If you’ve been looking for the Target exclusive LEGO Bean There, Donut That (40358), I’m happy to report that the set is now widely available at Target stores.

LEGO Brand Store (40305) Found at US Brand Store

September 29, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in May, we got our first look at the new 2018 LEGO Brand Store (40305) and we’ve been wondering when it will be available here in the United States. I’ve gotten word that the set will be a regular set and it was sold as early as this week at a LEGO Brand Store in the US. I can assure you that this is true as it comes from one of my good sources.

The images have been up on LEGO’s servers so it will be available on Shop@Home pretty soon. The set has already been available for a few months in Germany and France. Let us know in the comments if you’ve seen this set at your local LEGO Brand Store.

Update: I forgot to mention that it has been found only at flagship LEGO Brand Stores in the US but it will move to regular Brand Stores as well.

LEGO FORMA – Quick Look a Day Later

September 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It has been just over a day since LEGO announced their new adult-centered theme, LEGO FORMA, and it looks like there’s quite a bit of interest for it. Their initial perk goal of 500 has been surpassed five times over and as of this writing, it sits at 2,590 perks claimed in total. The US Super Box option has already had one-third of the inventory claimed out of the 3,000 available. The UK Super Box option is already 40% claimed out of the 1,000 available in that region with still about a month left in the crowdfunding project. The Super Box options save you a little bit money compared to just buying the base Koi set and the additional skins separately but there’s still quite a bit of inventory for those options.

I’ve pre-order the LEGO FORMA Super Box so I’m quite excited to see how it looks and feels in person when it released in January. Note that this short-run LEGO FORMA batch will only be available on Indiegogo and won’t be available for purchase on Shop@Home or LEGO Brand Stores so if you’re interested in it, I wouldn’t wait to throw in your support, especially for the Super Box options because those will go out of stock first. Did any of you give it a go for this new theme?

LEGO FORMA Theme Officially Announced

LEGO has announced a new theme called LEGO FORMA that is aimed towards adults who are looking for an engaging way to connect with their creative side. For the first time ever, they are using Indiegogo to launch this new pilot project and there will be a series of pilot sets/themes that are planned on various sites and formats next year to float their ideas.
