Revealed: 21353 The Botanical Garden from LEGO® Ideas
On 1 November 2024, LEGO is releasing the next fan-inspired LEGO® Ideas set: The Botanical Garden!

LEGO® Insiders Weekend 2023 & LEGO® Pick a Brick cutoff dates
This weekend, 18 and 19 November 2023, is LEGO® Insiders Weekend (formerly LEGO® VIP), so it's a great chance to get hold of new elements - in Pick a Brick, sets on sale and pre-orders.
There's double LEGO Insider Points on everything, and some sets in the USA and Canada offer triple and quadruple points! There are three Gifts with Purchase (GwP) available too.
It's a timely opportunity to get loose elements from Pick a Brick, because Monday 20 November is the last order date to receive PaB Standard elements before Christmas! (The cutoff for PaB Bestseller elements is a little later - see our list further down.)
