When the images of the LEGO Overwatch sets were revealed, my most anticipated one was the D.Va & Reinhardt (75973). The set features one of my tank mains in D.Va and I love how her mech looks. The set has 455 pieces and retails for $39.99. The contents of the box include three numbered bags, a sticker sheet, and two instruction booklets.
The Playable LEGO Piano by SleepyCow is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,798 piece build features a concert grand piano and has actual working keys with attention to realistic features. It even allows Power Functions to enable a self playing mechanic.
The project now joins the Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection, Chemical Plant, Food Stand Diners, and Queen Victoria Cruise Ship as the projects to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.

So far, I’ve already on two The LEGO Movie 2 polybags with the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) and Star-Stuck Emmet (30620) but it looks like there’s another one to look out far. One of our readers on our Facebook Page, Cory, has found Emmet’s Piece Offering (30640) at their local Target store. The polybag consists of 44 pieces and I assume it retails for $3.99 like all other polybags there. It looks to be found near the LEGO section as seen from the background of the image but they could also be put out on the endcaps or at the checkout lanes. Unfortunately, I do not have the DPCI to do a store search but I’ll get you that info when I have it. I’ll head out to my stores tomorrow to see if I can find any of them for a quick review.
Update: The DPCI is 204-00-0522.
As we get closer to the release of The LEGO Movie 2 sets, more products have been showing up online including some new polybags. One of which is the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) polybag that is already showing up at Walmart. There’s another polybag that has shown up called Star-Stuck Emmet (30620). The details on it has been sparce it depicts Emmet saving a star between a door. I’ll report on its availability when I get the info.
One of the more popular events that is held during the spring time at LEGOLAND California and around the world is LEGO Star Wars Days. Fans from all over come to see some new cool LEGO Star Wars builds including some from local LUGs. In recent days, there were rumors that next year’s event would be cancelled and it looks like that has been confirmed. Rebelscum has gotten in touch with with Lucasfilm and they have said that this past year would be the last to do the event. Also someone at Disney stated,
The motivation was to refocus expenditure and limit Star Wars exposure to reset the franchise and allow fans to heal.
I’ve also heard another reason for Star Wars Days being cancelled is to shift focus to The LEGO Movie 2. There’s still a chance that LEGO Star Wars Days could return down the line but in the future, it’s done for.
The Queen Victoria Cruise Ship by FlagsNZ is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project recreates the Cunard luxury cruise liner with 2061 pieces and it is a 1:565 scale of the real life ship. The project now joins the Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection, Chemical Plant, and Food Stand Diners as the projects to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.
