is a cute little set and you can use it for Halloween decorations. The bad thing about it is that the amount of stickers on it for such a small set.

LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128) Review

July 17, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128)

Next month, LEGO will be releasing some new flagship LEGO Technic sets and the first one I want to take a look at is the Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128). The set has 2,017 pieces and will retail for $149.99. I will preface this review by saying that I do not do Technic that much but I’ll try my best to cover the main parts of the set.

LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128)

There are numbered bags to four as well as separate bags for some of the Technic beams and rubber tubes. For such a large amount of parts in the set, I’m surprised LEGO packed all the parts in only four sets of bags. Also included is one large instruction book as well as a decent sized sticker sheet.

The first set of bags are used for the frame of the Tow Truck. Here, you’ll find the main gear mechanism for the various features in the set. It may look complicated to non-Technic folk like me but it’ll make sense as you continue building.

LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128)

LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128)

As we move to the second set of bags, we are focusing on the middle and back of the truck, mainly the wheel lift arm and the rotating boom. The lift arm uses a piston to move the arm up and down using the pump right behind the cab. You can lift the whole rig up by turning the front-left gear on the left side of the truck.

LEGO Harry Potter Hermione’s Study Desk (30392) Polybag Revealed

July 16, 2021 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO Harry Potter polybag that has surfaced on the LEGO building instructions page with Hermione’s Study Desk (30392). The polybag consists of 31 pieces but there’s no word yet on the pricing or if it’s a gift with purchase promotional item. If you can buy it, it’ll most likely be $4.99.

It features Hermione with the Hogwarts robes along with a desk and it even has a stand for the owl even though she didn’t really have an owl. The polybag also includes a mystery wizard card. Since they are randomly inserted into sets, this may be the cheapest way to collect them aside from buying directly from the secondary market.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

LEGO latest offering for the LEGO BrickHeadz line is something that’s really interesting and different than what they’ve been doing which is La Catrina (40492). La Catrina is designed by José Guadalupe Posada and is the icon of the Mexican Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The set has 141 pieces and will be available on August 1 for $9.99.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

She wears a very colorful dress that’s in magenta with green and yellow accents. The dress is pretty fluffy as shown with the slopes on all four sides. The front of the dress has a printed 1×4 brick to show the collar.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

La Catrina’s face is also printed with various tiles and it is decorated with some traditional designs as seen on other art pieces such as the dots around the face and the stitched mouth.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

Her magenta colored hat is filled with decorations in the front lip which includes some flowers.

LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492)

Overall, the LEGO BrickHeadz La Catrina (40492) is a pretty unique BrickHeadz since it doesn’t really fit into any of their subthemes. I suppose it could be be Halloween related since the character is to celebrate the Day of the Dead. I really like the designs on it and I’m sure fans will customize it to their liking.

Minifigures

There are three minifigures in this set, Captain Carter, Steve Rogers, and Red Skull. Captain Carter is the result of Peggy Carter taking the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Roger. She has on a dark blue outfit and is designed with the Union Jack. There is hardly any red on it which is different from what was seen in the traier. The back of the torso has printing for the harness for the shield. She has a double-sided head with a smile on one side and an angry expression on the other. Her accessory is a shield also designed with the Union Jack.

What is Going on with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga?

July 12, 2021 / / 0 Comments

One of the main questions I’ve been getting recently is what is going on with TT Games and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and if it will ever be released. Honestly, I have no idea what is happening with the company. The game has been delayed a few times now due to COVID with no major updates about the game even during E3 last month which was very surprising.

Last week, there was a Xbox Two podcast that suggested that Warner Bros. was looking to sell NetherRealm Studios and TT Games according to some documents seen by Windows Central’s Jez Corden. However that was all disputed as TheGamer got a response from Remi Sklar of Warner Bros. saying that NetherRealm and TT Games will remain a part of Warner Bros. Games and are included in the Warner Media Discovery merger so that debunked that report.

In addition, there have been a lot of TT Games employees that have been leaving the company in the past year, some of whom have been working on The Skywalker Saga. As we know in our regular jobs, replacing people is sometimes difficult and new employees need time to get acclimated to what they are working on.

Although I’m still excited for the game personally, other people may be losing their interest for it. At this point, I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the game was delayed until next year. As a gamer myself, people need updates on the status of games and with TT Games not giving any, it … Continue

LEGO Listed as San Diego Comic Con 2021 at Home Exhibitor

July 8, 2021 / / 0 Comments

San Diego Comic Con 2021 at Home will be happening in a few weeks and the panel and exhibitor lists have been revealed and it looks like LEGO will be doing something during the event. It doesn’t look like they will be doing any panels but they are on the exhibitor list which makes me think there will be some LEGO exclusives.

As we know by now, LEGO usually does exclusives during SDCC and there were even a few sets and minifigures last year but they weren’t revealed until months after the event. It looks like this year could be a little different and they may be selling something as they are more prepared this year than last year when the pandemic was in full swing.

Other companies have already been revealing and doing pre-orders for their exclusives so it’ll be interesting to see if LEGO announces any exclusives or reveals any new sets. Obviously, this is just my thinking and LEGO may not be doing anything at all but we’ll see. San Diego Comic Con 2021 at Home will be happening in a few weeks from July 23-25.

LEGO Gives Update on BrickLink Designer Program

July 7, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO just finished a roundtable regarding the BrickLink Designer Program regarding some of the concerns from the initial launch last week. There was massive traffic to BrickLink compared to Black Friday shopping. In fact, somehow there were actually 10,000 Castle in the Forest sets sold when there was originally a limit of 5,000 total pre-orders per project. As a result, LEGO/BrickLink will allow the other projects to also reach 10,000 pre-orders as well. The first round of crowdfunding will reopen again on August 3 to allow that to happen. The Castle will not reopen for pre-orders since it already reach 10k pre-orders already. This will in turn push the dates of the next crowdfunding rounds back even further.

There will now be a limit of one pre-order per person to allow more fans to get their hands on the sets. If you saw, resellers were selling the Castle in the Forest for about $800 after it was the first set to sell out. LEGO has also taken action against resellers on eBay to not allow scalpers to profit from it.

As far as designs and pricing for the next projects not mentioned in the press release below, LEGO may reveal them a bit early give buyers details of them before crowdfunding starts.

July 7, 2021 / / 0 Comments

If you’re an AFOL, LEGO is doing a survey on what you are passionate about. The reason for it is to better understand the AFOL audience and what else they like. The survey is open to everyone and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. The feedback back they receive will help them understand how to engage with the community.

As an AFOL, we know you are passionate about building – but what else are you passionate about? Do current sets support your interest? How do you connect with the community? How engaged are you with the LEGO Group?

Our department is conducting a new survey on AFOL Passion. We want to answer these questions so we can better understand our AFOL audience and what they love the most. We have done similar surveys in the past but it’s time to update our information to stay up-to-date 🙂

The survey is anonymous and open to everyone, everywhere. We estimate it’ll take about 15 minutes to answer, and the feedback you give us will help us better understand how to engage with the AFOL community.

Please take the share and share it here. Right now we have no end date and will close the survey when our response rate reaches a set threshold.

BrickLink to Give Update Next Week on BrickLink Designer Program

July 3, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The first crowdfunding round for the BrickLink Designer Program came and went just like that and it didn’t go over well with some fans with some of the issues they had. They have put out a statement saying they’ve read your comments and frustrations and will give an update some time next week.

As we know by now, there were some glaring issues right from the get-go. First was the site crashes when the pre-orders started. Next was the 5,000 limit which went way quicker than expected. There was a recent article by Jay’s Brick Blog stating that the 5,000 limit was intentional due to manufacturing constraints and if they made more, the satisfaction of owning a limited edition set goes down. I can tell you that there are more unsatisfied fans than happy ones right now.

The 40 day crowdfunding time that they provided was way overestimated as the projects reached the goal in less than a day. Lastly was the purchasing limit of five per project. This allowed mainly scalpers to buy up stock and left legit buyers out.

We’ll see what BrickLink has to say next week and if they address some of these issues. Were you able to get what you wanted? Personally, I just bought the Sheriff’s Safe.

BrickLink Designer Program First Crowdfunding Round Goals Reached

July 1, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The first crowdfunding round for the BrickLink Designer Program launched this morning and after about eight hours, we now know which sets will be produced. After some overload issues on the site this morning, fans were slowly able to pre-order the projects that they wanted to see produced and the first five to reach that goal are Castle in the Forest, Great Fishing Boat, Sheriff’s Safe, Pursuit of Flight, and Kakapo. BIONICLE Legends and Particle Accelerator are the two projects that are now eliminated and will not be made.

Castle in the Forest was the fastest one to sell out 5,000 copies and it hit that goal in about 40 minutes after pre-orders started. Following that was Great Fishing Boat and the others slowly followed. As of this post, Pursuit of Flight and Kakapo are the ones that hasn’t reached full pre-order capacity.

At first glance, I thought that BIONICLE Legends would’ve been one of the top five since they have a large but niche community but judging by the progress bar, it doesn’t look like it even it 1,500 pre-orders.

Note that the Mountain View Observatory has been pushed to a future crowdfunding round.

Were you able to place your orders and which one(s) did you get? Were you satisfied with how the pre-orders went? I thought it was smooth after the initial rush and checkout on the LEGO Shop was also nice. One complaint that I saw was that there was a max limit of five of a particular project that people could buy. … Continue

Mountain View Observatory Not Ready for BrickLink Designer Program Crowdfunding

June 30, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The BrickLink Designer Program is set to kick off the crowdfunding stage for the projects that were production ready. For those who were waiting to pre-order Mountain View Observatory, you won’t be able to because it has been moved to another round due to the high complexity of it. The last update on it was on May 14 for it to get ready but it wasn’t enough time to do so. Hopefully, it’ll be ready for either of the next crowdfunding rounds.

Unfortunately, due to high complexity of this project, it will no longer be included in Round 1 crowdfunding. It will be available for crowdfunding in another round. Please check back for updates.

There will still be seven projects available for pre-order tomorrow which includes the Sheriff’s Safe, Pursuit of Flight, BIONICLE Legends, Kakapo, Castle in the Forest, Particle Accelerator, and Great Fishing Boat.

Disney Asked LEGO to Rename New LEGO Star Wars Slave I Set

June 27, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday at LEGO CON 2021, LEGO announced three new LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian sets one of which is called Boba Fett’s Starship (75312). Fans of Star Wars know that it is originally called the Slave I and was wondering why it isn’t called that when previous sets were also called the Slave I.

Speaking at Fan Media Days, LEGO Star Wars Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen said that Disney have asked for the Slave I to be renamed Boba Fett’s Starship, as noted by Jedi News. It was also stated that dropping the Slave I name is “probably not something which has been announced publicly but it is just something that Disney doesn’t want to use any more.”

Disney has moved away from the word “slave” in past years with merchandise and marketing of “Slave Leia” and it looks like it has also been retired from the iconic ship’s name. Since all the previous LEGO Star Wars Slave I sets have been retired, you can only find them on the secondary market. The new Boba Fett’s Starship will be available starting on August 1 for $49.99.

LEGO CON 2021 Post-Event Press Release

June 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has just released a press release regarding LEGO CON 2021 and its “great success” for the event. I wouldn’t say it was great but it was entertaining here and there. I did like the interviews with the various LEGO designers as well as NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. The interactivity with viewers was also decent especially with the LEGO DOTS mosaic.

There were also some things that I didn’t really like about it. The main thing was the connection issues with the stream. I was watching/listening to it at work and suddenly there was silence. I thought my network went down but it was the actual stream that crashed and gave an error. I saw that others also had the same issue and I think it happened a few times.

As for the set reveals, there were a couple of them, one for LEGO Ideas and one for LEGO Star Wars. They announced the We Love Sport! set which was the Foosball Table but some people already knew that because LEGO accidentally posted it a few days ago before taking it down. The other annnoucement was for the Summer 2021 Mandalorian sets. One disappointment was that many fans were expecting the reveal of the UCS Republic Gunship which didn’t happen at all. The other “reveals” like the new LEGO Super Mario range and LEGO VIDIYO Boombox were already known about so they weren’t really reveals.

Overall, the event was a decent event that could be improved on if LEGO decides to make it an annual event.… Continue

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) Delayed at adidas

June 25, 2021 / / 0 Comments

For those who have been waiting for the new adidas Superstar shoe and the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) set to launch on July 1 over on adidas’s site, there is some bad news as both items have been delayed. We have been notified that due to some unexpected transportation delays, it won’t be available on adidas’s channel until July 30 but it will still be be available on July 1 on the LEGO Shop. This is only relevant if you have some rewards over on adidas but I’m assuming most of you will be purchasing from LEGO.

There have been unexpected transportation delays on both the Superstar wearable and Superstar LEGO set, meaning adidas will be launching the Superstar wearable shoe and 10282 Superstar LEGO set July 30th instead of July 1st through adidas. 10282 will still be available via LEGO channels July 1st.

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) GWP Details

June 25, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486)

Yesterday we did our review on the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set and if you didn’t see it yet, we revealed the details on how to get it. To get the 92 piece set, you’ll have to make a purchase of $85/€95/£95 from July 1-25, while supplies last. If you look at the price threshold, it is a little bit more than the 10282 buildable shoe which costs $79.99, if you were to get it. That means you’ll need to add a cheaper item or two to get you over the hump. An interesting sales tactic from LEGO if you ask me. As I mentioned in my review, the adidas GWP is a cute set but I don’t think it is worth a $85 purchase.

LEGO Ideas Earth Globe Teased in Video?

June 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO announced they have revealed the first prototype LEGO brick made from recycled plastic. In the video, could LEGO have teased part of the Earth Globe which was the winner of the First 2020 Review Stage on LEGO Ideas? It is currently under development with at least two more projects to be released ahead of it so there’s still a long ways away from being ready. The land masses have some updated coloring and parts for the terrain but the building style is pretty similar. Of course, this is just speculation and it’s just a brick-built globe LEGO had but it does make you wonder just a little bit. Thanks to Federico for the eagle eye.

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) Review

June 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486)

Last week, we got our first look at the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set that was shown in the designer video for the larger 10282 version. This 92 piece set will be available from July 1-25 with purchases of $85/€95/£95 or more on the LEGO Shop. You do not need to purchase the buildable adidas Superstar to get it but it will look nice next to it.

The set comes with a minifigure dressed as a adidas shoebox. The box is actually the 2×3 brick costume piece that we’ve seen before in previous Collectible Minifigures series with a tiled sticker on the front. He wears a white cap and has a microphone and boombox as accessories.

The sole of the shoe is made up of plates with the front using a modified 4×4 and the heel using a round 4×4 plate to get the angles. I will say that the back heel is very flimsy until you attach it to the sole. To get the look of the tongue, it uses a 2×6 plate with T-Pieces for the laces. There’s also an adidas sticker on a 2×2 slope at the end. The side designs uses printed 1×2 tiles.

From I’ve read online, fans really dig the smaller LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) build and it does look really cute. The threshold to get it is a little high for what you get but it is a licensed product. I would say $45-$55 would have been a better purchasing limit for it.

LEGO Reveals First Prototype LEGO Brick Made From Recycled Plastic

June 23, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has revealed the first prototype LEGO brick made from recycled plastic. Continuing their journey to make LEGO products from sustainable materials, the new brick uses PET plastic from discarded bottles. It has taken the team of 150 people over three years to meet several of their quality, safety and play requirements, including clutch power. A one-litre plastic PET bottle will provide enough raw material for ten 2×4 LEGO bricks. It’ll still be a while before we see recycled material bricks in LEGO sets as their next phase of testing will take at least another year.

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282)

LEGO dropped a surprise announcement yesterday with the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282) which is part of their ongoing collaboration with adidas. The set has 731 pieces and will retail for $79.99. Since LEGO introduced the new 18+ designation for some sets, it may attract people that aren’t really fans of LEGO but are fans of a particular item and for this instance, shoes, aka sneakerheads.

Box

Unlike the usual LEGO boxes, the Superstar actually comes in a shoebox which is something that enhances the value of the set a little. It does come LEGO branded throughout including a minifigure head cut-out on one side of the box and the copyright on the other.

LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (10282)

The bottom of the box shows the Superstar with its dimensions.

When you open the lid, you get the 18+ layout showing the Superstar on a black background.

When you cut open the tape, there’s another surprise as it comes with a sheet of tissue paper similar to when you buy a brand new shoe. It covers up the numbered bags and the instructions are at the bottom of the box.

The inside of the box is also decorated with the adidas logo on the flap and the bottom of the shoe on the bottom of the box.

The contents of the box include bags numbered to 7, the instruction booklet, and a small sticker for the stand.

Instructions

Like with all LEGO Ideas sets, the front gives a little insight about the set including a short excerpt about the fan designer, Steve Guinness. It also gives short quotes from the LEGO designers James May, Wes Talbott, and Martin Fink.

Letter

Included with the set is a booklet of a letter from LEGO Chairman, Thomas Kirk Kristiansen. There are letters in 43 different languages so there’s pretty much something for everyone. You can rip them off to put on the typewriter after you’re finished building.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

Build

There are three sections each set of bags are for. 1-4 are for the front frame and keyboard. 5-8 are for the back frame and the inner workings of the carriage. Bags 9-11 are for the platen and ribbon spools.

Bag 1 are the parts used for the frame of the keyboard, most of them having Technic beams.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327)

Bag 2 is for part of the frame for the keyboard. Here you use the arm builds from bag 1 and attach them in the correct sequence. This is easily the most tedious part of the whole build. If you messed up here after completing it, good luck finding the mistake.

LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) Rumored Details

There are some new rumored details for the characters of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) series. As we mentioned before, the series will be based around some of the Marvel Disney+ shows such as WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and What If…? If you haven’t watched any of the shows, there are some spoilers so don’t read on if you don’t want to be spoiled. The Loki and What If…? details seem to be very spoilery with what we could be seeing in future episodes.

WandaVision

Scarlet Witch will be in her new outfit where she fights Agatha Harkness. White Vision is the version seen in the show and has lot of detailed printing. Monica Rambeau looks to be in her spacey looking outfit after she goes through the Hex the last time.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Sam Wilson will be in the new Captain America outfit with brick-built wings and the shield. Bucky Barnes will have some printed arms with a knife and shield.

Loki

Loki with be in a VARIANT trench coat and he also comes with Throg who has a red cape and holds Frogjolnir. Lady Loki have a new hairpiece that has a diadem and has a green blade.

What If…?

Peggy Carter will be dressed as Captain Britain and has the Captain Britain shield and Tessaract. Zombie Captain America is pretty much what it is. It’s a zombified version of Steve Rogers. T’Challa as Star-Lord has a couple of blasters. Steve Roders as Spider-Man … Continue

LEGO Friends 2021 Advent Calendar (41690) Revealed

June 12, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Now that the LEGO Japan 2021 2HY Catalog is back up, we get to see some of the upcoming LEGO products and there’s an image of the LEGO Friends 2021 Advent Calendar (41690). Instead of the usual minidolls that we get for these calendars, there will be some new micro-dolls in this set. It’s a little hard to make out who the five micro-dolls are but I assume they are the main girls as kids. The image also doesn’t really show off the microbuilds so you aren’t spoiled on what will be coming.

Senior designer Mark Stafford talks about some of the dtails that goes into the set including talking about some of the minifigures. Note that the video didn’t really feature the Punisher even when they were showing each one individually. It’s pretty interesting but that’s another topic for another time.

LEGO Japan has re-released the 2021 2HY Catalog after it was taken down a few weeks ago. One thing that we weren’t able to talk about the first time around was the LEGO City 2021 Advent Calendar (60303) which we can now see again.

LEGO’s first venture into the book crowdfunding on Unbound for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks ended last week very successfully and we now wait for the book to be published. When the campaign ended, it had a 205% funding rate with 3,660 supporters which I bet is more than what LEGO could have imagined. For a quick note, there will be 3,783 names in the back of the book on the supporter list. Now we wait for Daniel Konstanski to finish writing the book and it should be released by Spring 2022.

LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) Amazon Sale – June 2021

The LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) is currently on sale on Amazon for 20% off which is the lowest price it has been at since last November. If you decide to pick it up, you’ll save $12 on it but there’s also a dilemma since there’s also a promotion going on at the LEGO Shop. The LEGO FRIENDS Mug (5006068) promo is still going on until June 23 when you purchase the set on the LEGO Shop. As of today, the mug is reselling for $35-$50 on the secondary market but I feel it’ll come down a little bit as more people get their orders in the mail.

LEGO Builder’s Journey Game Preview

June 8, 2021 / / 0 Comments

This morning, I attended a preview event for LEGO Builder’s Journey which will be available on Steam and Nintendo Switch on June 22. It was previously available for Apple Arcade but now, it has updated technology to be the world’s first ray-traced game made with Unity which is a custom integration specifically made for LEGO Builder’s Journey.

NVIDIA has teamed up with LEGO Games and Light Brick Studio to bring ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS in the game. If you’re not familiar with ray tracing, it is technology that brings realistic lighting while also having improved performance.

LEGO Builder’s Journey is an atmospheric, geometric puzzle game that asks us to sometimes follow the instructions… and sometimes to break the rules.

Take your time to experiment with free-form puzzle solving while immersing yourself in a poetic world of LEGO® bricks. Throughout the narrative, there will be ups and downs, challenges, and celebrations. Figuring out who we are and what we become is the Builder’s Journey.

The breathtaking LEGO brick world is brought to life with the most accurately rendered LEGO elements yet to feature on screens, including stunning ray tracing elements.
