LEGO Brick Clog (5010203) Now Available on LEGO Shop

If you’re actually interested in the LEGO Brick Clog (5010203), they are now available on the LEGO Shop. They retail for $149.99 and surprisingly, some of the sizes are already out of stock.

The Clog is part of a multi-year partnership with Crocs and is the first drop of 2026. For me, they’re more of a novelty item and I probably won’t be getting them.
