In my next review of the summer 2022 LEGO Marvel sets, I’ll be checking out the Iron Man Armoury (76216). Coming in at 496 pieces, it retails for a whopping $89.99. The set is based mostly on Iron Man 2 but there are things from other movies as well.
The Art Center by Lepralego is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,820 piece build features a three story building that also has a working glass elevator that uses a manual system.
The project now joins Lilo & Stitch: Beach House, Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark – 40th Anniversary, Motorized Steampunk Skyship, Auto Repair Garage 1930s, Fishing in Muddy Waters, Lisbon Tram (Electrico de Lisboa), Medieval Alchemist, Working Orrery, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Escher Room, Working Polaroid Sun 600 LMS, LEGO Mushroom House, and The World of Engineering: Types of Bridges as the ones to reach the Second 2022 Review Stage.

LEGO has released the designer video for the new LEGO Ideas Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night (21333). Designers Soren Dyrhoj and Niken Ayumurti Hartomo talk about some of the details in the set including the 3D effect of the landscape. One interesting fact about the actual painting is that it was painted on or around June 18 which happens to also be my birthday.
Currently, The Starry Night is on backorder but orders will ship by June 23.
LEGO has released a 90 Years of Play Catalog and at the end of it, it shows some of the promotions that will be going on. The main one is the LEGO Forest Hideout (40567) GWP which will be available from June 15-22 with purchases of $150, while supplies last. It’s a very tight window to get it as you only have less than a week to get it. There is another look at the set on the LEGO Shop.
There is also the LEGO Animal Free Builds – Make It Yours (30503) polybag with purchases of $40 from June 15-30.
In addition, there will be two LEGO VIP Rewards that you can redeem. One is the LEGO Logo Through The Years Poster with 650 points. The other is a LEGO Duck Lenticular Sticker with 500 points.

After almost half a year with no LEGO Designer Videos, LEGO has finally released one for the new LEGO Technic Ferrari Daytona SP3 (42143). LEGO Designers Aurelien Rouffiange, Daniel Sri Sudarsono, and Uwe Wabra talks about the details that went into the set which is one of the most sophisticated Technic builds LEGO has done so far.
LEGO has announced that the prices on some LEGO sets will be increased in August and September due to increased costs of raw materials and operating costs. They have not said which sets will get the price bump but they did state that some prices on sets will not change and some will get a single digit increase while the larger ones will get a percentage increase. Obviously, this will affect shopping habits and many will pull back due to inflation in other parts of the economy as well.
Update on pricing
The current global economic challenges of increased raw material and operating costs are impacting many businesses.
Putting consumers first is at the heart of what we do as a company, and for some time, we have absorbed these costs to keep pricing stable. However, as these costs have continued to rapidly rise, we have taken the decision to increase the price on some of our sets. This increase will come into effect in August and September.
The increase will differ depending on the set and prices will change on around a quarter of the portfolio. On some sets we will not alter price, on others there will be a single digit increase and on larger, more complex sets the percentage increase will be higher.
We will continue to work to ensure our products offer great value and full recognise how important this is to our fans and everyone who love our products.
