The Halloween gift window ends Tuesday. LEGO’s U.S. terms run through October 27 for the Fun Halloween Skeleton (30717) with $40 in qualifying merchandise and Luminous Ghost (40772) with $120. The Ghost offer is online only; the Skeleton offer also covers LEGO Stores and telephone orders. Both are while supplies last, exclude Standard Pick a Brick and are limited to one of each gift per household. Review the offer terms and confirm any gift in your basket before paying.
BrickFair Oaks’ current ticket code ends Saturday. BrickFair lists $7OFFTICKETS for $7 off online tickets through October 31. The public show is November 7–8; this code is separate from four-day convention registration and does not apply to $20 door admission. Check the online ticket options.
One week remains for Standard Pick a Brick orders. November 1 is the final ordering day before unmigrated Standard parts become unavailable in the U.S. and Canada on November 2. LEGO expects those parts to return as Bestseller during Q1 2027; DUPLO will take longer. Standard is ending in its current form; this is a service change, not a permanent retirement of those parts. Read the Pick a Brick team’s statement shared by New Elementary.
This Week in LEGO Castle
Dustmark Keep started reaching backers. Brick Fanatics reported customer arrivals of BrickLink Designer Program Series 8 sets, including the fortress. Check your tracking if you preordered; reported deliveries do not mean every order has shipped.
A castle expansion appeared in a Pick a Brick test. StoneWars reported on LEGO’s Skærbæk presentation, which showed a Castle Expansion Pack being tested on a Creator castle product page. It is an A/B test, not a confirmed retail launch. Public availability, contents and pricing remain unconfirmed.
Monty Python’s French Encounter reached LEGO Ideas review. Krackenator4’s castle scene passed 10,000 supporters and qualified for review. That is a milestone for the fan design, not approval for an official set. See the project coverage.
