Bad news – New Shell V-Power LEGO Collection not coming to Australia

November 14, 2015 By Jay 4 Comments

No Shell LEGO in Australia

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here it is – Australia will not be getting the second wave of Shell LEGO sets. Following promising news from around the world (the promotion recently launched in Malaysia and in other countries around the world), it raised my hopes that we would eventually see the new Shell LEGO sets come to service stations Down Under.

I was also led on after seeing this tweet where they mentioned that the promotion would be coming to more countries, that I tweeted them to see if I could get a confirmation that it would eventually get to Australia.

Confirmation from Shell Promotions

Unfortunately for all of us, they responded and confirmed that Australia will not run the promotion.

Pretty crummy news as it’s kind of unfair that we got the first wave and will be denied the second wave, which probably will not sit well with LEGO Shell and Ferrari fans who are looking to complete their collections.

A small upside is that with the promotion rolling out in more countries, more of these sets should show up on Bricklink and eBay which will most likely be the easiest way to get a complete set. I myself bought a set when I was in the Philippines on a work trip.

Oh well, tough luck for Aussies as usual.

    You can try your luck on mudah.my. Since it is in Ringgit Malaysia, the exchange are favouring OZ right now.

I wanted to include some Aquazone in this but I ran out of space!

One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 M One of the rarest LEGO Architecture sets - 21021 Marina Bay Sands! 🇸🇬 

Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August, and to mark the occasion, I've dug into my vault to showcase the Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's contemporary architectural landmarks! 

Released in 2014, it's notorious for being one of the most sought-after Architecture sets, because only 10,000 copies were made.

To make matters worse, they sold exclusively in Asia in countries like Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the Marina Bay Sands gift shop!

Thankfully, LEGO released a newer 21057 Singapore Skyline earlier this year which also includes the Marina Bay Sands, but this is a relic from an era where LEGO had regional exclusives in their portfolio.

Happy National Day, Singapore!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing @little.ongs play with 10305 Lion Knights' Castle, which I've conveniently left in an easy to access spot in the house. 

While yes, this set is big and meant for adults, the playability and story-telling is so native to kids that it's a great set to share with your kids if you have any.

👑 Having THE definitive LEGO Castle being ruled by Queen Lionne also sends a great message to little girls and a fantastic celebration of #lego90years 

10305 Lion Knights' Castle launches today for VIPs and if you're lucky enough to be in the position to pick one up, I hope you enjoy and savour every moment of the build of what is quite possibly my favourite set of 2022.
