Designer James May Leaves The LEGO Group

LEGO designer, James May, has recently announced that he has left the company and is now pursuing a new venture. May has been designing or collaborated on a number of sets for quite a few years now but has now started up a new YouTube channel that you can check out. It’ll be a weekly show that takes a look at behind the scenes on what LEGO sets he has worked on, similar to a designer video but on a more personal level, as he states.

LEGO House Exclusive LEGO Building Systems (40505) Officially Announced

LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO House set that will be released which is the LEGO Building Systems (40505). The set pays tribute to different three LEGO building systems which include LEGO System, Technic, and DUPLO. Releasing tomorrow, the set has 1,211 pieces and retails for 699 DKK.

The main build features three models from each building system. First is the DUPLO train which is a mix of sets 2700 and 2705, the middle one features the Town Plan from 1955, and the last one is based on the 853 Car Chassis.

The back of the build also features 19 nano builds which include The Wooden Duck, DUPLO Building Set (511), Yellow Castle (375) Technic Space Shuttle (8480), and Bionicle Tahu and Takua (40581), just to name a few.

Since the LEGO Building System is a LEGO House exclusive, it’ll be fairly hard to get unless you get it from the secondary market or have connections to someone in Billund.

As of this post, there is just about five hours left to order and any sets that have not reached the maximum of 30,000 will be the “limited” ones for Series 1 as there will be less of those produced than the other ones. The General Store (910031) is about 80% sold out while the Parisian Street (910032) still looks to be about 55% sold. Production and shipping of the Series 1 sets will begin some time in July 2024. Series 2 pre-orders will begin on June 1.

LEGO Part of Walmart Collector Con 2024

Walmart will be holding their Collector Con event next month and it looks like LEGO will be part of the offerings. On March 14 & 15, Walmart will be dropping collectibles from various companies with sneak peeks starting on March 7. LEGO has been doing Collector Con for a few years with all the reveals being LEGO Star Wars sets so I wouldn’t be too surprised if it’ll be the same this year. I don’t think there will be any exclusives as all the previous sets have been available on the LEGO Shop.
