I noticed a couple of items hitting a nice 40% discount and thought I’d share the news to generate a bit of income:
75926 Pteranodon Chase is just $11.99 down from $19.99.
75950 Aragog’s Lair is a mere $9.00 down from $14.99.
75228 Escape Pod vs. Dewback Microfighters is $11.99 down from $19.99. These things are adorable.
Even though it’s not quite at 40% off, 38% is still worth an honorable mention. 76104 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up is just $18.48 down from $29.99.
A new month and a new selection of LEGO is now available for purchase across a variety of themes including Star Wars and Harry Potter. I’ve pulled together a list below with options from both Amazon and LEGO Shop@Home. And to be completely honest, some of these things may have been available earlier. I’m just going by the “NEW” tag on Shop@Home’s list pages.
Also, right now through August 14th (or while supplies last), place an order at LEGO Shop@Home and you’ll get their first ever green product: 40320 Plants from Plants. The set is the first set of elements made entirely from plants and not fossil fuels. I remember a long time ago, LEGO held a survey asking customers what they thought about parts made from sustainable or recycled parts. And if I remember correctly, the overwhelming choice was that customers were fine with it as long as it didn’t compromise the high quality that LEGO is known for. Plant elements tend to be a bit softer than the other hard ABS parts, which probably made it a bit easier to achieve both goals of being made from sustainable / recycled parts and maintain quality. 40320 Plants from Plants is free with any LEGO merchandise purchase of $35 or greater and will be automatically added to cart once the minimum is met.
Also, I think some LEGO CITY and Disney sets are also new. Maybe not August 1st new, but new-ish.
I can’t think of a better way to start a Monday than with a couple of new product announcements. From Harry Potter, we have 75950 Aragog’s Lair, a $14.99 set with 157 pieces. From Fantastic Beasts, we have 75952 Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures, a $49.99 set with 694 pieces. The Case set looks absolutely fantastic, no pun intended. You build a briefcase that opens up to a small playset.
