LEGO’s first venture into the book crowdfunding on Unbound for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks ended last week very successfully and we now wait for the book to be published. When the campaign ended, it had a 205% funding rate with 3,660 supporters which I bet is more than what LEGO could have imagined. For a quick note, there will be 3,783 names in the back of the book on the supporter list. Now we wait for Daniel Konstanski to finish writing the book and it should be released by Spring 2022.
The new LEGO Tulips (40461) is now back in stock on the LEGO Shop. I will say that this small set has been very hard to find as it is rarely in stock and I think this is the first time I’ve seen it in stock since January. It may have came back between then and now but it didn’t stay in stock for that long.
The LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) is currently on sale on Amazon for 20% off which is the lowest price it has been at since last November. If you decide to pick it up, you’ll save $12 on it but there’s also a dilemma since there’s also a promotion going on at the LEGO Shop. The LEGO FRIENDS Mug (5006068) promo is still going on until June 23 when you purchase the set on the LEGO Shop. As of today, the mug is reselling for $35-$50 on the secondary market but I feel it’ll come down a little bit as more people get their orders in the mail.
