From now until January 31, while supplies last, you can get it with a purchase of any LEGO Star Wars products and you’ll enter your code during checkout. As for the rest of us who don’t have the card, at least we still have Double VIP Points until Monday, December 10.

Since then, fans have been wondering if LEGO will be doing other IPs in Blizzard’s portfolio.

While LEGO declined to say on the possibility of LEGO World of Warcraft sets, Beecher went on to say:
It needs to be the right time and place for both parties. I mean, we would definitely be interested in discussing that. With World of Warcraft, there’s a hundred million-plus people that have touched that experience at some point in their life, so there’s a very broad and diverse audience around the world that supports World Of Warcraft. But it obviously would be a mutual decision. We need make sure there’s enough indicators pointing to that it would be a great idea.
As a Warcraft fan, I wouldn’t mind seeing LEGO Warcraft sets. It is a fantasy/castle theme that fans would enjoy with almost unlimited playability because the lore is so expansive. Since LEGO Nexo Knights has retired, there’s a hole in the castle theme and Warcraft could supplement the years where we don’t have castle-type sets. That … Continue

This promotion will run online and in stores from now until December 10 and it also combines with the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Carousel (40293) with purchases of $99 or more, while supplies last. Again thank you to everyone making your purchases through our links as it does help support the site.
There’s less than three weeks left in the holiday shopping season and now is a good time for me to release my 2018 LEGO shopping recommendations as I’ve had some good feedback for them. Like with previous years, I’ll be categorizing this year’s LEGO sets into various price point groups. Note that some of these sets are currently on sale on Amazon.

It’s been almost two years since The LEGO Batman Movie was in theaters and fans have been wondering if there will be a sequel for it. The director for the first movie, Chris McKay, has assured us that a second movie is currently being worked on. This doesn’t mean that that The LEGO Batman Movie 2 has been officially announced but at least we know Warner Bros. is looking into it another movie for Batman. In the meantime, we still have the Caped Crusader in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part which hits theaters in February.
We are working on that rn actually! In the meantime LEGO Batman is all over LEGO 2 coming in February.
