LEGO Ideas Women of NASA December Release Date Revealed?

July 17, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in February, it was announced that the Women of NASA project was approved to be the next LEGO Ideas set and it looks like we may have a release date for it. During Japan Brickfest, there was a presentation from the LEGO Community Engagement Team and during the talk, some of the latest LEGO Ideas sets including the Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, and Women of NASA were shown off. It also showed the release dates of the sets and the Women of NASA is slated to be coming December 1.

Of course, anything can change and that date could be pushed back so until LEGO officially announces the set, I wouldn’t confirm it just yet. We’re also still waiting for the results of the Third 2016 Review Stage which should be announced any time now as they were close to wrapping it up in their last update.

LEGO The Big Bang Theory SDCC 2017 Exclusive WB Bag

July 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every year at San Diego Comic Con, there are exclusive collectible bags that Warner Bros. provides to attendees. The bags feature a property of WB and one of the more notable bags for this year is for The Big Bang Theory. As you can see above, the bag has an image of the box art for the LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory (21302) set from a few years ago. It’s not as flashy as some of the other SDCC 2017 WB bags but I’ll be trying my best to get this particular one.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Availability Update

July 12, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Even though the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) was just released last month, it has been out of stock pretty much since then and fans have been starting to worry if it would ever come back. There have been sightings of it at various LEGO Brand Stores, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart but that stock has been limited as well. So what’s the deal on it?

Last month, it was stated through an email from LEGO saying that the Saturn V would be in production through 2018 and we now have an official word from Hasan from LEGO Ideas. In his statement, he has stated

We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets

There was no doubt that the set would continued to be produced but some would rather wait for an official statement from LEGO. As Captain America says, be patient and keep checking in on it at LEGO Stores if you’re near one or on B&N and Walmart online. You can read the full statement below.

It has been over a month since the official launch of the LEGO® Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set and the overwhelming popularity of the iconic rocket has unfortunately meant that some LEGO fans have not yet been able to purchase their set or have had to wait longer than they had hoped.

Unfortunately, rumours and speculation have arisen concerning its availability, which we would like to shortly address.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) in Production Through 2018

June 9, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The new LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) is a very hot commodity at the moment and you’ll be lucky if you are able to find it available in stores. It’s so sought after at this time that LEGO Shop@Home has it out of stock for the time being with no estimated return date. Other retailers like Barnes and Noble may have it but your mileage may vary. Fans who are desperate for the set have resorted going to the secondary market however I would advise not going that route.

I believe LEGO has learned from the past in releasing limited sets, like the Research Institute (21110), especially for a theme like LEGO Ideas which has fans from all over, even those who are not traditional LEGO fans. In a recent post on Reddit, a user has gotten confirmation from LEGO that production of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) will continue production for at least through 2018. This isn’t shocking news but it does reassure people that there will be more of the sets coming.

The moral of the story is to be patient and don’t pay scalper prices for something that will be coming back in the near future.
