LEGO Walmart Exclusive Fast and Furious Set Coming 2025

December 13, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like we’ll be getting a Walmart exclusive LEGO set for The Fast and the Furious franchise next year. LEGO is still working with Tongal to produce some stop-motion videos. Although the details are confidential, it does say that the set will focus on a female character and features a fan favorite vehicle. LEGO is requesting two videos, one showing this new set and the other alongside the LEGO Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34). With the set having a female character, we can guess that it could be a representation of Letty Ortiz or just a generic female. If it is Letty, she has driven a number of cars throughout the franchise but the more memorable ones are the 1997 Nissan 240SX and 1993 Honda Civic EJ1 from the first movie. Another possibility could be Suki’s Honda S2000 from 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Just like that, the promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Picture Frame (40702) promotion is now live on the LEGO Shop. From now until December 24, you can get it with purchases of $70 or more, while supplies last. Also if you missed it earlier this year, LEGO has brought back the LEGO BrickHeadz Fortnite Brite Bomber (40728). This promo will run until December 19 with purchases of $90 in Animal Crossing, Despicable Me 4, Fortnite, Minecraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, and The Legend of Zelda. The two offers do combine although they won’t work on pre-orders anymore as LEGO has recently changed the rules on that.

Last Day for LEGO Seasonal Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene (40701) GWP – Sold Out in US

December 12, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is technically the last day for the LEGO Seasonal Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene (40701) promotion but if you’re shopping in the US, it has already sold out online. It must have sold out some time before last night because it was still available when I last checked on it. You can probably still find it in stores but call to double check. The next promotion coming up should be the Christmas Picture Frame (40702).

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Picture Frame (40702) GWP Revealed

December 11, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has officially revealed another upcoming gift with purchase set with the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Picture Frame (40702). The set has 209 pieces and features a buildable picture frame put your favorite memories inside. You can either rotate it vertically or horizontally, depending on the picture you use.

There’s no information yet on when it will be available or the price requirements at this time. I assume it’ll be available shortly after the Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene promotion is over.

Capture the magic of the holiday season with this LEGO® Christmas Picture Frame (40702) building set for girls and boys aged 8 and up. Kids will love creating this colorful frame, which can be displayed vertically or horizontally, before decorating it with festive details including Christmas bells, a tree, reindeer, snowman and a gingerbread house. They can then choose which beloved family photo to put inside before displaying it proudly on its own or as part of a LEGO holiday decor display.
