LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Ahead of the Series 3 pre-orders going up tomorrow, the fan vote for the BrickLink Designer Program Series 6 designs is now live. Like before, use the three emojis to vote for your favorite designs until October 18. After that, BrickLink will deliberate for a month and the final five designs will be announced on November 18.
Today is the last day to get your orders in for the LEGO BrickHeadz Fortnite Brite Bomber (40728). LEGO has made enough of it to reach the final day of the general public release. You can get it with purchases of $90 and it does double up with the Halloween Pumpkin (40697) promo when you hit $120. Who knows, if LEGO still has a lot of stock on it, they may bring it back at a future date.

Amazon current has a great deal on the LEGO Botanical Collection Dried Flower Centerpiece (10314) where you can save up to 44% on it. The set has already been discounted by 20% which drops the price down to $39.98 but there’s also a $11.99 coupon that you can apply during checkout. This effectively drops the price of the set down to only $27.99 for the 812 piece set. This easily make it the cheapest I’ve seen the set at.

Last night we reported that the LEGO Shop was hacked to promote a crypto scam and LEGO today has released a statement to Engadget about it. They did confirm that there was an unauthorized banner (shown above) and they have identified the cause of why it happened and are implementing measures to prevent it from happening again. Everything should be back to normal now and no user accounts were affected but I suggest changing your password anyways and using the two-factor authentication.
“On 5 October 2024 (October 4 evening in the US), an unauthorised banner briefly appeared on LEGO.com. It was quickly removed, and the issue has been resolved. No user accounts have been compromised, and customers can continue shopping as usual. The cause has been identified and we are implementing measures to prevent this from happening again.”
It looks like the LEGO Shop has been hacked and is hit with a crypto scam. If you are shopping, I would be very wary and keep a close eye on your bank accounts. The scam is in the banner when you hit the main page and it changes to the normal one with the Jabba’s Sail Barge a few seconds later.
If you happen to click on the links, it goes to a marketplace where they are selling “LEGO Tokens” with ETH. I would not buy or sell any of it as LEGO doesn’t do crypto. Thanks to ZTBricks for the heads up.
Update: It looks like the site has been fixed. Good on them to get it done quickly but we’ll see if there was any damage done.
