LEGO this year has released the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man’s Mask (76285) which completes the trio of him, Venom, and Carnage. It has 487 pieces and retails for $69.99. Build The build starts with the black base with the curved sides. In the middle, there are some Technic beams in the middle to keep the mask stable. The building of the mask itself is pretty simple as it mostly uses bricks with studs on the side along with brackets to get the SNOT look. There are also some sloped bricks to give the mask space for certain angles for the panels that go on later. The front of the mask uses some printed shell pieces which are connected by hinge pieces to give it slight angles. The cheeks also have printed curved slopes on the panels are clipped on but they don’t actually match up with the mouth so there’s visible gaps...

Super Bowl LVIII is going on right now and during one of the commercial breaks, Universal Pictures showed off their trailer for the upcoming Wicked movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. LEGO on their social media accounts without any pictures posted “Wonder if LEGO bricks could defy gravity…”. Also, a reply to the Wicked account on X/Twitter, they posted “Emerald City here we come!” This seemingly suggests that LEGO could be releasing a set for the movie in the future. Wicked premieres in theaters this Thanksgiving so if there is a set made, it wouldn’t be released until around the holiday time. If LEGO does make a Wicked set, what do you want to see in it?

It’s been a few days since the BrickLink Designer Program Series 1 sets started pre-orders and here’s a quick update on what’s been happening if you don’t follow my social media updates. As of today, three sets have completely sold out of the 30,000 maximum allotted which include the Mountain Fortress, The Old Train Engine Shed, and Snack Shack. The Mountain Fortress sold out in three hours after pre-orders started and the Snack Shack and The Old Train Engine Shed came after. We only have the Parisian Street and the General Store left from Series 1. The Parisian Street is about 50% sold out while the General Store looks to be about 70% sold out. There’s still 17 days left to pre-order but I expect them to be sold out in about a week. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
