It’s well-known that LEGO, with the freedom of building their products provide, gets plenty of mileage from fan contributions. The most prominent venue of this is LEGO Ideas. Their website invites submissions to fun activities, prize-winning content and the chance to make their custom builds into official sets. Outside that, LEGO has been known to invite popular builders to join their design teams. They’ve also engaged LEGO media-makers like animators (3D or stop-motion) to do commissioned production work. This particular avenue just gave YouTube LEGO animator Forrest “forrestfire101” Whaley a big break. Here’s his new animated video featuring all the latest LEGO Star Wars sets around.
As BrickFanatics tells it, the LEGO Group tapped forrestfire101 to do a stop-animation promo vid to highlight their latest sets. His output, featured on his YouTube channel, features some choice recent-release LEGO Star Wars sets. The setting is the Mos Espa racetrack from “The Phantom Menace.” As for the competitors:
The race starts out similar to the Podrace sequence from “Phantom Menace,” then escalates as only LEGO can. Whaley’s stop-motion visuals make this minute-and-a-half video a non-stop LEGO Star Wars extravaganza. And you might have an idea which of the racers wins. All in all, this is a fun promo vid commissioned by LEGO, one that would excite LEGO Star Wars collectors.
Some LEGO rumors get confirmed or debunked in a matter of days or weeks. Other times it takes up to a month or more before the truth comes out. The former case just happened with the LEGO Disney “Encanto” sets, first hinted late October and revealed over a week later. In the latter case we look to this rumor since September of a new LEGO Star Wars AT-AT UCS-grade set. This one feels more nebulous considering LEGO did release a new AT-AT set just this past 2020. But the rumor claims the UCS AT-AT might be revealed sometime this November.
And chalk up another one to Brick Fanatics for catching this new rumor on the aforementioned alleged set. They point to lego_club_news on Instagram for putting a specific date this month for a possible UCS AT-AT reveal. There is a possibility that LEGO might finally say something about that Tuesday next week, November 9. If true, then this LEGO Star Wars UCS set will out-price the LEGO Titanic at $800 ($799.99?). Other tidbits relating to this rumor include the possible set number (75313?) and piece number (6,782?). A UCS Imperial AT-AT will definitely tower over standard minifigure-size Stormtroopers, for sure.
Our standard spiel regarding rumors on TheBrick Show goes here. Take the above with a grain of salt until LEGO themselves give the official word. It’s not as if we’ll have long to wait for any possible confirmation, anyway.
Last September 30 saw the UK release of “No Time to Die”: the 25th “James Bond” movie. It was also the fifth and final installment starring actor Daniel Craig. At risk of spoilers, let’s say this film was an ending in more ways than one. And we’re not just talking about Craig’s Bond retiring from duty while a female agent inherits his 007 designation. Now rewind to three years ago, when LEGO released the Creator Expert Aston Martin DB5 (10262). The quintessential 007 vehicle debuted in 1964’s “Goldfinger” during the Sean Connery Days. Craig himself first used it in his third film, “Skyfall” in 2015.
And just as “No Time to Die” became Daniel Craig’s Bond swan song, so is his LEGO DB5 retiring. Brick Fanatics notes that the Creator Expert Aston Martin set (10262) will be retired at the end of 2021. One might see this as a case of the stars aligning or such. The LEGO Aston Martin DB5’s leaving shelves and Shop@Home months after its real-life counterpart’s latest film appearance? It can only be fate. Collectors and “James Bond” fans might soon swarm over any stock of the set out there. The new movie’s also helping LEGO Aston Martin (10262) regain attention.
“No Time to Die” already premiered in the UK. The North American release follows on October 8. LEGO Creator Expert Aston Martin DB5 (10262) still costs $149.99 on LEGO Shop@Home. We recommend to you get one now, before it retires at the end of 2021. Check out this trailer of “No Time to Die” for a shot of the Bond-use DB5 in action, if you need more incentive to buy.
The LEGO Marvel Eternals sets now have a confirmed released date, as confirmed by LEGO’s home shopping portal. LEGO Shop@Home has now officially listed these four tie-in sets, with a release date of October 1st.
Though images of these sets were well-circulated online several months ago, their official product descriptions now give us a better look at what to expect from them once they are made available next month. And the timing of the release couldn’t be better considering that MCU’s Eternals will finally arrive in theaters come November 5th.
There is no option to pre-order the LEGO Marvel Eternals sets, but you may want to add these to your LEGO wishlist right now. And while you’re at it, check out their official images below. You may also click on their respective affiliate links for full product descriptions.
Last week, LEGO announced the apparent delay of its highly anticipated LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons – Collectors’ Edition (76391) set. If you recall, the initial plan was to have this LEGO 18+ set released today. But due to unavoidable shipping delays, its official release date will be moved two weeks later on September 15. It’s a bit disappointing actually, especially for those who are eagerly waiting to build and display this magnificent set.
Thankfully, LEGO Shop@Home has opted to offer a kind of consolation to fans. Because starting today, you may now pre-order the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Icons – Collectors’ Edition (76391) over at LEGO’s home shopping portal. Take note however that this pre-order opportunity is only available online, so expect that this set might end up being in backorder status rather quickly.

LEGO® Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Icons – Collectors’ Edition is a recreation of some of the series’ most memorable imagery, brought together in a celebratory display piece created with adult enthusiasts in mind.
A captivating collection of magical mementos This homage to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter features many iconic artifacts in a single, stunning model. There’s Harry’s wand and glasses; Ron’s chocolate frog; Hermione’s potion tray containing 5 bottles of potions and magical ingredients (including Gillyweed, Felix Felicis ‘liquid luck’ and Polyjuice); Tom Riddle’s diary; the Golden Snitch; and a school scarf (customizable to suit any Hogwarts™ House). On top of this enchanting ensemble sits Hedwig™ the owl, holding a much-coveted invitation to Hogwarts. This fascinating model is accompanied by 3 exclusive golden minifigures – Albus Dumbledore™, Minerva McGonagall™, and Rubeus Hagrid™ – and a display stand with a decorated tile celebrating 20 years of LEGO Harry Potter.

Includes iconic artifacts: Harry’s wand and glasses, a tray of potions, Tom Riddle’s diary, the Golden Snitch, a Hogwarts™ scarf, Hedwig™ carrying an invitation to Hogwarts™ and more.
Also includes 3 exclusive anniversary golden minifigures – Albus Dumbledore™, Minerva McGonagall™, and Rubeus Hagrid™ – and a stand decorated with a tile celebrating 20 years of LEGO® Harry Potter™.
This rewarding project provides a hands-on, stress-relieving building experience, as 3,010 LEGO® bricks gradually transform into a stunning, full-size evocation of the Harry Potter™ universe.
This captivating construction project makes a great birthday gift, Christmas present, or personal treat for any model-making enthusiast or adult fan of the Harry Potter™ movies.

September 1 saw the expected release of multiple LEGO sets and extras. Among them is LEGO Minifigures Marvel Studios (71031), a new series of 12 minifigs of characters from the MCU. Specifically, they hail from the live-action limited series and animated anthology What If available on Disney+ streaming. Each LEGO Minifigures 71031 foil pack gives you a shot at getting Variant Loki from Loki, Scarlet Witch from WandaVision, T’Challa Star-Lord from What If, and more. But if you’re got little patience for scouring single minifig packs then LEGO has an alternative approach for you – the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Marvel Studios 6-Pack (66678).
Why bother opening multiple bags for one character at a time, when you can shoot for six? Check out LEGO Collectible Minifigures Marvel Studios 6-Pack (66678), now listed at Shop@Home. Every 6-Pack of 66678 contains six 71031 minifigures. It’s worth $29.94 or exactly six $4.99 LEGO minifig bags. How’s that for great convenience?
Grouping single bags of LEGO minifigures in a series isn’t exactly new. In a way that’s quite helpful for collectors. If there are any catches then they would be these two snags. Number 1: buying on Shop@Home will limit the quantity of LEGO Marvel Studios 6-Pack (66678) to three per household. That’s 18 chances to collect 12 characters. Number 2: as of this writing, both the 6-pack and the individual 71031 minifigure bags are sold out at Shop@Home (in the US at least). Hopefully, they’ll restock soon; these items are new after all. Online shoppers just need only wait some more.
After making their initial appearance over at third-party retailer sites, LEGO Shop@Home has made it official. Two new LEGO Batman Batmobile Tumbler sets are now available for pre-order at LEGO Shop@Home.
These new sets, the larger 18+ LEGO LEGO DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler (76240) and the LEGO DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown (76239) are both slated to be released on November 1 and October 1 respectively. I expect that the former will be a hit to LEGO collectors especially if you missed out on its 2014 predecessor. In case you want to secure these Instagram-worthy sets, then LEGO is giving fans the opportunity of pre-ordering them starting today.
Check out the following official images and product descriptions below, and while you’re at it, you may want to click on their respective LEGO Shop@Home links as well.

It’s September, and that means the year 2021 is on its final quarter stretch. For LEGO this means a big wave of product releases serving as a teaser for the coming holidays. Multiple new LEGO sets take center stage in this release bonanza. Licensed LEGO themes such as Marvel, Star Wars, Jurassic World, and Harry Potter all have new sets to offer this month. Let’s take a look at these new arrivals, all currently listed over at LEGO Shop@Home. To add them to your LEGO carts, you may click on their respective affiliate links below.
Released by Warner Bros. from 2005 to 2012, the “Dark Knight Trilogy” Batman movies have been counted as one of the best trilogies produced. Thanks to a Warner-LEGO partnership that created “The LEGO Movie” in 2014, the DKT also received lots of brick-set love. That same year saw the LEGO DC line roll out the “Dark Knight” Batmobile, aka the Tumbler (76023). It was a beautiful black beast of a hero-vehicle with Batman and Joker minifigures included. It may be retired now, but LEGO remembers a hit design. That might explain the reason behind these two new offerings for the iconic LEGO Batmobile Tumbler.
Brickset dug up info on these sets from Japan, of all places. One version, listed on Amazon Japan, appears to be a revamp of the 2014 LEGO DC Tumbler (76023). Its new number is 76240, with 2,049 pieces to the former’s 1,869. Looks-wise, it seems to be a bit more detailed than set 76023. It even comes with a rotating stand for static display. The included Batman and Joker minifigs also sport new looks and a more gothic-themed display ledge.
Next, let’s look at another brick version of the Tumbler that popped up on Japanese retail chain Yodobashi’s website. The LEGO Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown (76239) clocks in at 422 pieces and is a much simpler version of set 76240. The set comes with forward-firing stud-shooters and what seems to be a new minifigure version of the villainous Scarecrow.
Amazon Japan’s listing of the larger LEGO Batmobile Tumbler (76240) will go on sale on November 1 and is priced at 25,330 Yen ($230). Yodobashi’s listing for the LEGO Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown (76239) on the other hand will arrive earlier on October 1. They’re pricing their set at just 6,000 Yen or $55. Of course, it’s likely LEGO Shop@Home and other retailers around the world will have begun listing these two by then. We’ll see if these estimated dollar conversions of the Japanese retail prices are spot on. We’ll also give you further updates once these new LEGO Batmobile Tumbler sets are listed at LEGO’s home shopping portals.
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.
