After the accidental reveals of some existing LEGO sets in new color schemes earlier this month, LEGO has officially announced a pilot program for these sets. Unfortunately, they are exclusively doing it over in the UK so the rest of the world won’t be able to participate and there will be limited availability for them. You’ll have until November 30 to get your orders in, while supplies last. The only set that is not exclusive to the UK is the Fiat 500 which ships internationally. Below is a list of what retails have which sets available for purchase.
The LEGO Group is running a pilot with a small number of products to gain a deeper understanding of what our fans want from our portfolio and where they prefer to shop for new or unique products.
The pilot includes variations of some of our existing products, so we can find out more about the colors and sizes of sets that fans of all ages want to see more of in our portfolio.

On the heels of the LEGO DC Batmobile Tumbler (76240) being revealed this morning, Japanese retailer Yodobashi has revealed another Batman set from The Dark Knight Trilogy. Listed at ￥6,000, the LEGO DC Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown (76239) is also slated to be released on October 1. It has 422 pieces and includes minifigures of Batman and the Scarecrow.
**Update: You can now pre-order it on the LEGO Shop**
For my other review of the summer 2021 LEGO Technic sets, I have the other larger set in the wave with the 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck (42129). The set has 2,110 pieces and retails for $299.99. It is able to use the newer CONTROL+ system to remotely control it. The parts are packed into bags numbered to six as well as bags for the motors and hub. There is also a very large sticker sheet as well. Again, I’m not all too familiar with Technic so I probably will get some of the terminology wrong.
Amazon Japan has unofficially revealed the new LEGO DC Batmobile Tumbler (76240). The set has 2,049 pieces and it is an updated version of the vehicle from The Dark Knight. They have it listed at ¥25,330 which is about $230 with a release date of November 1. It will also come with a rotating stand with minifigures of Batman and the Joker.
**Update: You can now pre-order it on the LEGO Shop**
