Yesterday I reported that we could soon be seeing the LEGO Harry Potter The Monster Book of Monsters (30628) on the LEGO Shop and at LEGO Brand Stores and I can now confirm that we will indeed be getting next month. I’ve been told it’ll be available all January with purchases of $75 in LEGO Harry Potter products, while supplies last. It’ll be pretty easy to get if you’re planning on getting the new LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments sets.
The Viking Village by BrickHammer is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas.

The project now joins the Boeing 737 Passenger Plane, Colosseum (Architecture Style), Gravity Falls: The Mystery Shack, Brick Town Police Station, , Red Dwarf Starbug, Avatar: The Last Airbender – YIP YIP!, Classic Castle, Open MRI, Motorized Lighthouse, Avatar: The Illuminated World of Pandora, Spirited Away, Jumanji of 1995, Auto Union Type C Racecar, Automated Garbage Truck, The Car Wash, Wallace & Gromit, Among Us: The Skeld, Roman Warship, The Addams Family Mystery Mansion, and GMC – Blue Chip 100 [1957] as the ones that have reached the Third 2020 Review Stage.
The LEGO Technic Land Rover Defender (42110) is back on sale again at Amazon for 20% off the regular price. It is now priced at $159.99 which is a savings of $40 and that’s significant deal for a licensed Technic set. The only downside is that it’ll arrive after Christmas. Make sure you choose the Frustration-Free Packaging to get the deal. Thanks to JS for the heads up.
Next up on my reviews of the LEGO Ninjago Legacy sets is the Overlord Dragon (71742) which is from Season 2 of LEGO Ninjago. It has 372 pieces and retails for $29.99. The set is based on Episode 26: Rise of the Spinjitzu Master.
