It looks like LEGO decided that June is all about cars! In the June LEGO Store Calendar they feature the recently released #10271 LEGO Creator Fiat 500, the #76895 LEGO Speed Champions Ferrari F8 Tributo, and the #42111 LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger. Even the freebie set this month is a super nice Hot Rod! Details all what’s new this month are listed below.
➡ FREE LEGO HOT ROD: The #40409 LEGO Creator Hot Rod is free with purchases of $85 or more until June 21st. This is a fantastic minifig-scale replica of the #5541 LEGO Model Team Blue Fury from 1995. This is a fantastic little set, especially for a freebie! This offer is valid on all purchases at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO TECHNIC LAMBORGHINI NOW AVAILABLE: The #42115 LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 is now available. We talked about this set previously (see press-release here: LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 Coming!). Prices are as follows: US $379.99 – CA $489.99 – DE €379.99 – UK £349.99 – FR €379.99 – DK 2899DKK (Euro pricing varies by country). To purchase this set, visit the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO CREATOR HAUNTED HOUSE AVAILABLE: The #10273 LEGO Creator Expert Haunted House is now available for everyone, not just LEGO VIP members. This set combines the spookiness of a haunted house with an awesome fairground ride. Find it at the LEGO Creator Expect section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ NEW LEGO MINECRAFT SETS AVAILABLE: Two new LEGO Minecraft sets have been added to the collection; the #21161 LEGO Minecraft Crafting Box 3.0, and the #21163 LEGO Minecraft the Redstone Battle. You can find them both at the LEGO Minecraft section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ LEGO HARRY POTTER SETS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE U.S.: The new LEGO Harry Potter sets are available in select countries. In the U.S., the sets will be available on August 1st. You can check them out at the LEGO Harry Potter section of the Online LEGO Shop.
➡ OTHER LEGO SUMMER SETS: There are a number of LEGO sets coming this summer and already listed at the under the coming soon section. This includes LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Friends, LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO Hidden Side, and more, however no date has been given as far as their released. My guess is that they may be delayed due to the COVID-19 situation. However, you can already add them to your wanted list, so when they become available, you can purchase them at the Online LEGO Shop.
Also, as we discussed previously, (see links at the end of this post), many LEGO stores are now open or at least have curbside pickup available. Selection is limited and many restrictions have been put in place to keep visitors safe. If you have a LEGO store near you, I would suggest to give them a call to find out what are their current policies.
What do you think? What building projects are you working on this summer? Do you have any recently released favorite sets? Are you planning to get anything this month? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

“Drive what you love”. Well, if Lego ever offers a Speed Champions Subaru I’d probably get that. 😀
Oh, finally! I have been waiting for the summer sets. Oh, wait.. many of them still say coming soon? !
In the USA, certain themes (like HP) have a delayed summer release, which is often in August. This has nothing to do with Covid-19. However, there could potentially be some sets that would have released today, if the Mexican Lego facility was in operation*. That is also the cause of so many USA sets being out-of-stock or on back-order status.
*I’m not sure if the facility is completely shutdown or still at some level of operation.
I would love to get the Haunted House but where to keep it? I built the Ship in a bottle set but still need a good place to display it. It’s more a display piece. The Haunted House is something we could play with some I’d need more room.
The Lamborghini looks awesome. Would be cool to add to a car collection.
Man, that hot rod is sweet! But everything I want is out of stock. 🙁
I like it too! And I didn’t even know it was based on an old set. Very cool. I like 6-wide vehicles more than the recent 8-wide ones. They fit Lego streets better.
I kind of want to get the Haunted House, but there are some things I don’t like about it. First off, the color is not very appealing. It’s not spooky enough or nice enough. And the roof is too plain.
I think it’s trying to be too many things at once. Haunted house, fairground ride, reference ot 1990s sets, bad guy HQ, motorized set. And it ends up not being perfect at any of them. It’s too confusing. I wish they just made a regular haunted house. And I’m sad that we no longer get colorful fairground rides. This doesn’t fit with the other fairground sets at all.
Hmmm, I bought 31107 Space Rover Explorer after hesitating for a bit, but gave in, since it was Space… I guess I still think the older 31066 Space Shuttle Explorer was a better set, though… (But maybe 31107 will grow on me…)
That’ll probably be the last larger set I’m buying this year before 76151 Venomosaurus Ambush. (Brothers Brick said that it’d already be available in the UK, but I haven’t seen it anywhere in Sweden yet, so it might be a bit hasty information…)
Hmm, now I found 76151 Venomosaurus Ambush at the Swedish Lego.com site, but the price was 999 SEK (Roughly 109 US$), way over my estimated budget, I’d have hoped for something like 800 SEK (90 US$), I’ll wait and see if I’ll find it on sale or through some other distributor.
Did any of you think about turning the Haunted House into a church? I think if you swap out the colors, remove the tall tower and spooky elements, it would look decent as a modular church.
I think that could work. But I would make the roof more interesting. It’s so prominent, yet so plain. And the olive green gotta go. You might just want to download the instructions and build the set that way. It could end up being cheaper than buying the set and then having to swap out all the olive bricks.
Hmm, yeah, at least it already has the organ.
Apparently customizer EclipseGrafx still has their Stained Glass parts up for purchase (with Yellow minifigs, the Light Flesh/ Nougat version has been sold out), although they’re not marketed as heavily for the moment..

I believe it was custom printing made on this Lego part, so you’d need to get four separate door frames before implementing them in your build.

Yeah, I have some of those stained glass windows, and they are beautiful! It might be worth converting the set into a church just to showcase those! 😀
EclipseGrafX apparently overhauled the design on their entire site. The new links are here. (It appears as if both the skin tones are available now, however…)

I don’t think the delayed release of the city, friends and other sets in the U.S. has anything to do with the virus. The U.S. always gets the summer sets later.
It seems like the most talked about set is the Haunted House. I just don’t know. The more I look at it, the less it appeals to me. And there are so many other sets I actually want. Now, the question is how to meet the minimum to get that sweet hotrod! 😀
Hmm, the Haunted House seems to have gotten pretty mixed reviews, as far as I’m aware. It appears as if the fanbase hasn’t been completely convinced…
