The promotion for the LEGO Easter Bunny’s Carrot House (40449) is now live on the LEGO Shop. For the next three days, you’ll get a rare chance to double up on the LEGO promos as the Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) set is also available with purchases of $100. LEGO usually doesn’t do double promos but the tribute set was extended for a few days so get it while you can.
The LEGO VIDIYO theme officially launched at the beginning of the month to mixed reactions. From the cryptic teasers and announcement that really didn’t show much of the products to extremely bad reviews of the companion app, it doesn’t bode well for this partnership with Universal Music Group. I purchased the Hiphop Robot BeatBox (43107) just to see how everything works together and offer my opinion whether to purchase it or not. Keep in mind that the BeatBox sets cost $19.99 each.

The torso has printing that shows some a USB cable wrapped around the neck. The legs have some circuit board printing going down to some microchips.

The head is robotic gray and the most inter sting piece for me is the helmet/hair piece that shows a graphic equalizer.
Each of the BeatBox set comes with a container that has some headphones going around it. The back of it has unique designs to the specific character and this one looks like a boombox or a robotic face. The other designs are a spray can and a wrench. When you pull it out, there are two parts to this area. One is the stage where the Hiphop Robot goes and surrounding him are 12 BeatBits that you use to scan into the app. Inside the white case are slots to store … Continue
This is a reminder that the promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny’s Carrot House (40449) starts tonight at midnight on the LEGO Shop. You’ll be able to get it for free with purchases of $60 or more until April 5. In addition, the promo for the Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) will also be running at the same time so technically you can get both with $100 purchases. Keep in mind that products already in the cart won’t trigger the promos unless you add them when the promo period starts. Read my review of the Easter Bunny’s Carrot House here.

Billund, Thursday 11th March: Fabulous fashionista, musician and award-winning actor Billy Porter has revealed his latest red-carpet creation, a showstopping rainbow LEGO® crown inspired by the unlimited imagination of two new muses…siblings Clint and Josey.
In the new film released today by the LEGO Group as part of the Rebuild the World campaign, the creator famed for his killer red carpet looks gives viewers a glimpse into his design process.

Walmart currently has the LEGO City Passenger Train (60197) on sale for 20% off. Normally, the set goes for $159.99 but it is now priced at $127.99 which is a great deal for a set that doesn’t get discounted that often, let alone at this price.
Update: Amazon has now price matched Walmart as part of the Frustration-Free Packaging.
It looks like the promotion for the LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) has been extended for a few days for those last minute shoppers. The promotion was initially set to end tomorrow night but if you look on the Offers & Sale page at the bottom, you’ll see that it will now end on March 17 instead. LEGO may have over-produced this set just a little bit even though the hype for it was decent enough to think it would sell out quickly.
There’s a tighter window when the LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh (21326) set launches on March 18. You may have at chance to still get both promos if you purchase right at midnight. It all depends on if the programming was done correctly to remove the Amelia Earhart set on time at that time. We shall see.
The LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Mario (71360) is currently on sale for 20% off the retail price.

This is the first time that the set has hit a significant sale since its release.
