The LEGO Group’s love-in with Space for its 90th anniversary continues (sort of) with 11022 Space Mission, which is now available online and in-store in the US. It’s the sixth standard LEGO Classic set to hit shelves this year – so, excepting the four new baseplate SKUs and the polybag 30510 90 Years of Cars…
Second LEGO Classic Castle set rumoured for 90th anniversary in 2022
A second LEGO Castle set may be in the works to celebrate the LEGO Group’s 90th anniversary, this time based on the classic Forestmen subtheme. We know at least one celebratory set based on either Castle, Space, Pirates or BIONICLE is on the way as a result of last year’s LEGO Ideas poll, but new…
