For those who missed out on the Walmart exclusive LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Truck (4000030) at the beginning of the year, it is now available again for purchase online. Like before, it retails for $19.97 and it is more of a collector’s set than one that you open and build. No word on how many are available at this time but let’s assume that it is pretty limited considering the other two 60th anniversary sets are still out of stock.
The Toys R Us Canada Bricktober 2018 flyer has been released and it shows the dates of the promotional sets that will be available during the event. Starting on October 5, you can get an exclusive LEGO minifigure theme set with any LEGO purchase of $75 or more for each week of Bricktober.
October 5-11: LEGO Ninjago (5005257)
October 12-18: LEGO Jurassic World (5005255)
October 19-25: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256)
October 26-November 1: LEGO Harry Potter (5005254)
There are also some Bricktober 2018 Make and Take events happening as well. On Saturday, October 13, there is a LEGO Jurassic World Triceratops build. On Saturday, October 27, there is a LEGO Harry Potter Mini Flying Ford Anglia. Both events are scheduled for 11am-1pm with a max of 150 sets per build, per store.
As for us here in the US, we still don’t have any confirmation of where the Bricktober 2018 sets will be available except for the LEGO Harry Potter set being at Barnes & Noble. There’s no word yet on the purchasing limit at this time at B&N.
The LEGO DC Super Villains video game releases in a few short weeks and earlier today, Arthur Parsons did a livestream at EGX and he has “accidentally” revealed the all the playable characters in the base game. It took me a while to compile this list of character names with the help of some friends and below is what we came up with. Some of the character we guessed on so we know they could be incorrect. Let us know if you see any errors and I’ll fix them later.
Remember that the Deluxe Edition of the game will also have the Season Pass which includes the DC Super-Villains: TV Series DLC Character Pack along with the Justice League Dark DLC Character Pack. Also included is the exclusive LEGO Lex Luthor Superman minifigure.

As we know by now, LEGO has recently released some accessory packs that can be found at LEGO Brand Stores for a new theme called LEGO XTRA and it looks like there will also be some playmats that kids can enjoy as well. Costing $7.99 each, there are three playmats with a Road, Sea, and Park. There are two playmats in each box and there are also some LEGO elements as well.
If you’re looking for a storage solution for your LEGO elements, Amazon currently has a sale on the Stack-On DS-60 which is the 60 drawer storage cabinet. It is going $26.39 which is 19% off the normal and it hasn’t been at this price since May so it’s fairly hard to find it on sale under $30. I want to also mention that the Akro-Mils cabinets are also on sale but the deals aren’t as good as the one for the Stack-On.
The Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection by Mukkinn is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features some skeletons similar to what you would find in a museum and some of the dinosaurs include Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Plesiosaurus. The project is the first one to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.
LEGO has announced on the LEGO Ambassador Network blog that the company will be testing some new pop-up LEGO Brand Stores in select locations. The first one has opened up at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester, Connecticut.
The pop-up LEGO Stores will be somewhat similar to a standard LEGO Brand Store but the main difference is the layout. Some of them will have products sorted by age and the rest will be sorted by price. There are also some other differences which I have listed below from the press release post.
A reason for LEGO opening up pop-up shops is that it gives kids and adults a chance to enjoy some of the fun experiences that they would’ve gotten from other stores like Toys R Us. Obviously, we don’t have TRU stores here in the US anymore so reaching out to that market is a great opportunity for LEGO and consumers to interact with each other.
LEGO is currently testing out the pop-up store experience and if this plan is successful, the LEGO Retail team will have opportunies to open more up in cities that don’t have a LEGO Brand Store near them. Other locations for the LEGO pop-up stores are listed below. LEGO will be asking for feedback so please let them know how you feel about them.
