LEGO has announced the winner of the Out of This World building contest on LEGO Ideas has the winning model that will go in development to become a gift-with-purchase set is The Adventures of the USS Cardboard. This fun little model shows a child riding a makeshift rocket out of cardboard which kind of reminds us of something similar we did during our childhood. 2,869 fans voted for it and we will get this set sometime in the future.
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.
A few days ago, we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO Star Wars helmet and droid sets and we now have additional details for them including pricing and release date. Starting today, you will be able to pre-order them on the LEGO Shop and the general sale will be on April 26.

Today, the LEGO Group revealed three new LEGO® Star Wars™ construction sets for adult builders to recreate some of the most iconic designs from the Star Wars galaxy.
The new sets will feature two iconic additions to the LEGO Star Wars helmet collection first revealed last year – a bust inspired by Darth Vader™ and one in the likeness of a loyal Scout Trooper™. Moreover, a stunning new model honouring the imposing Imperial Probe Droid™ completes the trio.

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.

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.
