Oooo! MBoM GWP!

Alphabet soup? I think not! 😂

Good news, people. The German site Promobricks reports that The Monster Book of Monsters set with Draco minifig (introduced here LJ / DW) is expected to make an appearance as a Gift With Purchase come January at the Lego Shop@Home (<- less than intuitively, perhaps, that's the preferred terminology for lego.com's store half of the site). Serendipitously, that coincides with the release of the Hogwarts Moments (LJ / DW) classroom books sets (not quite a fan of the name "Hogwarts Moments"; it sounds like a chocolate or a dessert or flavoured coffee or something) and the Hogwarts Crests (LJ / DW), so that should help people make the purchase requirements. In Germany that's expected to be 75 EUR (quite a relief after the recent 150 EUR limits), and the promotion should run for the entire month of January, or as long as supplies last. Worth mentioning: the MBoM is expected to retire after this. (It's conceivable it can reappear briefly at physical stores as the 2018 Bricktober minifig collection (5005254-1) GWP did, but it isn't planned as a regular purchasable set. So if you want it, see to getting it, or resign yourself to picking it up off ebay, bricklink, brickowl & co.)

Also, good news for people in the US, some sharp eyed shoppers have spotted the Moments sets at Kohl's stores already. Not sure how they were able to jump the queue, but there it is... (I've just checked their website, and they aren't available online. If you're interested, call ahead to make sure your local store has them in stock.) So if you can't wait, you can always find them there, but for the more patient among us, or those with less access such as myself 😉, we'll (potentially) be rewarded / compensated with the MBoM opportunity come January. Fair enough, I think. 😊

I wish there were wind-up MBOMs like the chattering teeth of old.
They would definitely make playing with the Lego sets more interesting.

BTW here's an image for the exclamation "Sweet Baby Bellatrix!"

I'm not smart enough to know how to use the bangs and whistles in this new era of online communications. I can't add emojis or the like, and I must have decided to monkey around a bit. I have no idea what I might have done.... 8^) <----- this is my attempt at smiling-me wearing my glasses...
