The September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar came out a few days ago and we’ve had time to look it over and see what’s coming up. Probably the most interesting thing for the month is the two VIP Early Access sets from September 13-30 but what could they be? One of the sets could be highly rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Cloud City set which we first talked about in January which I gave a detailed explaination of how it could be coming. The other set could possibly be the annual LEGO Creator Winter Village set which I have no idea what it is. There might have been some rumors but I haven’t actively looked for it so I wouldn’t know. What do you guys think the two sets could be released next month for VIP Early Access? Let us know in the comments below. The post Two LEGO VIP Early Access...

Earlier today, Barnes & Noble held a building event for a mini LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express. Eagle-eyed readers recognize that it is the same build is the same one as in the LEGO Dimensions Harry Potter Team Pack (71247) but for those who didn’t purchase the game a few years ago, LEGO decided to release this build again for those who attended. Thanks to my friend, Kelly, we have the building instructions for the mini Hogwarts Express as well as the parts list.

Way back in March, LEGO announced that they will be producing LEGO plant elements using plant-based plastic in a move to use sustainable materials in a majority of the products and packaging by 2030. The first set that has been released using this initiative is the Plants from Plants (40320) set. You can get for free from now until until August 14 with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last. The box is a small one similar to the small Creator sets. What’s interesting about the box is that there’s printing of the perforated push box but it doesn’t work, instead, I just cut open the tape and to my surprise, the box isn’t actually perforated. The contents include two bags and a leaflet. The leaflet gives you a short background story of what the the plant sustainable parts are. From what has been announced, the new plant pieces are...

The next series of reviews that I will be doing are for the new LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets that have just recently been released and the first set I’ll be taking a look at is Aragog’s Lair (75950) which is a scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is the second smallest set in the wave coming in at 157 pieces and retails for $14.99. The contents of the box include three unnumbered bags and a small instructions booklet. Minifigures There are only two minifigures in the set, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Harry has on a dark blue jacket over a blue shirt with short gray legs. He has a double-sided head with smile on one side and a scared expression on the other. He does have a new disheveled hair piece which looks good on him. His accessories include a new short wand piece...

Last week I ran a contest for some SDCC 2018 LEGO swag including some posters and the Jessica Cruz minifigure. The contest is now over with over 8,600 entries and the winner is: Cesar R. I’ve already contacted the winner and have already gotten shipping information. That’s why I waited to announce the winner because I didn’t want to change it if I didn’t get a response and had to choose another winner. Stay tuned as I’ll have another giveaway pretty soon for something different. The post LEGO SDCC 2018 Swag Pack Giveaway Winner appeared first on The Brick Fan.
