LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
In my last review of the LEGO Ninjago 2021 Legacy sets, we have the largest set in the wave with Zane’s Titan Mech Battle (71738). It comes in at 840 pieces and retails for $59.99. This set is an update to the Titan Mech Battle (70737) from 2015 but it takes away Bansha’s Ghost Mech and puts everything into Zane’s mech.
LEGO has kicked off a new sports related building contest over on LEGO Ideas called We Love Sports!. All you have to do is to build something that is sport oriented that is between 50 and 3,000 pieces and can’t be too related to official LEGO sports products. The Grand Prize Winner will get the following:
• A custom LEGO trophy
• All LEGO Ideas Products released in 2020:
• 21321 International Space Station
• 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay
• 21323 Grand Piano
• 21324 123 Sesame Street
• The next LEGO Ideas set to launch…to be revealed later
• LEGO Ideas tote bag
The deadline to enter is February 8 at 6am EST.
The LEGO Chinese New Year 2021 sets will be available early January and they seem to be a hit so far with fans. LEGO has released a new video showing off one of the sets and at the end, they showed some gift with purchase items that you can get when you purchase the sets. As you can see above, you can get a LEGO Lunar New Year Pagoda and a Lunar New Year Lantern when you buy both the Story of Nian (80106) and Spring Lantern Festival (80107).
The video didn’t say where the promotion will be happening but these little promo items usually aren’t available in North America. I’ll be really surprised if LEGO does make it available here. We’ll see once LEGO publishes the Store Calendar, hopefully this week, if those items will be on it. I’m pretty sure the Year of the Ox (40417) set will be a promo item for January to celebrate the release of the sets.

There are some new LEGO sets that have been revealed to be retiring soon according to some images from our local LEGO Brand Store. The oldest set on the list is the Assembly Square which was released back in 2017. Unfortunately, they are all temporarily out of stock on the LEGO Shop so the best chance to get them is at the LEGO Store at this point. Try using the Check Store Stock feature on the product pages to see if your local store has it in stock. Thanks to John for the heads up.
• LEGO Creator Assembly Square (10255) – LEGO Shop | Amazon (In-stock)
• LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) – LEGO Shop | Amazon (3rd Party)
• LEGO Ideas Dinosaur Fossils (21320) – LEGO Shop | Amazon (3rd Party)
If you have been wanting to pick up the LEGO Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Troopers (75280) set, Amazon currently has it available again for purchase at retail price. The only issue is that it won’t be in stock until January 12. It’s a tradeoff to guarantee the set since it’s still hard to find anything in stores and online at retail price. Since its release back in August, I still haven’t seen this set on store shelves in my area.
LEGO has kicked off a new tradition they are starting called LEGO Build Day. If it continues, it’ll happen on December 26 and basically it is just building whatever you like. LEGO would like you to share your creations online using the hashtag #LEGOBuildDay and your build may be shared by LEGO’s social media team. Although you can build whatever you want, LEGO is more likely to share your builds if they are original ideas.
Happy LEGO Build Day! Today is all about celebrating your awesome creations! Share your builds using #LEGOBuildDay and we may feature them for LEGO fans around the world to see! pic.twitter.com/PYalM9wfqP

The LEGO City Passenger Train (60197) is back on sale again on Amazon for 20% off. It is now priced at $137.99 and will ship in February 2021. It’s a long wait but the sale doesn’t happen very often so it’s worth it for some. You’ll have to choose the Frustration-Free Packaging to get the deal which means that it’ll ship in the LEGO shipping boxes.
