Brickset has recently updated their database for some upcoming LEGO sets and it looks like there’s some sort of Disney themed line coming soon. There are four sets listed which are:
• Mickey Mouse Propeller Plane (10772) – 59 pieces
• The Minnie Mouse Ice Cream Shop (10773) – 100 pieces
• The Space Rocket Of Mickey And Minnie (10774) – 88 pieces
• Fire Station And Fire Truck Of Mickey Mouse And His Friends (10776) – 144 pieces
The sets are obviously translated and the numbering on the sets seem to suggest DUPLO or 4+ but have been talk of it being a minifigure scale theme. Judging by the piece count, it could be the former. Do you think we’ll ever see a minifigure scale Disney line besides the two waves of Collectible Minifigures?
Next up on my reviews of the new wave of LEGO Monkie Kid sets, I’ll be checking out the White Dragon Horse Jet (80020). It has 565 pieces and retails for $49.99.
The LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) promotion starts in a few days but we get to have a quick early look at the set. It has 203 pieces and you can get it from March 6-14 for free with purchases of $100 or more, while supplies last. Stuffed inside the box include five numbered bags, a couple of loose pieces, the instruction booklet, and a small sticker sheet.
Okay a lot of you guys have emailed me asking me to post about this piece of news that came out yesterday. In 2022, LEGOLAND Florida and Peppa Pig will be somewhat coinciding with each other. Merlin Entertainments, which is owned by The LEGO Group, is working with Hasbro to create a standalone Peppa Pig theme park inside of LEGOLAND Florida.
As we all know, LEGO and Hasbro are competitors, especially in the building block world with Hasbro producing their MEGA lines. We most likely won’t see any LEGO Peppa Pig sets any time soon or at all. Could this partnership open up to the companies sharing their licenses with each other?
For those who were able to sign up for the LEGO VIDIYO Welcome Pack last week, LEGO has informed people that it will be slightly delayed. It was supposed to be delivered some time between 5-10 business days but LEGO is experiencing delays with their shipment so it’ll take a little longer to get them delivered. LEGO VIDIYO will be available in a few days with a slew of products that kids can enjoy including a line of mystery characters called Bandmates.
The LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) is now back in stock on the LEGO Shop. It has been temporarily out of stock since its release at the beginning of the month. I’m not sure how much they have in stock so if you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to get it.
