March 2020 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions

by Thita (admin) on March 1, 2020

Even with the extra day for Leap Year, it seems like February flew by really fast! And now that we’re in March, we can enjoy new LEGO sets and promotions (while still trying to catch up with the huge wave of new sets from earlier this year!). So, let’s take a look at what we got this month!

➡ FREE LEGO TRAINS ANNIVERSARY SET: March 1-15, you can get a #40370 LEGO Trains 40th Anniversary Set with purchases of $99 or more. This is a fantastic and quite large set that’s almost an exact replica of the #7810 LEGO Push-Along Steam Engine from 1980. Even the box is really nice, as it features both the old set and the new, as well as the old LEGO logo, and the 40th anniversary logo. This is an amazing item for LEGO train fans and collectors! This offer is valid at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO DOTS SETS & FREEBIE: The new LEGO DOTS theme officially launched today, and all the LEGO DOTS sets we talked about previously (see: LEGO DOTS for Arts & Crafts Coming!) are now available. In addition, there are LEGO DOTS related events at LEGO stores, so if you live near one, check out the store calendar. Also, March 9-22, you can get a free #30556 LEGO DOTS Mini Frame with purchases of $35 or more. It’s a nice way to boost your LEGO DOTS collection, and the offer is valid on all purchases at LEGO stores and online. To see the full selection, check out the LEGO DOTS section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO EASTER EGG & EASTER BUNNY: March 23-April 13, you can get a #30550 LEGO Easter Bunny with purchases of $30 or more, and a #40371 LEGO Customizable Easter Egg with purchases of $50 or more at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. I’m not sure if offering both freebies at the same time is a mistake in the calendar, or if the offers are stackable. I guess we will just have to wait and see…

➡ NEW LEGO SPIDER-MAN SETS AVAILABLE: Two new LEGO Spider-Man set, the #76251 LEGO Spider-Man Venomosaurus Ambush, and the #76163 LEGO Spider-Man Venom Crawler are now available at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ NEW LEGO MARVEL AVENGERS SET AVAILABLE: The #76162 LEGO Marvel Avengers Black Widow’s Helicopter Chase is now available. It includes Black Widow, Yelena Belova, and Taskmaster in his awesome armed helicopter. You can find it at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO STAR WARS MANDALORIAN SETS PREORDER: The two new LEGO Star Wars sets related to The Mandalorian TV show are now available, but only for preorder. They won’t be actually shipping until the fall. This is probably the longest preorder period I have seen from LEGO. My guess is that they are expecting a flood of orders for these sets, so they are trying to prepare themselves. The two sets are the #75317 LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian & The Child, and the #75292 LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest. You can find them both at the LEGO Star Was section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ SMALL LEGO SETS & GIFTS: There are also a couple of interesting small LEGO sets that you may want to look into. The #854011 LEGO Eiffel Tower Magnet Build is going to be part of a new series of small commemorative sets with magnets. They basically include a small build that can be used by itself or attached to a 4×4 stud LEGO magnet. Another nice small set is the #40373 LEGO Fairground Minifigure Accessory Set with four minifigs, two teddy bears, and a bunch of useful little accessories.

➡ OTHER 2020 LARGE LEGO SETS & EXCLUSIVES: Also, remember some of the recently released large sets, like the #10270 LEGO Creator Bookshop, the #10272 LEGO Creator Old Trafford – Manchester United stadium, the #21321 LEGO Ideas International Space Station, the #76139 LEGO DC Super Heroes 1989 Batmobile, the #42109 LEGO Technic App-Controlled Top Gear Rally Car, and more. Also worth mentioning that the DC Super Heroes Series Collectible Minifigures are now available as a full box.

➡ LEGO SETS ON CLEARANCE SALE: As usual, I like to remind you that before you check out, take a look at what’s on sale, you may find something interesting to boost your order. They are currently offering some of the older sets with 20%-50% off discounts. You may find something that you like. Visit the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

And that wraps up the new sets and offers that are available this month. What do you think? How do you like the freebies this month? And are you planning to get anything? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

LEGO Creator Fiat 500 Press-Release

by Thita (admin) on February 29, 2020

in LEGO Exclusives

Timeless Italian class in LEGO brick form step back to the 1960s with the #10271 LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500. This morning, the LEGO Group announced the LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500, bringing Italian charm to your LEGO vehicle collection. The #10271 LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500 is going to be available from March 1st at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Details below.

Recreate a taste of ‘La Dolce Vita’ by recreating the iconic Fiat 500 in LEGO brick form, with this new LEGO Creator Expert set. This highly nostalgic set is full to the brim with authentic details from the quintessentially Italian car that has found a place in the heart of motorists across the world.

The Fiat 500 is a symbol of effortlessly cool Italian style and this detailed LEGO brick model recreates a true icon of classic automotive design. Based on the Fiat 500F Legend from the late 1960s, this advanced building set includes a detailed interior and functioning sunroof, allowing the driver to soak up the Italian sun while cruising down the Amalfi Coast.

The 960-piece model features everything needed for a European trip, including a trunk (complete with spare tire), a luggage rack to the rear of the car, as well as an opening hood which allows builders to inspect the engine once they have completed the model.

Included within the set are a folding easel with color palette and a painting of the car outside Rome’s famous Colosseum, allowing budding builders to create their favorite scenes in Rome and bring back memories of holidays gone by.

Many LEGO Creator Expert building models are designed to inspire nostalgia and rekindle memories of times gone by and the #10271 LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500 is no different. This set is the latest in the LEGO Creator Expert vehicle range that offers a relaxing building experience and can be displayed as the perfect centerpiece of any LEGO brick car collection.

The set measures over 4” (11cm) high, 9” (24cm) long, and 4” (11cm) wide and is an ideal build for any LEGO brick car collector or fan of Italian culture. Recommended for ages 16+.

To mark the launch of the first ever LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500 set, a life-size LEGO brick model of the iconic Fiat 500 – made from 189,032 LEGO bricks and weighing 400kg – has been unveiled at Spazio MRF Mirafiori Corso Luigi Settembrini via live stream by Sky Media presenter Federica Masolin together with Camillo Mazzola, LEGO Italy and Cristiano Fiorio Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in Turin, Italy today.

To celebrate the partnership between Fiat and the LEGO Group the 1:1 LEGO brick Fiat 500 car – taking 830 man-hours to build and featuring an original Fiat 500 steering wheel – will sit pride of place among a fleet of vintage Fiat 500s in the Fiat factory and then will go to Geneva Motor Show as well as tour LEGO Stores across Italy in March/April.

Pierre Normandin , LEGO Designer, said: “The Fiat 500 is a global automotive icon – having first launched in 1957 and still a timeless classic. To see it celebrated in the beautiful city of Turin with this incredible new Creator Expert set and such an epic life-size build is testament to how beloved this car is.”

Cristiano Fiorio, Head of Brand Marketing Communication, FCA EMEA Region commented: “Throughout its illustrious history, the Fiat 500 has surpassed its original material manifestation to take its place in the collective unconscious, becoming an international icon. This is also demonstrated by its recent exposure at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. We know well that the LEGO Group handpicks iconic products, and that the Fiat 500 is not only a car but an artistic and cultural phenomenon with strong symbolic value, as well as a joyous and colorful expression of the Italian spirit around the world.”

The #10271 LEGO Creator Expert Fiat 500 is going to be available starting March 1st, at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: US $89.99 – CA $129.99 – DE €79.99 – UK £74.99 – FR €84.99 – DK 749DKK (Euro prices vary by country). For updated details, check the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.
