LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas Third 2021 Stage Review. Out of the 36 projects that qualified, only one made the cut and it is Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage by Amber Veyt (TheAmbrinator). As usual, LEGO is still working on the final product design, pricing, and availability so it’ll be at least a year before we see the set. The next review results will be in the fall when they announce the First 2022 Review Stage winner.

Who do you think will be the winner(s)? Let us know below.
Last month, LEGO announced an upcoming price increase on sets that are coming as soon as August and now Barnes & Noble has given us a look at what we can expect to see for the new prices at retailers soon. Yesterday, the big news came out on B&N as they updated their site of over 60+ sets that have already gotten the price bump and it doesn’t look good as some sets will be getting an increase of up to 25%.
Note that the official prices on the LEGO Shop are the final prices and prices listed at other retailers are their own prices. With that said now that we can see what we can expect from other retailers, I highly suggest you take advantage of the upcoming Double VIP Points event from July 12-13 and Amazon Prime Day to get the most out of your money as wallet will be hurting in August. This also doesn’t look like it’s the final list if we’re comparing it to the list that StoneWars put out a while back and there will be more sets that will get the price hike later on.
