Continuing with the space related theme for April, LEGO has posted a new LEGO DUPLO set coming in May called the Space Shuttle Mission (10944). The set has 23 pieces and retails for $19.99.

Yesterday, I reported that a few projects on the BrickLink Designer Program had been withdrawn by the designer and archived and it looks like there’s a reason why. After I posted the article, I’ve gotten a lot of messages directing me to a German company called BlueBrixx that sells sets using clone bricks. If you look at the products they have, the three projects that were on BrickLink are being sold there with reviews of them being up as late as last November. In addition, they are listed as authorized by RA-MT Brick Design which is Robert Bontenbal’s (RobenAnne) site. I’ve been told that he has a deal with BlueBrixx but I can’t confirm if that’s the reason why he has withdrawn the projects from BrickLink. LEGO technically owns BrickLink so working with a competitor isn’t really a good look. Obviously, it’s disappointing to see that BrickLink won’t be able to...

A few weeks ago, I talked about some of the rumored LEGO Harry Potter 2021 sets and a few of them will include golden minifigures to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the theme. It looks like that has been confirmed as Wizarding World has posted an image showing all six golden minifigures that we will be able to get. These minifigures include Harry Potter, Voldemort, Severus Snape, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Profeesor Quirrell.

The BrickLink Designer Program is well underway in the pre-production phase and recently there has been projects that have been removed from the program. Robert Bontenbal, aka RobenAnne, had three project running which were the Boat House Diner, Boat Repair Shop, and The Dive Shop but “due to other obligations,” he has withdrawn them. Bontenbal was also the fan designer for the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) and fans were excited in potentially adding some more buildings with the same aesthetic, but alas, we won’t be able to. There’s no other reasoning behind the withdrawl it but it’s disappointing. Due to other obligations the designer has had to withdraw this design from the program. We hope that we will be able to work with the designer again in the future! The post RobenAnne Withdraws Projects from BrickLink Designer Program appeared first on The Brick Fan.
