New LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) Unveiled: Here’s an Exclusive Peek

A LEGO enthusiast’s keen eye has spotted a tantalizing surprise in a LEGO Store in China. The LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) is a scaled-down rendition of a LEGO Ninjago set, set to be the next highly sought-after gift-with-purchase (GWP) set.

Dylan Chow, a fervent LEGO fan, took to Instagram to share our first snapshots of the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703), setting off a whirlwind of excitement across the LEGO Ninjago community.

Unveiling the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703)

This latest and exciting gift-with-purchase (GWP) gem boasts a compact yet intricate design, comprised of 339 pieces. As of now, the pricing criteria for securing this treasure trove is yet to be revealed.

Essentially, the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City set stands as a scaled-down iteration of the majestic Ninjago City (70620) released back in 2017 and featured in The LEGO Ninjago Movie. A sneak peek at the box art at the back reveals silhouettes teasing three micro-sized promotional sets, hinting at an immersive saga akin to the Houses of the World concept, promising periodic Ninjago GWPs throughout the year.

Exploring a Micro Ninjago Universe

Based on the box art for the Micro Ninjago City (40703), other upcoming micro collectibles may include the Micro Ninjago Docks, drawing inspiration from the awe-inspiring Ninjago City Docks (70657) from 2018 showcased in its tie-in animated film. Accompanying it is the Micro Ninjago Gardens (40705), reminiscent of the smaller-scale yet equally captivating Ninjago City Gardens (71741) from 2021. Finally, set 40706 stands as the Micro Ninjago City Markets, a compact counterpart to the expansive Ninjago City Markets (71799) from last year which is also the latest in the series of larger-than-brick life scale.

Dylan Chow’s revelation about spotting the Micro NINJAGO City on the shelves in China’s LEGO Store sets off a series of speculation regarding its availability—will it be individually purchasable or will it be a series of highly coveted gift-with-purchase sets?

Products labeled with the 40XXX numbering scheme often walk the line between standalone purchases and promotional giveaways. However, signs point towards this potentially evolving into a promotional gem, following in the footsteps of last year’s Houses of the World series—a fresh quartet of collectible freebies earmarked for release across 2024.

The Micro Ninjago City GWP Sets Off Other Possibilities

Upon a closer inspection of their scale, these miniature wonders align closely with LEGO’s marketing strategy as seen with its offering of the  Houses of the World collection. One can speculate that they might require a single-receipt purchase of $250 or more—a rather high price point to secure this collectible. As it seems, LEGO still aims to capture the hearts of the adult LEGO fan community, especially those who grew up with the LEGO Ninjago theme.

So what do you think of these latest micro series? Are you willing to spend almost 1,000  USD in LEGO to get all four micros-scaled GWPs? Let me know in the comments below.

Exclusive LEGO Marvel Taxi Gift-With-Purchase Set Officially Revealed

After the reveal of the colossal LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower last week, it looks like LEGO is giving us another treat with the official reveal of the exclusive and exciting LEGO Marvel Taxi (5008076) gift-with-purchase set. Scroll down to take a look, and surely you won’t want to miss this limited-edition gem.

What to Expect from the LEGO Marvel Taxi GWP set

lego marvel taxi

From what we can glean from LEGO.com, the LEGO Marvel Taxi freebie comes in a vibrant yellow box that houses not just the GWP set itself, but a piece of the LEGO Marvel universe. The LEGO Marvel Taxi comes snug in its slightly thin yet charming packaging. However, it’s pretty exciting to see that the building instructions booklet is placed at the front.

Printed Out in Details

As confirmed by The Brick Fan, it’s nice to know that LEGO opted to throw in some printed elements together with the LEGO Marvel Taxi. Usually, gift-with-purchase sets come with stickers instead of printed parts.

So it’s great to hear that this freebie will come with 5 printed elements to adorn the brick-built taxi model. Any LEGO fan will surely welcome this kind gesture from LEGO. It’s proof of LEGO’s attention to detail and building quality that elevates this promotional set to a sought-after collectible.

The LEGO Marvel Taxi Further Expands the Number of Your Minifigures

The LEGO Marvel Taxi isn’t just about the vehicle but also underscores a minifigure-studded cast. Included in the set are four minifigure characters that bring the Marvel universe to life. Black Panther takes center stage, flanked by two outriders ready for action. And let’s not forget the unsung hero – the taxi driver, an integral part of this exciting brick-built ensemble.

It’s a LEGO Black Friday Bonanza

Hold on to your bricks because here’s another exciting kicker – the LEGO Marvel Taxi is not just a promotional set you can get from any LEGO purchase; it’s a welcome treat that will launch as part of this year’s LEGO Black Friday deals.

lego marvel taxi

Snag this set for free when you purchase the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower (76269) during the Black Friday weekend from November 24-27. It’s a limited run, so mark your calendars so you’ll not miss out on this on Black Friday. Additionally, you must be a LEGO Insiders VIP in order to qualify. But joining is relatively easy – just follow the instructions on their mini-site and you’re good to go.

Here’s the rest of the product details for the LEGO Marvel Taxi.

LEGO Marvel Taxi 5008076

150 pieces | Includes Black Panther, two Outriders, and Taxi Driver minifigures | Gift with purchase set valued at $19.99

The LEGO Marvel Taxi set is a fun add-on build for the LEGO® Marvel Avengers Tower (76269). The set includes a focal taxi model with 5 decorated elements across the vehicle. There are 4 minifigure characters included: Black Panther, two outriders, and a taxi driver.

 

Unveiling the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610: A Sneak Peek at Our Next GWP Set

It’s November! By now, you’re probably prepping up for your annual custom LEGO Winter Village build. And here’s a fun and free way to add more fun to your build – LEGO has just introduced its new LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610.

Exploring the Newest Gift-With-Purchase Set – the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610

If you recall, LEGO revealed a similar gift-with-purchase (GWP) polybag last month in the form of the LEGO Christmas Fun VIP Add-On Pack 40609.

Since LEGO has rolled out a similarly themed polybag freebie, I’m not quite sure if this is just a regional variation or an entirely new offering on top of set 40609. As of this posting, only LEGO Singapore and LEGO Malaysia are listing the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610.

Nevertheless, the latest free giveaway is a welcomed addition to any winter-themed LEGO collection. Let’s dive in and see what we can expect from this new promotional item just in time for the holidays.

First Glimpse of the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack 40610

While the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on expansion set is not yet available in the US, our friends in Singapore and Malaysia have the privilege of getting a first look at this delightful creation. Valued at $10, this free set is a welcome departure from the usual Christmas-themed sets, and offers a variety of winter-themed pieces that will spark your creativity.

40610

Piece Count and Other Unique Parts

Featuring 142 parts, the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on Pack includes plenty of interesting pieces centered around the winter season. Not including the white LEGO bricks, we can expect plenty of holiday pieces such as pine trees, brown LEGO pieces, a playful squirrel, and plenty of minifigure accessories such as skis, snowboards, a guitar, an axe, and more.

lego winter fun vip add-on

To add this set to your shopping cart for free, you will likely need to make a minimum purchase of $50 in the LEGO online shop. While the exact promotional period for December is yet to be confirmed, I’m really forward to seeing this in the LEGO US online shop and other regions as well.

For a more in-depth look at the 40610 Winter Fun set, you can visit LEGO’s Pick a Brick feature, where you can explore the list of included parts. Please note that the white house is not included in the set; it’s used to demonstrate how you can use these components to create your winter-themed models.

The Legacy of LEGO VIP Add-on Gift-With-Purchase Packs

Needless to say, the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on 40610 expansion set is a remarkable addition to LEGO’s collection of VIP Add-on Packs. This release marks the tenth in the series, and it follows the success of nine unique VIP giveaways. If you recall, we also saw a LEGO Lunar New Year VIP Add-On Pack and a lot more similar gift-with-purchase packs from 2021.

Each of these small sets has had its own theme, often drawing inspiration from the seasons. In the case of winter, we now have the privilege of seeing a second polybag offering. This set stands out from its predecessor, the LEGO Winter Wonderland VIP expansion set 40514 from 2021, with its distinctive composition and fewer Trans-Light Blue elements for crafting icy landscapes.

LEGO fans have much to look forward to with the upcoming release of the LEGO Winter Fun VIP Add-on 40610. This unique promotional offering adds more fun to your LEGO winter collection and promises to spur your imagination to build more holiday-themed creations.

Stay tuned for more updates about this GWP set.

Unveiling the LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei (40595)

LEGO is getting a celestial boost with its much-anticipated LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei (40595) promotional set. This exclusive, if you recall, is a testament to the brilliance of Jess (or @Firecracker_  over at LEGO Ideas) as he emerges as the winner of the Ready, Set, Go STEM! building contest held last May.

The LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei Highlights an Outstanding Legacy

This captivating promotional set pays homage to the iconic astronomer Galileo Galilei, offering a comprehensive and intricate LEGO Ideas representation. Read on to learn more about what to expect from this gift-with-purchase set and its availability.

40595 alt4

A Celestial Observatory

The centerpiece of this set is a meticulously designed research room, complete with a buildable telescope that reflects Galileo’s pioneering work in astronomy. As you explore the room, you’ll also discover a rotating heliocentric model, a table, a chest of drawers, and even ‘stone’ experiments. These elements transport you back in time to Galileo’s world of discovery and innovation.

Mapping the Universe

In keeping with Galileo’s legacy, this LEGO Ideas set includes a detailed map of Earth printed on a minifigure head, reminding us of his groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the cosmos. The clever inclusion of this map adds depth and historical context to the set.

Hometown Tribute

An enchanting addition to this set is a miniature representation of the tower in Galileo’s hometown of Pisa. This symbolic piece serves as a reminder of the great astronomer’s roots and his profound impact on the world.

Completing the Scene

To complete this remarkable tribute, you can attach the nameplate, which proudly displays the set’s name, and place the Galileo Galilei Minifigure in the scene. This final touch brings the entire composition to life, making it a delightful centerpiece for LEGO enthusiasts and history aficionados alike.

LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei: Availability

The LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei (40595) comprises 307 pieces, resulting in a vignette that stands over 3.5 inches (9 cm) high, 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide, and 4 inches (10 cm) deep. This level of detail and craftsmanship is a testament to the dedication of LEGO designers in creating a faithful representation of Galileo’s world.

lego ideas tribute to galileo

As for availability, this GWP offer is set to launch on November 1st, 2023, and will be available until November 16, 2023, or as long as stocks last. To qualify for this exclusive set, you’ll need to make a LEGO purchase totaling $130 and above. Though the redemption price is a bit steep, it’s a good thing that it is not tied to any particular LEGO theme.

40595 alt1 40595 alt2

If you’re still eyeing to have the Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage 21341, or the Viking Village 21343, then November is definitely the month to bag them.

Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of history with the LEGO Ideas Tribute to Galileo Galilei (40595). If you’re a space and astronomy fan, then you definitely don’t want to miss out on this free promo set.

Check Out These Funny LEGO Horror Posters Over at LEGO Insiders!

You can still catch these funny LEGO horror posters over at LEGO Insiders. 


In the realm of brick-induced nightmares all shared by LEGO fans, few things send shivers down the spine quite like stepping on a stray LEGO brick. This Halloween, the iconic brand has cleverly embraced this terror with a spine-tingling twist.

Introducing a spine-chilling collection of LEGO horror – themed posters, now available as exclusive limited edition prints through the revamped LEGO Insider Reward’s Center. These posters will have you rethinking lost pieces, perplexing stickers, and, yes, the dread of the unassuming LEGO brick underfoot.

LEGO Horror Posters – Guaranteed Halloween Treats for All Ages

Just in time for the Spooky Season, these LEGO horror posters pay homage to the vintage, illustrated movie posters of yesteryears. As an added thrill, these posters are exclusively offered for free over at the LEGO Insiders mini website.

Unless you have been living in a pile of bricks for quite some time, you may have known already that LEGO Insiders is the newly revamped LEGO VIP Rewards, but with more features and exciting promos. For this Halloween Season, LEGO is adding more fun to All Hollow’s Eve by offering six limited-edition LEGO horror posters inspired by the classic film genre.

Unearth the Fear: How to Obtain Your LEGO Horror Posters Limited Edition Print

LEGO humorously made this announcement on their Facebook page last week, giving us a glimpse of this funny collection of not-so-scary, LEGO horror posters.

“Scarily familiar? Redeem your LEGO Insiders points for a limited edition Halloween print (if you dare…!)” Fans can secure their own spine-tingling masterpiece by simply visiting lego.com/insiders. But, with a mere 5,400 of each poster up for grabs, you need to act fast.  All six LEGO horror posters can be redeemed each for 1,750 LEGO Insiders points, and are valued at $17 each.

The cool thing about these posters is that they are printed using ‘glow-in-the-dark’ ink on 30cm x 40cm poster paper for that extra chilling effect. And to give it a premium, collectible feel, each poster also comes with an embossed LEGO brick stamp as proof of its authenticity.

Check out these posters up close and personal.

LEGO Horror Posters that Resonate with LEGO Fans

The response from LEGO fans has been nothing short of enthusiastic. One fan enthusiastically commented on Facebook, “These are awesomely accurate!” Another chimed in, “I’m getting childhood flashbacks for the Stuck Brick ones….” And as it seems, anyone who ever had a LEGO set can clearly relate to all the “horrific” stories told by each of these LEGO horror posters.

But, of course, LEGO’s journey into the world of art doesn’t stop here. In recent months, LEGO continued to appeal to older LEGO fans with its line of LEGO Art sets, and a gorgeous collection of LEGO posters that render in bricks the classic art of Van Gogh as seen in LEGO Ideas Starry Night 21333, and LEGO Art Hokusai – The Great Wave 31208.

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.

lego october gwp 2023

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.

lego october gwp 2023

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.

lego october gwp 2023

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.

Special thanks to Jay’s Brick Blog for the heads up.

Here’s another exciting reveal from LEGO. The US portal of LEGO.com has been updated to include another gift-with-purchase (GWP) purchase set in the form of the somewhat familiar LEGO Magic Maze 40596.

This ingenious set features a brick-built puzzle game that challenges you to guide a marble through a labyrinth of obstacles. Picture a scaled-down version of the 2016 hit, LEGO Ideas Maze 21305 and you’ll have an idea of how much charm and playability this set offers.

Innovative Design

The LEGO Magic Maze 40596 boasts domed elements on its sides, providing convenient grips for easy handling during gameplay. When not in use, the set features a shell-like space for the brick-built marbles to rest, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.

The LEGO Magic Maze 40596 is poised to be another sought-after promotional set, along with the LEGO Houses of the World 4 this October. With its imaginative design, vibrant biomes, and interactive gameplay, it promises hours of fun for younger LEGO builders, and AFOLs as well.
