StoneWars has given an extensive list on what has gone out of stock in Germany and what sets we can expect to leave store shelves soon in other parts of the world.

August 13, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve been holding off on the LEGO Disney Train and Station (71044), you may want to pick it up soon. Rumors were swirling that it would be retired by the end of 2021 and it looks like it has already happened in various parts of the world. I’m not sure when it happened but it has already been listed as a retired product in Belgium, Germany, and Luxemburg.

The set was released in August 2019 so it had the standard two year run although it seemed way longer than that. Even though it is not listed as a retiring product, take this as an early warning that it will be soon. Thanks to Jari for the heads up.

LEGO Celebrates 89th Birthday

August 10, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today, LEGO celebrates its 89th birthday. On this day way back in 1932, Ole Kirk Christiansen began making his iconic wooden toys. It wasn’t until 1958 when the first brick was patented by his son and the rest is history. If you haven’t seen The LEGO Story below, it’s a great animated video showing LEGO’s history.

I don’t think there’s anything special planned for today but we can surely expect something big for next year when LEGO celebrates nine decades of play. One thing is the 90th anniversary fan vote in which LEGO will be choosing a classic theme to make a set for.
