WHERE IS LEGO MEGATRON? We've been asking for a Decepticon ever since LEGO Transformers was even a possibility. While Soundwave is excellent, we all wanted Megatron or Starscream I don't agree with what people say LEGO's reasoning not doing them is. Let me tell you why:
I will be saving the “where’s Megatron” campaign until after this set has a sec in the spotlight
2025 Set of the Day LEGO Nike Dunk Pros: -Incredible shaping all around -Enhanced display by having the shoe include storage options Cons: -Could just buy a pair of Nike Dunks for the $100 this costs, & the set only has one shoe! -Basketball is good, but could be so much better
The LEGO Ideas lead has spoken on the surge of projects hitting 10k It’s become clear to me each LEGO theme needs a representative keeping tabs on online spaces, fielding questions, & training team members how to respond Today’s responses were not handled appropriately at all
Update: there is a viral TikTok trend to get people to vote for LEGO Ideas projects, hence the record breaking spike in projects hitting 10k Unfortunately, a good number of those mislead users into thinking 10k guarantees their release Raising the vote cap won’t fix this btw
Don’t forget! There are LEGO Ninjago events happening THIS Thursday at San Diego Comic Con! I love that Ninjago has been consistently having a presence at SDCC. Can’t wait to see it continue! I wonder if we’ll hear anything about the new movie or plans for the 15th Anniversary?
NINJAGO RETURNS TO SDCC The “LEGO Ninjago: The Adventure Continues” panel will feature 2026 news for Ninjago’s 15th Anniversary, as well as updates on Dragons Rising Kai and Wyldfyre’s voice actors will be performing live during the panel as well!
2025 Set of the Day LEGO Ninjago Legends The Guardian Dragon Pros: -Even bigger than you think it is -Display-first focus allows for the most organic looking LEGO dragon to date Cons: -Instructions to re-build the dragon with a poseability-focus would be a nice bonus
2025 Set of the Day LEGO Minecraft The TNT Jungle House Pros: -Good means to get iconic Minecraft things -Yes, the whole house can blow up Cons: -Not sure there’s enough Jungle to warrant the set’s name -Might be one of the most boring houses they have ever done
Without Star Wars, I would not have become a LEGO fan

Suddenly all the LEGO Nintendo sets going on clearance so fast and so heavily makes a lot of sense This is marketing research Nintendo did in Japan for their franchise. Imagine this multiplied internationally!
Let’s add LEGO being enthusiastic about DC characters in Fortnite, as if they haven’t shunned the IP for 5 years now, to the list of blunders where they were not reading the room this weekend That & ONLY coming back to this platform JUST to do this exclusively Come on now
He's finally arrived to unite with his allies! 🦾
Throwback Set of the Week LEGO DC Superman vs. Power Armor Lex Pros: -Offers a perfectly chunky mech for its time -"Technical" details make it all the better Cons: -Mech has an awkwardly disproportionate design just to handle the cannon
