Amazon has discounted another LEGO Star Wars set that was just recently released with the Droideka (75381). The 583 piece set is now on sale for $51.99 which saves you 20% or $13 on it. This version of the Droideka is probably the most accurate version of the droid that LEGO has made simply because it’s much larger than previous ones thus LEGO having more room to add details to it.

Billund, Denmark, 10th July 2024: The British supercar maker McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group today unveil their latest collaboration paying tribute to the world’s most pioneering hybrid hypercar, with the introduction of the LEGO® Technic™ McLaren P1™.
The McLaren P1™ redefined automotive high-performance as the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar of its time. The P1™ leveraged McLaren’s advanced motorsport-based engineering, featuring ground-breaking advances in weight reduction, packaging, high-speed performance, powertrain and aerodynamics.
Created with the intention of being ‘the best driver’s car in the world on both road and track’, the design and technical specifications of the McLaren P1™ provided the ideal foundation to deliver on this ambition. The remarkable hypercar is recognised as a landmark both for McLaren and the development of high-performance hybrid vehicles.
The incredible engineering and technology underpinning the performance, style and functional design the McLaren P1™, made it the perfect challenge for the LEGO Technic team to replicate in 1:8 scale.

The San Diego Comic Con 2024 Exclusives Portal is now live and it doesn’t look like LEGO will be having anything this year. As suspected, LEGO seems to have stepped back from giving out exclusives for the convention. The rumor since after COVID was that LEGO was not happy with fans reselling the items and that’s why they have stopped.
LEGO will be at SDCC 2024 at their usual Booth #2829. There’s no information yet on what they will be doing there or what theme it will be. Last year, it was the Brickbuster Video booth which was designed as an old school Blockbuster store. They did have a Build Your Own Minifigure experience which you could say was an exclusive but it’s not as popular as the previous minifigures and sets. The panels and signings still have yet to be revealed so we’ll update as soon as those are announced.
In another LEGO set that is part of the new Build Together line, they have revealed another set with the Message Board (41839). Releasing on August 4, the set has 1,743 pieces and will retail for $99.99. The set features a buildable message board which can build up to 30 letters in the Latin alphabet. The set joins Travel Moments (41838) as part of this new building together theme.
There are some decent sales on Amazon right now and one that just popped up is for the LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship (75354). For the first time on the site, the set has been discounted 20% and has been reduced to $111.95 which saves you $28 on it.
The 1,083 piece gunship was released just last year and is the first one of its kind in a few years. It also includes minifigures of Chancellor Palpatine, Commander Fox, 2 Coruscant Guards, and Padmé Amidala.

Continuing with the early Amazon Prime Day deals, they have discounted the LEGO Star Wars Boarding the Tantive IV (75387) by 20%. The set was just released a few months ago as part of the LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary line and it includes the exclusive ARC Trooper Fives from the Clone Wars.

Bluey!! by Monkey Scout is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is the third time the same project has reached the goal by the fan but there are slight changes to it. The 2,395 build still has the house but it is half the size of the original one.
The project joins Claw Machine Wallace & Gromit – A Grand Day Out, Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus Multi Player, Impression Sunrise – Monet, The Loneliness of the Voyager – NASA’s Voyager Mission, Humpback Whale Breach, Tintin – Space Rocket, The Iron Giant in the Forest, Tetris Solid, Working Image Projector “Magic Lantern”, Popcorn Machine, Arsenal F.C. – The Invincibles, Sony Walkman, Sony Walkman, Hydroelectric Power Plant, Floating Sea Otter, Avatar: The Last Airbender!, and Blacksmith Wild West as the ones to reach the Second 2024 Review Stage.
