A close look at the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 (71038) series shows the many new LEGO pieces introduced in these minifigures. At the top of my list is Stitch’s new double-arm mold. I love how LEGO created a new face print for my favorite blue alien. Ernesto de la Cruz’s black-and-white color scheme and the impressive, intricate design on his costume, guitar, and Mexican sombrero truly stand out.

Each CMF blind bag is expected to retail for $5 across all LEGO brand stores and LEGO.com beginning May 1, 2023. Which is at the top of your list in this latest LEGO CMF Disney series? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 Officially Revealed!

After an image of the package insert of the latest LEGO CMF series went viral last week, LEGO has finally let the cat out of the bag and has officially unveiled the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 (71038). This highly-anticipated CMF series is slated to be released on May 1, 2023, and is currently listed at LEGO.com

This latest series consists of 18 iconic Disney characters that appeal to Disney fans of all ages, beginning with one of the very first animated characters introduced by Walt Disney and his team of animators back in 1927. It’s not an easy feat for LEGO and Disney to select which character will make it to the cut of this LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney 100 series, but I’m glad how the final lineup turned out eventually.

Check out the details and product description of this latest CMF series, which will retail for $5 online and in-store.

Make Way for These LEGO March 2023 Sets

UPDATED: The LEGO March 2023 sets are now available at LEGO.com! You can now purchase these sets directly at LEGO’s online shopping portal with the option of visiting a LEGO brand store near you. I’ve included in this list other LEGO March 2023 releases that I’ve posted before so you can have an overview of everything that LEGO has released for this month.

Since most of them point to affiliate links, it will be a big help for us if you will make your LEGO purchases using these. Which set or sets will be a Day 1 purchase for you? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.

[Original Post] We’re just counting the days before the next wave of LEGO March 2023 sets are released. And in case you missed my previous posts, here’s a rundown of the latest sets that you can expect once the clock strikes midnight on March 1, 2023.

Ranging from homegrown sets such as those coming from LEGO Creator, City, and Ideas themes to licensed IPs such as Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and more, there’s definitely something that will catch your fancy. Check out the following list of LEGO March 2023 sets, and be sure to add them to your LEGO wishlist for notifications of their availability.

This Custom LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Spaceport Diorama is the Perfect Place for a Traveling Mandalorian

We’re just counting the hours away before Season 3 of the Mandalorian streams at Disney+. And though we’re not sure if Pedro Pascual’s Din Djarin will visit this legendary location once again just like he did in the 5th episode of Season 1 (“The Gunslinger”), it’s good to know that fellow LEGO Star Wars fan Joshua Morris made an accurate custom LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Spaceport diorama for a Mandalorian to rest his head.

This massive Star Wars diorama from Joshua Morris (aka I Scream Clone over at Flickr) will definitely stick in our heads. Working in collaboration with two more members from SydLUG or the Sydney LEGO Users Group in Australia, namely Matthew Lawrence (shnake1973) and legolocodavid, this diorama is an impeccably detailed version of the Mos Eisley Spaceport using 24 base plates. It is one playful rendition of the most dangerous place in the Star Wars galaxy. As Morris says, “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.” I sincerely doubt if I will skirt around this one.

Though LEGO managed to pull out an impressive, large-scale official LEGO Star Wars Master Builder Series Mos Eisley Cantina 75290 back in 2020, this brick rendition is the closest thing that you can get to the desert environment of the planet Tattooine. This custom LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Spaceport is jam-packed with all the details that show the wonderfully chaotic world of the meanest scums, villains, and bounty hunters across the galaxy. The buildings and structures are all spot-on, as it perfectly captures the architecture unique to the desert planet. Furthermore, Boba Fett couldn’t be happier with the free parking space. What is mind-blowing is the fact that this 6 X 4 ft. diorama is just a third of the entire project that Morris and the rest of his SydLUG partners are working on. Here’s a closer look at some of the diorama’s sections, including the details inside the Cantina. A round of applause for the Cantina Band minifigs.

We hope to see Morris and the team from SydLUG complete this ambitious project. You may drop him a note through his Flickr account if you wish to inspire him further.

LEGO House Exclusive Set Revealed: The LEGO House A Minifigure Tribute (40504)

The House of the Brick officially unveiled today this year’s exclusive LEGO House set. After legendary LEGO designer Stuart Harris gave a bit of a teaser a couple of days ago, LEGO has finally lifted the curtain to its LEGO House A Minifigure Tribute (40504). Read the announcement below.

A tribute to the minifigure!

New LEGO® House Exclusive set From 1 March!

LEGO House A Minifigure Tribute (40504)

This year marks the 45th anniversary since the LEGO Group launched the very first LEGO minifigure in 1978. Since then, more than 10 billion minifigures have been produced in more than 8000 variants.

You can take part in celebrating the legendary minifigure by building the iconic Captain Redbeard, this year’s LEGO House Exclusive set. The finished figure, complete with a peg leg, pirate hat, and hook, is approx. 30 cm. high and consists of 1041 bricks.

This exclusive set is sold from 1 March 2023 and is only available in the LEGO store in LEGO House, Billund, Denmark.

Each year, the LEGO House Exclusive sets pay tribute to the most iconic LEGO Group stories. ‘A Minifigure Tribute’ is the fourth set in the series. These special sets can only be bought in the LEGO Store at LEGO House.

Meet the designers of the product

On 3 and 17 March, you can meet the two LEGO designers behind the product, Stuart Harris and Markus Rollbühler, in front of the LEGO House LEGO Store. Here you can see the concept models, have a chat with the designers and get your box signed.

When: 3 + 17 March at 4.00 – 5.00 pm CET

Here’s a bit of trivia according to LEGO: as of to date, there’s a total of 10 billion minifigures already out there since the first one came out of production. The LEGO Minifigure is also 45 years old since its initial launch and current iteration from 1978.

That is why The LEGO Group saw it fit to offer this next LEGO House exclusive set to the iconic character of Captain Redbeard – one of the most popular minifigure characters ever created coming from the classic Pirates theme. If you’re a fan of the theme, you might recall that Captain Redbeard originally came with the LEGO Pirates Black Seas Barracuda 6285 from 1989. The set was later re-released in 2002 with set number 10040, then re-imagined in the most recent LEGO Ideas Pirates of Barracuda Bay (21322) of 2020.

This brick-built version of Captain Redbeard clocks in at 1,041 pieces and stands 30 centimeters tall. The LEGO House A Minifigure Tribute (40504) is available only at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark, for $84.99. Unless you already have an arranged trip to the House of the Brick, your options might be limited if you’re eyeing this exclusive.

LEGO Indirectly Confirms a LEGO Zelda Is Now in the Works

For the past three years, Nintendo and LEGO have been teaming up to create amazing sets that resulted in the creation of the successful and prolific LEGO Super Mario theme. They’ve been wildly popular among LEGO and Nintendo fans, with new ones coming out each year. The thing is, they’ve never really strayed from the whole Mario theme. But this may eventually change as rumors, leaks, and possibly an indirect confirmation from LEGO itself finally gives credence to the possibility that a LEGO Zelda is now on its way.

To be frank, this news is not entirely new. Because since the day that a cryptic Eurobricks member shared publicly that LEGO has been doing some secretive surveys on how much money will people actually spend on what seems to be upcoming LEGO sets, then more info about this potential LEGO Zelda started to take form.

LEGO has supposedly conducted surveys in the past, but this is the first instance where they have hinted at their interest in creating a LEGO Zelda set. It is uncertain whether they have obtained the license from Nintendo to do so, even if the rumor is true. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the leaked design will be the final product, as it could undergo significant changes.

Normally, this is the part where I normally say that you ought to take these rumors with a pinch of salt. However, knowing how protective LEGO can be with regard to its confidential sets and brand name, most of the time, it is through their own doing that an upcoming set may be indirectly confirmed.

Because as it turns out, YouTube channel Nintendo Prime eventually learned it the hard way when his channel became the target of the LEGO Brick Police as it issued a copyright takedown notice. The video in question (which is obviously taken down already) did not publish any photos, but instead just went on to describe how the initial leaks turned out. This is Nintendo Prime’s first copyright strike and those on YouTube (us included) know very well how nerve-wracking this experience is.

And as Nintendo Prime aptly puts it, such strict policing on LEGO’s part simply means that an upcoming LEGO Zelda set is actually imminent.

Hey @ZeldaUniverse and anyone else who covered the The Great Deku Tree lego set – take down your videos ASAP. LEGO ain't messing around, even though we aren't the sources. Also: By doing this, they just CONFIRMED IT'S REAL. So there you have it. pic.twitter.com/kBa6dAGpko

— Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) February 18, 2023

At this point, the leaks for this upcoming LEGO Zelda set are now out there in the wild so I will not go on to the details of describing it. However, what we can confirm is that it is a pretty large set clocking at 1,920 pieces. We don’t have a tentative release date as of press time. But we can somewhat assume that this set will be a part of LEGO’s H2 2023 releases or their June to December 2023 product launches.

Whatever the case is, I’ll keep our brick radars open for more info on this highly-anticipated LEGO Zelda set. So be sure to keep tabs on our blog site as well.

This Year’s Exclusive 2023 LEGO House Set Will Be Revealed on March 1st

LEGO’s social media platforms have released a rather interesting glimpse of what could be this year’s exclusive 2023 LEGO House set scheduled to be unveiled on the 1st of March. If you recall, last year’s exclusive 2022 LEGO House set paid tribute to LEGO Master Builder Dagny Holm.

As you can see from the video below, it appears that this upcoming LEGO House exclusive will have a pirate theme, as Stuart Harris, the set’s designer, dons an outfit reminiscent of a buccaneer and proceeds to unveil a treasure chest from a drawer. We eagerly anticipate the unveiling of this annual exclusive set from the LEGO House within the next few days.

Here’s a Sneak Peak at the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038)

Fellow LEGO fan site and insider Promobricks have just gotten a hold of what seems to be an early copy of the package insert (checklist) of the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038). This latest CMF Series is the third of a long line of collectible minifigure series that LEGO partnered with the House of Mouse since the series debuted back in 2016.

An Exciting and Fun New Series: The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3!

If you remember earlier this January, it was reported that this latest LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 series will include not just 12, but a whopping 18 new Disney characters given the LEGO minifigure treatment. This collection of new minifigs is all brand new and has never been seen before in any LEGO set in any variants whatsoever.

And just in time with Disney’s 100th-year celebration, this upcoming LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 craze will launch this May, alongside other LEGO Disney sets that mark the occasion. Thanks to Promobricks, we can now have an early look at what we can expect from this series. Take a look at the series’ package insert below.

Right off the bat, this newer version of Stitch is a must-have for me, together with that Magician Mickey from Fantasia. The inclusion of the gentle Baymax is really exciting and a very much welcomed addition to any LEGO Disney collection as well.

In case you need to know, here are the names of these new LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 characters.

Here’s What to Expect from this Upcoming LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3!

Top Row (from left to right)

Oswald the Funny Rabbit with new head mold, dual-molded legs and printed 1×2 tile (predecessor to 1927 Mickey Mouse)
Pinocchio with new head mold and printed fishbowl (Pinocchio, 1940)
Jiminy Cricket with Parasol (Pinocchio, 1940)
Magician Mickey with new head mold, with bucket and mop (Fantasia, 1940)
Princess Tiana with 2×3 printed tile, crown, and frog (The Princess and the Frog, 2009)
Dr. Facilier with printed 1×2 tile and walking stick (The Princess and the Frog, 2009)

Middle Row (from left to right)

Queen of Hearts with wide skirt, crown, and scepter of hearts (Alice in Wonderland, 1951)
Princess Aurora with crown and owl (The Sleeping Beauty, 1959)
Mulan with sword and the cricket, Cri-Kee printed on what seems to be a 1×1 brick (Mulan, 1998)
Ernesto de la Cruz with guitar (Coco, 2017)
Miguel with guitar and dog Dante (Coco, 2017)
Pocahontas with 1×1 round tile with compass print and leaves (Pocahontas, 1995)

Bottom Row (from left to right)

Cruella de Vil with cape and dalmatian figure (101 Dalmatians, 1961)
Robin Hood with new head mold and bow (Robin Hood, 1973)
Prince John with a new head mold, sack, and coin (Robin Hood, 1973)
Stitch with four arms and two ray guns (Lilo & Stitch, 2002)
Baymax with big arms and red hoverboard (Big Hero 6, 2014)
Evil Queen with cape and magic mirror (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937)

As pointed out by Promobricks, it’s interesting to note the absence of an official Snow White minifigure in this series given that we already have an Evil Queen. I wish LEGO could have included the two in this upcoming CMF series since a proper LEGO Snow White minifigure is been a long time coming. Or perhaps its reserved for a future set? LEGO Ideas perhaps (wink, wink)? 🙂

When Will the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038) be Released?

The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 3 (71038) is expected to be launched in May of this year, so we can expect its marketing and promotions anytime soon this March. And with the expected high demand for these little guys, be aware that third-party resellers might already have them stashed in some warehouses out there. Be on the lookout and let us know if you happen to spot these anywhere in your vicinity.

Special thanks once again to Promobricks for sharing this update.

New LEGO March 2023 Polybags Arriving Soon

German retailer JB Spielwaren has updated their home shopping portal once more to now include several new LEGO March 2023 polybags, slated to arrive first thing next month. This range of new polybag offerings covers themes such as Harry Potter, Speed Champions, and Creator themes, and will be available for approximately $3.99 each.

LEGO March 2023 Polybags to Watch Out For!

If you recall, the new LEGO Creator polybags included in this upcoming March release were already revealed earlier this January, with the exception of the Quidditch Practice and McLaren Solus GT.

Though the release date mentioned on these polybags are from an overseas retailer, we can safely assume that these new LEGO March 2023 polybags will also be released in the US alongside other LEGO March offerings. LEGO.com’s building instructions page has been updated to now include listings of these upcoming polybags, though the actual building instructions are still to be published.

In the meantime, let’s take a look at these polybags up close and personal. For more information about these miniature collectibles, you may click on their respective links.
