LEGO is back again this year with another LEGO Classic Space promotional set, this time with the Micro Rocket Launchpad (40712). The 325 piece set will be available for LEGO Insiders early access February 16-18 with purchases of $200, €200, $320 AUD. The general release will run from February 19-25 with the same price threshold.
Medieval Inn by the Gatehouse by _nightbricks_ is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features a castle gatehouse flanked with two towers along with an inn.
The project joins Spirited Away, Appa the Sky Bison, from Avatar the Last Airbender, Venus Flytrap, Minerals Display, Dreamworks’ Shrek’s Swamp 2, Hello Kitty and Friends – 50 Years, Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch, Medieval Tournament, Cherry Blossom Ikebana, Roman Forum, Interstellar, Metallica M72 World Tour, Suitcase Express!, and Outer Wilds as the ones to reach the First 2024 Review Stage.
LEGO this year has released the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man’s Mask (76285) which completes the trio of him, Venom, and Carnage. It has 487 pieces and retails for $69.99.
Super Bowl LVIII is going on right now and during one of the commercial breaks, Universal Pictures showed off their trailer for the upcoming Wicked movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. LEGO on their social media accounts without any pictures posted “Wonder if LEGO bricks could defy gravity…💚👀”. Also, a reply to the Wicked account on X/Twitter, they posted “Emerald City here we come!”
This seemingly suggests that LEGO could be releasing a set for the movie in the future. Wicked premieres in theaters this Thanksgiving so if there is a set made, it wouldn’t be released until around the holiday time. If LEGO does make a Wicked set, what do you want to see in it?

It’s been a few days since the BrickLink Designer Program Series 1 sets started pre-orders and here’s a quick update on what’s been happening if you don’t follow my social media updates. As of today, three sets have completely sold out of the 30,000 maximum allotted which include the Mountain Fortress, The Old Train Engine Shed, and Snack Shack. The Mountain Fortress sold out in three hours after pre-orders started and the Snack Shack and The Old Train Engine Shed came after.
We only have the Parisian Street and the General Store left from Series 1. The Parisian Street is about 50% sold out while the General Store looks to be about 70% sold out. There’s still 17 days left to pre-order but I expect them to be sold out in about a week.

Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year to those who celebrate and why not spend some of the day to build some of the new LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets. This year, we celebrate the Year of the Dragon which is the most powerful animal on the Chinese Zodiac and has been long revered as a symbol of strength and good luck. LEGO has released a couple of the dragon sets this year with the Auspicious Dragon (80112) and the Year of the Dragon (40611) gift with purchase set.
