If you have Amazon Prime, the new LEGO DREAMZzz series is now available to watch. You can get 10 full episodes of 22 minutes each which equates to about 4 hours of enjoyment. They won’t be on YouTube for a few more hours. If you didn’t know, LEGO DREAMZzz is LEGO’s newest in-house IP with a line of sets coming this August and is inspired by the way kids dream.

LEGO has finally put up the product pages for the upcoming summer 2023 wave of LEGO Harry Potter sets. We’ve already seen them but there are now clearer pictures of them as well as price points. You can even pre-order Dobby the House-Elf (76421) and it’ll ship by June 1.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider by Lego.Ozzy.Fan is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 270 piece build features a Speed Champions scale model of the late 1950’s car.
The project joins “Big Boy” Locomotive, Retro Arcade, Spartan Helmet of Leonidas as the ones to reach the Second 2023 Review Stage.
In my last review of the LEGO Harry Potter Banner sets, we take a look at the Hufflepuff House Banner (76412). It has 313 pieces and retails for $34.99 like the other ones in the wave.
There are some images of a new LEGO DC Batman 1992 (30653) polybag that have started to hit store shelves. It has 40 pieces and most likely will be available at Target for $4.99. There is a rumored 1992 Batcave (76252) coming this summer and supposedly this version of Batman will be in it. The molded cowl piece has an updated symbol and the torso is slightly different from the one in the 1989 Batmobile (76139) and the 1989 Batwing.

There are new reports that the LEGO Super Mario theme could be retiring by summer 2024. The Adventures with Mario (71360), Adventures with Luigi (71387), and Adventures with Peach (71403) Starter Courses were supposed to be produced until July 2026 but it looks like that date has been pushed up to July 2024. This piece of news is interesting as the new LEGO Donkey Kong were just announced and won’t be available until August. This means the sets will only be available for about a year or so while the existing sets will be done by July 2024.
There’s no reasoning on why the End-of-Life date was pushed up but it’s easy to assume that the LEGO Super Mario sets don’t do as as LEGO had expected them to do. It seems the sets are always on constant sales on Amazon to get rid of inventory.
Fans of Super Mario were hoping to have minifigure scale sets but that didn’t happen, most likely because Nintendo makes the call on what they want produced. In addition, LEGO really dropped the ball on any sets based on The Super Mario Bros. Movie which became the highest grossing film based on a video game.
