Bunnings obsessives collectively lost it for the LEGO-style Block Warehouse, both times it hit stores — first in 2019 and then again right before Christmas in 2020.
A super cool collectible or even a fun gift for the DIY-lover, the $30 set featured a scaled-down model of a real-life Bunnings Warehouse and came complete with a mini plant nursery and sausage sizzle stand.
Following the success of the product, Bunnings has now announced it’ll be coming out with five new block models. Releasing each month, the first add-on collectible LEGO-style kit to land in January 2021 is the Building Block Truck.
Designed after the trucks that carry Bunnings’ product between stores, Bunnings described the Block Truck as “the quiet hero, always ensuring the shelves are fully stocked with more than 40,000 products for customers to choose from”.
The truck’s body is crafted in the brand’s signature green shade, with a spot for Bunnings Warehouse stickers to mark the sides of the storage container. There’s a glass windshield, even hazard lights. It’s the little details that truly make it.
As for what’s coming next? Bunnings is staying tight-lipped on the remaining four collectibles, however, pixelated visual clues would have us believe we could potentially expect to see play equipment, and perhaps a forklift.
What we do know is this: “Each add-on will be a replica of features you can easily spot inside a Bunnings Warehouse so that customers can collect and build some of their favourite in store features”.
The Bunnings Block Truck is available now in-stores and online for $10.
