Walmart currently has a rollback sale going on for various LEGO sets with some sales that are up to 40% off. The most notable set is the LEGO Boost Droid Commander (75253) coming in at $149.99 which is 25% off and this set doesn’t go on sale very often. Other sets come from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO Hidden Side, and LEGO Harry Potter, just to name a few.
LEGO has officially announced their newest line called LEGO Art. These new sets are in the pop art style and fans can “build” various people and characters into arts of work that you can either lean against a surface or hang them on the wall. There’s even a couple of them that you can combine sets (sold separately) to make a large canvas. In addition, each set also comes with a companion soundtrack that you can listen to while building. I’ve been told that these sets will be intended to be an ongoing evergreen theme.
Each set will retail for $119.99 and the Iron Man one will be available starting on August 1 while the others will be available on September 1. Check out the press release and more images of the sets below.
