In a sponsored Facebook ad from South African LEGO Certified Store, Yellow Brick Company, we got our first look at the LEGO Amelia Earhart Tribute (40450) set. It features the red Lockheed 5B Vega which she used to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932. The ad shows that you have to spend R2500 or more on any LEGO product to get it. There’s no word yet on when it will be available here in the US. We’ll just have to wait until the LEGO Store Calendars to come out to confirm its availability. **Via Promobricks** Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Yesterday’s release of the designer video for the LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) may have also teased a future gift with purchase item. About 1:10 into the video when LEGO designer Wes Talbott reaches up to the cabinet to get the set, the right side of it has a small castle build on top of some storage bricks. A few keen eyed readers have already suggest that this little build could be a GWP next month when the Medieval Blacksmith is released. We all know LEGO likes to do teasers for upcoming products but there hasn’t been any updates from LEGO on upcoming promotions so we’ll have to wait for the LEGO Store Calendar to be published online to see whether or not it will be a GWP. Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran
