There are now official images of the LEGO Architecture Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (21035) set via Amazon France. The set contains 744 pieces but there’s no word yet on pricing. The Guggenheim Museum has been released before in 2009 but this is an updated version of the set with parts that make the model smoother. There’s also no word on the release date but I’m going to guess March.

A few readers has informed me that 99 Cents Only Stores have started selling various LEGO Dimensions Fun Packs for only $0.99 each. This has also been confirmed by users on Reddit.

Even if you’re aren’t into LEGO Dimensions, you can’t deny that this is a great deal even if it’s just for the parts and minifigures.

January 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

The 2017 London Toy Fair is set to kick off and LEGO again this year will be on hand to show off some of the upcoming sets for later this year. Photography is still prohibited so we’ll have to wait until the Nuremberg Toy Fair next week to see initial images but for now, we’ll have to rely on attendees who are able to describe the sets in detail to give us a tease of what to expect. We’ve already had an initial list of the rumored Summer 2017 LEGO sets already so I’m excited to see what all is included with these sets.
