Walmart currently has the LEGO Galaxy Explorer (10497) on sale for 25% off. This sale has been going on and off for the past weeks now so if you don’t see it, you may want to check back in from time to time. The set is still fairly popular with older builders as it hits the nostaglia factor and is an even better deal now that it’s discounted.

A few days ago while I was away, LEGO dropped the designer video for the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300), six months after its initial release. Ali Plumb talks with LEGO Designer Sven Franic and Yoel Mazur about some of the details that are in the set for all three versions of the car.
The non-DeLorean named Back to the Future Time Machine is now widely available and the LEGO Shop finally has inventory on it since it had a $30 price bump on it back in August.

Yesterday was LEGO Day at Macy’s and Toys R Us stores and fans who attended was supposed to get the items shown above but it didn’t happen that way for a lot of stores. From the pictures I’ve been sent, some stores did get polybags but I didn’t see any with the Clown (30565) but there were reports of that got the advertised items.
Some stores got five polybags including DUPLO My First Space Rocket (30332), DOTS Adventure Bracelets (41918), Build Your Own Monster or Vehicles – Make It Yours (30564), Parrot (30472), and LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Plantimal Ambush (30460) along with a Series 22 Minifigure blind bag, the LEGO Masters swoop bag, and a Star Wars poster. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some only got the Series 22 minifigure which was a definite waste of time. Sounds like a miscommunication somewhere between LEGO and the stores. I’ve reached out to LEGO to see what happened there.
The Neverending Story (40th Anniversary) by FACEBRICKUP is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features a brick-built Falkor along with Bastian, Atreyu, the Childlike Empress, and Artax.
The project joins Ancient Roman Temple, This is Fine, Castle Dracula, Pac-Man Moving Display, The Lost City, Japanese Courtyard Garden 坪庭, The Travel Suitcase, Pixar’s Up House With Balloons, BotW Temple of Time, Wright Flyer, Classic Thunderbirds, JWST, Golden Clifftop Temple, Cipher Machine, Sewer Heroes: Fighting the Fatberg, London Underground, The Architect’s House, and Community as the ones to reach the Third 2022 Review Stage.
As reported yesterday, the LEGO House Dinosaurs (40366) are now available for purchase on the LEGO Shop in the UK, Ireland, and Denmark. This is a limited time offer and will be available while supplies last.
Again, this is only available for those select countries due to legal issues with the set packaging and instructions. Below is a statement from the LEGO House of why the set can only be sold at those countries.
The LEGO House exclusive sets were produced with the intention of only being sold in the LEGO House Store in Billund, DK. As such, the packaging and building instructions for these sets do not contain the legal requirements necessary for distribution in many other countries around the world. Due to this, distribution of LEGO House Dinosaurs will be limited to Denmark, UK, and Ireland.
