LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) GWP Sold Out for General Release?

February 19, 2024 / / 0 Comments

Today was supposed to be the general release of the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop but it looks like that won’t be happening, at least in the US. Unless there’s some sort of delay on the LEGO Shop, it appears that the set has been sold out since it doesn’t even show up in the cart even after adding the required $200 to get it. Once big clue was that it wasn’t available yesterday when the promotional period for LEGO Insiders was still going. LEGO Brand Stores could still have them in stock so I recommend calling them to check.

If you’re not a LEGO Insider, I highly suggest signing up for this free program as you can earn points towards discounts and other LEGO items that are exclusive to it.

The 2024 London Toy Fair is now going on and there’s some LEGO Space news coming out of the event from Brickset. As we know by now, LEGO is celebrating the Space theme this year with space sets being produced from a wide range of themes including City, Classic, Creator, DREAMZzz, DUPLO, Friends, and Technic.

According to a graphic from the toy fair, it looks like LEGO has made space sets for even more themes such as Art, Icons, and even the Collectible Minifigures line. We’ll most likely see these space sets during the summer 2024 releases.

LEGO Design Seminar 2023 Cosmic Daydreams (DS2023) Includes Purple Classic Space Astronaut Minifigure

October 29, 2023 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO held their 2023 Design Seminar and there was an exclusive LEGO Classic Space set given out as gifts with the Cosmic Daydreams (DS2023). The seminar was a space themed so not surprising that the give was also space related. What’s most interesting about the 148 piece set is that it includes a purple Classic Space astronaut minifigure. The description of the set reads:

Everyone has their role to play in space – Pilots, Scientists, Engineers, even Mech-Operators. But the purple Spaceman, that one’s the Dreamer. Dreamers imagine the impossible and bring their wildest thoughts to life! They inspire us to look up, ask the big questions, and build a better universe for everyone!

It even displays the huge NOT FOR RESALE sign that LEGO puts on various items so it’ll be pretty hard to get this set. For those who collect the astronaut minifigures in various colors, you can still get the various pieces on Pick-a-Brick and the torso can be found with the Space Creature from the Series 22 Collectible Minifigures (71032) but it does have some arm printing so it’s not a totally a pure purple torso. Unless a LEGO designer decides to move on from LEGO, we probably won’t be seeing this set hit the secondary market anytime soon. Hopefully LEGO will include the purple astronaut in a future set.
