The Castle in the Forest by poVoq is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The set is inspired by three LEGO Castle sets that were released 30 years ago which were Forestmen’s Hideout (6054), Camouflaged Outpost (6066), and Forestmen’s river Fortress (6077) and they were all combined into one big 2,000 piece set. Some of the play features include areas that open up using hinges.
The project joins Mary Poppins, Cherry Tree Lane, Tesla Cybertruck, Untitled Goose Game, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Train Station: Studgate, SpaceX Falcon 9 (Saturn V Scale), Mini-fig Scale Project Gemini, Retro Bowling Alley, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Bricks & Blooms, Sonic Mania – Green Hill Zone, The Great Fishing Boat, Knight Rider – KITT, and Snow-Groomer PRINOTH LEITWOLF as the projects to reach the First 2020 Review Stage.
The LEGO Classic Green Baseplate (10700) is now currently on sale for 50% off on Amazon. It is priced at only $4.99 each and it pretty much the lowest price it has been at which is a great deal if you’re doing large layouts. Amazon says it is in stock and does have Prime delivery available.
Syfy has released a first look at the upcoming direct-to-home movie LEGO DC: Shazam! – Magic & Monsters. Shazam gets to star in his own LEGO animated movie now and is voiced by Sean Astin. The premise of this movie is that Black Adam and Mr. Mind along with the Monster Society of Evil turn the Justice League into kids. The minifigures even got short legs and there are also vehicles that could be in the LEGO Mighty Micros line if it continued on.
LEGO DC: Shazam! – Magic & Monsters releases this spring and Target is the only place so far you can pre-order it in the US. If you’re in the UK, Amazon has it up as well. If you remember from last year, there was a Shazam (30623) polybag that surfaced online but we didn’t know where it came from or where to get it. Perhaps it could be included in the Digital/Blu-Ray Combo Pack.
