Free Retro LEGO Lunch Box & Other Promos

There are several promotions and freebies from LEGO that will expire this weekend, so I wanted to make sure you know about them and don’t miss out before they are gone.

As a surprise promotion that wasn’t announced in the LEGO Store Calendar, LEGO is offering a free LEGO Lunch Box (item #5006017) on purchases of $99 or more. The tin lunch box looks exceptionally good with the traditional LEGO color band, as well as graphics of the LEGO brick patent. This offer is valid until Sunday, the 15th of September, at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

Another interesting offer for LEGO VIP members that expires today is the free #75522 LEGO Star Wars Mini Droid Commander set with purchases of the recently released #75253 LEGO Star Wars Droid Commander robotics kit. This is basically the Star Wars version of the new LEGO BOOST robotics system. It allows you to build three app-controlled Star Wars droids: R2-D2, a Gonk Droid, and a Mouse Droid. Using the Bluetooth-controlled LEGO BOOST Move Hub and the free LEGO BOOST Star Wars app, you can control the droids with the intuitive drag-and-drop coding environment (visit LEGO.com/DeviceCheck for a list of compatible devices) through over 40 exciting missions. This offer is valid until Sunday, the 15th of September, at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

And remember that also expiring on Sunday the 15th, you can get a a free #40336 LEGO Hidden Side Newbury Juice Bar with purchases of $50 or more. This means that if you purchase the #75253 LEGO Star Wars Droid Commander by the end of Sunday, you will get all three freebies! And, or course you can get other sets as well to make the minimum for this offer, as it is not restricted to any particular set or theme. This offer is valid at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

And just a reminder that two of the new LEGO Hidden Side sets are offered with Double VIP Points during the whole month of September. The two sets are the #70423 LEGO Hidden Side Paranormal Intercept Bus 3000, and the #70425 LEGO Hidden Side Newbury Haunted High School. If you would like to learn more about the sets and the accompanying app, go to LEGO Hidden Side Sets & App Overview. This offer is also available at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

As we discussed at the beginning of the month, LEGO released several new sets in other categories, including the #71044 LEGO Disney Train and Station, the #21319 LEGO Ideas Central Perk set, the 2019 LEGO Advent Calendars, two new LEGO Overwatch sets, and LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19. Other recently released sets worth noting are the #10269 LEGO Creator Expert Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, the #21318 LEGO Ideas Treehouse, the #75936 LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage, the #75253 LEGO Star Wars Droid Commander robotics set, the #10265 LEGO Creator Ford Mustang, the #75810 LEGO Stranger Things Upside Down set, and much more.

LEGO Ideas Projects Under Review & More!

The LEGO Ideas team recently announced that ten product ideas made it into the second 2019 LEGO Ideas review period. This are all projects that reached the 10,000 supporter mark between May and early September of 2019. Below, we will take a look at the ten projects, the projects that went under review previously, as well as some other LEGO Ideas related news.

The ten projects that just went under review are as follows: UCS Space Shuttle Atlantis by Snelson42, Thunderbirds Are Go by AndrewClark2, Pursuit of Flight by JKBrickworks, History Museum by Bricky_Brick, The Office by Lego The Office, Medieval Blacksmith by Namirob, Winnie the Pooh by benlouisa, NASA Spacecraft by Micro_Model_Maker, The Haunted Mansion: 50th Anniversary by GoodOlPrice, The Seven Dwarfs’ House by Hanwasyellowfirst. There were also two more projects (Japanese Tea Garden by Coosey__Goosey and Gravity Falls Mystery Shack by Figura) in this review period, but there were archived because they did not comply with the LEGO Ideas terms of service.

As usual, the LEGO Ideas team will be publishing interviews with the designers of these projects, which are always an interesting read. You can follow the interviews on the LEGO Ideas blog page. Also, the LEGO Ideas review board is working on wrapping up and announcing the results of the previous review period, which includes the following nine projects. They should be making an announcement shortly. In addition, the Playable LEGO Piano by SleepyCow is still under review from a previous review period, so we should be hearing about that project as well.

As you can see, many great projects are under review right now that have the potential to become official LEGO sets. Remember to check the LEGO Ideas site from time to time to find awesome projects and support your favorites. There are some very helpful sorting tools to see the newest, most supported, most talked about projects, as well as staff picks and more.

And of course, you can also purchase sets that originated from LEGO Ideas, like the #21311 LEGO Ideas Voltron, the #21309 LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V, #21313 LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle, the #21314 LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy, the #21315 LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book, the #21316 LEGO Ideas The Flintstones, the #21317 LEGO Ideas Steamboat Willie, and the #21318 LEGO Ideas Tree House. You can find them all at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
