LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
LEGO has posted a teaser of what could be the imminent reveal of the upcoming LEGO Ideas Jaws set. The Jaws project reached the 10k supporter goal back in November 2022 and was chosen as once of the winners of the Third 2022 Review Stage along with the Cat which eventually became the Tuxedo Cat (21349).
The San Diego Comic Con 2024 Exhibit Floor layout has been released and it looks like LEGO will be returning this year. The map shows that they’ll be at their usual spot at Booth #2829 but unless I missed it somehow, the exhibitor list does not show them on there. It’s probably just an oversight on Comic Con’s end and they’ll be added on later.
As of right now, there’s literally no information on what LEGO has planned there. Last year, we didn’t have any exclusive sets. All we got was the Build a Minifigure booth and the pins that you could’ve gotten. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is the same thing for this year or something similar.
I’ll be attending as press once again and will be covering any LEGO panels. I may have a few The Brick Fan bricks to give away but there won’t be many.
Update: LEGO has been added to the exhibitor list so they have been confirmed to be there this year.
Yesterday LEGO Pick a Brick released hundreds of new parts for purchase and one of them was supposed to be the gray goat (6490240) but it showed up for a short amount of time and was removed. LEGO has given an official statement regarding the removal. Apparently, it was listed at the wrong price and all the orders that had the goat that whatever price it was listed at will be cancelled. In addition, they have stated that it will be returned to Pick a Brick some time tomorrow and you can purchase it at the correct price.
On July 1st, along with other novelty elements, we were excited to make available one of the greatest LEGO® elements of all time, the LEGO goat (6490240) through the online Pick a Brick service. Unfortunately, a pricing error was identified with a select number of new elements including the LEGO goat. Approximately 30 minutes after launch, these elements were temporarily removed to investigate. At this point, the cause for the error has been identified and corrected, and the gray LEGO goat will return to Pick a Brick on July 3rd.
In line with the terms and conditions of LEGO.com, all orders placed on July 1st, for the LEGO goat, have been or will be canceled.
German retail JB Spielwaren has revealed a “new” LEGO Technic set coming in August with the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (42184). The car isn’t new as there’s already one available on the LEGO Shop but that 42173 version is the dark gray version. The new white version also has 801 pieces and will probably cost the same at $49.99.
Update: It has been confirmed that the set will retail for $49.99 and will be released in August.
Amazon has started their early Prime Day deals and they have discounted the LEGO Technic NASA Mars Rover Perseverance (42158). The set is now listed at $79.99 which saves you $20 on it and is the first time it has been discounted on Amazon.

LEGO has officially revealed the LEGO BrickHeadz Batman 8-in-1 Figure (40748) which will be releasing on July 17. The set has 325 pieces and retail for $24.99. The set will have enough pieces to build eight different Batman figures which include Bronze Age Batman, Batman Classic TV series, Batman (1989), Batman: The Animated Series, Batman The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman v. Superman, The LEGO Batman Movie, and The Batman. Of course, if you want to build all eight Batman figures at the same time, you’ll need to purchase eight sets.
The LEGO Star Wars C-3PO (75398) buildable droid figure is now available for pre-order on the LEGO Shop. Releasing in August, the 1,138 piece set will retail for $139.99 and it features the original look of the droid from Star Wars: A New Hope. It does scale with the R2-D2 (75379) and the set includes the silver leg C-3PO minifigure originally from the soon to be retired Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder (75341).
