LEGO will be holding some new Creativity Workshops at LEGO stores in April. Select stores in the US and Canada will be holding the event on April 5 and 6. You’ll have to sign up in advance because space is limited. The workshop is intened for kids 6-12 and it looks like it’s just a building event and not a make and take.
Amazon has just discounted the LEGO Super Mario The Mighty Bowser (71411) for the first time by 15%. The set is now listed for $229.99 which saves you $40 off the regular retail price. It is sold by third-part Woot but it’s owned by Amazon so it’s pretty much the same company.

If you’re attending Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, there is a LEGO exclusive item that you can get at the convention. StarWars.com has revealed some exclusives for the event and LEGO will have a printed tile with the Star Wars Celebration logo written out in Japanese. You can get it as a gift with purchase at the LEGO booth and there will be limited quantities. Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 will be happening April 18-20.
Yesterday’s announcement of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire (10354) may have given a hint to the future of the LOTR theme. Towards the end of the press release, there was a curious statement which read:
A true collector’s item that completes the trilogy of sets, following previous Barad-dûr™ and Rivendell™ launches, the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire set is a testament to the enduring power of friendship, adventure, and the magic of Middle-earth™.
This latest set seems to suggest that this will be it for The Lord of the Rings theme for the Icons line following Rivendell (10316) and Barad-dur (10333). I can’t imagine LEGO being done after just three sets as there’s still many more locations that they could do such as Khazad-dum/Mines of Moria, Gondor/Minas Tirith, or Helm’s Deep. They also also shift to large scale character builds like the Balrog, an Oliphaunt, a Fell Beast, or even Smaug. Either way, we’ll just have to see what LEGO has planned for the future of The Lord of the Rings.
