LEGO BrickHeadz Pets Ginger Tabby (40480) and Hamster (40482) Images

There are images of some new LEGO BrickHeadz Pets sets that come out of the building instructions customer service area which are the Ginger Tabby (40480) and Hamster (40482). There’s also a listing for the Cockatiel (40481) but there’s no image for that set. Like with the previous BrickHeadz Pets sets, they each come with an adult version as well as a baby version of the animal. There’s no word on release dates but I assume it’ll be soon since they have listing up for them already.

Marvel’s Black Widow Finally Hits Theaters This Week

The Black Widow movie is set to be finally released in theaters this week after a long delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie will kick off Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with three more MCU movies coming later this year. As part of LEGO’s license with Marvel, there are already sets to tie-in with the movie. The first set is the Black Widow’s Helicopter Chase (76162) which includes Black Widow, Yelena Belova, and Taskmaster. This set has 271 pieces and retails for $29.99.

The other is a more rare one that was a San Diego Comic Con 2020 set called Taskmaster’s Ambush (77905). This set has 230 pieces and retailed for $39.99 and it included Black Widow in her white outfit, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster. Since there was no SDCC last year, it was sold on the LEGO Shop as well as on Amazon which sold out pretty quickly with low restocks the following days. You can now only find it on the secondary market or if you wish, you can build your own using the provided building instructions.

BrickLink to Give Update Next Week on BrickLink Designer Program

The first crowdfunding round for the BrickLink Designer Program came and went just like that and it didn’t go over well with some fans with some of the issues they had. They have put out a statement saying they’ve read your comments and frustrations and will give an update some time next week.

As we know by now, there were some glaring issues right from the get-go. First was the site crashes when the pre-orders started. Next was the 5,000 limit which went way quicker than expected. There was a recent article by Jay’s Brick Blog stating that the 5,000 limit was intentional due to manufacturing constraints and if they made more, the satisfaction of owning a limited edition set goes down. I can tell you that there are more unsatisfied fans than happy ones right now.

The 40 day crowdfunding time that they provided was way overestimated as the projects reached the goal in less than a day. Lastly was the purchasing limit of five per project. This allowed mainly scalpers to buy up stock and left legit buyers out.

We’ll see what BrickLink has to say next week and if they address some of these issues. Were you able to get what you wanted? Personally, I just bought the Sheriff’s Safe.
