LEGO Volkswagen Käfer Rumored for Second Half of 2016

April 1, 2016 /

CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has posted details on a new LEGO vehicles set that is rumored to come out possibly later this year and that is the Volkswagen Käfer, aka the Beetle. He mentions that it’ll be similar to some of the previous vehicles like the Mini Cooper (10242) and the Ferrari F40 with set number 10252. Keep in mind that LEGO has already released a version of this car in 2008 with set 10187 so this might be the newer style of the Beetle.

Yes, I know that today is still April Fools Day but remember that Just2Good also posted about the Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) last year on this same day and it was in fact true so don’t put this rumor on the backburner just yet but don’t get your hopes up too high if this is a false rumor.

I’ll have more details, if any, when they become available.

Update: CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has reported that the set will indeed be the Volkwagen Beetle. It will be available for general release on August 1st for $99.99 with it being available for VIPs in July.

LEGO Announces LEGO Ideas Revisited

March 31, 2016 /

LEGO today has announced in a new initiative that Ideas projects that were rejected during their respective Review Stages to have a second chance in becoming an official set. This new plan is called “LEGO Ideas Revisited” and starting this summer, fans will be able to vote for projects in a head-to-head format similar to the March Madness bracket.

Early on there weren’t that many CUUSOO/Ideas projects that qualified at a certain Review Stage so for the first Revisited voting period, LEGO will be combining a few of the early Review Stages together to create the bracket determined by when they achieved 10,000 supporters. Each voting period will vary depending on the number of projects being considered. For the first bracket, there will be three weeks of voting until the winner is chosen at the end which you can see above.

The first bracket pits the Winchester – Shaun of the Dead, Eve Online Rifter, and The Legend of Zelda against each other with the winner going up against outcome of the Modular Western Town, UCS Sandcrawler (even though we already have one), and Thinking with Portals! matchup.

After the winner is chosen, the LEGO Jury will again deliberate to see if that particular project will become a set. It will go through the same rules as before so nothing has changed there. Check out the full press release below.
