It’s finally happened – LEGO has all but cancelled LEGO Vidiyo in it’s current iteration. Late on Friday night (the best time to drop unfavourable announcements in the news cycle), The LEGO Group released this statement, following a rumour shared by Promobricks that the theme had been cancelled, and retailers were offered the option to…

Amazon Australia and Big W slashes price of new Vidiyo sets by 50%

July 20, 2021 By Jay Ong 4 Comments

Hear that? That’s the sound of a LEGO theme slowly withering away before it inevitably meets its maker. If you can’t hear anything, just imagine a Llama making terminal sounds, with a dope techno beat thumping in the background. In a surprising (that it’s happening so soon), it looks like Big W Australia have begun…

Shame Kevin was left out, though!

Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LE Here's my review of one of the most anticipate @LEGO Disney sets - 43217 'Up' House ahead of its release on 1 April 2023!

This set is a dream come true for many Pixar fans, and we finally get a cute, compact and great looking Up House. 

It has plenty of references to the movie, and Carl's everlasting love of Ellie, his late-wife which will absolutely delight fans. 

Despite a strong lineup of minifigures (including an awesome Dug mould), the set's incredibly expensive pricetag (US$59.99/AU$89.99) doesn't feel like good value, especially with Kevin nowhere to be found.

Let me know what you think of this set, and if you're still planning to get it!

Here are some shots of 77013 Escape from the Lost Tomb, which let's you recreate scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

Indy, Sallah, and Marion break into the Well of Souls to retrieve the Ark of the Covenant in LEGO form, and this playset is packed with dynamic play features!

Priced at only US$39.99, this set is incredible value and a great way to get started with LEGO Indiana Jones!

Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibl Here's a look at 40587 Easter Basket, an incredibly affordable and attainable GWP that's available from 16 March!

It will be a GWP when you spend US$70 / €70 / £65 from 16 March - 9 April.

Lots of things to like here, as the design is cute, and the build is surprisingly technical, and it blends both Botanical and Animal construction.

Also like that the redemption period stretches into April, so if you have the Indiana Jones, Disney 100, or Guardians of the Galaxy sets on your radar, it should be an easy one to qualify for!

Such a breath of fresh air to get such a substantial GWP without having to spend hundreds of dollars. More like this please, LEGO!

If you're searching for 77014 The Temple of Doom... unfortunately, it's not here. Here's a statement provided by LEGO

Throughout 2022, the LEGO Group worked closely with Lucasfilm to optimize our planned product line up for the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones product launches in April 2023. 
As an outcome of this, we consolidated the launch to focus on three products (77012, 77013, 77015) that feature some of the most iconic scenes from the Indiana Jones franchise.
We hope our fans love the new range and can’t wait to get their hands on them.

Let me know what you think!
