Get Ready to Swing With These 4 New LEGO Donkey Kong Sets!

In case you missed it, LEGO has officially announced the release of a wave of new LEGO Donkey Kong sets that further expand its highly successful LEGO Super Mario theme. Following a teaser from several days ago, LEGO has finally listed four new LEGO Donkey Kong sets slated to arrive on shelves in August. The exciting reveal marks the beginning of a new wave of inspiration from Nintendo franchises.

A Brief History of Donkey Kong

For the younger generation who may be unfamiliar with the iconic video game character, Donkey Kong (DK) was first introduced in 1981. He first debuted as the dotting villain in an arcade game where he is pitted against the pixelized hero Mario. And in 1994, DK saw a revival when gaming developer Rare released Donkey Kong Country. It is a side-scrolling platformer game that boasted pre-rendered 3D graphics that were quite ahead of its time. Aside from the inclusion of Donkey Kong’s flashy red tie, he is now viewed as the hero of the game paving the way for him to become a Nintendo mainstay.

Now, LEGO has introduced another milestone to Donkey Kong and his clan, as they will now receive their official LEGO versions. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from these new LEGO Donkey Kong sets before they arrive in August.

While it’s quite a challenge to narrow down all the ideal LEGO Disney Villain to include in this set, I’m personally happy with this selection. This set, villainous as it may seem, adds a nice touch and ties in well with the LEGO Disney theme.

LEGO Disney Duos (43226)

Like its villainous LEGO Disney Villain Icons counterpart, the LEGO Disney Duos set showcases some famous side character companions from various Disney films, from the older classics to newer releases.

The buildable figures include Pua and Hei Hei from Moana, Squirt and Nemo from Finding Nemo, Meeko and Percy from Pocahontas, and the classic pair of Lumiere and Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast.

This set is perfect for younger children, aged 6+, who are just starting to get into LEGO and Disney. The buildable figures are not just loaded with fun play features, but they also make great collectibles and display for LEGO Disney fans of all ages.

Pricing and Release Date

While both sets are yet to make their official appearance at LEGO.com, Bricks Megastore marks both the LEGO Disney Villain Icons and LEGO Disney Duos sets for a July 1st release date. The latter is expected to retail for 209.99 AUD (or roughly 140 USD) and the former for 72.99 AUD (48 to 50 USD) as seen from the Australian LEGO certified store website. There’s also an option to pre-order these if you live anywhere near their stores.

And since this is already listed at LEGO partner stores, then I guess it’s just a matter of days before we see these sets make their official debut at LEGO’s official online shopping portal.

Overall, the LEGO Disney Villain Icons and Disney Duos sets are perfect for fans of Disney and LEGO alike. They offer unique and exciting collectibles that are sure to impress and delight forever Disney fans. Just be on the lookout for these sets and let us know if you spot them near your local LEGO Store. And as always, bookmark our website for the latest updates on these upcoming sets.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2023: Everything You Need to Know

LEGO Star Wars fans, mark your calendars because May the 4th event is just around the corner! Let’s take a look at the recently revealed LEGO Star Wars May the 4th offerings that will be available during this much-anticipated event. Plus the best deals and free gifts that you can grab during the celebrations.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2023: Freebies with Purchases

This year’s LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotions will run from May 1 to 7, 2023 as mentioned over at the LEGO online shop campaign page. However, many deals at individual retailers will remain unknown until the actual event kicks off on May 4th.

The LEGO online shop usually has the most important promotions for LEGO Star Wars fans during this event, even if the discounts are traditionally the lowest there. This is due to the often attractive new releases in the past, but above all, to the free gifts which can be yours for certain qualifying purchases. And these freebies can become quite expensive on reselling sites as we’ve seen in the past.

For this year, there will be a lot of LEGO Star Wars May the 4th free gifts that will be up for grabs or while supplies last. Now is the great time to be a LEGO VIP member since many of these freebies will be unlocked along with your VIP perks. As of to date, there are three Gift with Purchase (GWP) items that are already confirmed.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star II (40591)

The big freebie for this year’s May the 4th event is the LEGO Star Wars Death Star II (40591). This set is a miniature version of the 2nd Death Star and comes complete with a Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary plaque. The set comes with LEGO 18+ branding in an exclusive black box and consists of 289 parts. However, there is no LEGO Star Wars minifigure to watch out for from this one. The minimum qualifying purchase to bag this set has dropped slightly compared to last year. This LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promo will be available for all LEGO Star Wars purchases of $150 or more. This gift-with-purchase set is scheduled to be available from May 1st to May 7th, 2023, while supplies last.

LEGO Star Wars Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary Collectible (5007840)

As an additional free gift, there will be a Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary Collectible in the form of an exquisite medal, available for a minimum qualifying purchase of $85. This shiny collectible silver medal is engraved with the Death Star II on one side and the LEGO Star Wars wording on the other. It comes packaged in a matching box and covered with a transparent blue hologram of the Death Star, shaped to resemble the data cartridge containing the plans for the Death Star.

LEGO Star Wars X Wing Starfighter (30654) Polybag

From a minimum purchase value of $40 or more, LEGO Star Wars fans will receive the LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter polybag which has been available since January. This free gift has a value of $3.99 and can already be found in various shops as well.

VIP Perks on LEGO Star Wars May the 4th

Double VIP Points

As we’ve seen before, this year’s May the 4th event will see the return of double VIP points. However, unlike last year, all LEGO Star Wars purchases for this year’s event come with double VIP points. Double VIP points mean that logged-in VIP customers will be credited with 10% of the purchase value in the form of VIP points. These points can later be exchanged for shopping vouchers or physical rewards both online and in-store.

20% Off on Selected LEGO Star Wars Sets

This year, customers will be able to unlock a 20% discount on selected LEGO Star Wars sets with VIP vouchers. The discount vouchers will cost 100 VIP points, which is equivalent to a dollar or more, and will probably be limited in number. The exclusive sets to which the discounts apply are yet to be confirmed so be sure to keep your brick radars on.

Likewise, the VIP Rewards Center is also loaded with LEGO Star Wars sweepstakes and rewards to celebrate the occasion. Be sure to join the raffle and get your chance to get these exclusive prizes. Each raffle entry and reward has a required number of VIP points.

More LEGO Donkey Kong Figures and Characters Revealed

LEGO and Nintendo fans can expect more exciting sets as the LEGO Super Mario theme expands. LEGO recently gave us a peek of more LEGO Donkey Kong characters to come, adding to the first set revealed last MAR10 celebrations. As it turns out, more LEGO Donkey Kong sets will arrive this summer, and we can expect to see not just Donkey Kong but also other popular characters from the franchise.

Here’s the sneak peek LEGO shared over social media:

We can’t wait to show you the new additions to the world of LEGO Super Mario™! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/sa5XF0LdCo

From the get-go, we can see that the following iconic DK characters will be given the LEGO treatment.

More LEGO Donkey Kong Characters To Be Expected

Diddy Kong

Joining Donkey Kong is his loyal sidekick, Diddy Kong. The character has been a fan favorite since its debut in the game Donkey Kong Country in 1994. The LEGO version of Diddy Kong is sure to be a hit among collectors and gamers alike.

Dixie Kong

Another character to join the DK crew is Dixie Kong, who first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. Dixie Kong is known for her unique abilities, including using her ponytail to float and fly.

Cranky Kong

Cranky Kong, the elder Kong and original Donkey Kong from the 1981 arcade game, is also part of the new LEGO set. In Donkey Kong Country, he serves as the player’s guide and shares his wisdom and humor throughout the game.

Funky Kong

Last but not least, Funky Kong, the cool surfer dude and owner of Funky’s Flights, will also be part of the LEGO set. Funky Kong has appeared in several Donkey Kong games and is known for providing transportation to the other characters.

Pricing and Availability

Although no release date has been announced yet, LEGO has teased fans with a brief clip on Twitter featuring the upcoming DK figures. It’s safe to say that fans are eagerly anticipating the release of these figures and cannot wait to add them to their collections.

LEGO’s latest announcement of the Donkey Kong figures is exciting news for both LEGO and Donkey Kong fans. With the addition of Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and Funky, the DK crew is now complete in LEGO form. Though it will be much cooler to see actual minifigures or bigfigs of these beloved characters, I’m still pretty sure that LEGO Nintendo fans will love to add these brick-built characters to their collection. Expect more LEGO Donkey Kong reveals in the next few weeks.

From the Leaking Faucet: LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine (10315) Coming in June!

A purported image of the rumored LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine set has been making rounds online, and it’s creating plenty of buzz among the LEGO fan community. This image, posted by reliable LEGO insider @Falconbricks via Twitter shows a miniaturized version of the iconic arcade machine. While the images are a bit blurry, it shows a classic cabinet arcade with three mini-builds of Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde.

First look at the new LEGO Pac-Man Arcade Machine set!

Release: June 1st
Price: $269.99
Pieces: 2651#legonews #legoleaks #lego #PacMan #legoicons pic.twitter.com/GiBh3prE6A

The LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine set is said to be part of the LEGO Icons portfolio and is rumored to clock in at 2,651 pieces with a price tag of $269.99 making it another pricier LEGO set that appeals to adult LEGO fans. It’s unclear whether this brick-built arcade machine will be functional, but with that price point, it is certainly expected to come up with plenty of play features and interactivity.

It is interesting to note that the price point of the LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine is somewhat within the same price range as another brick-built classic, the LEGO Icons Atari 2600 (10306) from last year. I can just imagine how good it will look to see these classic gaming superstars displayed alongside one another.

LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine Release Date and Availability

This brick-built classic set is expected to be officially released on June 1, 2023. And though LEGO is yet to make an official announcement, we can be sure that an official reveal may happen anytime within the next couple of weeks. We’ll see if LEGO will also offer this as a pre-order deal which the company is fond of doing lately.

LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine and Other Video Games Inspired Builds

LEGO has been making sets based on popular video games for a while now. Just last week, they announced a series of LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog sets in collaboration with Sega. And as of to date, LEGO video gamers can also expand their collection with Nintendo-inspired sets such as the highly interactive Super Mario series, and the brick-built Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Pac-Man Arcade Machine set is an exciting addition to Lego’s video game-themed sets. With its impressive piece count and interactive features, it is going to be a sure hit among LEGO and video gaming fans. Stay tuned for more updates as LEGO makes an official announcement about this set anytime soon.
