Global Supply Chain Disruption May Impact Holiday Shopping

October 11, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re planning on waiting to do holiday shopping this year, you may want to get your shopping in early. There is currently a global supply chain disruption and experts say there might not be much on store shelves this holiday season. The LEGO Shop doesn’t seem to have much inventory issues except for a few sets that went on backorder but orders usually ship in a week or so.

Retail store shelves may have problems as some of the larger chains don’t seem to have much stocked. Here in San Diego, there are a few Walmart and Target stores around here that are out of certain sets which can be rectified on the LEGO Shop but you don’t get the instant gratification of getting the items in-hand.

Now would be the perfect time to get your shopping done on the LEGO Shop since they have a double VIP points promotion until the end of October 17. Double points also work on pre-orders so it would work on the newly revealed The Batman sets.

LEGO Marvel Mech Sets Rumored for 2022

October 8, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It has been rumored that there will be some new LEGO Marvel mech sets that will be coming in January 2022. It is said that these sets will be comic book based and they include:

Wolverine Mech (76202) – $9.99
Iron Man Mech (76203) – $9.99
Black Panther Mech (76204) – $9.99

If these rumors are true, it marks the return of a fan favorite character in Wolverine. There have been three Wolverine minifigures in the past with the last one being four years ago from the Mighty Micros sets. If you remember from a few months back, I reported that the packaging for the LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures (71031) may have put a teaser for Wolverine’s return and it looks like it may be confirmed.

THE GRANDEST SHIP IN HISTORY JOINS THE LEGO® FAMILY AS LEGO TITANIC IS UNVEILED

7 OCTOBER 2021: The LEGO Group has revealed an authentic replica of the most famous ship of all time, the RMS Titanic. For the first time, fans can now recreate the luxury liner in detailed LEGO® brick form, 110 years since it was launched in Belfast in 1911.

The LEGO Titanic is one of the longest and largest LEGO models to date, made up of 9,090 pieces, making it a truly immersive building challenge for LEGO fans and budding historians alike.

As well as its sheer size, the Titanic was known for its unrivaled grandeur, which has been faithfully captured in the set. Beneath the unmistakable exterior of the LEGO Titanic, there are several interior rooms to explore including the First-Class grand staircase which spans six decks and the Jacobean-style dining saloon which was located on the ship’s D deck.

The Titanic was also renowned for its unparalleled speed, outclassing other ships of the era, and in the lower decks, fans will find a replica of the state-of-the-art engine room.

LEGO Bricktober (2021?) Sets Hitting Toys R Us Canada

October 1, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

For those who were wondering if the LEGO Bricktober sets will be hitting Toys R Us Canada, they are for 2021 but with a catch. For purchases of $65 or more from September 30 – October 6, you can get the first LEGO Bricktober 2020 set which is the Carousel (66649). The Fun Fair sets were previously exclusive to Toys R Us Singapore but they have made their way to Canada this year and the packaging lists them as a 2021 exclusive which makes it confusing. Meanwhile in the APAC regions, they have the new Fairy Tale Collection sets. Thanks to Jeff for the heads up.
