If you’re not a LEGO VIP member, the LEGO Ideas A-Frame Cabin (21338) is now available to the general public. It retails for $179.99 but it is currently listed as a backorder on the LEGO Shop and it will ship by February 23.
As far as promotions go, there’s nothing going on right now to go along with the cabin but one for the LEGO BIONICLE Tahu and Takua (40581) tribute set runs through February 9 and requires a $100 purchase of City, Classic, Creator 3-in-1, DOTS, Friends, Monkie Kid, and Ninjago.

With 1,800 bricks and 3 magical realms, LEGO® Classic Creative Fantasy Universe (11033) is bursting with make-believe, medieval fun, captivating characters and mythical creatures.
A brick bonanza for big imaginations
Kids aged 5 and up can create 3 enchanting realms using 1,800 bricks in a rainbow of colors, including gold, silver and opalescent elements. One bag of bricks lets children build a knight, a knight on horseback and a dragon sitting on a pile of gold. Another bag includes a buildable cloud castle, wizard, magical mushroom and a winged unicorn. More bags contain bricks for a smiling sea serpent, mermaid and a toy pirate ship complete with cannons, a skeleton, goblin and a frog. Wherever kids’ imaginations take them, printed and digital (via the LEGO Builder app) instructions get them started quickly.
Where’s Wally/Waldo? by Iyan Ha is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Using 2,159 pieces, the build recreates scenes from six Where’s Waldo books.
The Twilight: Cullen House by LobsterThermidor is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,995 piece build features a modern contemporary house that is filled with details from the Twilight movies. It also proposes minifigures of Bella, Edward, Carlisle, and Jacob in his human and brick-built werewolf form.
Square Enix has announced that they are doing a LEGO contest to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII. They are asking what Final Fantasy VII setting do you want to see build in LEGO and there are four choices which include Aerith’s House, Honeybee Inn, Sector 5 Slums Church, and Water Tower Nibelheim.
FF7 is my favorite RPG of all time and I would like to see the slums church in LEGO form but my hearts goes to Aerith’s house. If I’m guessing, the build will most likely be created by a LEGO Certified Professional. It doesn’t look like there will be any official sets based on the game but as a fanatic, it’ll be cool to see anything FF7 in LEGO.
To round off Final Fantasy VII’s 25th anniversary year we want you to vote for one of four classic scenes, that we’ll remake with Lego.
We’ll then give away the final piece as a prize in a contest later this year.
