LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Our latest LEGO Ideas update has added a couple more projects that have reached the Third 2025 Review Stage. Here we have another project for The Vampire Diaries which seem to be a popular subject item as of late. We also have kiosk modules designed way back in 1966 by architect and designer Saša J. Mächtig.
The LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) is by no means a cheap set but a user on Reddit has managed to get it for “free” using only Insiders points. Of course, if you’ve been buying LEGO throughout the years and hoarding all the points without using them, a big purchase like this is valid.
It required the user to use 129,998 Insiders points to get the max discount of $999.99 but it was easy for them since they’ve already banked over 150k points. Each $1 you spend earns you 6.5 points so you had to have already spent $20,000 to get the points in the first place. Even if you just shopped during the double points event, $10,000 is still a lot for anybody. LEGO also sometimes did the 4x events but those were rare.
Kudos to the user that did it and we’re not worthy. I thought I had a lot of points but there’s many people out there that have way more.
LEGO has revealed a new set in the Wonders of the Natural World line with the Northern Lights Diorama (40785). The set has 332 pieces and it features a snowy scene in the Northern Hemisphere with the aurora borealis in the background. There’s no details yet on when the gift with purchase set will release and we can easily assume that it’ll require a $150 purchase like with the previous sets in the line.
This LEGO® Northern Lights Diorama (40785) is the 4th building kit in a LEGO collectible series dedicated to the wonders of nature. The scene depicts a Northern Hemisphere landscape with a skyscape featuring the aurora borealis. Assemble the snow-topped trees then add the glow-in-the-dark moon element and the colorful tiles to represent the Northern Lights and their reflections. This set makes a great gift for kids aged 12 and up or anyone who loves the natural world. Set contains 332 pieces.
October is now here and the LEGO October 2025 releases are now available on the LEGO Shop. The main set that has released is the big boy LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) which is the first ever set priced at $999.99. We also have the release of this year’s Winter Village set with the Holiday Express Train (10361) along with the other Seasonal Christmas sets.
For the gift with purchase items, you can get the LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack (40771) only when you purchase the Death Star.
There are still two promotions that are still running until October 7 which are the LEGO Creator Celebration Series: Luminous Ghost (40772) and the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Balkiry Attack (30704).
