It's also known that this new product will likely be accompanied by a free gift with purchase, which will probably also be revealed during the event.

The team in charge of evaluating ideas submitted on the LEGO IDEAS platform has just reveal the result of the first evaluation phase for 2025. As announced, this is the biggest announcement to date within this program, with half a dozen validations. Of the 57 ideas in contention, five have been selected, and a sixth, which had been pending, has been added to the PParking Lot is it also definitively validated?

Three ideas stemming from this wave are, for their part, placed in a waiting phase in the Parking LotTheir evaluation requires more time:

Everything else falls by the wayside without momentum and the creators of these various projects will have to settle for the "consolation" endowment consisting of LEGO products with a total value of $500 offered to all those who reach 10.000 supporters.

The next announcement will take place in spring 2026 with the results of the second phase of evaluation in 2025, which includes 146 ideas:

If you plan to celebrate the opening of the new LEGO Store in La Défense (Paris) on October 30, 2025 at 10:00 AM, be aware that some promotional offers are planned: You will notably be able to get a free copy of the set 5009625 La Défense Grand Opening from 150 € of purchase.

This small 158-piece set is actually a product recently released by LEGO for the opening of many new stores; it is customized according to the store in question, but these sets all offer the same product and the same inventory. Tile personalized nearby.

I cobbled together the image above based on existing products and on the certification file uploaded by LEGO.

There’s nothing quite like a Tile white with the inscription "I Love LEGO STORE PARIS LA DÉFENSE" (view this file) will also be offered, and the LEGO DREAMZzz polybag 30698 Cooper's Flying Controller Mini Build will be free from 40 € of purchase.

Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO promotional set. 5009823 Fish Tank Filter & Fish Food, a small box of 177 pieces which will be offered to members of the LEGO Insiders program on the official online store from November 13 to 19, 2025 for the purchase of the LEGO ICONS set 10366 Tropical Aquarium (449,99 €).

As you probably already know if you've been following along, the contents of this little set are meant to "enhance" the aquarium by adding a filter to be installed outside the structure, inside which you'll find a fish that seems to have wandered in. The whole thing comes with a small box of fish food. It's hard to criticize the product's design; it does indeed resemble some aquarium filter models, and the construction isn't out of place.

Even better, the model is designed to sit on the frame of the €450 faux aquarium, thus reinforcing the lifestyle "illusion" so touted by influencers of all stripes by perfecting the object's look. Why not, even if it seems obvious that LEGO has once again extracted content from the main set to artificially create a promotional product intended to entice hesitant customers at launch.

However, I don't think that if the filter had been supplied with the aquarium from the start, it would have changed much in terms of perception: the aquarium is too expensive in any case, and I personally find it totally outdated and a failure in some respects, with or without a filter.

The lifestyle approach is, in my opinion, superfluous here, and a simple aquatic diorama without all the trappings of the frame and filter around it would have been far more convincing, in addition to being a reproduction of animals in their natural element and not in the living room of John and Brenda, who are only too happy not to have to feed or watch these plastic fish die.

For those worried about the appearance of a fish that ended up in the filter and is therefore doomed to float on its back in the bowl, rest assured that you can remove it from the structure and place it directly in the aquarium. Phew, problem solved! The small box of fish food is rather pointless; its only redeeming feature is the printed design on the front of the packaging. You can still play at feeding your plastic fish, but don't overdo it.

In short, if you've already fallen for the aquarium and are eagerly awaiting November 13th, this filter will undoubtedly seem essential, and you'll happily spend your €450 at LEGO to get the "complete" set. Otherwise, you can save your money and spend it on another set without regretting not having gotten this 177-piece filter.

You'll also have the satisfaction of having avoided that somewhat underhanded tactic of offering DLC ​​separately for a limited time, forcing you to buy it at full price. That is, until the tactic is applied to a product you actually want, which will inevitably happen one day.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at November 19, 2025 at 23:59 p.m. Simply post a comment below the article to participate.

Today we'll briefly revisit the contents of the LEGO Disney set. 40774 Classic Animation Scenes, a box of 270 pieces currently offered and at best until November 11, 2025 on the official online store from €130 purchase without range restriction.

Almost everything has already been said about this promotional product, initially offered by Disney on its official online store before being offered by LEGO. The principle is simple: you assemble a slightly vintage, cartoon-style television and three inserts that slide one after the other into the space provided for this purpose.

The idea is brilliant, the execution is perfect, I don't see much to criticize about this little product which could easily have been sold for around twenty euros and found its audience.

Assembling the product takes only a few minutes but is still entertaining. You stick on four stickers, whose background color unfortunately doesn't perfectly match the color of the pieces they're applied to, and that's it. The three micro-builds are well-executed, and the theme is immediately recognizable despite the limited inventory. As a bonus, you get two figurines, which are unfortunately not new: Woody and Simba.

The Woody minifigure reuses a torso, head, and hat available from LEGO since 2019, and unfortunately omits the legs and boots, which have already been included in a handful of sets. The Simba minifigure is the one included in the LEGO IDEAS set since 2024. 21352 Magic of Disney.

If you have the opportunity to place an order on the official LEGO online store, I think the effort of reaching the minimum order amount of €130 is well worth it. You end up with a very nice product that would make a great gift for a Disney fan during the holiday season. Without going into too much detail, I think it's one of the best, if not the best, promotional products LEGO has created this year.

If you are also good with your ten fingers, the possibilities for expansion are numerous: simply reuse the format of the inserts provided to create other scenes inspired by Disney films and associate them with your favorite minifigs.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at November 18, 2025 at 23:59 p.m. Simply post a comment below the article to participate.

For those interested, LEGO is doubling Insider points on the LEGO IDEAS set. 21359 Italian Riviera  from today until November 3, 2025.

To put it simply, if you buy this large box of 3251 pieces, which retails for €279,99, you'll earn 4200 points during the promotion instead of the usual 2100 points. These 4200 points will give you a discount of €28 instead of the usual €14 on a future order.

It's always a good thing if you don't want to wait for this box, currently exclusive to the official online store, to be available for much less elsewhere than at LEGO.

Note that this offer can be combined with those currently allowing you to obtain two promotional products: the LEGO Disney set 40774 Classic Animation Scenes offered from 130 € of purchase without restriction of range as well as the LEGO set 40712 Micro Rocket Launchpad offered from 200 € of purchase without restriction of range.

Remember to recover a unique code at this address before placing your order on the Shop to take advantage of this second promotional product offered.
