LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Over on the LAN, LEGO Chief Marketing Officer Julia Goldin has shared a message with the LEGO community. She has taken time to reflect on the current global situation and shares how the AFOL community is important to her and to LEGO in general, especially the events that are supposed to be going on around the world. It’s nice to see higher ups take time to make candid videos and sharing their thoughts.
The June 2020 LEGO Store Calendar is now available and we can see some of the promotions and events that will be happening during the month. There’s actually not much going in June
June 1: LEGO Fairground Collection Haunted House (10273) available for the general public.
June 1-21: Free LEGO Creator Hot Rod (40409) with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last.
For the first time, LEGO is selling their LEGO Education line on Shop@Home which includes SPIKE Prime (45678) and WeDo 2.0. These sets were originally for educators but since more kids are staying home these days, parents can use the Education sets to teach them about coding and programming. For the younger kids, there’s also the DUPLO sets that introduces them to the world of STEAM through creative play.
If you know Adam Savage from Tested/Mythbusters, you would know that he’s a big LEGO fan. His recent video on his Tested channel lets you see how he sorts his collection. Since he’s more of the hands-on DIY kind of person, he doesn’t resort to the usual storage solutions like Akro-Mils but instead he goes and builds his own system. On the same note, Brickset has been interviewing members of the LEGO community of how they do their storage which are some pretty good reads and it gives ideas on how to improve on your storage system.
A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the summer 2020 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets and today Yahoo has shown off the official images of them. The sets will be available in June.
Brickset’s database bas been updated with some new LEGO xtra products that you may be interested in. LEGO is rolling out some new LEGO xtra Tape that you can use for certain layouts including Roads (854048) and Water (854065). Both are 49 ft in length and you can cut them to your desired length. I’m not sure if the back side is the sticky kind of tape but I’m guessing they will be reusable. Both also comes with a number of accessories as well.
Brickset has just revealed a brand new line coming out soon called LEGO Brick Sketches. As you can see from the images, they look very familiar. That is because the designer for these sketches is Chris McVeigh. You may have seen his work a few years ago before he was hired by LEGO and now his idea has became official sets.
As for the LEGO Brick Sketches, there are four sets in the initial wave including Batman (40386), First Order Stormtrooper (40391), The Joker, (40428), and BB-8 (40431). There’s no word on pricing or when they will be available but I’m guessing these are the August 1 summer wave sets.
