The release of one of the most anticipated LEGO sets of 2021 (so far!) – the LEGO Winnie the Pooh Ideas set is almost upon us. LEGO VIPs (free to sign up), get early access to the set on 18 March 2021 however LEGO have announced a slight tweak to the release time – an hour later than usual!
New LEGO sets usually (I say usually because they can sometimes change on a whim – remember Ninjago City Gardens?) go up on sale at around midnight local time (AEDT here in Australia) on the day they launch.
See below for regional links:
- LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh [US] – US$99.99
- LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh [AUS] – AU$159.99
- LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh [UK] – £89.99
- LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh [EU] – €99.99
- LEGO 21326 Winnie the Pooh [CAN] – CA$139.99
For Winnie the Pooh, we’ve been told that the set will go online at about 1am local time, so best to prepare accordingly if you’ve set your mind to be the first to get your paws on the new set.
Now, take this with a grain of salt, because LEGO’s E-Commerce/Online Shop team could somehow change, but do try refreshing LEGO.com at about midnight just to be safe.

How do you do the backorder? I am in the US. The website just says temporarily out of stock. There is availability in the UK and EU but I don’t live there! Ugh.
Ahhh, that option might turn up soon. That said, there’ll be a lot more during the general release on 1 April, so keep an eye out at midnight as there should be a restock then.
I have just ordered it! On top of the free Carrot House you can also try to claim a free mystery polybag. Search Google if it’s available for your country. Here are some of the promo codes: GBPP (Britain), PPNL (Holland), PPBE (Belgium).
Oh, nice tip about the free polybag!
Slept through my alarm – thanks to the 3 yr old (oh the irony) and missed out. Guess I’ll try again on release day…
Hey Cate, it’s restocked and can be back-ordered!
Guess you didn’t notice (and it’s too
late to check now) but next to the 1:00am time it didn’t say AEDT, it said something like CET. When I saw that I even checked I was still in the Aus region on Lego dot com. I was. Anyway I promptly ignored it and just went in a few minutes after midnight in Sydney and placed my order.
Sorry, that’s why I included the disclaimer. The communications from LEGO wasn’t the greatest on this and I didn’t want people to wait unnecessarily!
It was weird this time. But seeing it turn up at midnight gives me confidence future releases will be similar. 👍
Will I be ordering? You betcha!
Nice, I hope you enjoy the set!
Here I am, at 1am, having just ordered. Man, this is nuts – takes me back to lining up all night for concert tickets in the 70s. Wish I’d seen your post about the sketches available for VIPs before having done so of course.
Well at least you got them – they sold out the next morning! You can always redeem the VIP rewards and use them for a future purchase.
