LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577) Sold Out Online – North America

July 18, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days after the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts: Grand Staircase (40577) went live on the LEGO Shop, it now seems to be sold out online in North America. That was pretty quick considering the purchase threshold was at $130 to get it and was gone in less than four days when the promotion was supposed to run until July 31. LEGO Brand Stores may still have them so I suggest calling your local store to see if they have any. It’s funny because my review copy is still in the mail to be delivered so the review will totally be outdated. The only promotion left is the LEGO Harry Potter Build Your Own Hogwarts Castle (30435) polybag with HP purchases of $40.

LEGO Files “Brick to the Future” Trademark

July 18, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Juris A/S has recently filed a trademark for the phrase “Brick to the Future” and could this mean that we could be seeing more Back to the Future products soon? Filed back on June 22, the trademark applies to games, toys, prints and publications, and other merchandise.

LEGO has already made a number of products based on the Back to the Future franchise with the first being the LEGO Cuusoo The DeLorian Time Machine (21103). Next came some sets for LEGO Dimensions including the Back to the Future Level Pack (71201) and Doc Brown Fun Pack (71230). There was also the LEGO BrickHeadz Back to the Future Marty McFly & Doc Brown (41611) which came out in 2018. Lastly, we have the LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine (10300) which has been out of stock since its release in April and had very small restocks.

Of course the phrase Brick to the Future doesn’t have to mean that it’s related to BTTF and could be for something totally different. We’ll keep an eye on this as it’ll take a while for the trademark application to get moving. It’ll be around six months before it is assigned to an examining attorney so we’ll circle back in December to see if there are any updates.
