The Pursuit of Flight by JKBrickworks is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features two planes flying using a crank mechanism on the side which you can check out in the video below.
The project now joins UCS Space Shuttle Atlantis, Thunderbirds Are Go, and Gravity Falls Mystery Shack as the projects to reach the Second 2019 Review Stage.
Last week, I reported that the US will be getting the LEGO Stranger Things Castle Byers building event this month and today LEGO has confirmed it through their email campaign. We now have the date of it which is June 25 and registration is required. It didn’t say when registration starts but I was told it starts tomorrow, June 10. I’m still trying to confirm it. If anyone registered in store today, let us know in the comments below.
Newsweek has launched a new LEGO special edition magazine called LEGO – Celebrating The World’s Favorite Toy. The issue features interviews some some senior executives including CEO Niels B. Christiansen and Vice President of Innovation William Thorogood about their experiences with the company and their plans for creating a more sustainable future. The magazine also has some spreads LEGO sets and minifigures from LEGO’s vast history. It is now available for purchase online and in stores. Thanks to Emily for sending over some images of the magazine.
If you’re attending Brickworld Chicago next weekend, it has been announced that you’ll be able to play a demo of the new LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed mobile game there. Again, we don’t know what this game is about besides that it is a RPG using LEGO minifigures which is the first LEGO game of this genre.
Amazon has a great deal going on for the LEGO City Ambulance Helicopter (60179). It is currently at $11.99 which is 40% off the regular price of $19.99. This is an older set that was released in 2017 and it could be close to retiring soon as the summer 2019 wave of LEGO City sets will be coming out in a few months.
LEGO has revealed the second LEGO Marvel Super Heroes promotional art print that will be available with purchases. The print is illustrated by Andrea Divito and Laura Villari and it features the Avengers fighting Thanos during Endgame. It is not totally accurate to the film as it mostly shows the minifigures from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Endgame sets. This is the second of three LEGO Marvel art prints that you’ll be able to get with the first one being from Captain Marvel from a few months ago.
According to Shop@Home, it will be available from June 10-16 with purchases of $35 or more in LEGO Marvel products, while supplies last. The purchase minimum in other countries are as follows: £35//$60 (AU)/$65 (NZ)/35€ /910 Kč/11435 Ft/40 CHF/260 kr. (DK)/335 kr (NO)/360 kr (SE)/155 zł/$35 (CAD).
Thanks to Simon for the heads up.
Last year, LEGO announced they will be collaborating with the popular Swedish furniture IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. After that announcement, we really didn’t hear much about it ever since but recently, IKEA put out a press release to announce BYGGLEK which are some new products coming out in 2020 to stimulate play around the home. Although LEGO is geared towards kids, BYGGLEK will cater towards everyone, kids and adults alike. There’s not much else revealed from the press release but I’m sure more details will emerge by the end of the year.
