LEGO has officially revealed their new LEGO Icons set with the Concorde (10318). Releasing on September 4 for VIPs, the set has 2,083 pieces and will retail for $199.99.

Billund – August 10th 2023: The LEGO Group today unveils a set that is sure to reach new heights – the LEGO® Concorde Set.

Built in the 1960s as part of a joint venture between the United Kingdom and France, the Concorde was the first supersonic passenger carrying commercial aircraft. This 2083-piece set is an accurate scale model of the airplane, that can be showcased in the home using the display stand, allowing the possibility to pose the brick-plane either in flight mode or tilted mode for take-off and landing.

The set is also rich in detail, with a removable roof to show off the opulent cabin interior, landing gear, as well as the nose and visor tilts.

LEGO Houses of the World 3 (40594) Official Images

August 5, 2023 /

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 /

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

July 24, 2023 /

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.

LEGO SDCC 2023

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

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 /

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.

LEGO x Project K Building India Together Panel at SDCC 2023

July 15, 2023 /

At San Diego Comic Con 2023, there will be a Hall H panel for Project K which is India’s first Mytho-Sci-fi narrative. At first look, it doesn’t really involve LEGO but in one of our press emails, there will be a LEGO collaboration with Project K. I’m not sure how it will all fit in as the description is still pretty vague but I’m very interested to see what it is about. Project K will be the first Indian movie to be featured at Hall H at SDCC and it’ll be on Thursday, July 20 at 1pm.

Recognizing LEGO’s extraordinary creativity and ability to inspire, we see a remarkable opportunity for collaboration.

Most Indian children did not grow up with LEGO in the 90s and 2000s however as adults, they view LEGO with the sight of missed nostalgia.

Collaborating with Project K opens up the path for LEGO to enter the homes of Indian children and youth who wish to experience the joy of building and the pride of creation.

Integrating Indian cultural elements into LEGO sets and characters would offer a fresh experience for billions around the world and would open doors to a new era of imaginative play and cross-cultural appreciation.

LEGO: I Had a DREAMZzz Last Night About Ninjago! Panel at SDCC 2023

July 6, 2023 /

The Thursday panel schedule for San Diego Comic Con 2023 is now live and there will be one for LEGO which is the LEGO: I Had a DREAMZzz Last Night About Ninjago! As expected, LEGO will be showcasing their newest IP, LEGO DREAMZzz, which includes some of the voice actors for the show. In addition, LEGO Ninjago will be there as well for Ninjago: Dragons Rising so instead of it having a dedicated panel like with previous years, it’ll be a combined one so there won’t be that much time to go in depth since probably each show will only get about 20 minutes of details with some time left over for the Q&A.

The panel will be held on Thursday, July 20 from 10:30-11:30am in Room 6BCF. Of course, I will be in attendance I’ll most likely be doing the live post as I have done in previous years. You can follow me on Twitter or on Threads for that. Hopefully, I have time to juggle between the two.

Learn all about LEGO DreamZzz, a new content IP that launched in May. The panel will be hosted by Keith Malone (head of entertainment development for the LEGO Group) along with voice talent Sarah Jeffery (Zoey), Marcos Cardenas (Mateo), Vincent Tong (Logan, Kai), Brian Drummond (Mr. Oz, Nightmare King, Ras, Riyu, Lobbo), and Larissa Dias (Izzie), as well as DreamZzz LEGO model designer Freddy Charters, head of LEGO production Asa Tait, and Doc Wyatt and Kevin Burke, head writers of Ninjago Dragons Rising.

Fans will be able to order digital building instructions and choose to have loose elements fulfilled by either BrickLink Marketplace sellers or LEGO Pick a Brick for a limited time.

LEGO Not Part of San Diego Comic Con 2023 Exclusives Portal (For Now?)

July 3, 2023 /

The San Diego Comic Con 2023 exclusives portal is now live and it doesn’t look like LEGO will have any exclusives for sale this year. We’re still a few weeks away from the event and there’s still time for companies to add themselves to the list since we have until July 16 to submit our entries but so far, it’s not looking promising. There’s a chance that they could do something directly at their booth but that would be a mess and I can already hear the security say “you can’t stand here, keep moving.”

The last time that LEGO did any exclusives was back in 2019 before the pandemic closed everything down the year after. Back then, they had a few exclusives that lucky fans were able to purchase as well as minifigures that were given away at random. LEGO did sell their exclusives online in 2020 at various retailers and they went rather quickly with some of them managing to restock a few times. Other than that, it’s been quiet the past few years and it looks to be the same this year. Again, I’ve heard that they were done with exclusives altogether because of the reselling that people do during the con and they weren’t happy with that but that’s just a rumor that was relayed to me a few times.

LEGO Disney 100 Years Celebration (40600) Sold Out Online – North America

July 2, 2023 /

In less than a day, the LEGO Disney 100 Years Celebration (40600) gift with purchase set has sold out on the LEGO Shop here in North America. In fact, it lasted less than 12 hours after it went live 24 hours ago. I’m also hearing that LEGO Stores didn’t get much in stock either so that makes the set rather rare. As a result, the price of the set on the secondary market is starting to slowly reflect that as prices are heading up to $70 on it.

It’s not really that surprising since LEGO released two new popular Disney sets that qualified for it including the Disney Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage (21341) and the Disney Castle (43222) with the former already in backorder status shipping in 60 days. We’re not sure if LEGO has more of the Disney 100 Years Celebration for a future release since they tend to re-release them again months later.

LEGO Confirmed for Exhibit Floor at San Diego Comic Con 2023

June 29, 2023 /

The Exhibit Floor layout has been released for San Diego Comic Con 2023 and we can confirm that LEGO will be on display once again. They’ll be at their usual spot at Booth #2829 although we don’t know yet what will be on display there. If I had to make a guess, I would think there will be something involving LEGO DREAMZzz since it’s their newest IP.

In addition, we’re not sure if there will be any exclusive LEGO sets or minifigures that will be given away like with previous years. If you remember, LEGO didn’t have anything last year besides some panels and I’ve heard rumors that they were done with exclusives so we’ll see since companies have been starting to ramp up their reveals as we speak.

I will be there once as press so I’ll be attending most, if not all, the LEGO panels and will be reporting on them as they go on. Many readers seem to like the live tweeting of them, especially the Ninjago panels so follow me on Twitter if you haven’t yet.

LEGO Super Mario Theme Retiring in 2024?

May 12, 2023 /

There are new reports that the LEGO Super Mario theme could be retiring by summer 2024. The Adventures with Mario (71360), Adventures with Luigi (71387), and Adventures with Peach (71403) Starter Courses were supposed to be produced until July 2026 but it looks like that date has been pushed up to July 2024. This piece of news is interesting as the new LEGO Donkey Kong were just announced and won’t be available until August. This means the sets will only be available for about a year or so while the existing sets will be done by July 2024.

There’s no reasoning on why the End-of-Life date was pushed up but it’s easy to assume that the LEGO Super Mario sets don’t do as as LEGO had expected them to do. It seems the sets are always on constant sales on Amazon to get rid of inventory.

Fans of Super Mario were hoping to have minifigure scale sets but that didn’t happen, most likely because Nintendo makes the call on what they want produced. In addition, LEGO really dropped the ball on any sets based on The Super Mario Bros. Movie which became the highest grossing film based on a video game.

LEGO VIP Pilot Program at LEGOLAND Discovery Center New Jersey

May 6, 2023 /

Before if you went to a LEGOLAND Discovery Center to shop for LEGO, you wouldn’t earn any VIP points which confused a lot of fans since it’s LEGO. This was because Discovery Centers was owned by Merlin Entertainments before 2019 and not The LEGO Group themselves but times are changing as LEGO has announced a pilot program to have the VIP program at a particular Discovery Center.

The American Dream LEGOLAND Discovery Center in New Jersey will be the lucky store to test out this new system. There’s no word on how long it will go for or if any other stores will get the same treatment later on. If we look at previous pilot programs LEGO has done in the past, they eventually will roll it out but it usually takes months for them to do it.

We are excited to announce that the LEGO® VIP Program is now live in the American Dream LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop, New Jersey, as part of a new pilot initiative.

The pilot will allow LEGO® fans to access the VIP program, and give the opportunity to sign-up, and earn & redeem LEGO® VIP points.

Initially the pilot will only be available in the LEGOLAND® Discovery Center shop in New Jersey, located in American Dream, and not in other LEGOLAND Discovery Center or LEGOLAND Park shops.

We are really excited to offer the LEGO® VIP program to all shoppers visiting the American Dream mall and hope to welcome many of you there!

LEGO Releases The Majestic Horse (010423) to Select RLFM for April Fool’s Day 2023

April 2, 2023 /

Yesterday, LEGO technically released an April Fool’s Day set to select Recognized LEGO Fan Media outlets with The Majestic Horse (010423). The set has 375 pieces and looking at the box, it may seem that it is just a galloping horse but when you finally build it, it is not what you would expect. Instead of a horse head, they were tricked into building a doge head instead. If you’re not familiar with the doge, it’s an iconic Internet meme of Kabosu, the Shiba Inu. The “horse” also is wearing Sonic red shoes instead of having horseshoes.

Unfortunately, there was only about roughly 10 set total sets made so you most likely won’t be able to get one. I’m not sure if the select RLFM are allowed to share the instructions for it but we’ll see. It’s all in fun and this is probably the best April Fool’s Day joke that LEGO has done. We’ll see how they top it next year. GGs LEGO.

In addition to the three products that have already launched (77012, 77013, 77015) that feature some of the most iconic scenes from the Indiana Jones franchise, there is another set that will be releasing in June 2023 and it will be based on the iconic scene from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Coming in at 2,008 pieces, the 18+ Temple of the Crystal Skull will will feature scenes from the climax of the movie at the alien temple in the Amazon jungle including the rotating chamber with 13 alien skeletons. This LEGO Indiana Jones memorabilia model comes with 5 minifigures – Indiana Jones, Irina Spalko, Marion Ravenwood, Harold Oxley, and Mutt Williams.

We hope our fans will love the new set and can’t wait to get their hands on it. Unfortunately, we don’t have any images of the set yet but they will be coming soon™.
