Dutch online shop Brick Fever has revealed some official images of the 2018 LEGO TECHNIC Mack Anthem (42078). There’s no other details for the Mack Anthem but they do have it listed at €142.99. I’m not into Technic sets that much but I’m definitely put this one on my list.
We’ve already seen some other 2018 Technic sets already so I’ll add this set to that list. Thanks to Jeffrey for the heads up.

The LEGO VIP Brick/Black Friday promotion is now live on Shop@Home. There are a couple of offers going on this weekend including:
– FREE LEGO Seasonal Nutcracker (40254) with a purchse of $99 or more, while supplies last.
– Double VIP Points on all purchases
– FREE Shipping on all Shop@Home orders.
These offers will also be available for the general public next week from November 24-27. There’s also supposed to be the Canvas Tote Bag with purchases of $199 or more but it doesn’t show up. I’m not sure if that ones is only for next week. If you’re planning on making a purchase, I recommend doing so as I have a feeling that the Nutcracker build will be a hot commodity. One thing to note it that it won’t show up in the regular cart and you’ll have to click the checkout button to see it.
Update: I’ve been told that stores are giving out a Shopper Bag (5005325) with a $99 purchase. I’ve also heard that the Canvas Tote Bag was for in-store purchases but need confirmation.
Now that the Justice League in in theaters, LEGO has revealed some of the new LEGO BrickHeadz sets for the movie. The characters that will be available starting in January 2018 are: The Flash (41598), Wonder Woman (41599), Aquaman (41600), and Cyborg (41601).
A piece of sad news as our friends over at Fairy Bricks in the UK has reported that their van was broken into last night and a number of LEGO sets that were in the van for donations were stolen. It appears that were and probably have been targeted for a while as about 2,000 of the LEGO Seasonal 24-in-1 (40222) sets were stolen from their gated office area. The side door was pried open probably with a hydraulic tool. The set in question is from last year’s LEGO promotion which is shown below.
Most likely the people who stole the sets will be trying to get rid of them probably at a cheap price so if you see anything that’s out of the ordinary, please contact the Yorkshire Police via 101 quoting 13170537540.
This is a very unfortunate time because the holidays are just around the corner and many children will not be getting something that will make them a bit happier. If you’re not familiar with Fairy Bricks, they are an UK charity that provides LEGO sets to kids at local hospitals and hospices. You can help support Fairy Bricks by donating directly to them but more importantly, please share this post to help them find the perpetrator(s) behind this horrible event.
If you saw my post of some of the LEGO D2C sets that are rumored to be retiring this year, you would’ve seen that the LEGO Simpsons House (71006) was on the list. Walmart and Amazon currently has the set on sale for $159.88 which is the first and only time I’ve seen this set on sale. If you’ve been holding off on picking up this set, especially for the past three years since it’s been available, now is the perfect time to get it, maybe for a Christmas present? Anyways, get it while it while it’s still at 20% off the normal price of $199.99. Both Walmart and Amazon have free two day shipping.
