If you’re thinking about going to the LEGO House in Billund, you may be interested to hear that LEGO is now offering annual passes for it. For a limited time from April 13-28, LEGO is also offering a discount on the pass for 299 DKK (~$45). This introductory price will return to 399 DKK after Easter. The only way to get this deal is at the LEGO House itself so it is advantageous to do it when you first get there.
The promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Chicken Skater Pod (853958) starts in a few days and LEGO has sent over the polybag for us to take a quick look at. Inside the polybag, there’s only pod itself and the instructions.
A few days ago, I reported that the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Endgame Iron Man and Dum-E (30452) polybag has started showing up at Walmart. Thanks to JAC Gerdjunis in the comments, we now have the SKU and UPC for the polybag. You can now check your closest location using Brickseek see if they have them near you. As always, it is not totally accurate so be wary of that.

Over on the LEGO Ambassador Network, there’s been a very interesting discussion about LEGO and the perception of the company being disconnected with the fans. There’s been many things that LEGO has done in recent years that makes fans not enjoy the company as they once did.
There have been many examples given so far such as the Black VIP card debacle and its “promotions.” The Black card was hard to get simply because you had to purchase the UCS Millennium Falcon in a certain time span but it was always out of stock so nobody could buy it. By the time that LEGO had enough stock to go around, the time to be able to get the card had already ended. As far as the promotions for the card are concerned, they’re pretty bad. From what I remember, there was a blueprint poster for the Y-Wing and black card frame.
Another thing are the various exclusives such as the convention ones as well as the recent Chinese New Year sets or even the “chase” minifigures which segregates who is able to acquire them by normal means. Even more recently, The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz that were exclusive to Walmart and Target. Believe me, I’ve read all of your guys’ comments and I do understand how you feel.
For me personally, it was the change to the LEGO Store Calendars where they took off the promotions. I’m not sure why they did it because people like to plan their shopping. From what I heard, LEGO didn’t … Continue
April Fool’s Day came and went and as usual, there were many pranks that were done in the LEGO community including some from our fellow fan site colleagues. If you didn’t see it, we reported on the LEGO VIP Personalized Shopper Program which was a convoluted way to shop automatically using the wishlist feature. Below is a compilation of some of the things came online yesterday as part of our tradition. If you saw something that I didn’t post, let us know in the comments.

LEGO Brand Stores will be holding an in-store building event on April 18 and we now have a first look at Thor’s Stormbreaker build. Registration is required for the event and you can start signing up on April 5 in stores only on a first-come, first-served basis. I think the build is pretty cool as it gets kids ready for Avengers: Endgame.
