To confirm some of the rumors of some upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz for 2018, Brickset has found images of the Back to the Future Marty McFly & Doc Brown (41611) set from Target. Apparantly they are already on the sales floor and available to purchase. I assume the set will retail for $19.99 and is slated for a May release. LEGO has been stepping it up with the 2018 BrickHeadz and this set isn’t an exception.
I’ve just received an email from GameStop which reveals the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game pre-order and it looks like the Edna minifigure will be exclusive to them for now. As you can see in the image above, the Edna polybag is free while supplies last. Note that this is the only way to get the Edna minifigure as she does not appear in any of the LEGO Juniors sets or you can buy her directly from the secondary market. The Incredibles Video Game will be available starting on June 15.
We’re already a few days into April but you may have noticed that there’s no May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar that I usually report on at the beginning of the month. That’s because LEGO is keeping it under wraps for now for surprise promotions for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event however there are already rumors of what one of the promotions will be. Word has it that BB-8 may be the polybag that will be given out as a gift with purchase and the size would be similar to R2-D2 (30611) from last year. The build would be similar to the BB-8 from the Bricktober 2017 event last year but with printed parts. Stay tuned as we get closer to May for any reveals.

April Fool’s Day went by will slightly less fanfare than previous years but there were still some good ones put out by the LEGO community throughout the day. We gave fans a little jolt with the “announcement” of a LEGO/Funko partnership but check out some of the ones from other sites below.

It looks like the LEGO Party Banana Juice Bar (5005250) set that was found in LEGOLAND Billund last week has found its way to the US. LEGOLAND California now it as a gift with purchase for annual passholders for spending $35 or more. As you can see, it’s another Banana Suit Guy with an orange boombox. The design of the box is a juice bar hut that would fit into a summer theme which I assume will be released on LEGO Shop@Home.
