It looks like return of the LEGO Houses of the World 1 (40583) was short-lived as it has now sold out again on the LEGO Shop. The promotion was supposed to last until March 12 but it only lasted about a day and a half this time. The initial wave in January lasted less than a week so we’re not sure if LEGO held back stock for future promo periods or if it was return stock from the first wave. LEGO Brand Stores may still have them in stock if you’re still looking for it but I suggest calling to double check.
A short while ago, LEGO released the designer video for the new LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings Rivendell (10316). LEGO Designers Chris Perron, Wes Talbott, and Ashwin Visser talk about the many details that can be found in the 6,167 piece set. This is one of the longer designer videos that LEGO has put out in a long time.
The set is still available for purchase on the LEGO Shop and you just have a few days left to get in on the promo for the free LEGO BrickHeadz Frodo & Gollum (40603) which ends tomorrow night. The Houses of the World 1 (40583) has already sold out again. That one was supposed to run until next Sunday. LEGO Brand Stores may still have them in stock so I would call your local one to check.
