LEGO Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (10299) Rumored for 2022

October 23, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It looks like we could be seeing another LEGO football stadium coming in 2022 with the home of Real Madrid, Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (10299). It is said to be priced at $349.99 and will come with a gift-with-purchase set 40541. It looks like a new stadium set will be an annual thing since the Old Trafford – Manchester United (10272) was released back in 2020 and Camp Nou – FC Barcelona (10284) last month.

Currently Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is under renovation that is expected to be completed in 2022 which will have the completed look shown above. It is unsure if LEGO will be using the new stadium look or the original look at this time. LEGO does their production planning years in advance so it’s possible that they’ve had details of the new look to create this set.

LEGO Ninjago – Fate of Cole’s Character Announced

October 19, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, the voice actor for LEGO Ninjago’s Cole, Kirby Morrow, passed away suddenly and the LEGO Ninjago team had to figure out what to do with the character. They had four options on what to with Cole and they have given a reasoning on why they did it.
