For a range that had to go by the wayside, the series of figurines Lego BrickHeadz is doing pretty well even if LEGO has reduced the wing a little over the past two years: There will also be a pack in the LEGO Harry Potter range with the reference 40412 Hagrid & Buckbeak (270 pieces) which stages as the title indicates Rubeus Hagrid and the Hippogriff Buck (Buckbeak).

Bonus: We now know all the characters that will be present in the bags of the second series of 16 Harry Potter collectible minifigs (ref. 71028):

Let's go for a big wave of LEGO novelties with more than forty boxes available today in the LEGO Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, Super Mario, Technic, Art, Monkie Kid, Ideas and even LEGO CITY ranges. with three boxes from the "Police" universe which were curiously missing from the assortment launched last June.

There is something for everyone and for all budgets on the occasion of this big launch, it is up to everyone to assess the need to pay a high price for the novelties they deem essential rather than waiting a few weeks or even a few. months to acquire them at a more reasonable price.

This week, LEGO is once again reminding us that the holidays won't last forever with an offer that grants you the School Accessory Set 5005969 Back to School  from 65 € / 70 CHF of purchase.

This pack valued by the manufacturer at 7.99 € was already offered in August 2019 but LEGO was a little less demanding on the minimum amount to spend to obtain it: it was then enough to spend at least 55 € on LEGO products. It contains a notebook, pencil, ruler, brick-shaped eraser, two sticker sheets and a pencil case. Everything is obviously in the brand's colors.

We pretend not to have seen the visuals of the LEGO Star Wars set as usual 75294 Bespin Duel available on all social networks and today we are talking about this little box from the LEGO Star Wars range which we do not yet know when, how and where it will be sold / offered.

What we do know is that this set is stamped 18+, that the box is stamped with the logo celebrating the 40th anniversary of Episode V, that it contains an inventory of 295 pieces and that it allows to get two minifigs: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, the latter being the version also available in the set 75291 Death Star Final Duel (109.99 €) which will be officially on sale from August 1st.

What we don't know at the moment is how and when this little box will be available. Last I heard, it would be a set planned for the Star Wars Celebration convention, the 2020 edition of which was to take place at the end of August in Anaheim (USA) has been canceled.

If this is really the case, one can imagine that this limited edition product was intended, as is usually the case with convention-specific promotional products, to be sold for around $ XNUMX to the lucky few designated beforehand by draw.

It is therefore unlikely that this small box is simply put on sale on the official online store at the same price and we should in my opinion expect a geographically limited distribution or possibly reserved for certain brands or even a promotional operation at LEGO with a relatively high minimum purchase amount. I could obviously be wrong, but we will be quickly fixed on this last point anyway, LEGO will eventually take control to confirm to us whether it is already necessary to prepare to pay for this product at full price on eBay or not.

Note: the illustration photo above is not from the set in question, it is the scene from the LEGO Star Wars set 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City marketed in 2018.

We remain in the world of LEGO books with two new books to be published in April 2021 now listed at Amazon.

The first of these two books, entitled Lego life hacks (11.05 €), will be a collection of everything that you have more or less already seen on the internet in recent years in terms of supports for smartphones, pencil holders or cable storage system based on LEGO bricks or minifigs. The publisher promises to provide detailed instructions for the fifty or so ideas gathered in the 128 pages of the book:
