LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons – Collector’s Edition (76391) Delayed to September 15 in NA

Two weekends ago, we had a nice feature on the magnificent LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons – Collector’s Edition (76391). If you recall, this impressive set includes LEGO reproductions of multiple key items from the “Harry Potter” universe. There’s random stuff like books, Hermione’s potions bottles, Ron’s chocolate frog, and customizable brick-built House scarf. It also includes vital equipment like Harry’s glasses and wand, Golden Snitch, and Tom Riddle’s Diary/Voldemort’s Horcrux. It’s all topped off with a better brick build of Hedwig the Owl than her standalone LEGO set (75979) from 2020.

We also told you to expect this 18+ to arrive this coming Thursday, September. Well, about that retail release date… If you live outside North America then rejoice, it is still coming as planned. If you live in Canada, the US, and Mexico, then you’re going to have to wait. The Brick Fan has it that LEGO.com announced a delay in the North American release of LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons – Collector’s Edition (76391). It will now come out instead on September 15, nearly 2 weeks after the 2nd.

Here’s the text of LEGO’s set delay announcement:

The LEGO Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Icons Collectors’ Edition will now launch on September 15th in the US, Canada, and Mexico, rather than September 2nd as originally planned due to a shipping delay in the US. The set will be available for online only pre-order at LEGO.com beginning September 2nd. The product will be available in LEGO Retail stores on September 15th.

Shipping delays have long been a recurring snag in the arrival of new LEGO sets for retail, especially in North America. It probably is not going to change anytime soon, and collectors have always been willing to wait. So there it is; expect the Hogwarts Icons Collector’s Edition (75979) set to arrive September 2 outside NA, and September 15 within it.

Check Out This List of Retiring LEGO Sets For H1 2021

As LEGO began to roll out its wave of new sets this 2nd half of 2021, it is also expected that the company will begin clearing out from its shelves (both from its physical stores and online) several of its previous sets that are expected to reach its end of life very soon. Retiring LEGO sets are almost always of particular interest to the LEGO fan community, considering that most of us still have that one set that we are looking forward to ticking out from our LEGO must-have bucket list. And recently, Stone Wars have released a very comprehensive list of all the retiring LEGO sets that are expected to quietly exit or may have exited already, from LEGO stores and online, during the 1st half of this year.

The list of these retiring LEGO sets for H1 2021 is presented here.  In case you’re interested, you may click on the following LEGO Shop@Home affiliate links below to check out their current availability. Some of these sets may be temporarily out of stock or tagged as already sold out as I’ve checked a while ago as of this posting. Nevertheless, it is still helpful to check if your expected LEGO set is still included in this listing.

Just a disclaimer though – like previously retired LEGO sets, this list is not 100% accurate considering how fast these retiring LEGO sets might sell out. So I encourage you to do a quick search over at LEGO Shop@Home. A huge thanks to Stone Wars once again for sharing and verifying this list.

LEGO Seasonal Penguin (40498) Coming Soon Just in Time for the Holidays

Just recently, LEGO has revealed a wave of seasonal sets that we can expect this August. And on top of that, just in time for the holidays, we will also have the LEGO Seasonal Penguin (40498).

40498 1

To be precise, this set is not yet listed at LEGO Shop@Home as of this writing. But the arrival of the LEGO Seasonal Penguin is confirmed by this year’s LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497) box art. As far as I recall, this is the first time that LEGO has offered a seasonal set following this usual holiday symbol. The penguin was usually a staple of LEGO’s Monthly Mini Builds, and it’s great to see that a seasonal set has been designed that is focused entirely on this cute, arctic creature. The LEGO Seasonal Penguin (40498) also seems to incorporate the same display stand as its seasonal predecessors, and most likely stands between 11-12 cm like that of the Halloween Owl.

We do not have further details as of today with regards to its piece count and availability, but the retail price is definitely expected to be $15 as well. This may likewise be the last seasonal set to be offered for this year following this theme and design.

If you’re a LEGO completionist and are looking forward to adding this set to your brick-built seasonal collection, then be sure to check with LEGO Shop@Home. Or you can also bookmark our blog site to receive future updates with regards to this set.

Add Some Spooky Fun With the LEGO Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493)

Alongside this year’s LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497) set, LEGO also introduces another spooky fun way to celebrate this year’s Halloween. The LEGO Spider & Haunted House Pack (40493) is a great way to add some fun to your Halloween decors, giving it that magical LEGO touch.

40493 alt3

This pair of ornaments come in at 132 pieces and will retail for $10 when the set becomes available in August. It follows the same home decor concept as that from last year’s LEGO Seasonal Pumpkin & Bat Duo (854049). I practically love how the spider turned out, and I have to say that it is more on the cuter side of the spectrum rather than being horrific. The mini haunted house is also a great addition especially given its use of masonry bricks and teal-colored elements.

Similarly, you may add this to your LEGO wishlist if you want to be reminded of this set once it becomes available next month. Just click on the following affiliate link below.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497) Coming in August, 2021

The LEGO online shopping portal has now listed our Halloween Seasonal set for this year. Following the likes of the LEGO Valentine’s Brown Bear (40462) and the Easter Bunny (40463), we now have the LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497) coming in August.

40497 alt3

Coming in at 228 pieces, the Halloween Owl (40497) is expected to retail for $15 once it is made available to the public starting August 1. Similar to its predecessors, this year’s series of seasonal sets seem to highlight the brick-built animals that represent the seasons and occasions. This is further suggested when you take a look at the back of the Halloween Owl’s box art where LEGO also gives us a glimpse of the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Penguin (40498) set just in time for the holidays.

The LEGO Seasonal Halloween Owl (40497) stands at around 11 cm tall, on top of a display stand and flanked by brick-built pumpkins and several flower elements. The Halloween Owl also features a display stand that can be rotated, a pair of adjustable eyes, and movable wings for adding some dynamic poses.

LEGO Ninjago fans in the UK and Europe might be glad to know that the commemorative LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) set is now back in stock over at UK LEGO Shop@Home. The said celebratory set was also made available in the US earlier this month but is now unavailable because of the understandable demand from fans.

Initially, the LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) set was offered as a promotional set during the whole month of June. For an additional $10 over your single-receipt LEGO Ninjago purchase worth $85, this limited-edition 3-in-1 BrickHeadz will be added to your card accordingly. The set is originally valued at $30 and features the BrickHeadz versions of Golden Lloyd, Nya Samurai X, and the Firstbourne Dragon.
