Amazon has started a new promotion where you can get a $10 credit when you spend $50 in select LEGO products. The selection of sets at are part of the promotion have been updated since the last time they did this and some of them also have been discounted as well. They feature mostly smaller sets and my favorite one from the list has to be the LEGO Disney “Up” House (43217).

LEGO on their social media accounts have started the teasers for the upcoming LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End set. As we know by now, LEGO will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragon’s and this set was the winner of the building contest they held on LEGO Ideas last year.
The teaser video shows a skeleton minifigure inside the Gelatinous Cube along with some other objects. The official reveal of the set should be coming soon so stay tuned.
Time to party up. We’re oozing with anticipation! Are you ready to build awesome adventures?#LEGODnD pic.twitter.com/0gbrxpFLwD

Today was supposed to be the general release of the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop but it looks like that won’t be happening, at least in the US. Unless there’s some sort of delay on the LEGO Shop, it appears that the set has been sold out since it doesn’t even show up in the cart even after adding the required $200 to get it. Once big clue was that it wasn’t available yesterday when the promotional period for LEGO Insiders was still going. LEGO Brand Stores could still have them in stock so I recommend calling them to check.
If you’re not a LEGO Insider, I highly suggest signing up for this free program as you can earn points towards discounts and other LEGO items that are exclusive to it.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons and D&D Beyond has given a little update on what kind of things will be going on to celebrate the event. We already know that we’ll be getting a LEGO Ideas set with the Dragon’s Keep: Journey’s End by BoltBuilds and an illustration of Epic Battle Relief Painting by chainsaw yu 電鋸鋸鋸鋸 will be in the instructions.
The details of the set are still under wraps but it was rumored that it will be an April release which coincides with D&D Beyond mentioning it briefly. It is said that’ll have 3,745 pieces and will retail for $359.99. Of course, we’ll just have to wait until LEGO officially reveals the set to get the accurate information. Another rumor that has surfaced in the past few days is that there will be a whole LEGO Collectibles Minifigure line dedicated to Dungeons & Dragons coming late summer.
If you’re a LEGO Insider, today is the last day for the early access for the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop. If you’re not, don’t worry because wave two of this release will start tomorrow and run until February 25, while supplies last. Again, it will require a $200 general purchase to get this reimagining of some LEGO Classic Space sets.

Virginia, USA, February 15, 2024: The LEGO Group today announced it has appointed a permanent program lead and general contractor as it advances work on its more than US $1 billion manufacturing site in Chesterfield County, near Richmond, Virginia.
Preben Elnef named permanent program leader
Preben Elnef will assume program leadership from April 2024, and will be responsible for all aspects of the project, including the factory’s construction and opening. He takes on this new role after three years with the company’s Vietnam business, where he established an operating unit and oversaw the construction of the company’s second new factory, which is scheduled to begin production in 2025.
Preben has worked for the LEGO Group for the past 10 years and brings extensive experience leading large-scale investment projects and expertise in engineering,
The promotion for the LEGO Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712) gift with purchase set is now live on the LEGO Shop. From now until February 18, LEGO Insiders can get the set with purchases of $200 or more. The general public can get the set next week, February 19-25, but I don’t think the set will even last that long.
