Amazon has been discounting a lot more larger sets recently and the LEGO Icons Boutique Hotel (10297) is on sale for 13% off. The set is listed for $200 which is $30 off the normal retail price and the lowest the set has been at in a few months. Note that this sale price was the original price when it was first released at the beginning of the year before the price increases.

LEGO has updated their Retiring Soon list again and there are a lot more sets that have been added that will be going away at the end of the year. This is the from the UK list as of today so LEGO Shop US may not show these sets as retiring yet but they will be. I’m sure there will be even more LEGO sets added to this list in the next few weeks so I’ll try it keep it more updated. Some sets may already show that they are sold out so you may have to find another retailer that has them in stock.

LEGO has announced that they are teaming up with Katy Perry for a new Rebuild the World Holiday campaign. The mystery silhouette that we saw a few days ago was a vehicle that kids created using LEGO bricks and was made into a real-life vehicle. It will be used to deliver presents during the holiday season.
In addition, the annual #BuildToGive campaign will be returing this year and LEGO is looking to donate two million sets to children in hospitals, children’s homes, and vulnerable communities. All you have to do is buiding something and share it on social media using the hashtag #BuildToGive before the end of the year.
The LEGO Group hand over the reins of its Holiday campaign to children (and Katy Perry adds a few extra Fireworks!)
Billund, November 1st, 2022 (9AM CET): The LEGO Group has launched its biggest and most playful Holiday campaign to date. This year, the 90-year-old brand turned to some of the most creative minds on the planet, children, to help supercharge its festive celebrations with fun.
The children were handed creative control behind the cameras, building, unbuilding and rebuilding what the Holidays mean to them. Rather than picture-perfect shots of snow, exquisitely set tables full of festive feasts, and crackling open fires, the children chose to design, build and bring to life a playful vehicle to help them deliver presents and bring the community together over the Holiday season.
The film shows children using play to navigate their way and overcome obstacles on their journey to deliver
LEGO Australia has revealed a brand new promotion that will start on November 1 with the Fleece Blanket (5007622). The promo will run from November 1-11 with purchases of $279 AUD, while supplies last.
Other promotions that will be running at the same time include the LEGO Classic 90 Years of Cars (30510) from November 1-7 with purchases of $109 AUD and the LEGO Fun and Funky VIP Add On Pack (40512) from November 1-18 and 11/29-12/31 with $119 AUD purchases. We still have a little bit under eight hours to know the details for here in the States.
November is just around the corner and it looks to be a fairly slow month with the LEGO releases. As of this post, we only know about the LEGO Ideas Table Football (21337) and the LEGO Marvel Hulkbuster (76210) which will be dropping November 1 and 4, respectively. There is a rumor about a LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower (10307) that will be releasing during the Black Friday event but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
As of the the gift with purchases you can get during November, those are still under wraps since LEGO doesn’t promote them anymore until the month is actually here. There are rumors of three promotions throughout the month but two of them are said to be during Black Friday/VIP weekend. One is Gustave Eiffel’s Apartment (40579) which is given with purchases of the Eiffel Tower.
Another GWP during Black Friday/VIP weekend is a Tribute to the LEGO House (40563). It is reported that it is a minimum purchase amount GWP. Lastly, there some sort of Winter set with set number 40564. Details are very minimal on this one.
Of course, we also get Double VIP points as LEGO has been doing that during Black Friday/VIP weekend for many years now. A lot of people usually wait until then to make their purchases in November since there are a few promos that overlap during that time.
