August 24, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has partnered with Tongal to launch a brand new story development platform called LEGO World Builder. This opportunity gives LEGO fans direct access to the LEGO creative team to develop stories, shows, and more.

If you remember, LEGO asked for beta testers back in April for a new project and the end result is LEGO World Builder. Since LEGO has been getting tons of ideas from fans for new content, LEGO World Builder will allow fans to create the content themselves to show off which includes using existing LEGO IP. Head on over to worldbuilder.tongal.com get started.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Regional Exclusive Confusion

August 23, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) went up for pre-order yesterday here in the US and there was much outrage at LEGO because it was only sold here and not anywhere else in the world. There’s no official word on why but I may have some reasoning behind it.

I believe this set was intended to be sold at San Diego Comic Con but that didn’t happen this year and DC decided to do their own event and LEGO had to sell it somehow. San Diego Comic Con exclusives usually aren’t sold outside of the US besides by third party sellers who attend. So technically, the LEGO Wonder Woman set isn’t a “regional exclusive” but I can see why fans are frustrated at the situation. There are, however, some good people out there on social media who are willing to help out fans in other countries. Feel free to post a comment and someone may see it and help you out.

Pre-orders for the set are still being taken on LEGO Shop@Home as well as at Walmart. I’m don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced so if you’re in the US and want an easy convention exclusive, I would suggest putting your order in.

LEGO Hidden Side Amazon Sale – August 2020

August 21, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With the news of the LEGO Hidden Side rumored to be discontinued at the end of the year, Amazon currently has a lot of sets on sale for larger discounts than before. Some of these sales are the lowest they have been on the site. Considering that we don’t get many LEGO spooky themes, this might be the last time we see the sets for a few years until a new theme is introduced. The summer 2020 wave will be available on LEGO Shop@Home on August 24.

LEGO Braille Bricks Officially Launches

August 20, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It may seem like a long time ago but last year LEGO announced they were producing LEGO sets to help visually impaired children learn Braille. After a successful test in different countries and languages, LEGO Braille Bricks has been officially launched. Check out the details below on how to acquire them.

LEGO® Braille Bricks to launch in twenty countries over the next six months following successful pilot program

The LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group roll out the first wave of the program in partnership with local sight loss organizations to help children with vision impairment learn critical thinking, problem solving and collaboration through play.

Billund, August 20th 2020: Today, the LEGO Foundation and the LEGO Group announced the official launch of LEGO Braille Bricks in seven countries, including Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, UK and USA. The program was first unveiled as a pilot project in April 2019 during the Sustainable Brands Conference in Paris, France – home ground of Braille inventor, Louis Braille. Since then, the concept has been tested across various languages and cultural contexts and is ready to launch in six languages, including Danish, Norwegian, English, Portuguese, German and French. Four additional language versions will launch over the next six months, with the ambition that the concept will be implemented in a total of eleven languages across twenty countries by early 2021.

LEGO Braille Bricks introduces a fun and engaging way to help children with vision impairment develop tactile skills and learn the braille system. The bricks are moulded so that the

LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) to be Available on LEGO Shop@Home

August 17, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO August/September 2020 Catalog is starting to hit mailboxes and there’s something interesting that you may be interested in if you’re a LEGO Star Wars fan. On page 49 at the bottom, it shows a listing for the Bespin Duel (75294) which was supposed to be an exclusive set to either SDCC 2020 or Star Wars Celebration 2020. Due to both of them not happening this year, it looks like LEGO has decided to sell it on their own. This most likely means it will be available on LEGO Shop@Home. We now also have pricing for the set which is $39.99 for 295 pieces. There’s no word on when it will be released but I’m assuming it’ll be September 1 along with the other LEGO Star Wars sets. Also, we don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced for it so it could be a limited run.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks Book Announced

August 17, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple of weeks ago, LEGO on the LEGO Ideas platform did a fan vote for an upcoming book geared towards AFOLs and the winning title has been announced as The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks. You will be able to pre-order it at Unbound and if you do, your name will be printed on the back of the book. There will also be rewards as part of the pre-orders including a print of the LEGO Wooden Duck with more to be revealed later on.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks won’t be released until 2022 but the pre-orders will be accepted through early 2021. The book will feature a variety of LEGO elements, from monorail tracks and wheels to smart bricks, the Mask of Life from BIONICLE, and more. It will be written by Daniel Konstanski, US editor of Blocks Magazine, who I’ve met before a few times at Philly Brick Fest.
