It now joins The Mountain Windmill, Community – Greendale Community College, and LEGO HeroQuest as the projects to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.
A few days ago, we reported on some new expansion packs for the LEGO Super Mario theme that customizes the Mario device. Instead of having a site leak them on accident, LEGO has just revealed the four sets on their social media pages. Each of them has different abilities that can be used and requires the Starter Course (71360) since it is the only set that has the Mario figure. They will be available starting on August 1.
Fire Suit Mario (71370)
Propeller Mario (71371)
Cat Mario (71372)
Builder Mario (71373)

The LEGO Fairground Collection Haunted House (10273) is now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home for VIPs. The set retails for $249.99 and it has 3,231 pieces. One of the main features of the Haunted House is the free-fall tower ride in the back. Remember that if you want to motorize the ride, you’ll need the Powered Up Hub (88009) and two Medium Motor (88008).
It’s Christmas in the spring as Amazon has the LEGO City 2019 Advent Calendar (60235) on sale for 37% off the retail price. This is the lowest price it has been at in a few months and only second to the deeper sale it had at the beginning of the year. The set has 234 pieces and it has seven minifigures including Santa Claus. Since the box doesn’t really label it for 2019, it can be used in the future as well.
Today, we are looking at some LEGO products that are not your standard bricks you can build with but some newly released stationery products from Chronicle Books. First off, we have the LEGO Brick Erasers which retail for $15.95 for a pack of eight and the come packaged in a nice little pull-out holder. They are stylized in the classic 2×4 bricks and have a more pastel hue to them instead of your traditional colors. They aren’t connectable because there are no holes at the bottom but they do have the LEGO logo on the studs. I guess this is a good compromise because they are erasers and they would disappear more quickly if there were holes.
LEGO Education and the First LEGO League has announced their 2020-2021 season theme and it is called RePLAY. The tasks for this theme is health, sports, and fitness. There are also some new sets to be used for each division which you can see below.
… ContinueLEGO® Education and FIRST® are excited to unveil RePLAY, the new 2020-2021 FIRST® LEGO® League season theme, with a short video on social media. For the new season, students will complete tasks related to health, sports, and fitness. Team registration for all three age divisions is now open for the season launching on August 4, 2020.
Once again, students will be tasked with completing a challenge designed in partnership with a panel of experts using a variety of LEGO Education products, including LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3, and the newest LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Prime Expansion set.
A keen eye may notice that with the new season, FIRST LEGO League is introducing a simplified program structure with three divisions: Challenge (ages 9-14), Explore (ages 6-10), and Discover (ages 4-6). While the branding will change, the program’s impact and experience remain the same. Through the three divisions of FIRST® LEGO® League the 2020-2021 PLAYMAKERS and RePLAY season will reach nearly 500,000 children, ages 4 to 16, from 100+ countries.
I recently heard an incredible story that highlights the lasting impact of FIRST LEGO League and how the skills participants learn extend well beyond the season. Started by a New Jersey FLL coach, a network of students, coaches
Brickset has revealed some new LEGO Minifigure Accessory Sets that will be available starting on June 1 including Avengers and Harry Potter. Since they are licensed sets, I’m guessing they will retail for $14.99 each. The Avengers Minifigure Set (40418) has 60 pieces and it includes minifigures of Falcon, Black Widow, and two A.I.M. agent along with a six round stud shooter.
The other one is the LEGO Harry Potter Minifigure Accessory Set (40419) and it will have 53 pieces. It includes minifigs of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Hannah Abbot, and Cho Chang, each representing a character from each house of Hogwarts.
