LEGO today unveils the set 10276 Colosseum (The Coliseum), a very large box of 9036 pieces which allows you to reproduce the famous Roman monument for the modest sum of 499.99 €. This is not a "historical" representation of the Colosseum, the LEGO version reproduces what remains of the amphitheater today with the interior wall visible on a large half of the monument and the piece of floor added in the 90s which partially covers the hypogeum (the basement of the arena with its many corridors).

The manufacturer does not forget to specify in passing that this is the largest set (in number of pieces) ever marketed by the brand, a title held so far by the set. 75192 Millennium Falcon with its 7541 parts.
You will need to make room on your shelves to display this 6.70 kg model on the scale, the base which accommodates the construction measures 59x52 cm and the monument culminates at 27 cm including display stand.

The set will be marketed from November 27 on the occasion of Black Friday 2020. The members of the VIP program who acquire this box will be offered a small limited edition product: a Roman cart with its pilot and its two brick horses which could possibly be exhibited next to the construction.

We'll be talking about this big set again in a few hours on the occasion of a "Review ".

While waiting to learn more about the various promotional offers planned, here is an overview of what LEGO has in store for us on the occasion of the VIP weekend of November 21/22 which will be followed by Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday 2020 from 27 to November 30, 2020. The manufacturer has indeed disseminated some visuals linked to these two events in the pages of its online offer, images which allow to refine the panel of planned promotions.

VIP weekend from 21 to 22 November 2020:

Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday from 27 to 30 November 2020:

For the more impatient, here is the page to follow on the LEGO Shop so as not to miss any of the planned offers.

For those who like comparisons, know that in 2019, the set 40338 Christmas Tree Limited Edition was offered from 120 € of purchase and that the set 5006085 Buildable 2x4 Red Brick was offered from 200 € of purchase. The minimum amount to spend for the set offered therefore skyrockets by 30 €, but that to obtain the brick to build, which was red in 2019 and which will be Teal this year, remains fixed at 200 €.

Lego set 40410 Charles Dickens Tribute is now online on the official store with some official visuals but for the moment without a description of the terms of the promotional offer that will make it possible to obtain it.

This small box of 333 pieces that pays homage to the author and his book A Christmas Carol (A Christmas Carol) will be a product offered on condition of purchase (GWP) during the pre-Black Friday weekend (21/22 November 2020) and then Black Friday 2020 from 27 to 30 November. Three minifigs representing the main characters of this tale will be in the box valued by LEGO at 24.99 €: Ebenezer Scrooge, Tim Cratchit (Tiny Tim) and his father Bob Cratchit.

The two sets offered by LEGO for the Chinese New Year 2021 are now online on the official store. We therefore discover the public prices that will be charged in France, Belgium and Switzerland for these two boxes, the inventory of which consists of many unpublished pieces so far in specific colors so far already makes some fans salivate.

Once again, all the hazy theories concerning the difficulty for LEGO to offer new parts or existing parts in new colors are undermined by these boxes which prove that the manufacturer knows how to put the package on certain ranges when he decides, in any case more than on others.

Note that the set 80106 Story of Nian is displayed at 79.99 € in Belgium and the set 80107 Spring Lantern Festival It is announced for its part at 109.99 €.

These two boxes are announced for January 10, 2021 and with a little luck I would have told you about these nice sets by then on the occasion of "Review ".

The latest issue of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine is currently very coveted because it allows to obtain a minifigure that is ultimately not so easy to obtain: This month, the publisher Blue Ocean allows us for 5.99 € d '' add a minifigure of Luke Skywalker in Bespin outfit to our collections without having to invest in the set 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City marketed in 2018 at the public price of 349.99 € and already withdrawn from the LEGO catalog or in the set 75294 Bespin Duel, a reference initially planned for Comic Con in San Diego and sold only at LEGO in the USA following the cancellation of the convention.

The minifigure is original enough to justify trying to find a copy of this issue of the magazine at your newsagents, but many outlets are obviously already out of stock. Same observation at journals.fr where availability will only have been effective for a few minutes.

Do not take into account the two facial expressions presented on the bag, the head provided is the one also delivered in the sets 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City et 75294 Bespin Duel. In the pages of the magazine, we learn that the next issue scheduled for December 9 will allow us to obtain a 33-piece micro version of Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Interceptor. It's less sexy than the minifigure provided this month, but it's new.

I went to my tobacconist this morning and took everything he had on the shelf, four copies of the current issue. I keep one for myself and I put the other three into play, all you have to do is post a comment on the article before November 20 at 23:59 p.m. to participate in the draw. I tried to contact the publisher for a few more copies, but got no response.

Update : The winners of the three copies put into play:
