LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022)

It’s August 1 and that means that there are a ton of new LEGO sets are now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home. LEGO sets from various themes ranging from DC Super Heroes to Ninjago to Unikitty are now available. The rest of the Wizarding World sets, mainly the Fantastic Beasts ones, and the Collectible Minifigures are now up for grabs and I’m sure those will be pretty popular. In addition, there are a couple of promotions that are going on simultaneously including the LEGO Plants from Plants (40320) with purchases of $35 or more and the LEGO Unikitty Castle Room (5005239) with purchases of $25 or more.

LEGO Harry Potter Barnes & Noble Mini Hogwarts Express

Barnes & Noble has announced there will be a LEGO Harry Potter Mini Hogwarts Express build and take event at select stores this Saturday at 2pm local time. There will be limited quantaties and sign-ups may be required so there is a chance that there won’t be enough for walk-ups so call your local store to see if they are participating in the event. You can also check the events calendar at your nearest store to see if the LEGO Harry Potter event is listed.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Store Pre-Orders in Canada

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Stores here in the US were taking pre-orders for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) and now it looks like LEGO Stores in Canada are also doing the same thing as well. All you have to do is put down $40 and you’re guaranteed a set when it is released next month. I’m sure there will be some logistics for them to figure out such as having a separate line for pre-orders and those who didn’t when the store opens.

This LEGO pre-ordering system in-store seems like a new endeavor to help guage how the demand will be for a particular set. I wished it was implemented during the release of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) but I assume this was put in place because of what happened with the Falcon and I hope they keep doing it for big future releases. The Hogwarts Castle will be available on August 15 for VIP members and on September 1 for the general public.

Thanks to Jerry for the heads up.

July 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are now official images of the updated LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set that have appeared on Amazon. If you remember, the set had to be redesigned due to the events of late last year at one of the hotels and in turn, the release of the set was delayed. The set will now have the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, Bellagio Hotel, Luxor Las Vegas, Encore at the Wynn, Startosphere Las Vegas, and the Fremont Street Experience. There’s no details on the price or release date yet at this time.
