The promotion for the LEGO DOTS Mini Frame (30556) is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. From now until March 22, you can get the polybag with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last. The Mini Frame will go well with the rest of the LEGO DOTS lineup which was officially launched last week. The promotion also runs alongside the LEGO Trains 40th Anniversary Set (40370) with purchases of $99 or more. LEGO rarely doubles up on promotions so get on it while you can.
Last year, I reported that the LEGO House will be holding an event called From AFOL to LEGO Designer which was supposed to be happening this Friday. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, LEGO has announced through the LEGO Ambassador Network that the event will be postponed to 2021. Fans who have already booked their trip will unfortunately be stuck with a sticky situation.
The fan event was intended for fans to meet and greet three LEGO designers Mark John Stafford, Justin Ramsden, and Marcos Bessa. We’ll update with more information as soon as there are more details for the 2021 event.
The decision was not taken light hearted but was necessary due to the Corona Virus situation and the to this connected internal LEGO Group guidelines.
We will postpone this fan evening to 2021.
Yesterday, the LEGO Technic team shared a teaser video of The Stig from Top Gear working on a secret project. The first half of the video shows him driving a green Porsche 911 GT3 RS. If you pause the video when he shows the passport, it shows a date of April 31 so that could be a clue, possibly for a reveal or a release date.
Earlier this year, LEGO did announce a LEGO Fast & Furious partnership and there’s a chance that it could be the blue Porsche from Fast Five. I’m just making guesses but the connections are somewhat there. The only thing that doesn’t mesh up is that the press release for the LEGO Technic Fast & Furious set will be available on April 27.
There are now some box art images of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars bust sets coming out of Brunai-based store Toy Santa. The two sets feature the Stormtrooper (75276) and Boba Fett (75277) and they are reported to be priced at $69.99. I do like the look of the boxes and they do state that the ages are intended to be 18+. These should be widely available unlike the Darth Vader and Sith Trooper from previous conventions.
The LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) is now available at Target and if you’re a RedCard member, you can save an additional 5% off. The Batmobile has been a very popular set since it was released last year and I’m a little surprised to see it over at Target. A 5% discount isn’t much but saving $12 on it and get free shipping is better than nothing unless you have a lot of LEGO VIP points to spend.
The LEGO Architecture Tokyo Skyline (21051) is currently on sale on Amazon. It is priced at $47.99 which is 20% off and this is the first time the set has been on sale on the site. This is one of the more popular Skyline sets from the theme and it features some of the more recognizable locations from Tokyo including Tokyo Tower, Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo Skytree, Chidorigafuchi Park, Shibuya Crossing.
Amazon has updated their product listing for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Magical Treasury: A Visual Guide to the Wizarding World to include more images and it reveals the exclusive minifigure that will be coming with the book. The additional pages show that the minifigure will be Tom Riddle from The Chamber of Secrets in which he will be wearing his Hogwarts uniform. I think this is a good minifigure considering that this is only the second Tom Riddle minifigure for the LEGO Harry Potter line and an updated version of him. The book itself will be available in July but you can pre-order it now for $21.99 with the pre-order price guarantee.
