It's a quiet week...
Posted by Huw,
After a hectic New York toy fair weekend it's a quiet week in LEGO-land. There's not a lot of news to report, I'm afraid, but here are a few items to keep you informed:
- Merlin is constructing yet another LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Europe, this time in Nyíregyháza, Hungary. It's due to open in 2020. More information.
Thanks to Yellow for the news. - LEGO has published images of 71042 Silent Mary in preparation for it becoming available at shop.LEGO.com mid-March (you can check the price here: USA | Canada | UK | Germany | France). You'll find two pictures of the ship and eight of the minifigures on the set details page. I think LEGO is being clever only showing photos of the ship taken at an acute angle; I suspect when viewed side-on the hull is full of wide unsightly gaps.
- The Disco Batman/Tears of Batman polybag is now out of stock in Europe so you'll no longer receive one with your order. To compensate a new offer is in place until 12th March: free 30446 The Batmobile when you spend over £25 on 'retiring soon' items (UK | Germany | France).
I hope you don't mind, I'm having a bit of a break from writing reviews this week: I've had some family matters to attend to recently and in what spare time I have had I've been frantically building in preparation for my first event of the year, Rock That Block in Belgium at the start of April. Will I see you there?
Don't forget, when it is a quiet news day you can always amuse yourself here by reading the latest user-contributed reviews, or the always-lively forum.
If you have LEGO news to report, please get in touch via the contact form. Thanks!

We all need our recovery time, let us know when the brick heads competition and the sets review of the Rogue One SW story movie comparison takes places.
That's okay, take as long of a break as you need, you really deserve it from all the Toy Fair updates :)
Thank you for all your hard work, Huw! This is one of the few sites I visit on a daily (or regular) basis.
I need to see the box for Silent Mary. Usually the box art has a great part of decision when buying sets. :)
In this picture it actually looks quite good from the side: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brothers-brick/32971879035/in/photolist-QWSc2q-RE5bxA-S3uzVP-S3oF9g-S3oF7H-S3HJur-QWW7B5-QWW7Ay-QWW7Gf-S2jD6o-S3LCoc-S3LCqr-RZRfEw-QWW7zw-S3LCrt-QZuFdR-SaSJfy-Sfm7a7-QWW7F3-RZRfDu-R1ZzM6-QZuFcD-S2jD1U-S24r1m-SeBuV2-RFh1Qj-xvPaGV-SaQy4W-RFh1UY-RZYJUd-QX3VJj-QZC1fp-S24qRJ-S24qVm-QWW7C7-x4JWyu-RDKwzY-QWW7DE
Whoa, I will be in the neighborhood the weekend of Rock That Block, I will try and see about making it out there on Sunday.
I,m on here every day and I was delighted to see more of the summer sets in more detail from New York, because Nuremburg didn't give us much unless you like technic or lego city..
And I think the better polybag to give away as compensation for tears of batman would have been batgirl or joker battle training.
Enjoy your break and building time. As always thanks for what you all do here on Brickset.
Glad I placed my order when I did if that's out of stock then.
Hope all is well with your family Huw.
Welcome to Belgium!
If everyone goes through their owned sets and posts a review, it would give us heaps to read. Jump to it people!
I've been reviewing more lately. I always wonder if anyone actually reads them.
No worries mate. I can't wait for the news around the May the Fourth Star Wars promotion! Give me a chrome minifigure or give me death!
Oh dear... you've not long to live then given that images of 40268 R3-M3 have just been added to shop.LEGO.com in preparation for a future offer :)
^¨ Hey Huw! I'm going the first of April. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Echoing the above, breath and look after the family Huw
