September 4, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The NASA Saturn-V Launch Umbilical Tower by whatsuptoday is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Continuing on the Space project hype, it is supposed to be an add-on to the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) consisting of about 2,998 pieces.

It now joins Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner, Wonders of Peru, NF-15B Research Aircraft, I Am Your Father, and NASA Space Shuttle as the projects to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Not Being Retired Soon

August 31, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we all know by now, the availability of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) has been sporadic since its release since June. We’ve seen spurts of it going back on Shop@Home and on Amazon then going temporarily out of stock again shortly after. Back in July, there was an update saying that production would run through 2018 so we shouldn’t worry that much.

A month goes by and there’s now a new rumor going around that it has been retired from production. Hasan Jensen from the LEGO Ideas team, this time on the LEGO Ambassador Network, has reiterated that,

The LEGO Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set has NOT been retired and will not be retiring anytime soon either, as we wish to offer the chance for many more fans to get the opportunity to purchase a copy of the set.

This is another reassurance for fans who still want to pick up the set and just be patient on it as I’m sure LEGO is frantically trying to produce more as we speak. I feel that LEGO has learned its lesson on producing limited quantity sets such as the NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) and the Research Institute (21110) as this set is equally, if not more, popular than the previous ones. You can check out Hasan’s full statement below and I’ll update if the Saturn V is back in stock, even for a short time.

It has come to our attention that rumours have again surfaced claiming that

LEGO Ideas NASA Space Shuttle Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 28, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The NASA Space Shuttle (Saturn V Scale) by KingsKnight is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Continuing with the hype of space type projects on LEGO Ideas, the project is a representation of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. It proposed the shuttle itself along with the rocket boosters and the external tank which are both removable. It also has the robotic arm that comes out of the shuttle as well. The set is built to the same scale as the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309).

The NASA Space Shuttle now joins Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner, Wonders of Peru, NF-15B Research Aircraft, and I Am Your Father as the projects to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) Review

August 16, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Old Fishing Store project by Robert “RobenAnne” Bontenbal was listed on LEGO Ideas on December 8, 2015 and it only took 44 days for it to achieve 10,000 supporters. Ten months after that, it was announced that it will become an official set which was revealed only a few months ago. It has then evolved to the largest LEGO Ideas set (21310) coming in at 2,049 pieces and will retail for $149.99. The scheduled release date for it will be September 1 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Available on Amazon

August 16, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve been waiting for the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309), Amazon has some available for purchase. The only weird thing is that it’s available at normal price of $119.99 with Frustration-Free Packaging. Don’t know how that would work since it’s just a box but there you go. Not sure how many are in-stock but Shop@Home has been out of stock for a while so this is your best chance to get one. Go, go, go!

LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) Available at LEGOLAND California

August 15, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you can’t wait for the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) to become available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, you may want to head on over to LEGOLAND California if you live close to it. I’ve been told that they have it for sale early at The Big Store. It’ll officially be released on September 1 and there are some The LEGO Ninjago Movie promos but there’s also a chance that it’ll sell out very quickly so you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons of getting it at LEGOLAND.

Thanks to Charlie for the heads up.
