LEGO Brand Store (40528) Set Revealed

December 31, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In the past day, there have been reviews that have surfaced of a brand new LEGO Store (40528) set. It looks like the consensus is that you can get it for free starting next year with purchases of $125 when new LEGO stores are opened.

The store includes details that you can find in a real LEGO store such as the Pick-a-Brick wall, various stickered sets, the wooden duck, and what looks to be the Tree of Discovery which is seen in the New York flagship store.

It’s a decent niche set but a majority of you will probably never get it if it for store grand openings. You can usually check the LEGO store calendar to see which stores will be opening and hopefully there’s one that will be opening near you.

Last Few Days for Retiring LEGO Sets – December 2021

December 30, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s about a day and a half left until the new year rolls around and that means there will be brand new LEGO sets available for purchase on the LEGO Shop. That unfortunately also means that older sets will be rotated out as they will be retired. There will still be some time to purchase them but note that once they are listed as sold out/retired, they won’t be available again, at least on the LEGO Shop. If the listing says temporarily out of stock, there might still be some on the way but it won’t be that many. You can probably still find them at other retailers as well as on the secondary market. LEGO has overhauled their Retiring Soon soon page and there’s nothing listed but the list below is what is presumed to be the sets that will be gone soon.

LEGO Ideas Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone (21331) Officially Announced

December 28, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas set to be released with the Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone (21331). Releasing on January 1, the set has 1,125 pieces and will retail for $69.99/£59.99/€69.99/119.9 AUD/89.99 CAD.

The original idea by Viv Grannell was supposed to be based on Sonic Mania’s version of the Green Hill Zone but instead we’re getting the original Sonic version of the stage. The main difference here is the original project had the Death Egg Robot which is the mech but instead, the set includes the Egg Wrecker. I’m not sure why the change as fans voted for Sonic Mania and not the Sonic 1 but I guess Sonic Mania isn’t as well known as the original.

Note that the set includes some pins on the side so you can get multiples of the set and add on to it to create a large Green Hill Zone. Also, the Sonic minifigure has been slightly updated from 2016.

Making a return in 2022 for the LEGO Marvel theme are the buildable character sets and the first one is the Iron Man Figure (76206). Unlike the buildable characters from years past with the cartoony looks, these sets are more screen accurate. Releasing on January 1, the set has 381 pieces and will retail for $39.99. Let’s see if the set is worth that price point.

LEGO Gaming Horizon Zero Dawn Tallneck (76989) Product Listing Found

December 22, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There been talk of a new LEGO Gaming subtheme that is said to be coming out in 2022 and it looks like a set for the them has been revealed at a German toy retailer. The listing suggests that we could be seeing a set from Horizon Zero Dawn which is the Tallneck (76989). It is listed as a 18+ set so we’ll most likely see the newer style of boxes and it is priced at €79.99. The set has been rumored before and it was reported to have 1,222 pieces. If you’re not familiar with the Tallneck from Horizon Zero Dawn, they are machine creatures that Aloy tracks down to progress in the game.

It’s interesting that LEGO chose Horizon Zero Dawn as one of the games for the LEGO Games theme since it’s been over four years since the game released with the sequel, Horizon Forbidden West, set to be released in February 2022 and the Tallneck to be released in May 2022.

LEGO Survey Gauges Interest on New Subscription Programs

December 22, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has kicked off a new survey in the Rewards Center to measure the interest of some new LEGO subscription programs. Under the “Get More Points” tab, the survey gives you 150 VIP points for completing and it asks you about two different subscription plans. Both plans will cost $4.99 per month and they will both include the following:

• Free delivery on your LEGO purchases
• Early access to products, experiences and content (video, audio, building instructions & games)
• Access to limited edition products
• Purchase from back catalogue (get sets from previous years, etc.)
• Return used bricks and receive discounts/points to use elsewhere with TLG
• Free gifts with every purchase

Other than that, both plans have slightly different features. The first plan allows you to track your collection digitially using a LEGO wallet while also having your other LEGO experiences in one place. The second plan focuses more on the learning aspect of LEGO where you have workshops and courses from LEGO experts.

Obviously, this is still in the early stages and does not mean that LEGO will actually be doing a subscription service. Personally, I chose the first plan as those features are geared towards me more. If you have younger kids, maybe the other plan with the learning features are more suited for you. Again, you can get 150 VIP points for completing the survey but you have until January 7 to do so.
