LEGO’s newest theme, LEGO VIDIYO was announced last month but the details for it were lacking and there was no products shown off. The LEGO Shop also doesn’t show much off except for the Llama which seems to be the de facto mascot for the theme. Instagram user marleylego has found some in their local Meijer store for $20 each and has shown off some of the details of the sets which include the Candy Mermaid Beatbox (43102), Party Llama Beatbox (43105), and Hiphop Robot Beatbox (43107). Note that Meijer does mark their prices up a little on everything so we’ll see if it’s that price. Each set also include 16 printed tiles to use to decorate the set. LEGO VIDIYO is set to be released on March 1 so we’ll probably start seeing details of the sets in a few days/weeks. **Via Promobricks** Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In just a few days, LEGO will be releasing the LEGO Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Targa (10295) for VIPs and there was supposed to be a limited edition LEGO Porsche Owners Pack when you purchase the set. Unfortunately for those in North America, LEGO has cancelled the promotion due to shipping challenges. I’m not sure what that really means as it wasn’t explained on the LAN but it might be a dealbreaker for those where were thinking of getting the set early. The Owners Pack (shown above) includes a Porsche wallet along with some prints and a Certificate of Awesomeness. Other parts of the world will still get the promotion when the set launches for VIPs on February 16. This is a heads up for North America only — the VIP Porsche Owners Pack gift with purchase promotion has been cancelled due to shipping challenges. VIPs can still order the...
