LEGO Hidden Side Amazon Sale – August 2020

With the news of the LEGO Hidden Side rumored to be discontinued at the end of the year, Amazon currently has a lot of sets on sale for larger discounts than before. Some of these sales are the lowest they have been on the site. Considering that we don’t get many LEGO spooky themes, this might be the last time we see the sets for a few years until a new theme is introduced. The summer 2020 wave will be available on LEGO Shop@Home on August 24.

LEGO DC FanDome Supergirl Exclusive Minifigure Sweepstakes This Weekend

DC FanDome is happening this weekend and there is an exclusive LEGO Supergirl minifigure that you can try to win. At 10am PST this Saturday, August 22, head on over to https://www.dccomics.com/dcfandomesweeps to enter the sweepstakes. It will end on 9:59:59am PST on August 23 so there’s plenty of time to enter. According to the official rules, there will be 41 separate sweepstakes drawings held with a 30-40 runner up winners. The grand prize winner will get one along the the runner up winners. It states there are 1,495 LEGO DC FanDome Supergirl minifigure given away so it’s pretty limited. I assume it will be the clamshell style similar to the San Diego Comic Con minifigures. There is a limit of 10 entries per person per drawing so there’s a lot of chances to enter.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Available at Target on August 27

The last few days, we’ve been talking a lot about the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) and where we can get it. As we stated already, it will be on LEGO Shop@Home as it has been listed on the site. We also confirmed that it will not be an “exclusive” set as it was found at a Canadian toy store as well as at Toys R Us Canada. The latest retailer to get it will be Target as they have listed it as a RedCard exclusive. The price is still $39.99 but you get to save 5% on your order if you are a RedCard member. The official launch date is August 27 for Target so mark your calendars. I’m not sure if LEGO Shop@Home will have it available the same day but keep an eye on it.

LEGO Braille Bricks Officially Launches

It may seem like a long time ago but last year LEGO announced they were producing LEGO sets to help visually impaired children learn Braille. After a successful test in different countries and languages, LEGO Braille Bricks has been officially launched. Check out the details below on how to acquire them.

LEGO® Braille Bricks to launch in twenty countries over the next six months following successful pilot program

The LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group roll out the first wave of the program in partnership with local sight loss organizations to help children with vision impairment learn critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration through play.

Billund, August 20th 2020: Today, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group announced the official launch of LEGO Braille Bricks in seven countries, including Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, UK and USA. The program was first unveiled as a pilot project in April 2019 during the Sustainable Brands Conference in Paris, France – home ground of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. Since then, the concept has been tested across various languages and cultural contexts and is ready to launch in six languages, including Danish, Norwegian, English, Portuguese, German and French. Four additional language versions will launch over the next six months, with the ambition that the concept will be implemented in a total of eleven languages across twenty countries by early 2021.

LEGO Braille Bricks introduces a fun and engaging way to help children with vision impairment develop tactile skills and learn the braille system. The bricks are moulded so that the

LEGO x Adidas A-ZX Series Shoe Might be Coming Soon

For those who have been waiting for an officially licensed LEGO shoe, the wait might not be that long. Complex is reporting that LEGO will be doing a collaborative project with Adidas for the Adidas A-ZX series of shoes. The A-ZX series was introduced in 1984 and it is a theme that features special drops from various partners and it looks like LEGO will be part of it. The shoe is said to be released in late September or early October. Sign up over on Adidas’ site for updates on the reveal.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) Amazon Sale (Limit 3) – August 2020

Amazon is currently selling the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 20 (71027) again for $3.44 which is 31% off the retail price. The only bad thing here is that there is a limit of 3 which is a bummer because they had a larger quantity a few months ago. If you’re shopping for other items, it may be worth it to add these to the cart as these are pretty cheap at the moment. You will get random packs and there’s no guarantee that you will get what minifigures you want.

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) Not Exclusive to Shop@Home

A few days ago, I reported that the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) will be available for Shop@Home but it appears that it won’t be an exclusive set. A reader by the name of Fred was able to purchase a set from Benjo which is an independent store in Quebec City, Canada. This is on top of the fact that Toys R Us Canada may be selling it as well. In addition, the listing in the August/September 2020 catalog does not show it as an exclusive or hard to find like with other direct-to-consumer sets. Will it be available at other retailers here in the US, we shall see.
