The official images of the LEGO BrickHeadz Seasonal Easter Bunny (40271) have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers. The set consists of 126 pieces and will retail for $9.99 each and you can find them starting on February 1 either at LEGO Brand Stores or on Shop@Home. Like with the Valentine’s Bee (40270), there will also be some smaller additional builds to go along with the Bunny BrickHeadz.
It looks like the rumors of a LEGO Unikitty! Minifigure (41775) blind bags were indeed true. Zusammengebaut has reported that there will be a series of minifigures that will be for the Unikitty! animated show on Cartoon Network. This series would be coming in August and there will be twelve Unikitty minifigures to collect. I’m not sure if this means that there are twelve variants of Unikitty or twelve different characters from the Unikitty show. If it is the former, this series will be harder to feel for because Unikitty pretty much has the same body type and the only distinguishing features would be the accessories if she has any. The early rumor also stated that this series could also be a Mixels-type series so we’ll see if it just minifigures or the buildable type. Either way, I’m pretty excited to see what this series will consist of when the official images are released this summer.
The LEGO Nexo Knights theme was launched in 2016 as a futuristic castle adventure theme with bright, sharp colors. For two years, it has given fans an interesting assortment of sets and it looks like it will be ending with the latest wave of sets. Zusammengebaut at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair has confirmed that there will be no summer sets planned for LEGO Nexo Knights and this usually means that the theme will be coming to a sad end.
Everything comes to end in one way or another, especially with original LEGO IPs which have about a two year lifespan, LEGO Ninjago being the main exception. To see this theme ending the way it is now is a little disappointing because there was no promotion for it. The official images didn’t come out until long after the other themes were out and the sets basically just showed up in stores. It had lots of potential but apparently it didn’t meet LEGO’s expectations as far as sales goes. It seemed somewhat popular with the younger audience and even the panel at SDCC a few years ago was packed with kids who wanted more of the Nexo Knights story.
With LEGO Nexo Knights ending, it looks like there won’t be another castle type theme for a few years because LEGO likes to rotate themes so what do you want to see take its place? I, for one, am looking forward to another sci-fi space type theme. What about you?
Last week, we got the official box art image of the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) set which was delayed in its release. That box art will no longer be used and there’s some new information from Promobricks at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair that the set has now been pushed back to a fall release. This is because the set will be redesigned to remove the Mandalay Bay Hotel and replace it with another building due to the events that happened at the hotel last year.
What building would you like to see replace the Mandalay Bay Hotel in the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21308) set?
If you’re still looking for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), Amazon now has it in stock at the regular price of $799.99. It is also eligible for Prime shipping as well. If you don’t really care for the VIP points from Shop@Home and just want to get one, now is your best chance to get it since it’s been out of stock from LEGO. Good luck!
Update: Sorry folks, it’s all gone. I’ll let you know when they will have it in stock again.
LEGO/Walmart has finally made the anniversary site live and there are now details on when the limited edition Walmart LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary sets will be available. According to the site, the House (4000028) will be available Thursday, February 1, the Windmill (4000029) on Monday, February 5, and the Truck (4000030) on Friday, February 9. Each of the sets are priced at $19.99 each. I’m not sure if they will make it to stores as it says they are only available at Walmart.com and Jet.com.
The limited edition 60th Anniversary version of the LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) set is already available online and I’ve already my copy after ordering it yesterday morning. Again, this is the version of the set that you will need to get if you want to redeem the collectible booklet. I’ve sent in my submission and it’s already been approved to ship out soon.
There are now official images as well as descriptions of some of the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets which were revealed at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair.
