The next set I’ll be taking a look at for the new LEGO Star Wars Helmets is the TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet (75274). It has 724 pieces which is the most out of the three helmets but at the same price point of $59.99. The contents of the box include six numbered bags, a small sticker sheet, the instructions, and two loose tubes.
The LEGO Friends summer 2020 sets have slowly been revealed online and the next one shown off is from Jouéclub is the Tiger Hot Air Balloon Jungle Rescue (41423). It has 302 pieces and it is also another set that supports the National Geographic Explorers similiar to the Ocean Explorers sets from the LEGO City sets. You can also check out the other two LEGO Friends sets that have been revealed here.
Norwegian online shop Skvis Arena has posted some listings of the summer 2020 LEGO Ninjago sets. The images are low quality and a bit hard to see but there will be some new Spinjitzu Burst sets coming along with more sets from the Legacy line as well as sets for the current storyline. This is only a partial list. Thanks to C for the heads up.
If you’re wanting to get the Series 20 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71027), you may want to know that Amazon is currently selling them for only $3.44 each. This is 31% off the normal retail price of $4.99. There is a limit of 3 per order but who’s to say you can’t make multiple orders.
Update: It’s only 3 per account purchase limit. It’s not much but it’s better than nothing. Walmart stores also has the same deal but you’ll have to go out and find them.
The LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Rex-treme Offroader! (70826) is currently on sale on Amazon for $16.99 which is 43% off the regular price. The main draw here is the dark blue raptor but you also get a decent number of dark blue and lime green parts. This is also a 3-in-1 set that allows you to build the Rex-o-saurus Quad or Execu-Rex-o-saurus.
Last year when LEGO acquired BrickLink, they also got Sohobricks as part of the deal. Unfortunately, a large investment in resources would be needed to sustain the business and to run it efficiently. Therefore, LEGO has decided to shut down Sohobricks at the end of May. BrickLink is still a priority for the company and they will continue to work on that platform and will be sharing updates when possible.
… ContinueIn December 2019 we bought Sohobricks as part of our acquisition of Bricklink. Since then we have been working closely with the Sohobricks team to understand their business and operations. As part of this review, we found that a very significant investment would be needed to create a sustainable business and upgrade manufacturing operations to run efficiently and meet our operational standards.
Unfortunately, such a large investment is simply not commercially viable. As a result, we have made the extremely difficult decision to close Sohobricks from the end of May 2020. We will now focus on supporting Sohobricks’ employees. There are currently 34 people working in the business and we will provide them with financial packages that reflect their years of service and are above the statutory requirements. We will also offer a professional outplacement service that will provide financial advice and assistance in finding a new job.
We would like to thank the Sohobricks team for all that they have done. We know this will be a difficult time for them and we are committed to doing what we can to help them through this.
LEGO has sent over an announcement saying that some LEGO House exclusives will be made available on LEGO Shop@Home in May.

The Covid-19 situation is closing down many great activities, and LEGO® House has had to extend its closing period until further notice.

The three products are:

Tree of Creativity. 4000026. (Launched March 2018)

We are planning to have the sets available on www.LEGO.com from early May, 2020. The LEGO House Tree of Creativity and LEGO House Dinosaurs are on limited distribution to UK, DK, and IE only and we expect to have a purchase limit for each customer. Please notice that this is a limited time offer until LEGO House re-opens and the sets are only available while supplies last. As the LEGO House Tree of Creativity is a discontinued set,
