The LEGO Star Wars Kessel Mine Worker (40299) minifigure polybag promotion is now also live online on Barnes & Noble. You can get it for free with a purchase of $29.95 or more, while supplies last. This is currently the last minifigure LEGO has released so far that connects together with their respective display stands. This promotion is also available in-stores and from what I’ve read, you can also purchase it individually for $5.99 each. The promotional event runs until October 15.
You can now pre-order the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) either at Amazon or LEGO Shop@Home. The set was just announced yesterday and the set has 1,060 pieces and retails for $129.99.
Amazon has the set listed for a November 26 release while Shop@Home says it will ship by December 1. Unless you have some gift cards or credit left over on Amazon, there is no discounts or promotions but it does have free Prime shipping. Over on Shop@Home, you can get free shipping as well as the Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300) minifigure polybag.
Universal has announced their plans for Jurassic World for 2019 and it has been revealed that there will be more LEGO Jurassic World sets as well as an animated show coming soon. I’m curious to see what other sets could be produced for Jurassic World as the Fallen Kingdom sets have covered almost everything from the second film.
The animated LEGO Jurassic World short will probably air on Cartoon Network or LEGO could release it on home media which potentially could have an exclusive minifigure but I won’t hold my breath on that. The short will be airing by the end of the year.
Thanks to anonymous for the heads up!
The results of the LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review are in and LEGO has announced that, not one, but two projects will become official sets next year. The first set is the Treehouse by Kevin Feeser which looks great in its own right. I’m curious to see how big it’ll actually be considering the project had 2,643 pieces.
The other project that passed is actually a surprise and it is The Flintstones by Andrew Clark. I’ve seen the project in person when I was at Philly Brick Fest and I will say that it looks great in person. I’m sure that LEGO will modify it just a little bit to make it work for them as the parts count including minifigures is 770 pieces. It’s interesting to see The Flintstones as a license because there were hints that LEGO may have already had the stage was in LEGO Dimensions a few years ago.
For the past year or so, LEGO has been releasing exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigures that are some display stands. There’s currently a promotion going on over at LEGO Shop@Home for the Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300) with purchases of $35 or more. It looks like there’s another promotion also running at Barnes & Noble, of all places, for the Kessel Mine Worker (40299). You can get it for free with purchases of $29.95 or more, while supplies last. From the looks over on the image, it looks like the promotion runs until October 18. There’s also reports that you can purchase it individually for $1.27 each. Thanks to Brandon for the heads up!
The Star Wars Show have revealed a new Amazon exclusive set that will be coming out soon and that is the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle (75251). The set can be preordered starting tomorrow and it has 1,060 pieces and retails for $129.99. There’s no word yet on the release date at this time.
LEGO has been pretty quiet about the Bricktober 2018 sets but according to an image that’s been floating around on social media, it appears the promotion will be starting next month. An email from LEGO Customer Service says the following:
I’m not sure if this email is legit or not because there is a misspelling on the word “available” in the image so don’t get your hopes up just yet. They state that the promotions start in November but the store calendar does not list anything about it unless it is one of the exclusive offers during Black Friday that starts on November 23. The only confirmed thing we know about Bricktober 2018 here in the US is that Barnes & Noble will be carrying the Harry Potter (5005254) set but there are no details on when that is. Toys R Us Canada’s promotions start later this week.
