There’s only a few hours left to enter my contest for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Tree (40338) giveaway. This is a thank you for everyone who has supported the site whether it be by reading it or sharing it with others. I wish I could give one to everyone but alas, only one lucky winner will get it. In the package will also be one of my The brick Fan brick badges as well. The contest ends at midnight.
There will be a new LEGO Birthday Set (40382) releasing next week that will make a neat party gift. The set is an updated version of the LEGO Iconic Birthday Table Decoration (40153) with some slight differences. The minifigure included does not pop up from the inside and the numbers are stickers instead of being brick-built. The Birthday Set will have 141 pieces and retail for $12.99.
Wish the LEGO® fan in your life a very happy birthday with this LEGO Iconic Birthday Set (40382)!

Great for solo or group building, it’s a fun way to celebrate a special day!

Releasing in a few short weeks is one of the new 2020 LEGO BrickHeadz sets with the Wedding Bride (40383). It has 306 pieces and retails for $12.99. The contents of the box include four unnumbered bags and the instructions.
If you didn’t see the January 2020 LEGO Store Calendar, we will be getting another Chinese New Year set with the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355). You will be able to get it from January 13-26 with purchases of $80 or more which is a little bit lower than previous years’ threshold of $88.
Technically, this will be the seventh zodiac animal that has been released by LEGO but only the fourth that has been widely available on Shop@Home. The Snake, Sheep, and Monkey were previously Asia exclusives so hopefully LEGO will remake them for the mass market.

December 6 – January 31: Free LEGO Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi (30624) with Star Wars purchases of $40 or more, while supplies last.
