LEGO Year of the Rat (40355) Promotion Coming January 13-26

December 22, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you didn’t see the January 2020 LEGO Store Calendar, we will be getting another Chinese New Year set with the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355). You will be able to get it from January 13-26 with purchases of $80 or more which is a little bit lower than previous years’ threshold of $88.

Technically, this will be the seventh zodiac animal that has been released by LEGO but only the fourth that has been widely available on Shop@Home. The Snake, Sheep, and Monkey were previously Asia exclusives so hopefully LEGO will remake them for the mass market.

LEGO BrickHeadz Lucky Cat (40436) Review

LEGO FORMA Not Launching Any Further

December 20, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Late last night, LEGO FORMA released probably their last update informing backers and followers that FORMA will not be be moving forward with any additional products. Also, they stated that leftover inventory of the UK version of the Koi (81000) will only be sold at Shop@Home UK. If you still want one, now is the time to jump on it. If you’re outside of the UK, I would suggest asking a friend who lives there and is able to get you one or use a reshipper service. It’s unfortunate that LEGO FORMA won’t be moving forward but maybe LEGO could do another crowdsourcing product in the future as FORMA was a learning experience for them.
