November 29, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

When LEGO revealed the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) last year, they also did a life-sized version of the vehicle. Starting next week, Southern California residents will be able to see it for a limited time at LEGOLAND California. They have announced that starting on December 5, the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron will be on display at The Big Shop. This car is a 1:1 replica of the world’s fastest car that is made entirely out of Technic bricks and is powered by Power Function motors.

For the past 8 years, fans have been able to enjoy some of memorable scenes from the Star Wars Saga which a scene from each of the seven Star Wars movies that are replicated in a 1:20 scale. The last day to see it will be on January 6, 2020 so as of this writing, you have 53 days left until it goes away forever. There’s no word at this time on what will be replacing LEGO Star Wars Miniland.

November 6, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It has been announced that a new LEGOLAND theme park will be built in the Jinshan District of Shanghai, China. After its completion in 2023, it will be the largest LEGOLAND park in the world and it will also include a themed hotel as well. It was previously reported earlier this year it would be opening in the Qingpu District but it looks like that has changed. LEGOLAND Shanghai will be the third LEGOLAND park to be opening in the next few years after LEGOLAND New York in 2020 and LEGOLAND Korea in 2022.

Merlin Entertainments (“Merlin” or “the Company”), a global leader in location based entertainment with brands including LEGOLAND®, Madame Tussauds and the Dungeons, today announces that it has entered into an agreement with the Shanghai Jinshan District Government, CMC Inc. and KIRKBI to develop a LEGOLAND® Resort in the Jinshan District of Shanghai, China.

Under the terms of the agreement, all parties will form a joint venture company and contribute funding to the construction and development of LEGOLAND® Shanghai. The total project investment is expected to be approximately £500 million. The schedule for the project is still to be determined, but the project is not expected to open until after 2023.

LEGOLAND® Shanghai will be one of the largest LEGOLAND® Resorts in the world and will incorporate a 250-room fully themed hotel on opening. It will be located in the Jinshan District in south west Shanghai with a two-hour catchment of 55 million people. The region comprising Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui has

Kirkbi A/S to Acquire Merlin Entertainments

June 28, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here’s a big piece of news that came in the middle of the night regarding LEGOLAND parks around the world. The LEGO Group’s parent company, Kirkbi A/S,, has announced that they have purchased Merlin Entertainments for £4.8bn. This means that LEGO will take control of LEGOLAND parks again after selling them to Merlin back in 2005. Reacquiring the parks allow LEGO to “grow all branded experiences across its Midway Attractions, LEGOLAND Parks and Resort Theme Parks.” I think this is a great move that LEGO will be running the show again at the parks and it’ll be interesting to see what will happen after the changes. Maybe we’ll finally be able to earn VIPs when shopping there.

June 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

For those who have been wondering if the exclusive LEGOLAND Park (40346) would be available at LEGOLAND Discovery Centers, I can confirm that they are being sold there as well. Thanks to Gordon who sent in an image from the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth. It is being sold there for $90 so it’s on par as far as pricing goes. I suggest calling your nearest Discovery Center before heading out as I can not confirm that all the Discovery Centers have them in stock.
