LEGO March 2024 Shopping Guide

February 23, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

March is just around the corner and it will be a pretty big month in terms of LEGO releases as it is the third largest of the year. As of right now, there are about 50 new items on the LEGO Shop that will be available from pretty much a majority of the LEGO themes including the highly anticipated Animal Crossing.

As for any gift with purchase sets go, LEGO hasn’t officially announced anything yet although we’ve seen plenty of GWP items such as the Flower Shop (40680) and the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) although they haven’t said when they will be released. We’ll just have to wait until the end of this month to see what will be dropping overseas first to see what we’ll be getting.

Bricks by the Bay LEGO Convention Indefinitely Cancelled

February 23, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Since I returned to the hobby over a decade ago, Bricks by the Bay has been hosting their annual LEGO conventions and have been doing so until last year where it was cancelled due to reasons unknown and was looking forward to holding one this year. They have recently announced that Bricks by the Bay has been cancelled again for 2024 and will be on indefinite hiatus. Again there was so more information besides that but will update when they decide to return in the future.

Dear Bricks by the Bay Builders, Vendors and Visitors,

There will not be a Bricks by the Bay in 2024, and the convention is on indefinite hiatus. If and when the convention resumes, we will send out an update at that time.

Thank you kindly for all the wonderful times! We hope to see you in the future!

Sincerely,
The Bricks by the Bay Board of Directors
