LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Regional Exclusive Confusion

August 23, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) went up for pre-order yesterday here in the US and there was much outrage at LEGO because it was only sold here and not anywhere else in the world. There’s no official word on why but I may have some reasoning behind it.

I believe this set was intended to be sold at San Diego Comic Con but that didn’t happen this year and DC decided to do their own event and LEGO had to sell it somehow. San Diego Comic Con exclusives usually aren’t sold outside of the US besides by third party sellers who attend. So technically, the LEGO Wonder Woman set isn’t a “regional exclusive” but I can see why fans are frustrated at the situation. There are, however, some good people out there on social media who are willing to help out fans in other countries. Feel free to post a comment and someone may see it and help you out.

Pre-orders for the set are still being taken on LEGO Shop@Home as well as at Walmart. I’m don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced so if you’re in the US and want an easy convention exclusive, I would suggest putting your order in.

LEGO Hidden Side Amazon Sale – August 2020

August 21, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With the news of the LEGO Hidden Side rumored to be discontinued at the end of the year, Amazon currently has a lot of sets on sale for larger discounts than before. Some of these sales are the lowest they have been on the site. Considering that we don’t get many LEGO spooky themes, this might be the last time we see the sets for a few years until a new theme is introduced. The summer 2020 wave will be available on LEGO Shop@Home on August 24.

LEGO Braille Bricks Officially Launches

August 20, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It may seem like a long time ago but last year LEGO announced they were producing LEGO sets to help visually impaired children learn Braille. After a successful test in different countries and languages, LEGO Braille Bricks has been officially launched. Check out the details below on how to acquire them.

LEGO® Braille Bricks to launch in twenty countries over the next six months following successful pilot program

The LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group roll out the first wave of the program in partnership with local sight loss organizations to help children with vision impairment learn critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration through play.

Billund, August 20th 2020: Today, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group announced the official launch of LEGO Braille Bricks in seven countries, including Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, UK and USA. The program was first unveiled as a pilot project in April 2019 during the Sustainable Brands Conference in Paris, France – home ground of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. Since then, the concept has been tested across various languages and cultural contexts and is ready to launch in six languages, including Danish, Norwegian, English, Portuguese, German and French. Four additional language versions will launch over the next six months, with the ambition that the concept will be implemented in a total of eleven languages across twenty countries by early 2021.

LEGO Braille Bricks introduces a fun and engaging way to help children with vision impairment develop tactile skills and learn the braille system. The bricks are moulded so that the

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) to be Available on LEGO Shop@Home

August 17, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO August/September 2020 Catalog is starting to hit mailboxes and there’s something interesting that you may be interested in if you’re a LEGO Star Wars fan. On page 49 at the bottom, it shows a listing for the Bespin Duel (75294) which was supposed to be an exclusive set to either SDCC 2020 or Star Wars Celebration 2020. Due to both of them not happening this year, it looks like LEGO has decided to sell it on their own. This most likely means it will be available on LEGO Shop@Home. We now also have pricing for the set which is $39.99 for 295 pieces. There’s no word on when it will be released but I’m assuming it’ll be September 1 along with the other LEGO Star Wars sets. Also, we don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced for it so it could be a limited run.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks Book Announced

August 17, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple of weeks ago, LEGO on the LEGO Ideas platform did a fan vote for an upcoming book geared towards AFOLs and the winning title has been announced as The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks. You will be able to pre-order it at Unbound and if you do, your name will be printed on the back of the book. There will also be rewards as part of the pre-orders including a print of the LEGO Wooden Duck with more to be revealed later on.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks won’t be released until 2022 but the pre-orders will be accepted through early 2021. The book will feature a variety of LEGO elements, from monorail tracks and wheels to smart bricks, the Mask of Life from BIONICLE, and more. It will be written by Daniel Konstanski, US editor of Blocks Magazine, who I’ve met before a few times at Philly Brick Fest.

Unbound launches the first-ever official LEGO®️ book created in partnership with Adult LEGO Fans

Unbound is excited to announce a major new initiative with AMEET, the LEGO Group’s global strategic publishing partner, to launch the first official direct-to-consumer book created in partnership with Adult Fans of LEGO®️ (AFOLs).

Developed with input from a group of AFOL ambassadors and voted for via a public competition on LEGO®️ Ideas, The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks is a LEGO history like no other. Showcasing the extraordinary variety of LEGO elements, from monorail tracks and wheels to smart bricks, the Mask of Life from BIONICLE®️, and many

LEGO Creator Winter Village Elf Clubhouse (10275) Rumored for 2020

August 10, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Continuing with the rumor mill, there is now information on possibly what this year’s LEGO Creator Winter Village set will be. Word has it that the 2020 Winter Village set will be an Elf Clubhouse (10275). It not usual that we get something elf-centric but it seems that it may go well with the Santa’s Workshop (10245) and Toy Workshop (40106) from 2014. Can you believe we haven’t had any elves for the Winter Village in that many years? It doesn’t seem like it to me as I can clearly remember it being released in stores. Anyways, consider the Elf Clubhouse only as a rumor until LEGO announces it in the upcoming months.

LEGO Creator Expert Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) Rumored for 2021

August 9, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s a new rumor going around the internet for about a few days about a new LEGO Creator Expert Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) coming out some time in 2021. If you remember late last year, there was another rumor of some Ghostbusters: Afterlife sets that were set to be released this year in conjunction with the movie release but all that got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This rumor, which comes from Eurobricks, says it will retail for $200 and is in the style of the Creator Expert vehicles like the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (10262) and the Fiat 500 (10271). Note that the Aston Martin was also based on a movie as well. This also means that the Ecto-1 won’t be in minifigure scale which and will probably be in the system sets that were supposed to be out for the new movie.

Again, all rumors are treated as such until LEGO officially announces it or leaked images start showing up online which has been happening a lot for every big release. The image above is not the rumored set but of the LEGO Ideas one that was released a few years ago.
