LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Back at the New York Toy Fair, Chronicle Books showed off some new LEGO jigsaw puzzles that would be available this year and they’ve finally put them up for pre-order on Amazon. All of the three new ones will be available on October 27 and they retail for $17.95 each which isn’t too bad for 1,000 piece puzzles.
LEGO has recently released a new seasonal set with the Winter Snowball Fight (40424). It has 149 pieces and retails for $12.99. Most of us really like the vignette type sets for the seasonal ones but this one is more of a play set filled with separate things.
The Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Course by The Real Ashnflash is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you played video games during the past few weeks, Fall Guys has been one of the most, if not, popular games online. The most amusing part for me was watching TimTheTatMan trying to win his first crown. The build is a race course comprised of various sections that you can find in the game and it also proposed a number of Fall Guys as well.

The Ratatouille: ReOpen The Doors! by BRICK PROJECT is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is an updated version of the first one which did not get approved in the latest review stage announcement. This new version has two modular sections for the kitchen and the restaurant areas.

A week ago Black Panther star, Chadwick Boseman, passed away which was a shock for the whole world and to honor him, The Brick Show Shop is offering free building instructions for a LEGO Black Panther statue. It was designed by Tyler Clites, who along with his wife, was the winner of LEGO Masters.
In the download, you’ll be getting PDF building instructions along with a parts list complete with BrickLink part numbers and quantities as well as an .io file to create a BrickLink Want List to order the required parts. The whole zip file is 34.3 MB.
A few days ago, LEGO put some items up on the LEGO VIP Reward Center and they were items that were actually worthy of being collector’s items. To celebrate the release of the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978), there were some signed Harry Potter sets signed by James and Oliver Phelps who played Fred and George Weasley in the movies.
The sets included the Attack of the Burrow (75980), Hedwig (75979), Hogwarts Astronomy Tower (75969), and Hogwarts Express (75955) and the points needed to get them ranged from 7,800 to 16,800. Not surprisingly, all of them are now sold out since many people have been hoarding points and waiting for something good to show up. Those who were at the right place at the right time were able to get them easily since LEGO really didn’t announce it and I’m okay with that. I can also see the other side of the coin where fans who wanted the items weren’t able to get it because they didn’t know about it. I actually didn’t know about it someone pointed it out to me.
I believe this this the first time that LEGO has offered an item of substantial amount and I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last time they do it so keep an eye out on major releases to see if they added anything new.
It’s not really a surprise but the LEGO BrickHeadz Hagrid & Buckbeak (40412) gift with purchase two pack is now sold out on LEGO Shop@Home. It actually sold out halfway through the day on the 1st and that’s pretty fast considering the fairly high threshold needed to get it. Obviously, getting Diagon Alley (75978) was the easiest way to get one since you needed $100 purchase of LEGO Harry Potter products. LEGO Brand Stores could potentially still have some left but chances are pretty slim. Currently, it is going for about $40-$50 on the secondary market which is a bummer if you missed out on it.
