In February and March 2021, the LEGO® Ideas website ran a “We Love Sports'' contest. Table Football, designed by fan designer Donát Fehévári, was selected as winner, and will be released an official set on 1 November 2022. For those of you aware of the original submission, there is one massive change. The original was 11-a-side, and this is only 5-a-side! Why didn’t LEGO deliver on this? The short answer is, if they had to stick to 11-a-side, the set would not have been released at all.

In 1979 The LEGO Group released a set which is still much loved by fans
of the LEGO® Space theme, designed by the now-legendary Jens Nygård
Knudsen. In the USA it was known as 497 Galaxy Explorer, while elsewhere
it went by the name of 928 Space Cruiser And Moonbase. Nowadays, fans
mostly refer to it as “Galaxy Explorer” or simply “928” since that was
the number printed on the sides of both versions of the ship.
Due for release on 1 August 2022 worldwide, the set will retail for £89.99 / US$99.99 / 99.99€ / AU$179.99 and contains 1254 pieces, giving a price to part value of 7.2p / 8.0c / 8.0c.

Ever since 21324 Sesame Street was announced I have been looking forward to today’s set, or rather, series of sets: 71033 The Muppets Collectible Minifigures. Capturing the unique looks of the characters would be impossible without introducing some new parts, so naturally we’re gonna take a closer look at them. The series consists of 12 characters, all coming with newly moulded heads, and most bringing new prints for the torsos and legs.
