Amelia Earhart GWP now available
While the LEGO stores around the country offered this a few weeks ago I know a lot of people were hanging out for an online store release. Well now LEGO have pulled the trigger and the Amelia Earhart Tribute set is available.
You’ll need to spend $199 or more to get your hands on this one. The offer ends March 14, if it lasts that long.
All the details can be found here.
LEGO was kind enough to send me one of these so keep and eye out for my thoughts soon.
Official details of 21326 Winnie the Pooh
Tonight LEGO have officially revealed the highly anticipated LEGO Ideas Winnie the Pooh set.
The set comes with all of the characters you’d expect – Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, and Eeyore each with their own accessories.
At 1265 pieces this looks like a fantastic build full of details.
The set will be available March 18th for VIPs and April 1st for everybody else. Australian RRP is $159.99
Honestly this just looks amazing and I’m not sure what else to say. Check out the official press release and pictures below.
On Sale: 20% off Duplo and Creator at Target
Target is having a 20% off sale on a random selection of toy brands. Unfortunately it doesn’t include all LEGO but both Creator and Duplo are included. Perfect time to pick up some 3-in-1 builds and some bricks for the little ones.
The offer kicks off today (March 4th) and runs until Monday March 8th.
Who has the best Vidiyo prices?
LEGO Vidiyo has officially been released, with sets now widely available in stores across the country and online.
But who has the best prices? There are 7 different products in the range (not counting the total number of different bandmates) and across all of them Kmart and Big W have the best prices.
Kmart and Big W are charging $19 for the BeatBox sets and $5 for the blind box Bandmates.
Target have priced themselves right out of the fight by charging $3 more for the BeatBox sets.
Surprisingly Amazon still have these at RRP and haven’t matched the Kmart/Big W pricing. If you are looking for quick and easy delivery it might be worth keeping an eye on the Amazon listings to see if they are lowered.
Here are the links for each store
Bricking Around newsroom in crisis as Facebook bans us
Did you know that Bricking Around is created by a team of journalists, working around the clock to bring you the latest LEGO news? Me either, but Facebook has decided that the Bricking Around Facebook page had to go as part of their response to the Australian Government’s proposed Media Bargaining Code legislation.
Pictured: Not the Bricking Around newsroom. Just a random photo I found
I am hoping that this was just a over-enthusiastic move by a rapidly written algorithm and the page will be restored soon. But if not be assured that there are other ways that you can make sure you don’t miss any Bricking Around content.
You can subscribe to emails from Bricking Around in the sidebar or at the bottom of the page on mobile. Subscribers will receive an email every time a new post goes up. If the Facebook move becomes more permanent and long term I might look in to doing a more structured weekly newsletter, but for the time being this subscribe option is a great way to not miss anything.
The Twitter page is still up and posts automatically get posted there.
It appears that Bricking Around content can still be shared by other users at this stage. This means that if you see a post that you like you can still share that yourself. For example you could post this article on your personal feed. You could even tag your grandmother! You can also share posts in Facebook Groups that you are part of.

Spring Lanterns & The Ox’s butthole
80107 Spring Lantern Festival is a celebration of Chinese culture in a set that is beautiful and a great build. It also features a light brick placed inside an Ox statue in such a way that the button becomes the Ox’s butthole.
Now, I’ll get in to the rest of the set (spoilers – it’s great) but I really want to start with the butthole. Mostly because I’m immature.
Let’s take a minute and think about the internal approval processes the designer of this set – Justin Ramsden – probably had to go through. At each stage I wonder, did they miss the butthole? Were they all in on it?
Look at this!
Lately I have been trying to frame my reviews around the question “should you buy it?” and the answer here is yes. You should buy it. Why? Because the butthole light brick is genius. Genius deserves to be rewarded.
Alright, I’m guessing you probably also want to know about the rest of the set?
On Sale: 50% off Monkie Kid at Toys R Us
Did you miss out on the Monkie Kid 50% off sale at Target at the start of the year? Well fear not because Toys R Us is here to offer super cheap prices on the range too.
8 of the Monkie Kid sets are all listed at half their normal RRP. Unfortunately the line-up doesn’t include the Monkey King Warrior Mech set.
You can find all of the discounted sets here.
I suspect that this is a clearance sale so prices will hopefully last while stock is available.
On Sale: Disney, Dots and Duplo 20% off at Target
It appears the letter of the day at Target is D, with a new sale featuring the delightful trio of Dots, Duplo and Disney all reduced. This also includes the Mickey and Minnie buildable characters set (but not the Disney art set).
You’ll be able to get 20% off sets from these themes until February 17th.
Here are some links to everything on offer: Dots, Duplo, Disney Princess, Disney Frozen, Mickey & Minnie
There’s no specific mention of this being an online only sale so you should be able to find these prices in-store too.
