March 25, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has teased a brand new LEGO Star Wars set in their latest announcement of the new LEGO Star Wars Imperial Probe Droid (75306). In the product video, they gave a teaser of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (75308). It looks similar to the 10225 version from 2012 but this one has been updated to be more accurate. There’s no word yet on the release date or pricing for it. There are rumors that it could be the May the 4th set and will retail for about €199.99. Keep in mind the original one was priced at $179.99. Thanks to everyone who sent in a screenshot of it.

LEGO Ulysses Space Probe VIP Exclusive Launching Soon

March 25, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) was announced a few days ago and if you didn’t read the press release closely, you may have missed some details of a VIP Rewards Center exclusive item that will be available as well. For 1,800 VIP points, LEGO will be offering the Ulysses Space Probe which the Discovery deployed in a 1990 mission to scan the sun. It wasn’t mentioned how many will be available but it did say limited stocks which I don’t expect to be a lot of. The press release didn’t say when the set will launch but I’m assuming it’ll be on April 1 alongside the release of the Discovery.

LEGO City Crooks Hideout (60278) Officially Cancelled

March 23, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

At the beginning of the year, some building instructions revealed a new LEGO City Crooks Hideout (60278). There has been absolutely no information about it and it didn’t even release when we expected it but there is now an explanation for that. The reason is that the set has been officially cancelled due to LEGO not feeling that it is keeping with brand values.

With LEGO City, we always aim to represent the reality of the world in a way that is fun, positive and appropriate for kids. With this in mind, we have decided not to launch this product as we no longer feel it is in keeping with the values of the LEGO City brand.
