Yesterday, LEGO officially announced the LEGO Technic Ultimate McLaren P1 (42172) which will be coming in August and they have also revealed the P1 Logo (5008946) gift with purchase set for it. For a limited time when you purchase the McLaren, you can get the logo set for free. Since it comes in the yellow box packaging, it will be extremely limited so get your purchases in early if you want the freebie.
LEGO has revealed yet another LEGO Technic set and this time it is the Mercedes-Benz G 500 PROFESSIONAL Line (42177). Releasing on August 1, the G Wagon has 2,891 pieces and retails for $249.99 but you can pre-order it today on the LEGO Shop.
Amazon has another pretty good deal going on for the LEGO Architecture Taj Mahal (21056) where you can save $30 on it. The 2,022 piece set is listed at $119.99 but there’s a $30 coupon that you can apply and that’ll drop the price down to $89.99 which will make it the lowest price ever on the site.

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.
