Yesterday we did our review on the LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) gift with purchase set and if you didn’t see it yet, we revealed the details on how to get it. To get the 92 piece set, you’ll have to make a purchase of $85/€95/£95 from July 1-25, while supplies last. If you look at the price threshold, it is a little bit more than the 10282 buildable shoe which costs $79.99, if you were to get it. That means you’ll need to add a cheaper item or two to get you over the hump. An interesting sales tactic from LEGO if you ask me. As I mentioned in my review, the adidas GWP is a cute set but I don’t think it is worth a $85 purchase. The post LEGO adidas Originals Superstar (40486) GWP Details appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Yesterday, LEGO announced they have revealed the first prototype LEGO brick made from recycled plastic. In the video, could LEGO have teased part of the Earth Globe which was the winner of the First 2020 Review Stage on LEGO Ideas? It is currently under development with at least two more projects to be released ahead of it so there’s still a long ways away from being ready. The land masses have some updated coloring and parts for the terrain but the building style is pretty similar. Of course, this is just speculation and it’s just a brick-built globe LEGO had but it does make you wonder just a little bit. Thanks to Federico for the eagle eye.

LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas Seaside contest in which the winning build will become the next gift-with-purchase set and the title of Fan Designer. The winner with 969 votes is Ray the Castaway by DadiTwins (shown above) and it was a runaway choice from fans as it had over 400 votes over the next runner up build. There’s no word on when it will be released as a GWP but it’ll be probably at least a year if you compare it to previous GWP building contests. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran
