LEGO has announced that they will be launching the first elementary school STEAM classes for Chinese students starting next year. In order to do that, they will also be launching some region exclusive sets in China to celebrate the Lunar New Year and it will be the first time that the company has done that for a specific country. You can read the full press release in the link above. Note that the image was provided in the press release and it has a confidential watermark.
BrickLink has announced that they have teamed up with LEGO to launch something new called the AFOL Designer Program. According to the post, BrickLink will be hosting the program for a short time so I assume LEGO will be hosting it themselves in the future. There’s no word on what it is about but stay tuned on September 12 when they announce the details of the program. What do you guy think the AFOL Designer Program is about?
There are now more detailed images of the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) from the summer 2018 wave of the LEGO Creator sets. This year is the year of the roller coasters and it’s due time that we get something like this to add to the Fairground subtheme for LEGO Creator line. The first roller coaster was introduced with The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor (70922) and it reuses some of the tracks in a new and more restrained color.
The 923 piece Pirate Roller Coaster is a 3-in-1 set which means that the main model can be changed into two other models using the same parts. The set pays homage to classic Eldorado Fortress (6276) with the Imperial Fortress and you also get a skull to go along with it. The other suggested builds include a small back and forth track and a mini-go-round.

It looks like 2017 is the year of the astromech droids as far as LEGO Star Wars polybags are concerned. There has been a new R3-M2 (40268) polybag that’s the traditional minifigure version that’s been found in a Romanian monobrand store. Upon some research, R3-M2 is from Rogue One.
If you look closely, you can see that it’s on it’s own stand and has a plaque card on the back with the name tag appearing to be a sticker. There’s even a Technic pin on the side of the stand that suggests there could be more polybags like this in the future.
I have a feeling that the R3-M2 (40268) will be this year’s May the 4th polybag promotion.

LEGO has just released a new retro set that pays homage to the LEGO Castle theme with the Classic Knights Minifigure (5004419) set. It contains 47 pieces and it is currently free with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.
I don’t feature LEGO MOCs that often here but since Lunar/Chinese New Year is coming up in a few weeks which I’m pretty excited about, I think it’ll be nice to feature some based around the holiday since 2016 is the Year of the Monkey. Here we have Cid Hsiao’s version of Sun Wukong, aka the Monkey King.
The amount of detail that went into the build is pretty spectacular especially in the head which sometimes is the hard to create. The build is based on the character in the famous novel, Journey to the West, and in recent times seen in video games such as League of Legends and Smite.
