LEGO Brand Store (40305) Official Images
The official images of the upcoming LEGO Brand Store (40305) set are now up on LEGO’s servers. Here we can closely see some of the details of the set and as reported before, it doesn’t seem to be a promotional item but a normal set that can be purchased by itself. Currently it is available at LEGOLAND Billund so we can probably expect to see it at LEGOLAND California or LEGOLAND Florida and possibly LEGOLAND Discovery Centers soon. As for if it will be coming to LEGO Stores themselves or on [email protected], that is still up in the air but since it does show up on LEGO’s servers, there’s a good chance that it’ll be available on [email protected]
Thanks to Mikala for the heads up.
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.
