LEGO Looking to Grow in Hiring Push

July 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve ever wanted to work at LEGO, I’ve been told that they are making a huge hiring push for the LEGO Brand Stores as well as at various headquarter locations here in the US. I suppose they are starting to gear up for seasonal positions as things start to ramp up for the holiday season.

If you’ve ever worked retail before, there is a chance for you to be put on as a regular member of the staff and possibly even be promoted to other positions. I’ve known people who have started at retail and ended up working at Enfield which allowed them to travel the world to various LEGO events. I’ve tried to apply years ago but it didn’t work out since it was sort of a conflict of interest with what I got going on here. If you are interested, head on over to the careers page to see what is available.

LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) Promo Set Revealed

July 26, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, the August 2021 LEGO Store Calendar was published and in it we can also see the upcoming LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) promotional set. It was announced as the winner of the Build that Holiday building contest a year ago and we finally get to see what it looks like.

The build pretty much maintains the original look from yc_solo down to the dolphins jumping out of the water. The promotion will run from August 1-3 for VIPs and August 4-29 for the general public, while supplies last, and it will require a $200 purchase. I believe this is one of the largest, if not the largest purchase requirement, I’ve seen for a promo item in many years and will most likely carry a hefty aftermarket price.

LEGO Comic Creator Returns for SDCC at Home 2021

July 25, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With Comic Con at Home 2021 coming to a close soon and if you haven’t done it yet, LEGO still has their LEGO Comic Creator available for the first 10,000 participants. It is the same as last year where you can create your own LEGO minifigure and choose a universe between Star Wars, Spider-Man, or Batman to build a story around. This is the same as last year’s activity when Comic Con was shut down as well. There is a limit of three comics per house hold so you can pretty much get all three stories unless you have more than one child.

LEGO Dream Holiday Sailboat (40487) GWP Rumored to be Coming in August

July 21, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, LEGO announced that the Sailing Ship Adventure by yc_solo won the fan vote for the LEGO Ideas Build that Holiday contest which will become a future gift with purchase set. It is now rumored that the set will be coming out in August and it will be called the Dream Holiday Sailboat (40487).

There are any details of it yet until the August LEGO Store Calendar comes out, most likely next week, but it is said that it will require a 200€ purchase to get it. Hopefully it won’t cost an arm and a leg to get it as LEGO has been getting up there in purchase price requirements for some items.

July 15, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has finally officially announced the long-awaited LEGO Star Wars UCS Republic Gunship (75309) which will be available starting on August 1. The 3,292 piece set retails for $349.99 and it was voted for by fans and had over 30,000 votes which made up of 58% of all votes cast. It will include minifigures of Mace Windu and a Clone Trooper Commander along with a display stand along with a information plaque.

LEGO is fixing the issue and it will be corrected in the December/January releases. If you purchase the set in the first wave, you may get an error set.
