Get Your Marauder’s Map Ready – LEGO Launches A 6,000 Piece Hogwarts Castle Set That Costs $650
Do you like Harry Potter?
Do you like LEGO’s?
Do you happen to have $650 of expendable income lying around?
If you answered “yes” to all three questions, then brace your muggle heart, because everyone’s favourite toy brick company has come up with a stunning recreation of the one and only Hogwarts Castle.
You’re A Builder, Harry!

Okay, we’ll admit that this isn’t exactly *breaking* news — according to Brickipedia, LEGO have already released four versions of the iconic HP locale, but this one is so detailed that it’s probably the closest you’ll ever get to attending a Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
“How detailed can detailed be?”, you ask? Well, for starters, the set is comprised of a whopping 6,020 pieces, a significant upgrade over the previous iteration’s brick count of 1,290.
Everything from the Great Hall to the Chamber of Secrets is included, and you’ll have 27 microfigures of Harry and the gang to really make the place come alive.

We could go on, but you should just watch this video to get a proper sense of how grand this thing is:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-SY7FdM908]Avada Kedavra, Wallet
As previously mentioned, however, this collector’s item will set you back $650 ($649.90, to be exact), but if you’re undeterred by the price tag you’ll be glad to know that you won’t have to wait too long before you can get your hands on one.
The set will be released this Saturday, the 1st of September, and it’s such a big deal that LEGO is currently holding a launch event for it at Compass One mall (sorry, west siders).
[caption id="attachment_36842" align="alignnone" width="900"]

To sweeten the deal, early adopters will be treated to an exclusive “mosaic gift” that supposedly can’t be bought anywhere else.
For those who don’t have the cash but still want to join in the festivities, there’s still a host of Potter-themed activities to partake in, including the building of a 152cm x 152cm mosaic of the franchise’s titular character.
The event only ends on the 9th of September, so don’t feel too pressured to make an impulse buy — considering the price, we aren’t expecting these to fly off the shelves.

Have Breakfast At Tiffany’s: Free Croissants And Coffee From Tiong Bahru Bakery Available 27 Aug To 3 Sep
For those of you who loved the classic 1961 film starring Audrey Hepburn, having ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ is no longer a dream.
Tiffany & Co. is collaborating with Tiong Bahru Bakery as part of the launch of their Tiffany Paper Flowers collection in Singapore.
From 27 August to 3 September 2018, Tiong Bahru Bakery will be handing out free croissants and coffee from their striking turquoise kiosk outside ION Orchard.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm-WspPHqTb/
There are, however, certain prerequisites before you proceed to claim your croissant and coffee.
First, you’ll have to take a photo of the kiosk.
Next, upload it onto Instagram or Facebook with the hashtags #tiffanypaperflowers and #tiongbahrubakery.
That’s it. You have earned your breakfast. Or lunch. Note that the kiosk operates from 10am to 2pm daily.
But if a croissant and a coffee isn’t sufficient, then you might want to head to the actual OG Tiong Bahru Bakery instead, which has also been taken over by Tiffany & Co.’s signature colour.

Didn’t Get Enough Of Baybeats? Here Are 3 Upcoming Local Gigs You Should Look Out For
Baybeats might be over, but your support for the local music scene doesn’t have to be. If you can’t get enough of the acts you heard last week, you’ll be glad to know that some of them have performances lined up in the next few weeks (or days!).
Some of these are solo showcases, while others are part of bigger collaborations that feature other big names. Keeping track of local gigs can be tough, so we’ve gone ahead and found three that you might want to add to your calendar:
Rock For Noah’s Ark
[caption id="attachment_36742" align="aligncenter" width="2000"]
(Image Credit: Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter)[/caption]
Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter is home to 700 dogs, 300 cats and 9 horses (among other animals), and according to their Facebook page it costs $35,000 a month to operate. As you might expect they need a little help to keep running, and thankfully some local musicians are holding a gig this Saturday to raise funds for them.
This group of altruistic musicians include Baybeats performers Disco Hue and Pleasantry, along with other big names like Inch Chua and M1LDL1FE (who you might know better as Take Two). Throw in Deon, Dru Chen and Sherene’s Closet into the already-stellar lineup, and you have a varied mix of genres that’s sure to make for a good weekend outing.
Good music for a good cause at a good price? Yeah, we definitely know where we’ll be on Saturday.
Venue: Barber Shop By Timbre
Date & Time: August 25th, 3pm
Admission: $25
Kin Leonn – “Commune” Live
[caption id="attachment_36741" align="alignnone" width="1920"]
(Image Credit: The Projector)[/caption]
In our previous Baybeats article we listed festival opener Kin Leonn as one of the acts you should totally check out, and if you can’t get enough of his haunting ambient tunes you’ll be glad to know that he’ll be playing a solo show at the end of the month.
Taking place at The Projector, the multi-instrumentalist is set to premiere and perform the entirety of his upcoming album Commune in a 75-minute set that’s pretty much guaranteed to captivate. Billed as his “most complete set to date”, you can also expect him to perform older songs from his time with electronic act Midst.
$25 might seem a little steep to watch a single musician, but considering that live performances from KITCHEN.LABEL artists are notoriously hard to come by, it’s best to take up the opportunity when it presents itself.
Venue: The Projector
Date & Time: August 31st, 8:30pm
Admission: $25
Keisey EP Release Show
[caption id="attachment_36740" align="aligncenter" width="1800"]
(Image Credit: Keisey)[/caption]
If you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms from Paramore’s recent gig, then Keisey’s upcoming EP launch might be worth checking out. After making their rounds in the local gig circuit for the past few months, the pop punk quintet are finally releasing their debut EP Get A Look At Your Life next month…and they’re bringing some friends to celebrate the occasion.
Among those friends are Garage Rock trio Knightingale, who played not one, but three sets at this year’s Baybeats. With a host of other alternative rock acts that include I, Devotion and Anna Judge April (who also happen to be Baybeats alumni), this is a lineup that’s sure to bring you back to the days of emo, teenage angst.
You can keep your band tee and studded belt in the closet, though — the dress code implores you to wear “anything but black”, which might inadvertently lead to the most colourful mosh pit ever. That alone would be the price of admission, we’d say.
Venue: SLED Productions x Decline
Date & Time: September 8th, 4pm
Admission: $10 At The Door

From Quiz Nights To Pop-Up Cinemas, Funzing Lets You Enjoy Unlimited Activities For $16/Mth
It’s no secret that going out in Singapore can be a rather expensive affair — a good meal at pretty much anywhere will cost you upwards of $10, and unless you’re willing to call it a night there you’ll can count on forking out at least another 20 on something else.
Then there’s the issue of actually finding something interesting to do. Sure, you could head down to Orchard Road again, but window shopping at Uniqlo kind of loses its lustre after doing it for the fifth time this month.
If these are some of the problems plaguing your social life, then the good folks at Funzing might have a solution with their Unlimited Pass.
Not Your Average Date Night
It almost sounds too good to be true, but for a mere $16 you’ll be entitled to a host of events that the “community marketplace” has curated.
[caption id="attachment_36551" align="aligncenter" width="1202"]
Image Credit: Funzing[/caption]
These events aren’t your typical weekend fare either — this month’s selection include Harry Potter and Rick and Morty quiz nights that’ll put your respective fandoms to the test, as well as pop up cinema screenings for critically acclaimed films like Lady Bird and I Am Not Your Negro.
The quiz nights will take place at Tree Lizard (Dempsey Road) and The Armoury (Beach Road) respectively, while the movies will be shown at the always-cozy Blu Jaz Cafe. At the very least, you can say that you spent your night somewhere new, which could be considered a victory in itself.
[caption id="attachment_36552" align="aligncenter" width="2048"]
Image Credit: Blu Jaz Cafe[/caption]
Considering that individual tickets for these events hover around around $8-$9 range, it makes sense to get the Unlimited Pass at its promotional price if more than one of these events are up your alley.
Demand is also surprisingly high (tickets for the classic Japanese animated film Princess Mononoke are already sold out), so head on over to Funzing’s website to secure your slot now.
