Is LEGO's $550 Venice Set Worth It? #lego #legonews

Minty Take

The 3D-printed piano matters more here than the 5,682-piece count. LEGO rarely builds functional 3D-printed elements into mainline retail sets, usually saving the technique for conventions and one-off exclusives. Putting one in a flagship Icons release signals a line willing to invest in details that photograph well, beyond sheer scale.

LEGO Inside Tour 2027 Registration Opens, Lottery Decides Who Goes

Registration for the 2027 LEGO Inside Tour opened this week and closes October 16, with spots awarded by lottery rather than first-come booking. The three-day event runs across 10 dates next year, with access to the factory, the vault, and an exclusive set, for DKK 25,000 (roughly $3,700) per person.

Minty Take

DKK 25,000 for three days in Billund is steep. The lottery is the real friction point: LEGO could expand Inside Tour capacity for more straightforward revenue, but keeping it scarce is what makes the factory floor and the exclusive set feel like a reward instead of a purchase.

BrickLink Designer Program Wave 1 Voting Closes, Winners Due November 12

Crowd voting on BrickLink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 wrapped October 14, narrowing 421 fan submissions, from castles to pirate ships to cyberpunk builds, down to five finalists. LEGO will announce the winners November 12, though Brick Fanatics notes the process from there to an actual release is a long one.

Minty Take

Five winners out of 421 submissions is the easy part. Brick Fanatics is right to flag the wait that follows: BrickLink Designer Program sets have historically taken the better part of a year to go from announcement to shelf, as LEGO re-engineers fan designs for mass production. Submitting is the fun part; shipping is the bottleneck.
