A new LEGO Up-Scaled Minifigure set has just released on the LEGO Shop and it is the first licensed one with the Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure (75461). It has 1,028 pieces and retails for $99.99.
This is very short notice as LEGO put this up late but there will be a Make & Take event today for a LEGO Duck. This is a miniature recreation of the iconic LEGO Wooden Duck toy from the 1930s. The event will be held tonight June 11, from 5pm-7pm and it is on a first come, first served basis so get there early if you can if you want this little freebie.
A second LEGO promotion has started with the free LEGO Technic Hot Rod Car (30735) with select products on the LEGO Shop. From now until June 18, you can get it with $40 purchases in City, LEGO Speed Champions, and/or Technic. This promotion is running concurrently with the LEGO Disney Classic Animation Scenes (40774) when you purchase $140 so you can basically get both. Both offers will run until June 18, while supplies last.

If you missed out on the announcement that the LEGO The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree (77092) sold out on the LEGO Shop, other retailers still has them in stock, but for how long. Both Target and Walmart currently has them available for shipping for $299.99. If you still are looking for it from LEGO, you can probably check your local LEGO Brand Store to see if they still have it in stock.

The LEGO The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree (77092) has officially sold out on the LEGO Shop which means it is now forever gone at retail price. It was on the LEGO Retiring Soon list for a good while and with the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Ocarina of Time today, fans flocked to get the remaining few that LEGO had.
The Great Deku Tree was orginally released in September 2024 and had a very decent run with original pre-orders selling out. Even with the higher price point, fans were still pretty positive on it. With that said, LEGO does also have a dedicated LEGO set for OoT with the Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093) which is still currently available.
San Diego Comic Con 2026 is about a month away and we’re 99.99% sure that LEGO will be there again for the annual event. It is one of their main summer showcase events where they’ll show off some new reveals as well as well as recently revealed sets. The floor layout hasn’t been announced yet but we can assume that they’ll be back at the usual Booth #2829, pretty much dead center of the Exhibit Hall.
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of booth they have planned this year. The past few years, they have really stepped it up with the presentation and feel of the booths. In 2023, they had the LEGO Brickbuster Video Booth which recreated the old Blockbuster stores. In 2024, it was the Space-themed one since that was the year that LEGO released a ton of space sets in various themes. And last year, they had a 200,000 piece, 8,000 minifigure recreation of the San Diego Convention Center which as unofficially announced as THe Best Booth at SDCC 2025.
We’ll of course be on hand to report on any LEGO panels that will be happening. Again, we can assume that the popular LEGO Ninjago panel will be one of them. We may again see some sort of LEGO Masters one since it was renewed for a sixth season but with Nick Cannon as the host.
As for the exclusive LEGO minifigure and set giveaways, LEGO has done away with them for years now and we probably won’t see them again but … Continue
