Rumours suggested it was going to be a Backpack, but it turns out the Patch laden reward is actually a Baseball Cap. The hat can be customised with a selection of cool and retro themed LEGO patches, including Bionicle, Castle and Blacktron. The listing also hints towards additional patches becoming available later down the line, which patches would you like to see?

The LEGO Baseball Cap is available now for a mere 4000 Insider points. It maybe worth noting that Insider rewards may differ in certain regions.

The set is now live on LEGO.com and in certified LEGO Stores with purchase of £95 ($/€100) on selected themes:

• City
• Classic
• Creator 3-in-1
• DOTS
• Friends
• Monkie Kid
• Ninjago

The promotion runs from today, 27th January through to 9th February, so plenty of time to grab one, as long as stocks last of course.

The current promotional lineup of LEGO GWP (gift with purchase) sets include the Year of the Rabbit (40575) set which is free with purchases of £80 ($/€85) or more. If you’re a VIP member then you can also bag the first in a four part series of Houses of the World, free with spends over £220 ($/€250) or more.

Unfortunately the VIP GWP (Houses of the World) has already sold out online in North America and here in Europe, but it may still be available in your local LEGO store. As a little extra treat the LEGO VIP Lunar New Year Add-on Polybag is still available in UK & Europe (whilst stocks last).

The LEGO BIONICLE Tahu and Takua (40581) GWP set will be the next promotional item and will start 27th January!

The set will be a one-off tribute to the long since retired theme BIONICLE. The set will feature one of the most iconic characters from the series, Tahu, accompanied by Takua in his Matoran form.

We can also confirm the spend requirement to get this set, which is £90 ($100/€100), which isn’t that bad considering how high the thresholds have been lately. The promotion starts 27th January. Take a look below at the images and corresponding blurb. 

Please let us know what you think of this GWP set via the comments below. So far we have heard some ‘Marmite‘ reviews, it’s either loved or hated.

Official details:

In 2001, The LEGO Group introduced a new theme that would become a sensation: BIONICLE®. This story of mighty heroes with elemental powers took the world by storm, inspiring comics, novels, and movies. Now two of the theme’s most popular characters return with this LEGO® Icons BIONICLE Tahu and Takua (40581) set. The articulated action figures come with a fire sword and a disc-thrower accessory. The set also includes a lava display stand, so you can pay tribute to BIONICLE in your home or office.

• Get reacquainted with heroes – Tahu and Takua are articulated action figures of iconic heroes from the LEGO® BIONICLE® theme, complete with a fire sword and a disc thrower
• Watch them surf on lava – The set includes a lava display stand, allowing the duo to surf on the rivers of molten lava that flow from the Mangai volcano
• Dimensions – This product measures over 5 in. (13 cm) high and 2 in. (6 cm) wide

LEGO BIONICLE Tahu and Takua (40581) is a modern take on a classic and features one of the most iconic characters in BIONICLE lore Tahu and the little Takua in his Matoran form.

Details have yet to be revealed by LEGO officially but reviews have started to surface, including from Brickset and BrickNerd.

Unfortunately we don’t know the exact date when the promotion starts but it is expected to be late January, most likely after the current House of the World 1 (40583) GWP ends. The spend requirement is slightly more reasonable than recent ones coming in at £90 ($100/€100).

The game runs on Unreal Engine 5, the latest version of the platform, I must say the graphics look gorgeous, with realistic looking surroundings that make the game immersive.

In the video you’ll see Lewa fighting a bundle of enemies using special abilities & powers given by the masks. The game is still in development but from what you’ll see in the video below is breathtaking. Unfortunately there isn’t a release date as yet but BIONICLE: Masks of Power will be available on Steam, add it to your wishlist now and get notified when it drops!
