LEGO Kicks Off How to Spot a Fake LEGO Webstore Campaign

November 24, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With more people shopping online this year, there’s also a higher chance that people get scammed by some fake websites who are set up just to steal your credit card/personal information. LEGO has kicked off a campaign to teach shoppers how to spot a fake LEGO webstore. For most of us who have been in the hobby for a while, we can easily spot them but this is for some newer fans who are looking for deals.

The most evident sign is that the site is selling expensive sets at really low prices. If you see the UCS Millennium Falcon that is normally priced at $799.99 selling for $200, that’s obviously not going to happen. There was a legit sale last year for it when it went down to $480 but that was on Amazon which is a legit seller of LEGO.

LEGO on the backend has been taking down some of these fake sites but as we know, you take one down, two more pops up. If you see them on social media, you can always report them but it depends on if there are enough reports to get them taken down. The post also suggests that you can contact LEGO Customer Service to report them.

New LEGO Harry Potter Activity Books Coming Soon

November 22, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Publishing company AMEET has posted their library of books coming out in 2021 and there will be some LEGO Harry Potter ones that you may be interested in. As we know, LEGO books will usually contain exclusive minifigures and it looks like there will be some included in a few activity books.

One of these books is called LEGO Harry Potter Let’s Play Quidditch and it will include a Cedric Diggory minifigure in his Hufflepuff quidditch outfit. Note that although the minifigure is exclusive, the torso is also found in Diagon Alley (75978).

The other book is called LEGO Harry Potter Magical Trouble and this one has the Lucius Malfoy minifigure which is the same one that is found in Diagon Alley. This activity book will be a cheaper way to get it.

There are quite a few new exclusives that you can pick up including the LEGO DC 1989 Batwing (76161), LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274), and LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street (21324). The LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V (92176) and LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (92177) have also been re-released with new set numbers if you missed out on the original release.

This is probably the premier LEGO shopping event of the year that many people have been waiting for. If you do want the promo items, I suggest getting your orders in early as they may sell out before the weekend is over. It’s hard to tell if LEGO will hold some stock over until next week when Black Friday actually starts so don’t hesitate.
