A short while ago, the LEGO Jan-May 2021 New Zealand Catalog was released and there are a lot of sets shown that we haven’t seen before from a number of themes. The most interesting ones for me are the LEGO Ninjago ones which has an old-school Islanders feel to them with the new season of LEGO Ninjago: the Island.

The New Zealand LEGO January-May 2021 Catalog is now available and inside are some new sets we haven’t seen before including a teaser for the upcoming LEGO Vidiyo theme. There’s nothing much shown besides the Vidiyo logo and a QR code which leads to a 404 page.
Releasing in March, LEGO Vidiyo is supposedly the partnership theme between LEGO and Universal Music Group. Rumor has it is that the sets will be centered around making music videos and they feature cube style boxes that will have printed 2×2 album cover tiles that you can scan with your phone to reveal an interactive experience. It does sound pretty interesting and I look forward to the official reveal of the sets.

A few days, LEGO Chief Marketing Officer Julia Goldin and Head of BrickLink Marvin Park gave an update on the future of BrickLink and what is in store for the future of the marketplace platform. Most of it goes to improving BrickLink XP and BrickLink Studio.
Lastly, Park revealed that they will soon be announcing the continuation of the BrickLink AFOL Designer Program. There was no details yet but it will be announced later this month. If you remember, the first round allowed AFOLs to design their own set and fans would vote on what they they would like to purchase and pre-order them. Those sets would be then be assembled by BrickLink and shipped out shortly after.
With many products being out of stock in recent weeks, LEGO has rolled out a new in-stock notification on the LEGO Shop. On the product pages for items that labeled as temporarily out of stock, there’s a button that allows you to enter your email for LEGO to notify you when the item is avaialble again. This is good idea since we don’t really know when stuff goes back online again.
LEGO has uploaded the product page for the Series 21 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71029) to the LEGO Shop and we now get to see the packaging for the set. As you can see, the box has indeed shrunk down to 36 packs and is now only two rows of 18. The bags themselves are also slimmer than usual which seem to be part of LEGO’s sustainability effort of reduce waste. We also have the official names of the minifigures in this wave and they are:
• Centaur Warrior
• Shipwreck Survivor
• Pug Costume Guy
• Beekeeper
• Ladybug Girl
• Violin Kid
• Alien
• Space Police Guy
• Ancient Warrior
• Airplane Girl
• Cabaret Singer
• Paddle Surfer
The LEGO Series 21 Collectible Minifigures will be available starting on January 1 for $4.99 per pack.
