There are countless options for cars inspired by films to join Speed Champions and characters from the animated Cars movies are a lovely idea, albeit perhaps an unexpected one! After all, the theme has focused on real cars so far, so 77255 Lightning McQueen makes a change.
Animated subjects are often tricky to capture in LEGO form and Lightning McQueen is no exception, as a car with few straight lines. Despite the challenging shape, I think McQueen looks good in official images and I am interested to see how the character translates to this kind of model.
Today's random set is 3427 NBA Slam Dunk, released during 2003. It's one of 55 Sports sets produced that year. It contains 53 pieces and 1 minifig, and its retail price was US$8/£4.99.
It's owned by 1,022 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $55.40, or eBay.

This colourful home office decor piece comes in a black lacquer shadow box frame and has 2 display options. It can be mounted on a wall with a hanger or freely stood on a flat surface.

LEGO has announced the next Gardens of the World set, depicting an autumnal setting! The press release follows:

Unwind as you build each intricate detail, then rearrange the trees, plants and cottagecore decor elements to create a vibrant display for the home or office.
Inspired by storybook cottages, this addition to the Gardens of the World collection features birch, weeping willow, blue spruce and maple trees, plus seasonal flowers. Other highlights include a sundial, birdhouse, vegetable cart, a garden gnome and a stream with stepping stones. A cottage with a cosy kitchen and woodland creatures including robin and nuthatch birds, a squirrel, frog, and snail add the final touches to this model – a perfect gift for adult fans of creative home decor.
The Classic Space logo has become a symbol of LEGO history and appears on many minifigures and sets, particularly nowadays. However, there has never been a model focused completely on the Classic Space logo, until now!
5009806 Retro Space Explorer will be available starting on November 22nd and valued at 2400 points in the Insiders Rewards Centre. I think the logo itself translates well to three dimensions, though the base underneath seems rather bland. Also, the same blue astronaut has appeared twice before, so the chance for a unique colour has again been missed.
Today's random minifigure is col443Flying Saucer Costume Fan, Series 26, a Collectible Minifigures figure that came in one set, 71046-7 Flying Saucer Costume Fan, released during 2024.
Our members collectively own a total of 17,882 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $4.70.

10366 Tropical Aquarium is a wonderful model and one you're likely to want to keep out on show once you've spent 10 hours building it.
To prevent it getting dusty, Unique Display has come up with a display solution that integrates with the model's frame to make it look more like a real aquarium.
Four acrylic panels are provided which affix to the front, sides, and top in various ways to enclose the model. There are two versions, one with slots at the top to allow the filter to be added, and one without.
It's priced at £44.99, but the first 50 purchasers who use the code AQUA15 at checkoutwill receive a 15% discount, taking the price down to £38.24, and we'll receive a small commission. If you miss out on that, BRICKSET10 will provide a 10% discount.
LEGO gifts-with-purchase have been a common occurrence since around 2011, with the launch of an exclusive minifigure for May the Fourth and promotional seasonal sets released in the run-up to Christmas. Their frequency has greatly risen since then, with new gifts-with-purchase launched every couple of weeks nowadays.
While their limited availability can sometimes be frustrating, I think promotional sets are often a nice reward, especially when they provide something unlikely to appear in a retail set. However, this is a delicate balance and a couple of recent examples have provoked particular criticism.
75419 Death Star and 10366 Tropical Aquarium have both been criticised as incomplete without their respective gifts-with-purchase, 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack and 5009823 Fish Tank Filter & Fish Food. I think now is a good time to examine promotional sets, which are most successful and where they can go wrong.
