LEGO x Lofi Girl Collaboration Coming Soon

In one of the more interesting collaborations in recent times, LEGO looks to be having an upcoming partnership with Lofi Girl very soon. Formerly known as ChilledCow, Lofi Girl is a YouTube channel that provides livestreams of lo-fi hip hop music and usually has the iconic girl in the green sweater studying or relaxing.

In the video clip shown on their social media channels, the girl is just studying and suddenly her pen turns into building bricks. While looking at her hands, they also turn into minifigure hands and more bricks fall out. Seemingly confused, the screen turns black with a date of September 19. If it’s really a LEGO collab, we’ll see what happens next Tuesday.

One thing to note is that LEGO already had a subtle nod to Lofi Girl back in 2021 with the LEGO Monkie Kid Spider Queen’s Arachnoid Bases (80022). As you can see below, the set had a sticker showing her on the screen as an Easter egg.

LEGO Marvel Studios Series 2 Collectible Minifigures (71039) Already Being Stolen in Stores

September 2, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Only a day after its official release, fans are already finding open boxes of the Series 2 LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures (71039). As you can see in the image, this was found at a Walmart with at least 20 of the blind boxes opened up. It was noted by the OP that a lot of pieces were missing from them as well.

We already knew going in that this was a very bad idea even though to LEGO, it was more environmentally friendly for them and the consumer. I guess we’ll start seeing retailers putting them in security cases or behind the counters to deter thieves. This has turned out to be more of a headache for fans as compared to the bagged ones.

If you want to collect the set, I suggest just going to the secondary market. You may pay a little bit more than if you would buying them at retail but you don’t have to worry about getting doubles or even finding them at all because of issues like this. Hopefully LEGO sees the issue and complaints from fans and retailers to know that this wasn’t going to end well.

What LEGO Disney Mini Sets You Want to See in the Future?

September 2, 2023 / / 0 Comments

The last couple of years, LEGO has released some smaller LEGO Disney sets based on iconic locations in their history such as the Mini Disney Castle (40478) and the Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion (40521). That theme will be continuing this year as yesterday they revealed the Mini Disney Palace of Agrabah (40613) which will be releasing in October. It’s a similar style to the previous two sets but it will not include a minifigure which is the most glaring omission.

Nevertheless, it’s another location from a Disney IP and that makes me wonder what we could be seeing in the future if they do decide to continue this line. There’s almost an unlimited number of locales that LEGO could use from their vast range of IPs. Even just at the Disney parks, there’s a bunch of rides that could be made like Space Mountain, the Monorail, and the Dumbo Flying Elephant. If you’re a fan of these sets, what do you want to see LEGO make in the future if they do decide to continue the line?

Possible Way of Figuring Out LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71039) Characters

August 12, 2023 / / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71039) officially comes out in a few weeks and the most glaring issue with them is that they are packaged in boxes. This means that you won’t be able to feel out the characters like we’ve been doing so for years. In addition, the layouts of full boxes look to be all random so listing them on how they are set won’t help that much.

Luckily, LEGO has provided some clues on the boxes themselves. Underneath the box is your standard UPC code and next to it is a stamp with some random numbers. This is the secret to finding the ones you want.

Each character has their unique five digit stamp along with the serial number run below it. Even though some of the characters have the same top number, the bottom numbers are substantially far from the other one.

I’ve verified this with the box that LEGO sent over for review and the individual characters have their own run of numbers. Unless LEGO made a limited number of the set, the numbers could change later on so I can’t guarantee that they will have the same serial number run with future productions.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) Official Images

August 5, 2023 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has finally put up the product page for the upcoming Houses of the World 3 (40594) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop which means that the promotion should be coming soon. The product description does confirm that the set is based on a house from Switzerland as said in our early review.

The promotion period is still unknown at this time as well as the purchase threshold but we can assume it’ll be $250 as the previous two sets in the series were at that price.

Recreate the distinctive architecture of Switzerland as you build the third in a collection of LEGO® Houses of the World. This set (40594) is inspired by the traditional buildings of Switzerland and combines a variety of color schemes with distinctive architectural design. The theme continues with Swiss interior decor. The modular design means this house can be combined with others from the collection (40583, 40590 and 40599) – each sold separately.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) Review

July 29, 2023 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The release date of the LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) is still a mystery but we have an early copy of the set to check out. The set looks to be at a European location this time.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The build is split into two bags and also has a small sticker sheet for the wooden panels.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The house has a 12×10 footprint and sits on two stories. On the lower level, your eyes goes straight to the logs that are stacked up on the right side. The log tiles are actually printed pieces which is nice since you don’t want to put on stickers for all of them. The adjacent wall has a stack of logs along with an ax.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

Next to the door is a barrel filled with tools as well as a bench. The wall next to that has a pillar along with some shutters next to the window.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

Going up, the balcony has some flowers to give it some color contrast.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The upper floor doesn’t have that much besides more windows and shutters.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594)

The inside of the house has a lot more going on. The living room has a sectional sofa with a log table in the middle of the room. There’s also a fireplace, a record player, and a painting in the area. On the opposite end, there’s a table with some cheese and chocolate which may suggest that the house is located in Switzerland.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2023 Recap

LEGO SDCC 2023

Just like that, San Diego Comic Con 2023 is now over but here’s a recap of the LEGO happenings during the four days. First off is the LEGO booth itself which they have named it LEGO Brickbuster Video. This is a play on the old Blockbuster Video stores. Throughout the store, there were displays of upcoming LEGO sets from various themes. On the shelves were VHS cassette cases featuring movies and themes in LEGO form.

The back wall named New Releases was filled with creations from fans. Some of the themes for the builds were unplanned and spontaneous such as the Spongebob ones and Pikachu ones. I was told that fans took inspiration from the builds that were already on the shelves and they made their own version.

LEGO SDCC 2023

LEGO SDCC 2023

There were also brick-build statues that fans could take pictures with. The builds were made to look like the old 2D cardboard cutouts that you could find at Blockbuster stores. Fans could take pictures with them and share to social media to get corresponding pins of them. The ones for this year were Captain America, Sonic the Hedgehog, and a speeder bike from Star Wars.

LEGO SDCC 2023

There was a Coming Attractions billboard showing some of the current and upcoming LEGO shows and specials. Some of the new shows coming soon include LEGO Masters: Holiday Bricktacular, LEGO Marvel Avengers: Code Red, LEGO Star Wars: Mandoween – Celebrate the Season, LEGO Masters: Season 4, LEGO Disney Princess: The Castle Quest, and one confidential show that they never revealed.

LEGO Masters Season 4 Trailer – Winning Build Becomes Official Set

July 23, 2023 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Masters panel happened a few days ago and yesterday they dropped the official trailer for season 4. Will Arnett is back as host and Jamie Berard and Amy Corbett will again be the judges. In addition to winning $100,000 and the title of LEGO Masters, for the first time ever, the winning build will become an official LEGO set.

Hopefully, the set is a smaller rendition of the winning build because we all know that the final challenge is an over-the-top one and would probably be the most pricey set ever.

I will recap the LEGO Masters panel from San Diego Comic Con 2023 in the next few days after I recover a bit.

So far, none have surfaced yet on the secondary market but do expect it to be a bit pricey when it does. There’s also a small chance that this is just a pre-release figure and will be in sets in the future like with the Bard from The Hobbit many years back.
