If you didn’t see my updated post earlier on social media, more Winter 2017 LEGO Star Wars sets have been revealed on Brickset. One of these sets includes The Phantom from the Rebels series which includes the Grand Admiral Thrawn minifigure.

You may have probably seen on the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar that LEGO VIP members will have early access to Brick Friday offers as well as double VIP points. I can now confirm from my contact that the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) will be available starting tomorrow with purchases of $99 or more for both in stores and on Shop@Home. If you’re shopping online, there will also be free shipping on all orders. This early promotion will be available on November 19-20 for VIPs and will be available to the general public from November 25-28.
There will be no sales for this week, as far as I know, but I will assume there will be some next week during Brick Friday like with previous years and I’m waiting to hear back with those details.
Update: The offers are now live on Shop@Home.
More official images are continuing to be revealed as Brickset has posted three of the newly rebranded LEGO Disney theme sets. If you remember from last month, we had our first look at the Disney sets with Moana’s Ocean Voyage (41150) based on the upcoming movie.
For two of the sets, it looks like they’ll be featuring some of the Disney Palace Pets. The other set that was revealed was a new castle for Elsa from Frozen.
The official images for the Winter 2017 wave of LEGO Elves sets are now available courtesy of Brickset. The subtheme will be focused on Goblins this time around. There are no box art images yet but I’ll add them to this post when they are available.
The Wave 7 LEGO Dimensions expansion packs are now available for purchase on Amazon. The only pack not listed on Amazon is the Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285) which is a Toys R Us exclusive pack.

Earlier today on the other side of the pond, the new LEGO flagship store at Leicester Square opened up and members of the LEGO community were there to attend the pre-opening event. You can read up about the store over on Brickset but I want to focus on the Lester minifigure that was available for the AFOL attendees as well as for shoppers.
As you can see from the image above, there are only 275 LEGO Lester minifigures available which makes it one of the most rare minifigures ever produced. This puts Lester around the same level as the early exclusive San Diego Comic Con LEGO minifigures. Huw reported that the extremely limited number of Lester minifigures produced was because there wasn’t more bowler hat pieces due to it being out of production and whatever was left were used for it.
You still have a chance to win Lester when you make a purchase of £55 or more at the Leicester Square store until November 20 or while supplies last.
