LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) Promotion Live on LEGO Shop

January 27, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The promotion for the new LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) is now live on the LEGO Shop. You can get it with purchases of $200/£200/200€ from now until February 13, while supplies last. The promo does stack with the Year of the Tiger (40491), at least in other countries until February 6. The tiger is sold out in the US but LEGO Stores might still have them in stock.

As for the Vintage Taxi, it’ll probably last until the end of the promo period since a lot of the newer LEGO exclusives are out of stock including the Boutique Hotel (10297) that goes well with it. Tack on the high price threshold and you’ll have a set that’ll sit around for a while. If you do make a purchase, make sure you use Rakuten to earn some cash back.

LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) Gift with Purchase Details

January 27, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has finally released the details for the upcoming LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop. The build is based on a classic version of the 1930s Citroën Traction Avant and you can get it from January 28 to February 13 with purchases of $200/£200/200€, while supplies last. The set also includes a taxi driver minifigure along with some accessories as well.

With the price threshold at a pretty high limit and releasing on such short notice, supplies will no doubt last. The taxi does match well with the new Modular Buildings Collection Boutique Hotel (10297) although we’ll see if it comes back in stock since it’s been a very popular set and has been temporarily out of stock for a while.

LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) Review

January 27, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The promotion for the LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) is now live on the LEGO Shop and you can get it for free with purchases of $200 or more from now until February 13, while supplies last. It has 163 pieces and it features an old school style taxi along with the driver.

The driver wears a blue shirt under a red jacket. His headpiece shows him with a moustache along with some mutton chops and he wears a beret. His briefcase holds a donut tile.

There’s also a small sidewalk area with a streetlight and a trash can.

The vintage taxi has a black and yellow color scheme and is based on the 1930s Citroën Traction Avant. It is six-wide and the inside has enough room for the driver and a passenger. There’s nothing more too it and it does goes well in an existing City layout.

The LEGO Vintage Taxi (40532) is a nice looking set but the $200 price threshold may be a little high for some. It does pair up well with the new Boutique Hotel (10297) as they both have similar styles and that itself should be enough to get it. Again, you have until February 13 to get your orders in for it.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

BrickLink Designer Program Round 3 Preview

January 26, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Round 3 of the BrickLink Designer Program should be starting some time in 2022 and there are nine projects left in this beginning run of program. These projects initially hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas but were not approved to become an official LEGO Ideas set but they have a second chance at becoming a LEGO set if it is one of the first five projects to reach 3,000 pre-orders in a particular round.

For Round 3, there are nine final projects which you can check out below. There were two projects that were from previous rounds that got pushed back to the final round which may or may not be good since there are a few nice ones that are competing with them for the five spots. Most of the projects are still in the test building stage so there’s still lots of time left to get them ready to be voted on.
