The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman & Tears of Batman (30607) Available Again Starting Black Friday

LEGO Black Friday 2017

I’ve already talked about some of the promotions that will be happening during Brick/Black Friday 2017 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. These promos include the free LEGO Seasonal Nutcracker (40254) with a purchase of $99 or more, a free Canvas Tote Bag with a purchase of $199 or more, and free shipping on all orders.

As you can see above, LEGO has added on another promotion starting on Black Friday which is a free The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman & Tears of Batman (30607) polybag with a purchase of The Joker Manor (70922). The promo will be at both LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home and will run until the end of the year, while supplies last. This is a nice addition if you were already planning on getting The Joker Manor and especially if you didn’t get a chance to get the polybag when it was first available earlier in the year.

Tiffany & Co. “Everyday Objects” Building Blocks

Tiffany & Co. is known for their high-end jewelry but today they’ve launched an “Everyday Objects” line that transforms everyday items into expensive objects. One of the more notable items are the $1500 Building Blocks that look like your favorite construction toys. The blocks are made out of sterling silver and American walnut and have various shapes like 2×2 and 2×3. One of the bricks that LEGO does not produce are 2x5s which this set has four of, one of which is complete sterling silver.

If money is no object then you may be interested in the Tiffany & Co. Everyday Objects Building Blocks. Of course, engraving is a little extra but since you’re already dropping $1500 on it, a little bit more is nothing. I can think of a number of LEGO sets that I can drop this amount of money on.

Registration for the 2018 LEGO Inside Tour has begun and it’s time to put your name on the list if you want to participate this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Unlike previous years, it doesn’t look like it’s a first-come, first-served but more of a waiting listing and LEGO choosing random people. The deadline to enter is Friday, November 10 at 10am CET.

There are five tours that are available and if it’s the same as before, about 80 or so attendees are chosen for each session. The dates that you can attend are:

What is LEGO Inside Tour?

LEGO Inside Tour provides a unique look into the LEGO Group often referred to as ‘a once–in-a-lifetime experience’. You are invited inside Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s original house, featuring an extraordinary exhibition of LEGO sets and models that date back to 1934. You will meet LEGO employees and especially LEGO designers, who will introduce you to their daily work at the LEGO Group, and you will take part in a unique building experience together with LEGO designers. Part of the LEGO Inside Tour consists of a factory tour, where you can see how LEGO bricks are produced. LEGO Inside Tour also stops at the LEGO staff shop.

At the end of the tour, you will receive a unique gift exclusively produced in close cooperation with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen especially for this year’s LEGO Inside Tour participants.

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Sets Showing Up at Target

There are now images of some LEGO Star Wars 2018 sets that have started appearing in stores here in the US. These sets were found at a Target in Texas and it’s kind of surprising that they are already being sold. The first set is a Sandspeeder (75204) which contains 278 pieces. It’s similar to the T-47 Snowspeeders but with slight changes including the color swap. The other set is a limited edition LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz featuring Rey & Kylo Ren (41489). This set is a Target exclusive that contains both BrickHeadz which you can also get individually as well.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it the past few days but I was waiting for confirmation.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934) Available at Target

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

We’re in the start of the second week of the Target promotions and this week, they have the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934) available. You can get for free with a LEGO purchase of $35 or you can buy it individually for $6.99 each.

What’s misleading about this set is that the tree itself is just the cardboard cutout while you get pieces for the star on the top and the present builds along with the two minifigures. There is no tree that is shown on the box which is a major bummer as it would’ve been very nice to get it. Even so, the set does make a somewhat decent stocking stuffer.

Stock at your nearest location may vary as some stores have already started selling them last week. If that’s the case, online is your best chance to get it.

LEGO Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar (75184) 20% Off on Amazon

It is currently at $31.99 which is 20% off the retail price of $39.99 and includes Prime shipping. This is probably the lowest price you’ll see this set at as last year’s set didn’t dip below $31.95 from Amazon.

Open a door of this super-fun advent calendar each day in December to discover a LEGO® Star Wars themed minifigure, starship, vehicle or other collectible. There’s even a foldout playmat featuring images from Jakku, Starkiller Base and deep space for epic Star Wars encounters.
