LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The LEGO Creator Winter Village Fire Station (10263) has just been released and LEGO was gracious enough to send over a review copy to see if it is a worthy enough set to add to your Winter Village. It has 1,166 pieces and retails for $99.99 which is a decent price for what you get. It has 10 total bags that are numbered from 1-3. The two instruction books are packaged along with a small sticker sheet.
Marvel just announced at New York Comic Con 2018, there will be a new animated LEGO special called LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom that will be airing next year. The synopsis of the animated special is:
Some of the voice actors that will be in the show include Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Ghost-Spider/Gwen Stacy, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane.
There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.
A few months ago, we got our first look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) promotional set and I’ve gotten reported details on how it will be available. My source has told me that it will be available starting on November 9 with purchases of $99 or more. It’s interesting that the promotion is not listed on the November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. There’s no mention on when the promotion will end but I assume it’ll be before the Black Friday promotions start unless LEGO is being generous and lets it run until the end of the month.
As for the set itself, it consists of mini buildings of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.
The last thing that we’ve heard about the LEGO BrickHeadz was that there will be a Simpsons two-pack featuring Homer and Krusty the Clown (41632). There are some rumblings that the LEGO BrickHeadz theme will be ending at the end of 2018. This was also corroborated with long-time reader Purple Dave who stated in another post which says a LEGOLAND Discovery Center cashier said the line will be ending. They also stated that the LEGOLAND vendor booth at Brickworld Michigan had all of the LEGO BrickHeadz sets on clearance including some of the ones that were just released a few days ago. All those signs point to the LEGO BrickHeadz theme could actually be ending but until we hear something official, we’ll just consider it as a rumor.
The current promotion on LEGO Shop@Home is for the LEGO Star Wars Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300) minifigure polybag with purchases of $35 or more on Star Wars products until October 14. It is the fourth minifigure in a series of LEGO Star Wars minifigures that have their own display stands joining R3-M2 (40268), Scarif Stormtrooper (40176), and DJ (40298). This latest minifigure depicts Han Solo as a Mudtrooper from Solo: A Star Wars Story which I’ll admit, I haven’t watched it yet.
The LEGO Star Wars Kessel Mine Worker (40299) minifigure polybag promotion is now also live online on Barnes & Noble. You can get it for free with a purchase of $29.95 or more, while supplies last. This is currently the last minifigure LEGO has released so far that connects together with their respective display stands. This promotion is also available in-stores and from what I’ve read, you can also purchase it individually for $5.99 each. The promotional event runs until October 15.
You can now pre-order the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) either at Amazon or LEGO Shop@Home. The set was just announced yesterday and the set has 1,060 pieces and retails for $129.99.
Amazon has the set listed for a November 26 release while Shop@Home says it will ship by December 1. Unless you have some gift cards or credit left over on Amazon, there is no discounts or promotions but it does have free Prime shipping. Over on Shop@Home, you can get free shipping as well as the Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300) minifigure polybag.
