Ep. 78 - Do NOT Miss This Second Chance! - 5/19/25 - News & Rumors

First up, BrickLink Designer Program drama! Did you miss out on Series 1 and Series 2? If you’re in the U S or Canada, stop everything and listen—because I’ve got breaking intel on a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it chance to snag these ultra-limited sets before they vanish faster than a minifig head in the vacuum.

Also, have you ever had that bittersweet moment when a long-dreamed-of LEGO set finally becomes reality… only to show up looking like it forgot to read its own hype? Yeah, same. On this News & Rumors Monday we’re diving head-first into that heartbreak—and so much more.

• GWP madness – I’ll reveal which shiny new Gift With Purchase is worth rearranging your cart for (and which one is basically a polybag wearing a trench coat).
• LEGO Insiders Rewards – Points, perks, and a couple of seriously oddball digital goodies you never knew you needed.
• Fresh LEGO Ideas approvals – The next fan-designed sensations barreling toward your wallet, complete with those oh-so-sought-after minifigures that’ll have collectors trading limbs—well, minifig limbs, anyway.

By the end you’ll know which rumors deserve a victory dance, which news might sting a little, and which sets to start clearing shelf space for right now.

So grab your favorite building snacks, crank up the volume, and prepare for a roller-coaster ride through the brick-built rumor mill. Thanks for tuning in—let’s get this stud-ded party started!
