Are the LEGO Tie-In GWPs Out of Control?

October 24, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week, LEGO will be releasing two new gift with purchase sets that ties in to some of their new releases but is LEGO going overboard with these types of promotions? The two in question are the Entrance Gate for The Botanical Garden (21353) and Cerebro for the X-Men: X-Mansion (76294) and including those, there have been I believe five sets are similar that have been released this year which includes the Mimic Dice Box, the Technic P1 Logo, and Fell Beast, Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network, Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber.

From a business perspective, it’s smart for LEGO to tie in certain GWPs with sets they go with since they know fans will buy them. From the buyer’s perspective, it hard to keep up with some of the releases if you’re into those fandoms and there’s a sense of FOMO since there’s only a limited time to get them. If we’re just looking at the six sets above, unless you’re using reward points for discounts, you’re looking at almost $2,800 pre-tax.

We already know that LEGO will most likely continue these types of promotions in the future so it’s inevitable. As more and more sets become more expensive, it’ll be harder to justify these purchases unless the promo sets are proportional to the main sets.

LEGO Set Reveal Live Stream Tomorrow

October 21, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Remember that there will be a livestream tomorrow for a new LEGO set reveal at 9am PT/12pm ET. In addition, there’s also a sweepstakes to win a signed set or a $100 e-gift card. You can also redeem 50 Insider points for one of 100 customized minifigures, while supplies last. Last week when we covered this, I don’t remember seeing it being limited to 100 so better have some quick fingers whenever that goes live.

As for what is being revealed, we’re not totally sure but odds are it will be the LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353) which was teased on the LEGO Shop before being taken down.

LEGO has announced that there will be a live set reveal on October 22 at 12pm ET. During the reveal, there will be a Q&A session with the set designers. In addition, there will be a sweepstakes for a chance to win a signed copy of the set or a $100 e-gift card.

My guess for the reveal is the LEGO Ideas The Botanical Garden (21353) since it was teased a few days ago.
