If you’re still looking for the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251), Amazon has restocked it at retail price. If wasn’t announced but we gotten word from a few sources that it was retired at the end of last year and it is currently marked as sold out on Shop@Home.

LEGO Monthly Mini Build Events Rumored to be Ending in March

January 29, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve been enjoying doing the LEGO VIP Monthly Mini Builds, you only have a few months left to do them. I’ve heard from a few different sources that the last event will be in March. Even though LEGO has a list going for the 2019 builds, it seems that the page will not be filled up after March.

The LEGO Monthly Mini Builds have been going since 2009 and it was extremely popular at its peak a few years ago. It may seem that attendance has dropped ever since registration was required starting in 2016 and that could be a reason why LEGO will be ending it. Before the change, it was on a first come, first served system where families lined up in front of the stores and wait their turn. The registration helped ease the congestion at the malls but it also required parents to remember to sign their kids up on a certain day which is an extra step that some didn’t want to take.

BILLUND, January 29, 2019:Today we mark 50 years since theLEGO Group unveiled its inaugural large brick for small hands (yes that would be 1969) – the same year the first person set foot on the moon.
