Wall of History has announced that they have reached an agreement to acquire Brickshelf. If you were not familiar with the news, Brickshelf owner Kevin Loch sadly passed away and his estate stated that they would be shutting the site down. Shortly after the announcement, there was a lot of interest in keeping the site going and it looks like the estate has made an agreement with Wall of History to keep it alive.
The transfer of ownership will be in April and with the help with the help from the folks at Mask of Destiny, the site will remain online with full functionality. Wall of History is a web archive of the history of LEGO BIONICLE.
Brickshelf was one of the OGs in LEGO photo sharing for MOCs as well as building instructions and we’re glad to see that Kevin’s legacy will go on.

A few weeks ago, we reported that the LEGO House will have an exclusive product launch at the end of the month. LEGO Designer Stuart Harris has posted a teaser of the set with bags 11 and 13. We can guess that it’ll be a fairly large set since there are at least 13 bags consisting of a variety of yellow and green parts. As of this post, there are only a few tickets left for the Friday event and Saturday has been sold out. If want to attend the Friday event, I wouldn’t wait to get tickets.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the BrickLink Designer Program Series 7 fan vote is now live and you can choose what sets you want to see made. The fan vote actually started a few days ago and it will be ending on February 21. From then until March 17, BrickLink will review the top ones and will announce the final five designs. As of this post, there are 375 to choose from so it’ll take a while to sift though. Voting consists of choosing between the three emojis specifying “not of me”, “like it”, and “love it”.
If you want to expand your LEGO City airport, Amazon currently has a deal for the Fire Rescue Plane (60413). There’s no discount on it but there is a coupon that you can apply during checkout that saves you $10.96 on it. This drops the price down to only $43.99 which is about a 20% discount. The Fire Rescue Plane hasn’t had a significant discount since Black Friday so any deal on it is a good one.
