Get this Forest Hideout gift with any LEGO purchase of $150 or more, available from August 1 through August 14, 2022, while supplies last. The free LEGO 40567 Forest Hideout offer is applicable for orders placed online at LEGO.com, in LEGO Stores, and over the phone using the LEGO Catalog.

This set pays tribute to LEGO 6054 Forestmen’s Hideout, an iconic LEGO Castle set from 1988. Can you spot the similarities between the two sets?

Let’s look closer at more of the amazing details of this nostalgic set.

Packaging

As part of the LEGO Group’s 90 years of play, this set is a homage to the LEGO ICONS sets of the past. It comes with 258 pieces and 2 minifigs.

The hideout opens to reveal the interior consisting of two floors. The outside uses tree limbs and leaves as camouflage.

Build

There are lots of accessories for archery target practice. Don’t miss the toadstool, flowers, and shrub outside. My favorite are the shields and weapon accessories.

With the gift with purchase threshold of $150, you’ll have to spend quite a bit to get this set. However, the nostalgia is real and this would make a great addition to your LEGO Castle collection.

With this adult themed LEGO Atari 2600 construction kit, you can travel back in time to the 1980s. Enjoy a fulfilling endeavor as you recreate the joystick, game cartridges, and system. Gamers will especially like the three mini builds that represent themes from three well-known Atari games. Furthermore, even a secret 1980s scene has been included for maximum nostalgia.

Building this elaborate set will take you on an adventure, from the initial unpacking to the final brick. You will discover elements like the controller’s moving joystick, which replicates the original’s feel. Both gamers and brick builders will love opening the front to see a pop-up scene from an 80’s gaming room, which will bring back memories of hours spent attempting to beat previous records.

Discover three of the most played Atari games: Centipede, Adventure, and Asteroids. Each game has its own cartridge as well as they can be built into 3D versions of game scenes. The games may be kept in the cartridge holder and inserted into the retro-style console. The console also has a button that lets you choose between a color TV and a black-and-white TV.

Beginning August 1, 2022, the LEGO Atari 2600 kit will go on sale at a suggested retail price of $239.99 at LEGO Stores and on www.LEGO.com/Atari.

Let’s take a look at all of the amazing features of this set in more detail.

Packaging

The box front shows all of the components that come with this build. From the console, joystick, and three games, you will have as much fun building this set as you did all those years ago playing the games!

The back of the box features all of the additional components of this set. Notice how the front panel looks like the original console with working switches. Further, each game cartridge comes with a 3D model.

Minifigure

Unlike some other LEGO ICONS sets, this one comes with a minifigure. It is of an Atari gamer fan with joystick accessory.

Build

The brick-built joystick is very realistic! Not only does it look real, it also moves and feels like the original Atari joystick.

The LEGO Atari console has plug-ins for the controllers just like the original.

It comes with a total of three iconic games: Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede. Were you able to play them all?

Another unique feature of this set is that it comes with a very creative vignette to build for each game. Here is the one for Adventure, which is a castle and a dragon.

Next, the game Centipede has a very cool brick-built model of the arthropod.

Finally, the game Asteroids includes the spaceship shooting the asteroids down!

A pop-up hidden scene of a gaming room from the 80’s even makes an appearance. Check out all the retro posters, TV, boombox, roller-skates and more! Don’t miss the cute cat in the corner.

The game cartridges even fit inside the console just like the actual Atari. In addition, there is a cartridge holder for all of the games.

The LEGO 10306 Atari 2600 is sure to provide you with hours of fun and is a great gift for any retro gaming fans! Which Atari game is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Packaging

At 1,456 pieces this build will take awhile. The packaging shows it is sleek and stylish. Vintage car fans will recognize the look right away. No detail was overlooked, not even the furry dice!

The back of the box shows even more customizable details. I like how there is a picture of the real Chevrolet Camaro Z28 to compare! Additionally, the silver rims are a nice touch.

Build

The attention to detail continues when you look under the hood. Take a look at the V8 engine. Notice how the front wheels are turned showing the working steering mechanism.

Show off the 1969 Camaro Z28 with this great license plate. There’s also another one to choose from as well.

The interior is incredibly detailed. This looks like some sort of hot rod magazine in the back seat.

Here’s a look at even more custom options. You can choose the type of headlights, license plate, hard top or convertible, and color of racing stripes: red, white, or gray.

Open up the hood, doors, and trunk for a closer look inside.

Finally, another look at all of the choices you will have to make this build your own. You can always build and rebuild if you ever want to change up the look!

Overall, the detail on the LEGO Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is unmatched. Vintage car fans will love to build and display this set.

The LEGO Group and Hasbro join forces to create the new LEGO 10302 Transformers Optimus Prime. This marks the first LEGO Transformers set ever! Additionally, you can build both the robot and alt modes of this iconic toy. Part of the new LEGO ICONS theme, you can travel back to the past with over 1,500 pieces of 1980’s nostalgia.

This set is a perfect tribute to everyone’s favorite leader of the Autobots. In robot mode, he stands over 1 foot tall. You can transform into truck alt mode using 19 points of articulation. There is no need to take apart and rebuild the model!

Transformers originally debuted in 1984 with the animated TV show and popular toy line. This model features the G1 Optimus Prime. Accessories such as the Energon Axe, ion blaster, Energon Cube, and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership come with the set.

Packaging

Celebrate over 35 years of Transformers with this epic LEGO set. The front of the box features Optimus Prime’s Robot mode. Check out the upper right corner where you can see how the model converts to the truck alt mode.

The back of the box shows how the model converts without having to take it apart! This is one of only a very few LEGO sets that can do this.

Build

Here are some more photos of the complete build with the accessories.

It looks easy enough to convert to the truck without breaking. These articulating joints are typically pretty sturdy.

The final truck build looks great.

While in Robot mode, strap on the jetpack to extend the play options!

Furthermore, store the Autobot Matrix of Leadership in the chest compartment. Right where it belongs!

Check out the intimidating Energon Axe.

Complete your display with this plaque showing facts and features about Optimus Prime.

If you are a fan of thrill rides and theme parks, you’re going to love the new LEGO 10303 Loop Coaster. This set is part of the new LEGO ICONS theme for adults and was recently revealed by The LEGO Group last month. If you are a LEGO VIP, you can get this set before everyone else! It is now available with VIP early access.

At over 36 inches high (that’s 3 feet!), LEGO 10303 Loop Coaster is one of the tallest LEGO sets. There will never be a dull moment when building all of the twists and turns. You will notice the huge elevator tower which lifts the car high up in the air. This allows enough power to make it through two loops!

The roller-coaster uses gravity for power, but you can also the LEGO Powered Up motor for the elevator. One train comes with the set, along with a boarding station. Other accessories are a pretzel cart, balloon cart, hot-dog stand, park bench and map, and height marker.

Furthermore, this set comes with eleven minifigures! These are a ride operator, balloon seller, pretzel seller, hot-dog seller, a grandma, a young boy, and five additional riders.

Let’s take a closer look at some amazing product photos.

Packaging

The dark theme of the packaging is consistent with the other adult LEGO sets. At 3,756 pieces, this set will make for a challenging build. Also, notice the “Fairground Collection” shown below the set name and logo. This may be a new subtheme of the LEGO ICONS.

The back of the box shows many of the amazing features. Notice on the right it lists the components of the Powered UP. Look at the size of that vertical drop!

Build

This looks like a fun and challenging build. Even more challenging by emptying out all the bags in those bowls.

These look like sticker elements for the ride entrance. That kid looks mad as he is too short to ride. Also, sorry no squirrels allowed.

A nicely decorated boarding area awaits the riders. Translucent studs make for a nice look. I’m not sure if I would have planted a palm tree there.

The balloon cart is a nice addition. I think the balloon animals are very well done, and I haven’t seen this accessory before! Maybe some translucent balloons next?

Two loops will have your riders screaming with joy on this ride. It’s impressive that the car is gravity powered to make it through a double loop

Here’s a closer look at the optional Powered Up motor. This will allow your car to go up the elevator on its own.

Minifigures

Finally, check out these 11 minifigures! There aren’t too many accessories, I guess because five of them are supposed to be riders. The squirrel is super cute!

Overall, the LEGO 10303 Loop Coaster looks like an incredible set. It would make a great addition to any LEGO theme park, LEGO city, or as a display piece! Are you going to pick this set up in the LEGO VIP presale? Let us know in the comments!
