French online retailer Fnac has revealed a new LEGO Disney 100 set with A Homage to Walt Disney (43230). Set to release on September 1, the set has 811 pieces and features a brick-built camera with film strip. It also has minifigures of Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Bambi, and Dumbo.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Lyonsblood is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 350 piece build features the iconic caterpillar from the children’s book that I’m sure everybody has read before. The caterpillar is poseable and the project also includes the different fruit as well.
The project joins “Big Boy” Locomotive, Retro Arcade, Spartan Helmet of Leonidas, Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, The Muppet Show, Red Bull Racing F1 Team RB18 1:12, Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, Western River Steamboat, Dreamwork’s Shrek Swamp, Asterix & Obelix, Venice, Stilt House, Red Bull RB18, Trojan Horse, Red Dwarf: Sleeping Quarters, TaleSpin Seaduck Meeting Seagull, Stud Lane Book Nook, Greenhouse, Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Box: Dark Magician vs Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Phineas and Ferb Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc., Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Taylor Swift “Lover House”, The Motograph, Taylor Swift’s Lover House, Disney’s Phineas and Ferb: Perry the Platypus/Agent P, Flying Scotsman – LNER Class A3 4472 4-6-2 Pacific Steam Locomotive, Jumanji Game Board, and Kerbal Space Program – Modular Ship System as the ones to reach the Second 2023 Review Stage.
In my next review of the LEGO DREAMZzz line, we take a look at Mateo and Z-Blob the Robot (71454). This set has 237 pieces and retails for $19.99.
The LEGO Ideas Singles’ Day My, Myself, and I fan vote is now live and you can vote which set you want as a future gift with purchase set. There are 15 finalists and fans have only one vote to pick your favorite one. The premise of the contest was to build something people do by themselves using a maximum of 250 bricks. Too bad LEGO has to choose only one because a lot of them are really good. The deadline to vote is only one week on July 11 so get your voices heard.
One of the more anticipated days of the month is here and I’m not talking about Independence Day. The LEGO Icons Eldorado Fortress (10320) is now available for purchase on the LEGO Shop. The set retails for $214.99 and is a tribute for the 1989 set of the same name. Unfortunately, there are no promotions going alongside it and it’ll probably be temporarily sold out by the time the next one comes around.

The San Diego Comic Con 2023 exclusives portal is now live and it doesn’t look like LEGO will have any exclusives for sale this year. We’re still a few weeks away from the event and there’s still time for companies to add themselves to the list since we have until July 16 to submit our entries but so far, it’s not looking promising. There’s a chance that they could do something directly at their booth but that would be a mess and I can already hear the security say “you can’t stand here, keep moving.”
The last time that LEGO did any exclusives was back in 2019 before the pandemic closed everything down the year after. Back then, they had a few exclusives that lucky fans were able to purchase as well as minifigures that were given away at random. LEGO did sell their exclusives online in 2020 at various retailers and they went rather quickly with some of them managing to restock a few times. Other than that, it’s been quiet the past few years and it looks to be the same this year. Again, I’ve heard that they were done with exclusives altogether because of the reselling that people do during the con and they weren’t happy with that but that’s just a rumor that was relayed to me a few times.
The Kerbal Space Program – Modular Ship System by Sam67c is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features a ship that you could build in the game which includes the Mk1-3 Cockpit and has over 40 possible mini builds.
The project joins “Big Boy” Locomotive, Retro Arcade, Spartan Helmet of Leonidas, Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, The Muppet Show, Red Bull Racing F1 Team RB18 1:12, Scooby Doo Mystery Machine, Western River Steamboat, Dreamwork’s Shrek Swamp, Asterix & Obelix, Venice, Stilt House, Red Bull RB18, Trojan Horse, Red Dwarf: Sleeping Quarters, TaleSpin Seaduck Meeting Seagull, Stud Lane Book Nook, Greenhouse, Yu-Gi-Oh!
