Backstreet Boys: I Want It That Way by H1GHDEF1N1T1ON is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is based on the iconic music video of the 1999 hit song I Want It That Way where Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough are all in their white outfits in front of the Boeing 727.
The new LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (21360) is now available for purchase on the LEGO Shop. Retailing for $219.99, the 2,025 piece set is based on the original 1971 movie starring Gene Wilder.
The main feature is the chocolate waterfall that can move when you turn the dial on the back. It also has the Wonkatania boat that can carry the minifigures which include Willy Wonka, two Oompa Loompa, Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Joe, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, and Mike Teavee.
As of right now, the LEGO SEGA Genesis Controller (40769) is still available so you can get it as a GWP when you get it. The promo will run until September 17, while supplies last.

If you didn’t know, DK has recently released the LEGO Minifigure A Visual History: Updated and Expanded which includes an exclusive Blacktron minifigure. The minifigure itself is more detailed with the Blacktron logo now printed on the torso and legs which is slightly different than the ones found in the LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355). Retailing for $40, the 304 page book has been updated since the last one from 2020 and it features over 2,500 LEGO minifigures from various themes.

Chugging along with our reviews of the LEGO Wicked sets, the next one we’ll be checking out is Emerald City & Kiamo Ko Castle (75689). The set has 860 pieces and retails for $89.99.
If you have some LEGO Insiders points laying around, LEGO is giving you a chance to win the LEGO BrickHeadz SDCC 2016 Batman & The Joker (41491). These BrickHeadz were the first ones that LEGO released but as San Diego Comic Con exclusives back when LEGO still did exclusives to promote the theme. As of this post, the set is going for about $800-1200 on the secondary market. Each entry costs 50 Insiders points and you can have a maximum of 50 entries. If you’re a gambler, the maximum number of points you can do are worth about a $385 purchase.
The LEGO Icons Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship (10365) was just released yesterday and to go along with it, you could’ve gotten the Captain Jack Sparrow’s Compass (5009609) GWP. Unfortunately it looks like the gift with purchase set is now sold out online but LEGO Brand Stores may still have them. It was supposed to last until September 18 but the GWP is the yellow box packaging which is usually the more limited ones compared to the regular boxed GWPs.
If you’re still want to see if stores still have the Black Pearl, I would highly suggest calling them first before heading out there as it is also on backorder status. Even though the ship is on the more expensive side, it seems that it is still popular among fans.
Since our last update, three more LEGO Ideas projects have reached the 10,000 supporter goal. In total, we are now up to 10 projects that now qualify for the Third 2025 Review Stage.
