Target now has the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course (71360) available for pre-order again after selling out a few days ago. It retails for $59.99 but if you have a Target REDcard, you can save $3 when you check out. There are no pre-order bonuses but looking at how fast all the pre-orders have been selling out, you may want to get it just to have it when it releases on August 1.
As you may know, I’ve been updating you guys about the status of LEGO Brand Stores in regards of when they would be opening back up. Most of the US is still under stay-at-home mandates and non-essential businesses still remained closed. I’ve been told, not officially, that the LEGO Stores will now remain closed until the end of April. Their latest update was to have the stores closed at least until April 12 but given the current situation around the world, it seems like that’s no longer the case. I’m going to guess that LEGO will give another update on of after April 12. In the meantime, you can still put in your orders on LEGO Shop@Home however there may be some shipping delays.
Earlier today, we reported that LEGO was helping out with the COVID-19 situation by developing protective eyewear for medical professionals and just now, they have released a video of process. In the video below, molding machines crank out visors and more than 100 employees help assemble and package them up for shipment. Their plan is to expand production of the eyewear to other factories around the world.
The LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course (71360) sold out of their pre-orders on LEGO Shop@Home in a few hours but if you’re still looking for it, Zavvi also has it available with a free gift. Their gift is the Super Mushroom Surprise Expansion Set (30385) which isn’t as big as the Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set (40414) and is just a polybag. Until LEGO puts up more pre-orders on Shop@Home, there are only a few other retailers that offer it including Walmart.
Various companies have been going out of their way to help during the Coronavirus pandemic and LEGO has stepped into the fray as well. Colleagues on the LEGO Ambassador Network has mentioned that the Region of Southern Denmark (Syddanmark) Facebook Page has posted images of a new protective eyewear that LEGO developed for medical professionals to use as part of their personal protective equipment. Currently organizations such as the Odense University Hospital and Sygehus Lillebælt have been using them and so far it’s been working well and have become part of their regular equipment.
It may not seem like a lot to us but for the medical profession, it’s invaluable at this point. You may remember that LEGO also launched a couple of campaigns last week to help with the COVID-19 situation including donating $50 million to support children in need. It’s good to see companies using their time and resources to help out others when they don’t really have to.
There are now official images of the LEGO Super Mario Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set (40414) gift-with-purchase set on Shop@Home. The set has 163 pieces and you can get it for free with a pre-order of the Adventures with Mario Starter Course (71360) on S@H which is now temporarily sold out. The set features Monty Mole along with Stone-Eye and a Super Mushroom which you can use to expand on the Starter Course. If you’re still looking to pre-order the Starter Course, Walmart still has it available.
Amazon currently has a coupon for $10 off the LEGO Ideas Friends Central Perk (21319). This equates to about 17% off the regular price of $59.99 when you apply the coupon. This coupon also makes the set the lowest price the set has been at. If you remember from earlier this year, Central Perk was very popular and it was sold out and went on backorder status for a few months.
