31116 Safari Wildlife Tree House – Should you buy it?
Creator is probably one of my favourite LEGO themes. It was the theme that really led me out of the dark ages and as such I’m generally pretty keen on anything Creator that shows up. So the answer to the question of whether you should buy 31116 is obviously going to be yes, right? Well my verdict may surprise you.
The main build of 31116 is pretty simple. Its a tree house, used for watching wildlife. It’s pretty much all there in the name.
June releases up on Amazon Australia
Amazon have added listings for a heap of the June releases. At this early stage the prices seem to be around RRP for most of the sets but hopefully as other retailers start listing them too Amazon will match and the prices will come down.
If you want to check out what Amazon has listed you can find them all here [affiliate link].
If you want to keep an eye on prices then be sure to regularly check the Amazon deals page.
LEGO announces LEGO CON – An online experience for LEGO fans everywhere!
The other day LEGO teased a something big happening on June 26th, and there were some pretty wild guesses from lighting kits to a new Stranger Things set. Well today I can reveal that the tease was for LEGO CON. What is LEGO CON I hear you ask. Well it’s a 90 minute online “experience”.
The event promises to have live entertainment, world-first reveals, behind-the-scenes access and never-tried-before build attempts.
The event will take place live from LEGO House but us Australians may want to wait and watch it back later. The event kicks of at 2am AEST on June 27th here in Australia. That’s an early morning for some LEGO reveals.
With global travel still a bit of a pipe dream it’s great that LEGO is trying something cool online but I don’t think this is going to be an event primarily aimed at AFOLs.
You can find out more about the event on the LEGO CON 2021 landing page.

Build your own flat Earth with 31203 LEGO Art World Map
The LEGO Ideas World Globe is still in the pipeline but if you prefer your representations of Earth a little less spherical then do I have the set for you.
Introducing 31203 World Map
With 11695 pieces this is officially the biggest LEGO set ever in terms of overall parts. It also proves why Price Per Part doesn’t always make sense as almost all of those 11695 parts are 1x1s.
I think this is going to be one of those sets you either love or have no interest in at all.
If you do plan on getting this one be aware you are going to need a lot of space with the finished model measuring 65cm by 104cm. Thankfully you can mount this on a wall with ease.
The set will be released on June 1st and cost $399.99.
Reminder: 76178 Daily Bugle released for VIPs May 26th
Are you are LEGO VIP and Spider-Man fan? Well if you are then there’s a good chance you are up late waiting for the VIP release of 76178 Daily Bugle.
As far as I know the VIP release should be kicking off at 12am on May 26th, which is less than an hour away.
You can get yours here for $499.99 [affiliate link]

Official details of 40516 Everyone is Awesome
Today LEGO has officially revealed a fantastic new exclusive set – 40516 Everyone is Awesome.
Paraphrasing the iconic Everything is Awesome from the LEGO movie this set celebrates the diversity of AFOLs around the world.
The buildable display model is inspired by the iconic rainbow flag which is used as a symbol of love and acceptance by the LGBTQIA+ community and features 11 monochrome minifigures each with its own individual hairstyle and rainbow colour.
This really is a beautiful display piece and I love what it represents.
The set will be released on June 1st and has an Australian RRP of $59.99. This is an exclusive set so may not be coming to retailers in the near future.
Check out additional images and the press release below.
