LEGO Ideas has yet kicked off another building contest and this time, it is Ghostbusters related. All you have to do is to building scary, spooky, or disgusting ghosts that the Ghostbusters can catch.

If you’ve ordered the LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904) on the LEGO Shop a few days ago, you may want to keep an eye on your order. I believe orders are being shipped out but I’ve also been told by several people their orders were being cancelled even though they placed their orders early. I was told that the set was sold out in about 20 minutes and they sold twice as many sets as they had available. If your order did get cancelled, try reaching out to LEGO Customer Service to share your feedback.
If you’re still looking for it, I suggest watching the Amazon page as there has been small restocks at the retail price of $39.99 the past few days, latest one being a few hours ago as of this post.
The LEGO Technic Facebook page has put up a teaser video for a new LEGO Technic McLaren set coming soon. Rumors from a few months ago has a 2021 set coming out with the McLaren Senna GTR (42123) which has 830 pieces and retailing for €49.99. It’s interesting to see the amount of pieces going into a Technic set for at that price point if it’s true. If there’s a teaser, that usually means the announcement of the set should be coming soon so stay tuned.
