It is once again via the page dedicated to the certification of LEGO products today we discover the first visuals of three promotional products which will soon be offered subject to purchase on the official online store and in the LEGO Stores.

On the program, a small pot of flowers which should in principle be used to introduce the principle of Botanical Collection of the manufacturer with potential customers and fill the shelves a little more with those who have already fallen for one or more of the existing products in this range, a micro-scene referring to the world of pirates by featuring two children in disguise within their play area and the second set of the collection Houses of the World inaugurated last January by the LEGO reference 40583 Houses of the World 1 offered from 250 € of purchase. This collection, which highlights different types of habitat around the world, will be made up of four boxes.

These three promotional products should be offered in April and/or May on the official online store, we do not yet know the minimum amounts required for each of them to be added to the basket. We can however assume that it will be necessary to spend again 250 € without restriction of range to be offered a copy of the LEGO set 40590 Houses of the World 2.

These three sets are not yet referenced on the Shop, they will be directly accessible via the links above when the manufacturer has updated the inventory of its online store.

Bad news for anyone who already saw themselves enjoying the planned arrival of a new LEGOLAND amusement park in Charleroi in Belgium, the project was definitively abandoned and it was the Walloon Minister of the Economy who took charge of announcing the bad news to the press : "...The group made this decision following a comprehensive assessment of its global operations. Its diagnosis leads to a modification of the strategy which consists in favoring a consolidation of the existing infrastructures (and under construction) rather than an expansion of the activities..."

The opening of the 70-hectare park was in principle scheduled for March 2027 and Merlin Entertainments aimed to welcome nearly 2 million visitors in the first year of operation. 800 direct jobs and as many indirect jobs were to be created by this establishment.

We can't say that the LEGO DC Comics range is currently in good shape at LEGO, so we'll do with what we have on hand: if you also like to collect the various and varied books and boxes under license, know that you can get from October 26, 2023 the minifigs of Batman and Harley Quinn in a nice box that includes two activity books for a total of 40 pages.

These two figurines will obviously not be new or exclusive to this box intended for the youngest, it is about those delivered in the set 76220 Batman vs. Harley Quinn available at the public price of €14.99 since September 2022. It's up to you to see if the box set and the two books provided justify the price difference between the two products. This set is currently up for pre-order on Amazon:

LEGO® DC Super Heroes™: Batman vs. Harley Quinn (with Batman™ and Harley Quinn™ minifigures, pop-up play scenes and 2 books)
