LEGO has finally updated the LEGO Speed Champions minisite in anticipation of the sets being officially released on March 1st. There are now product descriptions for each of the seven sets in the wave. There is also a Videos page but nothing is on it as of this writing. However, there are some YouTube videos which we’ve embedded below for you to enjoy. Finally, there’s a Games page as well but that page is broken as well.

We’ve already reviewed one of the LEGO Speed Champions sets with the McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop (75911) and we’ll be reviewing the rest of the sets in the wave as soon as they are available. There are reports that the sets have started showing up at Toys R Us so you can probably find them there ahead of the official release date.

February 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Everything usually comes to an end and that is what’s happening with the LEGO Creator Maersk Line Triple-E (10241). The set has been available since January 2014 but now has been placed in the “Retiring Soon” section on Shop@Home. This usually means LEGO has probably stopped producing the set and is just selling off the rest of their inventory online and in stores to make room for upcoming releases. There’s no exact timetable on when the Maersk Line Triple-E will be fully retired but there’s still some time to pick it up as of this writing. Thanks to Michael for the heads up.
