We’ve already known about the LEGO Seasonal Dragon Boat Race (80103) but LEGO has finally uploaded the official images of the set onto their servers in preparation of them being sold on LEGO Shop@Home. In the Asian-Pacific region, it’ll be available on May 1 but for the rest of the world, they won’t get it until 3-6 months after the launch so it’ll probably be late summer/early fall before it becomes available for everyone else.

As for the set, it has 471 pieces but it will include a whopping 15 minifigures. The price is still unknown at this time. The set is to commemorate the Dragon Boat Festival that will be held in early June.

LEGO Mystery Midnight Opening Event at Leicester Square on May 15

April 26, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has teased a mystery midnight opening event at the flagship Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store. The event will be held on Wednesday May 15 from 12:01am-3am local time. Looking at the image above, there’s a classified folder but there is a clue from the photo that is paper clipped on. If you look closely, it looks like the photo shows the top of the head of somebody. I don’t know about you but it sort of looks likes the head of Mike from Stranger Things so that means the opening event could be the rumored LEGO Stranger Things theme that I talked about last month. We here in the US could also see something released that same day at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. We shall see.

Depending on what time zone you’re in, this is either some early morning news or late night news. The Shanghai Police has announced on their Weibo that they have successfully raided a few Lepin factories and the boss, surnamed Li, has been arrested. If you didn’t know, LEGO has been taking legal action against the company for almost three years and even though they supposedly won an infringement case against them last year, Lepin was still producing counterfeit sets.

According to the post, there were three warehouses raided, four people arrested, including Li, and police confiscated 90 production molds and 630,000 finished products ready to be sold which equated to more than 200 million yuan (~$30 mil USD). You can check out more images of the raid in the link above.
