LEGO Participating in Batman Day on September 19

August 31, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A short while ago, DC Comics announced Batman Day will be happening on September 19 and it looks like there will be some LEGO related things happening during the event. According to the press release, LEGO will be releasing exclusive Batman products to celebrate the day. There’s no word on what they will be but there’s a rumor going around of a new UCS style 1989 Batwing. LEGO could either announce it then or release it on that day with the announcement being a few days/weeks before. They could also do an event exclusive similar to the DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) or another minifigure giveaway. Of course this is all speculation and we’ll have to wait and see what LEGO has in store.

August 29, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

For those who ordered the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) on Shop@Home, LEGO is now sending out shipping confirmations for the set. I had a few comments come in saying that the status of the set went to “out of stock” and were worried that their order may have been cancelled. I also had the same thing happen to me but I’m happy to see that it was just a minor glitch in the system. If you missed out on it, Target is still selling it but you will need a RedCard to purchase it.
