LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine (21358) Minifigure Details

The new LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine (21358) was revealed yesterday and we have some additional information about the 16 minifigures that are included in the set. Each of them has their own unique story and they’re pretty interesting because some of them reference characters from classic themes like Space, Fabuland, Castle, Pirates, and Paradisa.

The two most normal looking ones are the ones for the LEGO Ideas designer with a cool printed logo torso and one for Rob the fan designer of the set.

Some new factions for the Castle theme were revealed with the Griffin Knights and the Kraken Warriors.

Paradisa makes a surprising return with the Beach Bro and the Beach Bae who are both rocking Paradisa summer tops with 92 on the back which references 1992, the first year of the theme.

The Classic Space theme gets in on the fun as they are now in pearl-gold as well as teal colors.

Fabuland also gets referenced as there are costume characters for Elton Elephant and Bernard Bear, both also having printed Fabuland torsos.

Lastly we have the Pirates theme which has grown-up versions of Bo’sun Will and Camilla which are characters from the LEGO Pirates Comic (6255).

LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) GWP Sold Out for General Release?

Today was supposed to be the general release of the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop but it looks like that won’t be happening, at least in the US. Unless there’s some sort of delay on the LEGO Shop, it appears that the set has been sold out since it doesn’t even show up in the cart even after adding the required $200 to get it. Once big clue was that it wasn’t available yesterday when the promotional period for LEGO Insiders was still going. LEGO Brand Stores could still have them in stock so I recommend calling them to check.

If you’re not a LEGO Insider, I highly suggest signing up for this free program as you can earn points towards discounts and other LEGO items that are exclusive to it.
