LEGO Santa’s Front Yard (40484) Christmas in July Promotion Live

It’s Christmas in July on the LEGO Shop as the promotion for the LEGO Santa’s Front Yard (40484) has returned. The promo was originally for Black Friday sales last year and you’ll have to spend $170 to get it. The promo will run from now until July 15, while supplies last. It will also coincide with the upcoming Double VIP Points promotion which runs from July 12-13 so you may want to hold off until then.

LEGO 90th Anniversary Red Brick Building Event at LEGO Stores

LEGO Brand Stores will be holding a building event for a LEGO Red Brick to celebrate the 90th anniversary. On July 20-21 and August 10-11, there will be a limited quantity of sets available on a first come, first served basis. You’ll have to build it there and you can take it home after. It is limited to one per person but I know people will try to bring their whole family there to get multiples so get there early.

LEGO Confirmed for San Diego Comic Con 2022

It’s taken a while but the San Diego Comic Con 2022 exhibit hall floor list has been revealed and we can now confirm that LEGO will be attending this year. As usual, they’ll taking over Booth #2829 which will be filled with new set reveals, life-sized character displays, interactive play areas and the shopping area on the opposite side.

There’s no word yet on any LEGO SDCC 2022 exclusives such as the minifigures or sets but we’ll mostly likely hear about them very soon considering we’re exactly two weeks away from Preview Night. The panel schedules should also be coming out as well so we’ll see if there are any LEGO panels that will happening. Usually there are some kid friendly panels including LEGO Ninjago which has been the regular one the past few years.

After a two year break, I’ll be back again as press and will be covering pretty much all the LEGO news from the show floor as well as trying for the exclusives so stay tuned for that. Unfortunately, I don’t have any more of The Brick Fan brick badges to give out but feel free to find me.

Amazon Prime Day 2022 Coming Soon

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is coming up in less than a week (July 12-13) and if you’ve been shopping with them, you know there will be some LEGO sales spread out during the event. Usually the sales range from 30%-50% off and there are generally there are a few sets that are “desirable” if you collect a certain LEGO theme. Last year we had a few Star Wars, Marvel, and City sets that were decent. I’ll try to list the sets that go on the larger discounts when they become available but just keep an eye out for anything you see that’s on your building/collecting wish list.

Of course, there also plenty of other things that go on sale on Amazon as well. If you’re not a Prime member, you can sign up for a 30 day free trial and you get all the same benefits including free shipping.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Packaging Changes Coming Soon

A few years ago, LEGO announced that they will be accelerating their sustainability efforts which included their packaging materials. This included changing the plastic bags to paper bags as well as for the instructions. Unfortunately, this also goes for the packaging for the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line. Starting in 2023, the minifigures will be packaged in cardboard boxes. This means that feeling for them to find the one you want, which we have done for years, will no longer be relevant. It has also been stated that there will be no indicators on the packaging to show which minifigures will be inside the boxes.

The concept of using cardboard packaging for minifigure type sets has been used for the LEGO VIDIYO Bandmates line and it will soon be implemented for the LEGO Super Mario Character Packs – Series 5 (71410). There is no doubt that this will resort to theft because it’ll be easy to just open up the box in stores and check whatever one is inside. Resellers will also get a boost in profits because they can sell “confirmed” minifigures for people who are looking to complete the set.

Below are some of the concept packaging that LEGO used in testing with people and somehow they landed on cardboard boxes. Obviously, the boxes are recyclable and it helps the environment and all that jazz but come on. The negatives of this decision will overshadow the positives, e.g. lost sales, interactivity with others. I know I’ve helped many people look for a particular minifigure … Continue
