LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) Roof Updated

December 10, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you purchased the LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) early on, the roof on the cockpit used a matte 6×6 tile which also shows a unsightly injection point in the middle. LEGO has recently updated the set quietly on the building instructions and has changed out the part out for three 2×6 tiles (Part 6318582) to give it a sleeker look which is more consistent with the rest of the vehicle.

If you have the set already, you can contact customer service to see if they will be able to offer you the parts. The tile is a new piece for 2020 as it was introduced with the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) and the LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street (21324). You can also purchase it on Bricks & Pieces for $0.29 each. If you are able to purchase the 1989 Batmobile when it is back in stock, you’ll most likely get the updated parts and instructions.

December 9, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Shop Europe has recently updated their Retiring Soon list and there are some sets you may think of picking up before they go away by the end of the year. Although they aren’t listed on the North American, I believe it’ll be the same for over here.

Some of the more notable sets that will be leaving soon include the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) and the LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220). Also on the list are some older LEGO Hidden Side sets and the legacy Power Functions components.

Although a lot of the products are out of stock and sold out, I suggest searching at other retailers to see if they have them in stock like on Amazon.

Today, the LEGO Group has committed to reducing its absolute carbon emissions by 37% by 2032 to ensure the company plays its part in limiting the effects of climate change. The target has been approved by the Science Based Target initiative as consistent with levels required to keep global warming to below 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

The company’s target covers emissions from its own operations which equates to 10% of total emissions and includes energy use in its factories, offices and stores, and from its supply chain which equates to 90% of emissions including areas such as raw materials and distribution.

Tim Brooks, VP, Environmental Responsibility, said: “Climate change poses one of the biggest risks to society and the planet that our children will inherit. We are committed to building a better planet for future generations and that means stepping up efforts to reduce carbon emissions across our entire value chain.”

Could Rejected LEGO Ideas Projects be Coming to BrickLink?

December 7, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has been working more and more with BrickLink, whom they’ve acquired late last year, and putting in resources to help both companies. Recently, they have released a survey asking LEGO fans if they are members of BrickLink and know about LEGO Ideas.

Help us realize more fan creations!

The LEGO Group and BrickLink want to realize more fan creations for the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community.

As part of this, we are investigating opportunities that the AFOL community has brought forward to see if there’s actually an appetite for these kinds of ideas and to investigate its feasibility.

Please help us by filling out this explorative survey. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete. Your participation matters greatly because it improves our ability to do more for you, whether you are a BrickLink seller, buyer, fan designer, or any combination of them!

In the blurb, they state that both companies want to realize more fan creations for AFOLs and are looking at opportunities to do that. From the looks of what they are asking, it seems that they could be bringing some LEGO Ideas projects to BrickLink, referring to the projects that did not pass the review stage.

Let’s say that a project you voted for was not seleceted for production by the LEGO Group. How would you feel if the project was realized through the BrickLink site instead?

Since the support is already there for the most part in terms of the number of supporters achieved for a particular project, BrickLink … Continue
