by Thita (admin) on August 22, 2020

Great news for LEGO fans in North America who have been waiting for the delayed summer sets! As we discussed previously, these sets have been available in Europe for a couple of months now, and now we can get them too! Even better news is that most of these sets will be available on Monday, August 24th, which means that you can avoid the the mad rush and crashes at the Online LEGO Shop that happens at the beginning of every month. Below, I wrote up a summary of what’s new.

➡ LEGO ARCHITECTURE SUMMER SET: The #21054 LEGO Architecture White House is available on August 24th. This is the only new LEGO Architecture set. Visit the LEGO Architecture section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO ART MOSAICS SUMMER SETS: The LEGO Marvel Studios Iron Man – 3-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit has been available for some time now, but on August 24th you can purchase the three other mosaics as well. This includes the #31197 LEGO Art Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe – 4-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit, the #31198 LEGO Art The Beatles – 4-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit, and the #31200 LEGO Art Star Wars The Sith – 3-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit. They are all available at the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO BATMAN SUMMER SETS: The three new LEGO Batman sets are still showing up as coming soon with no specific release date. I expect that these will be available in September. You can check them out at the LEGO Batman section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO CITY SUMMER SETS: There are several new LEGO City summer sets that are available on August 24th. This includes all the new LEGO City Ocean Exploration sets (including the huge #60266 LEGO City Ocean Exploration Ship!), and several LEGO City Airport sets. Another interesting new set is the #60260 LEGO City Air Race with a couple of small ripcord-operated helicopters that can actually fly, and a small plane. The much talked about #60271 LEGO City Main Square that’s based on the LEGO City Adventures TV show and the #60268 LEGO City Advent Calendar won’t be available until September 1st. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO City section of the Online LEGO Shop.

All three sets come with three alternate builds, and are highly praised by those who already had the chance to build them. They are available at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO DISNEY SUMMER SETS: From the three new LEGO Disney sets, the #43180 LEGO Disney Belle’s Castle Winter Celebration is available on August 24th.

This includes the #41398 LEGO Friends Stephanie’s House (this is a 4+ set with printed pieces only – no sticker), the #41427 LEGO Friends Emma’s Fashion Shop, the #41428 LEGO Friends Beach House, the very cool #41429 LEGO Friends Heartlake City Airplane, the huge #41430 LEGO Friends Summer Fun Water Park, the #41433 LEGO Friends Party Boat, and several nice smaller sets as well. The #41420 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar will be available on September 1st. You can find them all at the LEGO Friends section of the Online LEGO Shop.

You can find the full selection at the LEGO Harry Potter section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #70435 LEGO Hidden Side Newbury Abandoned Prison, the #70436 LEGO Hidden Side Phantom Fire Truck 3000, and the #70437 LEGO Hidden Side Mystery Castle are particularly interesting. You can take a look at the LEGO Hidden Side section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO IRON MAN SUMMER SET: There is only one new LEGO Iron Man set available on August 24th, but it’s a pretty good one. The #76167 LEGO Iron Man Armory includes two Iron Man figures, a couple of badguys, a sweet hotrod, and a section of the armory that could be expanded for more Iron Man Suits. Available at the LEGO Marvel section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO MONKIE KID SUMMER SETS: All three of the new LEGO Monkie Kid sets are available on August 24th. This includes the #80014 LEGO Monkie Kid Sandy’s Speedboat, the #80015 LEGO Monkie Kid’s Cloud Roadster, and the large #80016 LEGO Monkie Kid Flaming Foundry. Available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO NINJAGO SUMMER SETS: All the new LEGO Ninjago sets are still listed as coming soon with no specific release date. I don’t know what to think, as they had this status for a long time, but I hope they will be available in September. You can check them out at the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO STAR WARS SUMMER SETS: All the new LEGO Star Wars sets are available on August 24th, the only exception being the #75279 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, which will be available on September 1st. This is a quite large list, so I won’t list them all, but some of the highlights include the #75284 LEGO Star Wars Knights of Ren Transport Ship, the #75288 LEGO Star Wars AT-AT, the #75291 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Final Duel, the #75293 LEGO Star Wars Resistance I-TS Transport, and the #75294 LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel that supposed to be a Comic-Con exclusive. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO TECHNIC SUMMER SETS: The #42107 LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale V4 R is still listed as coming soon with no specific release date, but the #42112 LEGO Technic Concrete Mixer Truck and the #42114 LEGO Technic Volvo Articulated Hauler are available on August 24th at the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO TROLLS SUMMER SET: There is a new, colorful, and quite large LEGO Trolls set available on August 24th; the #41258 LEGO Trolls Vibe City Concert. LEGO Trolls sets seem quite psychedelic, but they are full of interesting parts. Check them out at the LEGO Trolls section of the Online LEGO Shop.

And that should cover everything. Again, if you want to avoid the rush that will happen at the beginning of September and the high risk of many sets going on backorder or out of stock, it’s best to place an order for these new sets ahead of time. What do you think? Are you getting any of the new sets? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!

News & Rumors on Upcoming LEGO Sets

by Thita (admin) on August 21, 2020

in Other News & Updates

If you’re active on LEGO forums and social media, you have probably seen some exciting news and rumors circulating about upcoming LEGO sets. Some of these sets should be officially announced soon, while others are still well in the future, so we need to take the information with a grain of salt. Discussing new sets is always exciting, so at least we can do that much while we wait for official info.

We already talked about the upcoming #75978 LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set yesterday, but just to recap, this is a massive, 5,544-piece recreations of some of the well-known shops from Diagon Alley, including Ollivanders Wand Shop, Flourish & Blotts, Scribbulus Writing Implements, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor, The Daily Prophet, and Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. In addition, the set also includes fourteen minifigs. This set is scheduled for September, so the press-release should be available at any day now.

Another big set that is rumored to come sometime next year is the #71741 LEGO Ninjago City Gardens with 5,685 parts and over twenty minifigs, and should tie in nicely with the previously released #70620 LEGO Ninjago City with 4,867 pieces from 2017, and the #70657 LEGO Ninjago City Docks with 3,553 pieces from 2018. Rumor has it that it has some pagoda-like buildings and towers, as well as a bridge, and gardens. It is likely based on – or at least inspired by – the screenshot above from the LEGO Ninjago Movie.

There are also rumors of a humongous #10276 LEGO Creator Expert Colosseum with over 9,000 pieces. That sound pretty incredible, as it would be the largest LEGO set ever, overtaking even the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon with #7,541 pieces. I’m not sure if I believe this rumor, as the Colosseum doesn’t seem to be a particularly interesting subject for the average LEGO fan or even collector. We shall see…

Those of us who are waiting for the next LEGO Winter Village set, rumor has it that it’s named #10275 LEGO Elf Clubhouse, and might even have a moulded reindeer. We should be hearing about this set soon, as the holiday season is just around the corner. If you’re missing some of the previously released LEGO Creator Winter Village sets, the #10263 LEGO Winter Village Fire Station from 2018, and the #10267 LEGO Winter Village Gingerbread House from 2019 are still available at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, remember that there are several LEGO Ideas projects that have been approved to become official LEGO sets, so they should be coming sometime within the next year or so. This includes the Seinfeld 30th Anniversary set, the Winnie the Pooh set, the Home Alone McCallister’s House, 123 Sesame Street, the Medieval Blacksmith, and the LEGO Typewriter, For currently available sets originally designed by LEGO fans, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Another rumored set is the #10274 LEGO Creator Expert Ecto-1. You might remember that LEGO released the #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 in 2014 and the #75828 LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto 1 & 2 in 2016. Both of them were minifig-scale sets. The new set on the other hand, is rumored to be like the #10262 LEGO Creator Expert Aston Martin and other large LEGO Creator Expert vehicles.

From the above list, I’m most excited about Ninjago City Gardens. Ninjago City, and Ninjago City Docks are two of my favorite sets, and Ninjago City Gardens seems to be at least as awesome, if not better. What about you? Which set are you looking forward to the most? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
