An Australian LEGO Certified Store has revealed a new LEGO Technic set with the Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica Orange (42196). If you think you’ve seen it before, that’s because you have since it is basically a recolor of the original set which came in lime green. The 806 piece count is still the same and I’ll assume the price of $49.99 will be the same as well when it releases in April.
An Australian LEGO Certified Store has revealed a new LEGO City Space set that will be releasing on April 1 with the Space Science Lab (60439). The set contains 560 pieces and it features a domed lab that opens up to reveal a botanical tower of alien plants. It can also connect with the Space Base and Rocket Launchpad (60434) to make it extend the base.
Fans of science and space exploration aged 6 and up will love this LEGO® City Space Science Lab toy playset (60439). Fold out the domed laboratory to unveil a series of rooms, including a botanical tower of alien plants, a control room with 2 workstations, a sleeping quarters and a kitchen with juice and water dispensers. The set also includes a planet exploration vehicle with wheelchair access, a food-delivery drone, 2 space crew minifigures and an alien figure for futuristic play.

LEGO will be collaborating with Target to release this set in the near future but will also be available on the LEGO Shop as well.
Medieval Bee Farm by J.K.Brick is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,994 piece build features a bee farm but in a medieval setting and it uses some interesting building techniques.
The project joins Spirited Away, Appa the Sky Bison, from Avatar the Last Airbender, Venus Flytrap, Minerals Display, Dreamworks’ Shrek’s Swamp 2, Hello Kitty and Friends – 50 Years, Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch, Medieval Tournament, Among Us: The Skeld, Cherry Blossom Ikebana, Roman Forum, The Wizard of Oz 85th Film Anniversary, Interstellar, Working Suspension Railway, Metallica M72 World Tour, Suitcase Express!, Outer Wilds, Medieval Inn by the Gatehouse, Clockwork Solar System, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, My Neighbor Totoro, and Tower Chess as the ones to reach the First 2024 Review Stage.
In less than 12 hours, it looks like the LEGO Shop has sold out of the LEGO Flower Store (40680) promotion. The gift with purchase item was supposed to last until March 11 but even with a $200 price requirement, it sold out faster than I expected as it does not show up in the cart.
The best chance to get it now is at a LEGO Brand Store if you have one nearby or if you’re really desperate, the secondary market but I would hold off for a few weeks so the prices come down. It seems that the bigger promos are now selling out way faster so if you see something you want at new launches, I would not hesitate to buy it (if funds are available).
There is still the LEGO Friends Beach Clean-up (30635) + LEGO Animal Crossing Maple’s Pumpkin Garden (30662) polybag bundle with purchases of $50 in Animal Crossing, City, Creator 3-in-1, DREAMZzz, or Friends which also runs until March 11.
