You can put LEGO on your pants now
Today LEGO and Levi’s have officially revealed the details of their collaboration. It’s weird and a bit unexpected. Is it also great? It’s probably not for me. But you might love it. Here’s the details.
The new collaboration features a range of classic Levi’s products, all with soft rubber LEGO panels attached. The panels are made of the same material as the DOTS bands. I found the bands to have really good clutch power despite being soft and flexible so your custom designed clothes should be safe.
Here is the items that will have the LEGO panel sewn in: a vintage stonewash Levi’s® Trucker Jacket, a Dad Crop Trucker Jacket, 501® ’93 Straight Jeans, and a lineup of hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, and accessories. Customisation pieces from the collection will come with a Levi’s® and LEGO Group branded bag of 110 LEGO® DOTS, so that fans have a playful canvas for self-expression with endless options.
If the idea of having actual LEGO on your clothes isn’t your thing, there will also be a number of graphic tees released too.
Here are the Australian prices for the range. It’s certainly not cheap.

Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all the LEGO dads out there. Hope you all get spoilt with some uninterrupted building time.
Charlestown Square LEGO Store Opens Tomorrow
Great news for LEGO fans in the Newcastle area – the Charlestown Square LEGO Store officially opens its doors tomorrow morning at 9am.
Of course the world is a lot different now so the store will be taking all of the required precautions with the opening. Don’t except a huge crowd rushing in to the store at 9am. When you arrive at the store there will be a QR code for you to scan so that you can join a virtual queue. You will then be notified by text when it is time to make your way back to the store. Shoppers are also asked to please remember to practice social distancing by keeping 1.5m from others and use the hand sanitiser provided. Masks must also be worn when in store.
If you get to the store tomorrow I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Review: 10270 Creator Expert Bookshop
On January 1st LEGO officially released the latest modular building – 10270 Bookshop. Today I will be having a look at this beautiful addition to the modular collection.
Despite only being a few months old the Bookshop feels like it belongs to a different era. Enter a world where you can casually browse a bookstore without worrying about social distancing and how many people can fit inside based on how many square metres it is.
Like 10218 Pet Shop before it the Bookshop is a split modular, meaning that you get two smaller buildings rather than the single 32×32 build. I really like split modulars as they give you a lot of flexibility in your modular layout, assuming of course that you’ve already got a few of them.
Infinity War BrickHeadz Pictures
With Marvel’s Infinity War out next month we already have the tie-in sets on local shelves, but there are also a range of BrickHeadz coming out too.
Thanks to Promobricks we now have our first look a the lineup. With so many characters in the film not everybody is going to get a set but I think the lineup is pretty good.

41605 Thanos
41606 Star-Lord
41607 Gamora

Latest LEGO Ideas Review Results – Two Sets Pass Review
The LEGO Ideas team have just shared the results of the third 2015 project review, and this time there are two models that will be hitting shelves as an actual LEGO set…
The Beatles Yellow Submarine
it was hard to see how the licensing for this one was going to work out, and it passing review is a bit of a surprise.
Yellow Submarine is a classic part of Beatles history and project creator Kevin Szeto has done a great job of rendering it with bricks. The final set should also included the band as LEGO Minifigures.
Apollo 11 Saturn V
LEGO and NASA have worked together in the past, so this set passing review isn’t a huge surprise. The only thing going against it was size – the model is around one meter tall. This could be one of the largest Ideas sets to date when it’s released.
Check out the announcement video and full result below
LEGO Dimensions Series 2 Details
The official details are still a few hours away, but images of at least some of the next series of LEGO Dimensions sets have surfaced online.
The lineup includes an interesting mix of characters, from Adventure Time to The A-Team. Here are the details of what has been discovered. Click on an image to see a larger version.
71242 Ghostubsters Story Pack
A new feature of Dimensions Series 2 seems to be at least one “Story Pack”. Based on the wording of the box, a Story Pack contains an entire story – in this case the new Ghostbusters film. This seems more substantial than a Level Pack, so expect it to cost more too. Includes Abby Yates, the new Ecto-1 and the Chinese Restaurant setting from the film.
Plenty more below.
The Latest Deals For Christmas Shoppers
Christmas is fast approaching, and it is predicted that this weekend will be the most popular time for people to finish up their Christmas shopping. With that in mind, Bricking Around has gone through the latest catalogue and rounded up all of the latest offers to make buying those LEGO presents just a little easier.
Big W
This week there is no LEGO sale, but they do have the 79103 Turtle Lair Attack set for only $37.50 which is half price. The current catalogue also features some other sets, but they are all at their regular price.
Toys R Us
First up we have a range of LEGO City trucks for $19.99 (VIP Club Price). These sets are pretty easy to find for $20, so not a huge saving there.
There are also some other LEGO City sets reduced by 30%. There are some decent prices in this selection.
Some good deals can also be found on Creator sets. The Treehouse and Aviation Adventure sets are particularly well priced.
Some minor savings to be had on Chima too.
The newest Castle range is on sale for 20% off. While 20% is a good saving, these sets can probably be found cheaper elsewhere.
Target
Target is keeping it simple with 20% off all toys, which obviously includes LEGO. 20% off is pretty common these days, but it is still a good pre-Christmas offer.
