As of this writing, there are an astounding 20 projects that currently qualify for the First 2020 Review Stage. This is the most project that we’ve had hit 10,000 supporters in any stage. This brings up the point of if LEGO needs to pass more sets to become official LEGO Ideas sets or if it’s time for LEGO to bump up the number of supporters needed to qualify. I’ve seen both sides of the argument and both are valid points.
I believe the most projects that went on to pass a particular review stage is three which was from the First 2019 Review Stage. This includes projects that need further evaluation and was brought over to the next review stage. Keep in mind that the number of qualifiers were less than 10.

The LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox (17101) is back on sale again on Amazon for 20% off the regular retail price. It is now at $127.99 or $32 off which is a decent deal for a 5-in-1 electronic set. The 847 piece set did win Tech Toy of the Year back in 2018 and is a good learning tool for kids who want to get into programming and robotics.
Some of the new sets that LEGO has recently released are the LEGO Star Wars Helmets and the first one I want to take a look at is the Boba Fett Helmet (75277). It has 625 pieces and retails for $59.99. It seems to be pretty popular right now as it is already on backorder status as of this writing. The contents of the box include five numbered bags and the instructions.
The official images of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Death Star Battle II (40407) has reportedly been uploaded to LEGO Shop@Home with details of the set. It has 235 pieces and you can get it for free from May 1-4 with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last.
The set features an unfinished Death Star II along with microbuilds of an A-wing and a TIE Interceptor. It also includes a printed tile of the LEGO Star Wars 2020 logo.
