LEGO Brand Store (40305) Set Not a Promotional Set?
A few weeks ago, we got a look at the new LEGO Brand Store (40305) set and at first we thought it was going to be a part of an upcoming promotion but it looks like that won’t be the case. Zusammengebaut has reported that the set is actually being sold by itself at LEGOLAND Billund for 229.95 krones. We also get a look at the set stacked up and it looks like a decent sized set and is actually too big to be a promotional set. Hopefully we’ll get to see this set over here in the states in the next few months and I actually don’t mind it being a regular set.
LEGO Mosaic Maker Coming to the United States
The LEGO Mosaic Maker has been pretty popular in the UK, Europe, and more recently in Asia and now it will be making its way to the United States. If you’re not familiar with the Mosaic Maker, it’s basically a machine that captures an image of you and you’ll be able to get printed instructions and bricks for your LEGO portrait.
As usual with some of the bigger events, it will be held first at the flagship Flatiron District LEGO Brand Store in New York. They are holding a pre-booking event and you’ll need to claim your spot five weeks in advance. The cost for one of the sets is $129.99 per portrait and you’ll need to pre-pay the cashier before you get the LEGO Mosaic Maker Experience Card to use the machine.
Hopefully, the New York location opens it up more for other stores around the US to have their own machines as well.
Thanks to bcterps for the heads up.
New LEGO Brand Store (40305) Set Found
Our friends over at Promobricks has found images of a new LEGO Brand Store (40305) set that will supposedly be part of a promotion at LEGO Stores and on [email protected] As of right now, it probably won’t come to the US in June because it doesn’t show the item on the June 2018 store calendar. I’ll update as soon as there is more information about it.
LEGO Creative Storybook (40291) Closer Look
If you didn’t see it a few days ago, I posted about the June 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and the big promotion for the month is the LEGO Creative Storybook (40291). It will be free with a purchase of $99 or more from June 4-20, while supplies last, and it is basically in the style of a pop-up book based on Hans Christian Andersen and his fairy tale stories.
As I mentioned before, this promo set may be a teaser to a LEGO Ideas project that may turn out to become an official set later on but we’ll see. In the meantime, we can look forward to the Creative Storybook which shows a scene from The Ugly Duckling along with Andersen writing a story in an outdoor setting.
LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) Promotional Set Revealed
The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling.
There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on LEGO Ideas and this set could come out in conjunction with it as a gift-with-purchase set. This all depends on the Pop-Up Book coming out as the winner of the Third 2017 Review Stage but that announcement is still a long ways away. This is purely speculation by me but what are your guys’ thoughts about this little LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set?
