Today is the last day to get your orders in for the LEGO Magic Maze (40596). You can get it for free with purchases of $150 or more. The promotion does stack with the LEGO Halloween Fun VIP Add-On Pack (40608) which only requires a $50 purchase. Keep in mind that the Double Points event starts tonight but you don’t get the maze.

The BrickLink MOC Pop-Up Store has recently added nine more submissions to their expansive list of custom designs that you can purchase. This makes the count of designs up to 50 to choose from. If you’re not familiar with the store, it is made up of projects that did not pass the various phases of the BrickLink Designer Program but is allowed to sell their designs by also gathering the required parts from various BrickLink stores or through LEGO Pick a Brick.
The BrickLink MOC Pop-Up Store is still a pilot program and will be ending around the middle of November. You can order instructions and/or parts during this timeframe. After the pilot closes, BrickLink will evaluate the program and see if they will continue it in the future or make any changes to it.
Select Barnes & Noble stores will be hosting a Halloween Make and Take event on October 14-15 for a LEGO Jack-o’-Lantern. The set has 113 pieces and you will be able to make a custom pumpkin by designing the face with a variety of bricks. We don’t have a list of the participating stores so you should contact your local store to see if they are doing it.
Update: I’ve been told that some stores are also doing it on October 13, Friday the 13th so be sure to double check if you want to attend.
LEGO has put up the product page for the upcoming LEGO Creator Scary Pirate Island (40597) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop. The 214 piece set features an island of a shark head with a cave inside the mouth along with a small castle ruin on the side. The official details on when and how to get it are still unknown at this time but a Thai advertisement shows that it’ll be from October 13-22 so it should be around that time. If so, it’ll also run alongside the Double Points Event which runs from October 10-15.
LEGO® fans can celebrate Halloween by staging their own adventures on Scary Pirate Island (40597). The island features a shark’s head with a cave inside its open jaws, plus a creepy castle ruin with a staircase. Explorers can find a treasure chestfull of gold and jewelry, a skull and a bat. Paddling towards the island on a raft is a treasure-seeking pirate with an oar and a sword. A Halloween gift for kids aged 8+, this set looks great on display and can be used to play out fun-filled stories.
Ever since LEGO announced they have entered into a partnership with Epic Games, fans have wondered if we would ever be getting any LEGO Fortnite sets and it looks like we may be getting something in the near future. Over on the LEGO Certification page, there’s an entry for set number 5008257 which is for a Llama. If you’ve played Fortnite before, it does have a very similar look to the Supply Llama that spawns at random locations on the map. It looks small enough to assume that it could be either a polybag or a Make & Take set. There’s no word yet on when it will be released.
The LEGO Shop has updated their offers page and it has been confirmed that there will be a LEGO Insiders Double Points event starting next week. From October 10-15, you can earn double points o your entire purchase on the LEGO Shop and in LEGO Brand Stores. Now is a great time to have it with so many new sets that have been released since the last time which was back in June.
