LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) in Production Through 2018

June 9, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

The new LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) is a very hot commodity at the moment and you’ll be lucky if you are able to find it available in stores. It’s so sought after at this time that LEGO Shop@Home has it out of stock for the time being with no estimated return date. Other retailers like Barnes and Noble may have it but your mileage may vary. Fans who are desperate for the set have resorted going to the secondary market however I would advise not going that route.

I believe LEGO has learned from the past in releasing limited sets, like the Research Institute (21110), especially for a theme like LEGO Ideas which has fans from all over, even those who are not traditional LEGO fans. In a recent post on Reddit, a user has gotten confirmation from LEGO that production of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) will continue production for at least through 2018. This isn’t shocking news but it does reassure people that there will be more of the sets coming.

The moral of the story is to be patient and don’t pay scalper prices for something that will be coming back in the near future.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929) Found at US Toys R Us

June 9, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

It finally looks like the US will be getting The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929) in a wider release. A reader has sent in an image of the polybag set out in a New Jersey Toys R Us. We’re still not sure of the official release date of it at TRU as they had to key it in but it rang up for $5.99 each.

If you remember from earlier this week, LEGOLAND California also has a promotion going for the Batman Battle Pod so it appears that LEGO will be finally releasing it here in the US. The item number 740399 and the SKU is 673419269292.

There’s still no word on whether TRU will be the only retailer having it available or if Shop@Home or other outlets will have them as well. Be on the lookout at your local Toys R Us to see if they have it at your store. Thanks to Todd for emailing this in.

Update: I’ve been told that it will officially be available at TRU starting on Sunday. We’ll see what sort of promo it goes with when the weekly ad comes out in a few days. Thanks to Peter for this info.
