Unveiling Two Exclusive LEGO October GWP 2023 Sets

Here’s another piece of exciting news for LEGO fans worldwide. A LEGO Certified Store in Thailand has recently unveiled two exclusive LEGO October GWP (Gift-With-Purchase) sets for this year. These delightful additions are bound to send waves of excitement through the LEGO community, especially for fans of Pirates and Disney themes.

LEGO October GWP 2023 Promotional Sets

LEGO Creator Scary Pirate Island (40597)

The LEGO Thailand certified store has just released its LEGO Store Calendar for October. And with it comes the reveal of two exciting freebies. The LEGO Creator Scary Pirate Island (40597) is a pretty neat tie-in to the LEGO Icons El Dorado Fortress (10320), with plenty of spooky elements just in time for Halloween.

This LEGO October GWP promises to be a valuable addition to any LEGO collection that celebrates one of the most nostalgic LEGO themes around. It clocks in at 214 pieces featuring a pirate minifigure aboard a mini-raft, and a scary-looking island filled with treasures and Halloween-themed elements.

Key Features

Treasure Galore: Explore a rocky outcrop teeming with hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.
Outpost Adventure: Build a vibrant red and black outpost that adds character to your LEGO world.
Raft Exploration: Assemble a raft to transport your minifigures to and from the island, adding depth to your adventures.

This exciting LEGO October GWP set will be available for purchase between October 13 to 22 for 3,500 THB in Thailand, approximately $90 USD. While the minimum spending requirements for other regions remain unconfirmed, it is safe to assume they will align with this ballpark figure and share the same availability dates.

LEGO Disney Mini Steamboat Willie (40569)

For LEGO enthusiasts with a penchant for all things Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel, this next LEGO October GWP is a must-have addition to your collection. The charming LEGO Disney Mini Steamboat Willie (40569) set pays homage to the 1928 animated classic, Steamboat Willie, featuring a monochromatic brick-built boat and an adorable Mickey Mouse minifigure.

I love the fact that LEGO opted to release a chibi version of its larger cousin the LEGO Ideas Steamboat Willie (21317) in 2019. The set also features the exclusive vintage Mickey Mouse minifigure that is slightly different from the original one released in 2019 because of its black hat and slightly darker torso. If you missed out on grabbing this vintage Mickey Mouse minifigure back then, then now is the best time to add this to your collection.

Key Features

Classic Appeal: Relive the magic of Steamboat Willie with this delightful LEGO October GWP.
Black and White Aesthetic: Embrace the vintage charm of black and white bricks that capture the essence of the original cartoon.
Iconic Minifigure: Display a faithful recreation of the classic Mickey Mouse, reminiscent of his debut in the world of animation.

This exclusive LEGO October GWP 2023 set will be obtainable from October 23 to 31. However, it’s worth noting that it has a higher minimum spend of 5,000 THB (approximately $135 USD), and this offer is exclusively available to LEGO Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel sets.

And speaking about this GWP’s qualifying purchases, and if you’re looking forward to bagging this promotional, then you may want to consider some of the best LEGO sets under the abovementioned themes. You may want to include the LEGO Marvel Black Panther Bust (76215) which is now at 40% over at LEGO.com. There’s also the LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Gunship (75354) if you’re a Star Wars Clone Wars fan. And for Disney fans, the timeless LEGO Disney Castle (43222) is something that you don’t want to miss as well.

Global Availability of these LEGO October GWP 2023 Promotional Sets

While minimum spending requirements for regions outside of Thailand are yet to be confirmed, the release dates will be consistent worldwide. As these highly anticipated GWPs draw near, we can expect further details regarding these enticing free gifts to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

LEGO fans and collectors have much to look forward to this October with the introduction of these two remarkable GWP sets. Whether you’re embarking on a treasure hunt at the Scary Pirate Island or reliving the nostalgia of Mickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie, these LEGO sets surely deserve a spot in our collection.

LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling Coming This October!

Jurassic Park, the ultimate blockbuster in dino storytelling, celebrates its 30th anniversary, leaving an indelible mark on cinema history. And to mark the occasion, streaming platform Peacock is releasing the LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling this October.

While many fans would cringe at the thought of a human-led remake, LEGO’s imaginative spin on the legendary dino saga looks like it will capture the hearts of fans and AFOLs alike. The unveiling of Peacock’s LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling trailer promises a delightful, comedic take on this timeless tale, infusing prehistoric monsters with the whimsy of tiny plastic bricks. Check out the trailer below.

Watch: Recreating the Dino Rush with a Dash of Humor with the LEGO Jurassic Park Trailer

Imagine turning a suspense-action-thriller into a delightful romp without compromising the essentials – like the T. Rex munching on the lawyer (ouch). LEGO Jurassic Park strikes this balance brilliantly.

In the LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling, we witness a whimsical twist as the T. Rex crafts his bathroom tomb before indulging in his lawyer appetizer. Moreover, the story’s framing through the eyes of one of Jurassic Park’s beloved characters is a stroke of genius, providing a fresh perspective on the Isla Nubar catastrophe.

Dr. Ian Malcolm’s Unique Perspective in LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling

As Peacock says in their official synopsis of the LEGO-inspired short film,

From the comfort of his living room and after finding his personal journal, the ever charming and now slightly older Chaos Theory Mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm retells the tale of what happened that dreadful night at Jurassic Park. As only he can do, Dr. Malcolm finds a way to add his own unique humor and style to bring this harrowing story back to life. A theme park destination filled with living dinosaurs for family and kids to enjoy – what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything…just as he had predicted!

As hinted in the synopsis for the LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling, viewers are transported into the fascinating world of Dr. Ian Malcolm, a character beloved by fans of the original Jurassic Park series. From the comfort of his living room, Dr. Malcolm embarks on a journey through time, revisiting the spine-tingling events that unfolded on that fateful night at Jurassic Park.

The choice of a “living room” as the storytelling backdrop adds a layer of relatability and comfort to the narrative. It suggests that Dr. Malcolm, despite the horrors he experienced, is now in a safe and familiar space, ready to share his extraordinary tale. It also sets the stage for a more intimate and personal retelling, as if we, the audience, are invited into his home to hear the story firsthand.

Dr. Ian Malcolm’s charm has always been a highlight of the Jurassic Park franchise, and here we see that charm retained even as he revisits the harrowing past. His ability to inject humor and style into a tale filled with terror is a testament to his unique character. This promises not just a straightforward retelling but an engaging and entertaining narrative. His perspective is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated elements of this LEGO adaptation.

The mention of a “theme park destination filled with living dinosaurs for family and kids to enjoy” further tickles our imagination. Those of us who grew up with the franchise are reminded of the wonder and excitement that drew us to the original Jurassic Park concept. However, the ominous twist in the final statement, “what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything…just as he had predicted!” shrouds the narrative in foreboding. It hints at the impending chaos and danger that await, ensuring that the story retains its suspenseful edge.

LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling – Release Date and More

Get ready to dive into the world of LEGO Jurassic Park as it debuts on Peacock this October 10th. The only drawback, however, is its relatively short runtime, clocking in at just 22 minutes. While many would certainly look forward to a full-scale LEGO recreation of Spielberg’s masterpiece (though you can still catch the fan-favorite LEGO Jurassic Park T. Rex Breakout 76956 set over at LEGO.com), the absence of human actors on screen is a welcome compromise.

If you’re reading this in the US, then you can catch this new LEGO animated film over at PeacockTV. So what do you think about the new LEGO Jurassic Park The Unofficial Retelling? Are you excited about this upcoming short film? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.

LEGO Ideas Disney Magic Set Coming Soon!

Here’s another LEGO set to watch out for – the Disney-inspired LEGO Ideas Disney Magic set.

If you happened to miss it, the LEGO Ideas platform hosted a thrilling building challenge back in May this year. The challenge beckoned members to cast their votes for the most captivating Disney-inspired MOCs (My Own Creations), including enchanting dioramas and meticulously crafted brick-built characters. All of this is to commemorate Disney’s incredible century of enchanting fairy tales. Now, following the collective tally of votes in July, it seems we’re in for a treat with the forthcoming official LEGO release – the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic set, slated to be released soon.

The LEGO Ideas Disney Magic is the Next LEGO Set to Watch Out For

The grand prize was awarded to the phenomenal creation, the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic, masterfully conceived by fan builder 2A2A. This creation offers us a glimpse into what the final LEGO set might look like once it graces the market.

Within this enchanting set, you’ll find a Sorcerer Mickey from the classic Fantasia film, meticulously built using LEGO bricks. Surrounding him, an array of minifigure versions pay homage to the iconic Disney characters that have been an integral part of our childhood:

1. Belle from Beauty and the Beast

2. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian from The Little Mermaid

3. Pride Rock from The Lion King

4. Sultan’s palace and the flying Carpet from Aladdin

5. Pumpkin coach from Cinderella

6. Stitch riding the wave from Lilo and Stitch

7. Elsa from Frozen showcasing her ice magic

8. Pinocchio and the wooden raft from the chase with the whale Monstro

As mentioned by 2A2A, selecting a single Disney classic story that captures a century of Disney magic posed quite a challenge. The hope is that this soon-to-be LEGO Ideas set can effectively convey the plethora of timeless classics that have graced the world over the years. Ultimately, it aims to offer a truly magical tableau, one that will captivate the hearts of both Disney aficionados and dedicated LEGO fans alike.

Availability and Release Date of the LEGO Ideas Disney Magic

This submission, which marks LEGO’s latest collaboration with retail giant Target, will be joining an illustrious lineup of other products currently in development.

Stay tuned as I’ll be regularly updating you with the latest news on how to get your hands on this set. While we don’t have a confirmed release date just yet, it’s reasonable to speculate that it might hit the shelves sometime in the first quarter of 2024.

It’s also worth celebrating the remarkable achievements of the other runner-up winners in the Fan Vote. Their contributions were outstanding and deserve hearty congratulations for a job well done. A huge congratulations to ChaMi for the runner-up entry, Just a Little Bit of Pixie Dust, and Fantasia (1940) – The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by BrickStability

LEGO Made From Recycled Plastic Bottles Will No Longer be a Thing

In a surprising turn of events, the LEGO Group has announced that it has recently abandoned its initial commitment of providing LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles.

This decision has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the true environmental impact of such a shift. Let’s look into why LEGO had a change of heart and explore its quest for sustainability.

Sustainability Is Not Possible With LEGO Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

LEGO initially made headlines in 2021 by announcing its intention to transition to recycled plastic bottles as source material for its bricks. However, the company is now retracting that promise, citing concerns over the sustainability of plastic bottles. According to a report by CBS News, LEGO expressed its decision not to proceed with this plan, emphasizing that it did not contribute to reducing carbon emissions.

Backtracking on Plastic Bottles

The backtrack on plastic bottles is a notable shift for LEGO. The company disclosed its groundbreaking endeavor when it unveiled its first brick crafted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) obtained from recycled bottles.

Unfortunately, it seems that the recycling of bottles into LEGO bricks did not meet the company’s expectations in terms of environmental benefits. Despite this setback, LEGO is not giving up on its sustainability goals.

Before this, LEGO had already delved into using plant-based components made from sustainably sourced sugarcane. This means that the impact on the environment caused by producing plastic bricks was significantly lower as compared to their usual methods of creating ABS plastic.

But this seems not to be the case with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles or those made from polyethylene terephthalate or PET. After more than two years of testing, LEGO eventually realized through numerous tests that moving forward with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles didn’t reduce carbon emissions.

Seeking Sustainable Alternatives

LEGO is actively exploring alternative sustainable materials for its iconic bricks and aims to achieve this transition by 2032. Even though pushing through with LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles proved to be an eventual setback, LEGO, as a socially responsible company, is still committed to testing and developing other sustainable sources.

A History of Sustainability

LEGO’s journey toward sustainable manufacturing didn’t begin in 2021. Back in 2018, the company made significant strides by announcing its utilization of sugarcane-based bioplastics. While sugarcane represents a more sustainable option compared to traditional plastic derived from fossil fuels, it possesses different characteristics, being softer and more flexible. As a result, LEGO has primarily employed sugarcane plastic in its lineup of plant-shaped bricks, particularly with the introduction of its Plants from Plants (40320) promotional set back in 2018.

40320 alt1 — The 2018 promotional item LEGO Plants From Plants 40320 was the first-ever set made from plant-based materials for its plastics.

The decision to step back from LEGO made from recycled plastic bottles underscores the LEGO Group’s unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability. While this specific avenue may not have yielded the desired results, LEGO’s exploration of alternative sustainable materials signifies a dedication to finding more eco-friendly solutions for its iconic products.

So what do you think of this move? Do you agree with LEGO in ditching its plans of creating bricks and pieces from recycled PET bottles? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
