LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
At the end of last month, LEGO launched the LEGO Creator Fiat 500 (10271) which was pretty unexpected as the official announcement for it was earlier the same day. LEGO has had an affinity with European vehicles and the Fiat 500 is the latest addition to the lineup. The set has 960 pieces and retails for a modest $89.99. The content of the box include nine bags numbered to three, a bagged sunroof, and the instruction booklet along with the stickers.
The promotion for the LEGO Trains 40th Anniversary Set (40370) has been extended on Shop@Home. The original end date for the promo was today but it has now been changed to next Sunday, March 22. This gives you an extra week to get your orders in if you have been waiting until the last minute. You can check out my review of the set here and you also have a few days left to get in on my giveaway for it.
There are now rumored details of some of the characters for LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71028). Like with the previous series the minifigures are based on various versions of the characters from the whole Harry Potter franchise.
• Professor Pomona Sprout with mandrake
• Luna Lovegood with lion hat
• Professor Albus Dumbledore – Chamber of Secrets version with Fawkes
• Kingsley Shacklebolt
• Neville Longbottom with the Monster Book of Monsters
• Bellatrix Lestrange in prison outfit
• Harry Potter with Advanced Potion-Making
• Moaning Myrtle
• Griphook
There will 16 minifigures to collect for the Series 2 LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures so it’ll be interesting to see who else will be included in this wave. It is also reported that it will be available in September. As always, this is only a rumor until LEGO announces it so there’s a chance it could be a fake.
The Coronavirus pandemic has been causing a lot of short time issues around the world and the latest one is with LEGO Bricks & Pieces. A few days ago Danish authorities announced the closure of Denmark and that pretty much affected most of LEGO’s operations. With Bricks & Pieces, it affects the number of people who are picking the parts for the orders. To keep the workers safe, LEGO has decided to shut it down temporarily but everything else on LEGO Shop@Home is still normal. There’s no word on when it will be back up but I assume it’ll just go back up without any announcements so keep checking on it.
Due to COVID-19 we’ve had to introduce special measures at all our sites to reduce the risk of infection, including reducing the number of people who can work together at any one time to pick bricks for Bricks & Pieces. Buying bricks therefore isn’t available at the moment. This only applies to Bricks & Pieces – everything else is business as usual. We’ll have the service back up and running as soon as possible.
It looks like Walmart stores are getting a new LEGO Easter display with some new polybags. There are two LEGO City polybags which are the Police Car (30366) and Beach Buggy (30369) along with a LEGO Creator Cat (30574). All three polybags I believe are priced at $4.97 which is the new increased priced for 2020 polybags. Thanks to pnwlego for the heads up.
Amazon currently has the LEGO Classic Green Baseplate (10700) on sale for only $4.99 each. It is listed at 50% off on Amazon but Shop@Home has the listed price at $7.99 so that only makes it a 37% discount. Either way, getting a baseplate for this price is great especially if you’re needing a lot of them for a layout.
With everything that’s been going on in the world the past few days, it’s nice to fall back on something we enjoy which is LEGO and this week on LEGO Masters, the final six teams will compete in building bridges.
