LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Classified as Event Item

August 25, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We just got confirmation that the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) is also classified as an event item and therefore won’t be available outside of North America. This set is a Star Wars Celebration 2020 exclusive which was meant to be sold at the convention but since it has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, LEGO will have to sell their stock somewhere.

LEGO Shop@Home will starting selling the set on August 27 which was supposed to be the first day of Star Wars Celebration but Target will have it for sale a day early which will be tomorrow. There’s no set time of when Target will launch it but it is usually in the mornings. Also the one at Target is a RedCard exclusive so you’ll need their card to be able to purchase it. I’ll try to post when it goes live but if not, keep an eye on my social media channels. For you Canadian fans, places that I heard will be selling it are Benjo and Toys R Us Canada. Again if you are able to, try to help out your fellow overseas LEGO fan since they can’t secure one as easily.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Classified as Event Item

August 24, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a statement regarding the LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) set which went on sale this past weekend here in the US. The set is classified as an “event item” and not a regional exclusive. It was indeed supposed to be a San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusive and DC FanDome was a way for LEGO to sell the set but fans were disappointed that it would not be sold outside of the US. LEGO has also updated the wording on Shop@Home to clarify it as well. Pre-orders can still be placed on it at Shop@Home and on Walmart.com and it will ship on October 1.

There’s no word yet on if the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) is classified as an event item as well but I’m guessing it will be.

It turns out this set was originally going to be the 2020 San Diego Comic Con exclusive. Since that SDCC was canceled they found this weekends event provided a relevant opportunity to release the set. While the new virtual DC event was global, the product was not produced to be global and will therefore only be available to be in the US. There was consideration that this appeared to be a regional exclusive set but it is actually an event item. The set is also being sold on Walmart.com but this appears to be US shipping limitation as well.

LEGO has started teasing the reveal of the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978) and in regional emails, there was also a sneak peek of one of the exclusive minifigures in the set. ~~In the UK emails, it looks like Daily Prophet Photographer was shown off. The US version of the email does not show it at all.~~ This is one of the four new exclusive minifigures that will be found in Diagon Alley.

The official announcement of Diagon Alley (75978) will be on Monday, August 31 and I’m hearing the set will be released on September 1.
