New LEGO City Road System Rumored for 2021

September 19, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

You may have seen this on social media but in case you haven’t yet, there is a rumor that LEGO will be using a new road system for City layouts. Currently, a majority of builders are using the road plates but there is speculation that the new system will be built using tile pieces on a baseplate.

Obviously using this new road system (60304) will be challenging due to the fact that the roads will be taller than the usual road plates and it won’t be compatible with the modular builds as well. LEGO did say something about the new LEGO City road system:

We reached out to the LEGO City team yesterday about this to determine if it is a rumor or a leak. Understanding how prevalent and widely used road baseplates are by AFOLs, it is like that if a change coming, there is likely an explanation or thoughts on why a change like this would happen. Lets see what LEGO City has to say but then again, this could be months before they planned to announce something so it could take some time.

Right now, the existing road plates are on sale at Amazon at slightly discounted prices if you want to stock up in case LEGO is indeed switching over next year.

Curve and Crossroad (60237) – $11.99/20% off

LEGO Confirms Retired LEGO Ideas Sets Relaunching With New Set Numbers

September 18, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, there were rumors of some recently retired LEGO Ideas sets that would be coming back but with different set numbers. The two sets are the NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) and the Ship in a Bottle (21313). Word has it that they were very popular and would be coming back with set numbers 92176 and 92177, respectively.

LEGO has confirm that those two particular sets will be relaunching and have also given a short statement of why they will be doing it. Note that the agreements with the two fan designers will remain the same and they will still get royalties from the sales.

From the LEGO Ideas team:

The two sets are being re-launched due to popular demand, and as they had already left the market, we could not keep the original numbers. The agreements with the Fan Designers remain unchanged.

Also: one of the new set numbers matches a fan designer’s birthday. They were both very involved in the process.
