10290 Pickup Truck was announced WAY back in July, which feels like a lifetime ago. That said, it finally goes on sale on the 1st of October, and this vintage Pickup Truck has heavy Christmas and holiday vibes, which almost makes it an unofficial hybrid of LEGO Christmas and Creator Expert cars sets.
I’m going to be picking this one up tomorrow!

- Dimensions: The vehicle measures over 2.5 in. (7 cm) high, 7.5 in. (19 cm) long and 4.5 in. (12 cm) wide and combines easily with other LEGO® DC Batman™ sets.
I’m really excited about this one, and will be building this one next, but there is a smaller, minifig-scale Batman Tumbler coming at a really affordable and space-efficient price point.
DC has had a comparatively rough year, especially when you put them side by side with Marvel whose had a stellar year, but this Tumbler is a great addition for people wanting more of Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy in LEGO form.
Picked this up already, and can’t wait to put this one together.

It is what it is – a LEGO Reindeer Battle Pack. 40499 Santa’s Sleigh has a simple proposition – a big red traditional Sleigh for Santa Claus, pulled by 4 LEGO Reindeer.
For many people, the 4 Reindeer is going to be the reason you’ll pick up one (or multiples of the set), but as a standalone set, it makes for a pretty great gift, and expansion to your LEGO Christmas/Winter Village.
Check out my review of 40499 Santa’s Sleigh – which I loved! Plus, it also goes incredibly well with 10293 Santa’s Visit and any LEGO Winter Village.

- LEGO 40478 Mini Disney Castle [CAN] – CA$49.99
Honey, I shrunk the 71040 Disney Castle. This is one of the best sets of 2021, and a great budget-friendly alternative for those wanting to display a LEGO Display Castle, but don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on one.
The Mini Disney Castle coincides with the 50th anniversary of Disney World, and also comes with an exclusive Mickey Mouse.
I expect this one to sell out immediately, and will be quite hard to find, as I can see many people wanting to get their hands on these for themselves, or as Christmas gifts.
Read my review of 40478 Disney Castle to find out why I absolutely adore this set, and gave it a rare 5/5 score.
