LEGO DOTS Coming in March 2020

Way back when, there was a rumor of a new LEGO theme called LEGO DOTS which was supposed to be released last year but it never happened. It looks like the theme will be coming later this year as the LEGO 1HY catalogs show a page stating LEGO DOTS will be coming in March 2020. The page only shows some girls being excited but that’s pretty much the extent of it. It has been widely reported that the theme would be based around buildable LEGO jewelry. Perhaps the Justice partnership could finally be of value as LEGO could sell LEGO DOTS at the stores.

What Classic LEGO Set Would You Like to See Reissued?

It is now 2020 and many of us have been fans of LEGO for many years, some of you even decades. Each year LEGO releases brand new sets and sometimes even new themes, whether it be in-house IP or licensed ones. This is all fine and dandy especially since LEGO’s main audience are kids but what about the adults?

We also are builders but for some of us, we are also collectors. If you’re a collector like I am, I like nostalgia. I like the old stuff that remind me of my childhood. LEGO has released some new sets that harken back to some original sets like the Taj Mahal (10256) and Carousel (10257) but that’s about it for the larger sets. The most recent thing were the LEGO Star Wars – 20th Anniversary Edition sets which were pretty decent.

Fans have been asking for LEGO to do more stuff like this for years but they haven’t budged that much. The hype in recent years is that other toy companies have been releasing new products that resemble the old school toys from our childhood. These companies include NECA, Super7, and Hasbro and they have taken strides to release toys like the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, and Transformers Reissue figures, respectively, and fans have been eating them up like hotcakes. If LEGO would do something similar, there would surely be a market for it.

As you can see above, the one that I want is the Deep Freeze Defender from Ice Planet 2002. Some sets … Continue

It’s already that time when con season will be kicking off soon and the 2020 London Toy Fair will be happening in a few short weeks. LEGO will be attending the event this year and according to the exhibit floor map, LEGO will be again taking up the Olympia Room as well as having a booth on the floor.

For this year, the London Toy Fair will be introducing media badges for both press as well as for influencers so maybe we’ll see some LEGO fan media from across the pond attending this year and if we’re lucky, see some details about future LEGO sets.

LEGOLAND Fire Academy (40393) Now Available at Parks and Discovery Centers

I haven’t talked about this set yet but LEGOLAND parks and Discovery Centers are now selling a new exclusive set called the LEGOLAND Fire Academy (40393). It has 221 pieces and retails for $18. If you’ve been to any LEGOLAND parks, the Fire Academy is a staple attraction at the parks. Attendees are able to ride the fire engine by pumping the crank to the building and shoot some water at window where the “fire” is happening. The past few years, LEGO has been releasing sets that have featured various attractions at the parks. Even though they are technically exclusive to LEGOLAND, some of these sets have made their way to LEGO Brand Stores here in San Diego.

The LEGO Architecture Statue of Liberty (21042) has finally gone on sale for the first time on Amazon. It is now priced at $95.94 which is 20% off the regular price of $119.99. Even if you’re not a fan of the build, you do get a plethora of sand-green parts. The sale drops the price per piece ratio to about $0.05/piece. You can check out my review of the set back in 2018 here.
