LEGO has teamed up with NimbleBit to release a new mobile game called LEGO Tower that is set to be released this summer. Similar to the highly popular Tiny Tower game from 2011, LEGO Tower will use its formula for this new game. I’ve played Star Wars: Tiny Death Star which is a similar game to Tiny Tower and I will say that it’s pretty addicting and I’ll definitely try LEGO Tower out when it is released. Check out the press release and more images below.

Yesterday, the exclusive LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Bust (75227) was announced for Star Wars Celebration 2019 in Chicago and it was also announced that Target will be carrying it as well. This brings the question of has LEGO ended the idea of “con exclusives?”
As you probably know by now, LEGO has been releasing exclusive sets and minifigures at various conventions such as San Diego and New York Comic Cons as well as Star Wars Celebration which are only available at the convention or on the secondary market. Since Target will also be getting the Darth Vader Bust, that’ll allow fans who aren’t able to attend to purchase it as well.
Could this also be the start of LEGO shared exclusives similar to what other companies, like Funko, do for some of the con products where the same items will be available at various retailers but with a different sticker than the con ones. I do like this idea as fans have been voicing their displeasure of having con exclusives for years and maybe LEGO has finally listened. We’ll see once the SDCC exclusive are announced in a few months. What do you guys think?
Star Wars has announced the exclusives for Star Wars Celebration 2019 at Chicago and there will be an LEGO Darth Vader Bust (75227) coming soon. Containing 327 pieces, it be released some time in April to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars theme. It was also noted there will be limited availability at Target. I’ll report when it pops up online or in stores.
Update: I’ve just gotten more details on how to get it. A limited number of sets will be released through a show lottery system each day of Celebration. For those not attending Star Wars Celebration, a limited quantity of this set will be available through Target REDcard beginning 4/11.
