If you’re heading to the LEGO House at the end of the month, there will be a exclusive retail product launch held there and tickets are now available. Every year around this time, the LEGO House releases a new set that you can only get there at retail price.
For this year’s event, it’ll be held on February 28 or March 1 for a price of 995 DKK. The event is four hours long and it also includes a light dinner followed by the reveal presentation with the product designers and a LEGO corporate historian. In addition, you will be able to get a copy of the set signed by the designers. The event package also includes a one day ticket to the experience zones during the event day.

About a week ago, LEGO revealed a new LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog set called the Badnik Crabmeat (40781). At first, we didn’t know how it would be distributed whether it being a regular set that we could buy or it would be a gift with purchase set considering the set number.
We can now confirm that it will be available in the LEGO Insiders Rewards Center very soon. It is listed to be available starting today but nothing has been loaded up yet. When it does go live, you can get the 181 piece set for 2,000 points.
