A New LEGO Membership Program, LEGO in Braille and Exciting New Sets: The Toki LEGO Digest

There’s no dull day in the LEGO world. Oh, but we already know that.

Every new month brings excitement and anticipation, whether you are an aficionado, a seasoned collector, or a newbie in the game. So much so that even as you set your eyes on buying one from your wishlist, 100 other LEGO sets are already vying for your attention.

With everything happening at the same time, you don’t want to suffer from Information overload. So don’t you worry; we’ve cut through the noise and decided to bring some news on the latest and greatest to you folks.

1. LEGO VIP is now LEGO Insiders

The much-beloved loyalty membership has just gotten better. As of the end of August, LEGO VIP made way for a more comprehensive LEGO Insiders program. Kicking off this transition is a global competition that can win you millions of prizes hidden within your LEGO bricks at home. Be part of the LEGO Insiders Treasure Hunt to earn a chance to become a LEGO millionaire, with six winners announced every week until 2nd October. 

2. Wish is now on your Wishlist

The latest Disney animation movie, Wish, is already making all the right noises even before its theatrical release in November this year. If your heart beats for every Disney X LEGO collab, then you are in for a treat. Not one, not two, but three LEGO sets based on the film were released last week, featuring the main protagonists and the kingdom. Making a comeback with this theme is the fabled, rare LEGO goat. Set the alarm for October 1, 2023.

Look for – 43223 Asha in the City of Rosas, 43231 Asha’s Cottage, and 43224 King Magnifico’s Castle.

3. Set for the perfect takeoff

Attention aviation enthusiasts! LEGO’s homage to the supersonic Concorde is all set to spread its wings, which had its final flight 20 years ago. So, you may not be able to ride this supersonic jet that has the capability to cruise twice as fast as the speed of sound, but you sure can build it. The realistic model is 3.5 feet long and has a wingspan of 17 inches. Yes, this masterpiece is as close as you can get to the real deal. The 2038-piece LEGO Concorde went live for LEGO Insiders on September 4 and is available for sale to the public on September 7.

Check out – 10318 Concorde

4. Every collector’s pride

Potterheads rejoice! The epic new Gringotts Wizarding Bank – Collectors’ Edition has been in the works for over three years, and it is not surprising that it is a hot cake in the collector’s market. Consisting of 4,803 pieces, this mammoth construction features both the above-ground wizarding bank and the catacomb of vaults below. When at it, do check out the other big release, Hogwarts Castle and Grounds.

PS: 76417 Gringotts Wizarding Bank and 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds 

5. LEGO for all is here

This Lego Classic set stands out from the rest for one simple reason – it is an inclusive set designed by the Lego Group that is in braille. The set is intended to help children with visual impairments practice learning to play and build their skills while giving the whole family a way to play together. The set includes two baseplates and over 250 bricks in five colors: white, yellow, green, red, and blue, with studs that correspond to numbers and letters in the braille code. The product was created with the help of several groups that teach blind children. Available for sale since September 1, 2023, the set is fully compatible with all other LEGO products. Earlier, LEGO offered these Braille bricks to educational institutions for free, but this is the first time they have been made available to the general public.

Note: 40656 Braille Bricks

As we embark on this LEGO-filled September, don’t forget to mark your calendars, set your alarms, and clear some space on your shelves for these incredible new additions to your collection.

Happy building!
