LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71028) Series 2 Box Distribution Completely Random

August 29, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Series 2 LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71028) officially releases in a few days but if you’re planning to purchase a full box, there’s a warning that you should know about. Usually we can expect three complete sets per box for a particular series, but things have changed for this wave. There are multiple reviews online now and we can pretty much confirm that the box distribution is completely random.

Some fan media sites like Brickset and Promobricks has opened full boxes and what they got were very different from each other. For example, Brickset got seven Griphooks while Promobricks got zero Ron Weasley minifigures and eight Hermione. Over on YouTube, an example is that someone got five Neville minifigures.

This is the first time since I’ve gotten back in the hobby that I can not report on a set distribution rate for the minifigures because I simply can’t. I don’t know why LEGO changed it but this change could affect future minifigures series as well. If you’re looking to get them, I suggest purchasing a complete set from an independent shop or if you can safely do it, feel for them yourselves individually.

LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292) Set Name Change Coming to North America?

August 28, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few readers have noticed that the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292) has been removed from Shop@Home. This probably means that there might a set name change coming soon for it like with the European versions of the set which is now called The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport. In Europe, the term “Razor Crest” isn’t trademarked by Lucasfilms but by Michael Gaßmann who owns a site called Modbrix which is using the term to sell a MOC of the Razor Crest.

There could be a lengthy legal battle going on in Europe between Lucasfilms and Modbrix for the use of the term and LEGO may simply not deal with it and just change the name to something more generic. This name change may have a ripple effect on the North American version of the set as well and hence the product page takedown. I wouldn’t be too surprised if the page comes back up in a day or two with the new set name. Note that Amazon still has their product listing up with the Razor Crest name.

Update: It looks like North America will indeed have the name change. Below is an image of the US pre-order on Shop@Home which has the new set name. Thanks to Mike for the image.

LEGO Unikitty TV Series Ends

August 27, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Cartoon Network has aired the final episode of Unikitty with a two-part finale called The Birthday to End All Birthdays. If you remember from last year, it was reported that Cartoon Network didn’t pick up the series for another season but that was rebuked by the showrunners. There was a gaps between airings of episodes in the last two seasons, nine months in season two and four months in the last season. I’m not sure if it was Cartoon Network or the show itself that caused those delays.

All in all, there were 104 total episodes of Unikitty that aired between 2017 until now. There is a niche group of dedicated fans of the show which probably kept it going longer than expected. There were eight LEGO sets that were released for the show along with a series of Unikitty blind bags.

August 27, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It looks like LEGO Shop@Home is done doing pre-orders for the LEGO DC Fandome Wonder Woman (77906) exclusive set. The link that allowed you to place pre-orders for it has been removed from the product page. It has been up since Saturday but if you missed out on it, Walmart is still taking orders for it. Both sites says it will ship out on October 1 which is still pretty far out for an exclusive that was supposed to have taken place last month.

August 27, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just a short time after the gameplay trailer for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, we were sent a press release for the game which includes some additional information that wasn’t talked about during the reveal. There will indeed be a Deluxe Edition of the game which includes the Character Collection Bundle Pack. This pack has six DLC character packs for The Mandalorian, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and more.

Furthermore, the physical copies of the Deluxe Edition will have an exclusive LEGO minifigure of Luke Skywalker with Blue Milk. The packaging for the case is also cool because it shows Darth Vader and his mask coming off when you take off the slipcover. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be available in Spring 2021.
