Last year, LEGO released the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) which was a large scale model of the character and it turned out to be a pretty successful set. It looks like LEGO will continue with that trend of producing larger scale builds and Brickshop.nl has confirmed that there will be a Porg (75230) coming out later this year. Consisting of 811 pieces and retailing for €79.99, LEGO is hoping the adorable furry creature will bring them the same success as it did with BB-8.

The official Twitter accounts for both James Bond and Aston Martin has released more teasers of the mysterious set that they are working with LEGO on. It’s still unsure what they are working on but the most likely guess is the famous Aston Martin DB5 from James Bond which could also include an ejector seat. Stay tuned as there will be more teaser up until the official announcement for the set.

LEGO has revealed another LEGO BrickHeadz set with the Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War Rocket and Groot (41626). The set is part of a slew of upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz sets that will be released in the next few months. There’s no word on pricing but I assume it will be $19.99 like with the other two packs.
About a week ago, it was reported that the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) direct-to-consumer set would be a microscale set. There was no other information about it but a source emailed in and informed me about a little detail about the set, more specifically, the piece count. I’ve been told that it would be roughly around 6,000 pieces which is a lot larger than I expected. Keep in mind that this information is unconfirmed and should be considered a rumor until it is officially announced by LEGO.
If you’re a LEGO VIP member, you’ve probably gotten an email notifying you that there will be a special limited time Double VIP Point promotion coming at the end of June to early July. From June 30-July 7, you can earn double points with your purchases from LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. This special promo also coincides with the LEGO Beach Tote promo so there’s even more of an incentive to make your purchases then.
A few days, I reported that the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets were confirmed for a July 1 release but I want to make a clarification about it. From what I know from my sources, Target wanted to have a month early retailer exclusivity for the sets, hence why they’re up on their website already. This meant that LEGO themselves will also release them early as well. Other retailers like Walmart and Amazon will release them at the normal date of August 1. Note that this all applies to the US however I do know that the UK has the sets available already at certain locations. Thanks to my source for the heads up.
The International Space Station by XCLD is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is actually the second time XCLD reached the required amount of supporters for the International Space Station, albeit a different version. The first one hit 10k back in 2015. This updated version consists of about 850 pieces (station: 650, shuttle: 50, support: 150) and is in scale with the Space Shuttle from the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312). The model features two Soyuz capsules and two progress capsules. It now joins the SpaceX Falcon Heavy as the projects to reach the Second 2018 Review Stage.
