August 20, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago during the Paris Olympics, we reported that Rugby bronze medallist Sammy Sullivan is a huge LEGO fan and there’s a happy update to this story. It looks like LEGO has finally given her a shout out as well as some big surprises which includes a framed LEGO minifigure poster of her as well as the LEGO icons Eiffel Tower (10307) that she has been eyeing. You can just see the joy that Sammy has on her face when she pulls out the items after making a mess. “Whatever your dreams are in life, you can achieve them.”

It has 2,405 pieces and will be priced at $259.99.

LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Weasley Clock (5009008) GWP Revealed

August 19, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Following the LEGO Harry Potter Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network (40690), LEGO has revealed another gift with purchase set with the Collectible Weasley Clock (5009008). There’s so information yet on how to get it but but I’m guessing it’ll be part of The Burrow – Collectors’ Edition (76437) whenever it releases. Just like in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the clock shows where each of the family member is at.

From The Burrow’s living room to a Harry Potter™ fan’s home: the Collectible Weasley Clock. As Harry Potter once said of the real Weasley Clock, this magical room decor is useless for telling the time but otherwise very informative! The clockface has a spinning center to point at one of the possible locations: ’Home’, ’School’, ’Work’, ’Traveling’, ’Lost’, ’Hospital’, ’Prison’ and ’Mortal Peril’. This LEGO® Harry Potter ornament makes a cool gift for girls, boys and fans aged 6 and up.

LEGO has revealed a new LEGO Harry Potter gift with purchase set with the Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network (40695). The set has 190 pieces and will complement the not-yet-revealed The Burrow – Collectors’ Edition (76437) which I assume will be included when you buy the set.

Join Lucius Malfoy at Borgin and Burkes and play out magical stories with this LEGO® Harry Potter™ Diagon Alley™ toy (40695) for kids aged 8 and up. It features a Lucius Malfoy minifigure and a brick-built interior section of Borgin & Burkes, including a fireplace with a Floo Network function – turn the handle to make the minifigure ’disappear’! This model complements 76437 The Burrow – Collectors’ Edition and other LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley sets, sold separately.
