September 2019 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions

by Thita (admin) on September 2, 2019

There are several new LEGO sets and promotions for the month of September, and we will take a look at them below. Also, as we discussed a few days ago (see: Online LEGO Shop & LEGO.com Changes), LEGO’s website went through some fairly major changes, so if you get lost, read through that discussion, or let us know what you are trying to find in the comment section at the end of this post and myself or other readers should be able to help you out. And now, let’s dive into what September brings us!

➡ FREE LEGO BRICKHEADZ BUMBLE BEE & YEAR OF THE PIG: There are a couple of promotions that started towards the end of last month and will last through the first week of September. You will get a free #40270 LEGO BrickHeadz Bumble Bee with purchases of $65 or more, and you can also get a free #40186 LEGO Year of the Pig if you purchase the #80103 LEGO Dragon Boat Race. Both offers are valid until September 8th at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO HIDDEN SIDE SET: During the first month of September (2-15), you will get a free #40336 LEGO Hidden Side Newbury Juice Bar with purchases of $50 or more. This is a fantastic addition to the new LEGO Hidden Side collection, or for just getting some interesting parts. This offer is valid at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO HIDDEN SIDE SETS: As you can see from the LEGO Store Calendar for September, LEGO is heavily promoting the new LEGO Hidden Side sets. We talked about the sets previously (see: LEGO Hidden Side Sets & App Overview), but in brief, they mix physical and virtual play (via the LEGO Hidden Side app). The play-features are interesting, and the parts selection is excellent! You can find them all at the LEGO Hidden Side section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO STORAGE BUCKET: Towards the end of September (23-28) you can get a free #5005630 LEGO Storage Bucket with purchases of $100 or more. The bucket features durable 600D RPET polyester fabric made from recycled beverage bottles, an open main compartment with a plastic ring sewn into the top seam for easy access and an easy-clean clear EVA plastic base. (According to LEGO, manufacturing this bag with recycled instead of virgin polyester reduces energy use by 50%, water use by 20%, and air pollution by 60%. Each bucket saves approximately 5 plastic bottles from landfill.) The bucket also has 4 side pockets with LEGO knob print design and sturdy webbing handles for easy transport. The bucket collapses flat when empty for easy packing or storage. Measures over 9” (25cm) high, 10” (27cm) wide and 9” (25cm) deep. This offer is valid at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO DISNEY TRAIN & STATION AVAILABLE: The #71044 LEGO Disney Train and Station set is now available for everyone, not just LEGO VIP members. We reviewed this set in detail here: LEGO Disney Train & Station Review. The set features an accurate replica of the Disney train and station, exclusive minifigures, and Powered Up components to run the train via the LEGO Powered Up app. It is available at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO IDEAS CENTRAL PERK SET AVAILABLE: This is a brand new, just-released set! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of FRIENDS, the legendary American TV sitcom, with this highly collectible #21319 LEGO Ideas Central Perk set! This wonderful LEGO recreation of the café TV studio set is packed with authentic details, making it a must-have Friends memorabilia item for fans. The iconic seating area with a couch, armchair, and 2 chairs for the friends is removable for easy play. And, check out the stage where Phoebe performed her songs on guitar (and where Ross once played his keyboard and everyone except Phoebe thought he was terrible). The 7 new-for-September-2019 LEGO toy minifigures of Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey, Phoebe, and Central Perk’s long-suffering manager Gunther each come with accessories to role-play famously hilarious scenes. An ideal FRIENDS-themed gift for your own friends and family who love the TV show, this hot toy is great for play and will grab attention when displayed in any room. Available at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO ADVENT CALENDARS AVAILABLE: Three of the 2019 LEGO Advent Calendars are now available; the #41382 LEGO Friends Advent Calendar, the #60235 LEGO City Advent Calendar, and the #75964 LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar. As of this writing, the #75245 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar was not yet available, but it should be listed soon. The advent calendars are a great way to count down to Christmas, or just get them for the interesting and unusual parts and colors. They are available at the Seasonal section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO COLLECTIBLE MINIFIGURES SERIES 19: This highly praised series of Collectible Minifigures is now available! It includes the following 16 characters: Dog Sitter, Video Game Champ, Shower Guy, Rugby Player, Bear Costume Guy, Pizza Costume Guy, Galactic Bounty Hunter, Monkey King, Programmer, Gardener, Mountain Biker, Fire Fighter, Fright Knight, Jungle Explorer, Mummy Queen, and Fox Costume Girl! I would suggest looking for these at local stores as that way you can search for the minifigure you want, or you can also order random ones at the LEGO Minifigures section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO BRICKHEADZ HALLOWEEN GHOST AVAILABLE: Also LEGO no longer releases large numbers of BrickHeadz sets like they have done in previous years, they still offer a few special characters from time to time. The latest addition is the #40351 LEGO BrickHeadz Halloween Ghost with a cute brick-built ghost figure with transparent pieces at its base to create a floating effect. The spooky Halloween scene the ghost stands on features a buildable tombstone, a jack-o’-lantern, plus a bat and a spider. You can find the set at the LEGO BrickHeadz section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Besides the above-mentioned new sets, remember that LEGO released a huge number of new sets last month. You can take a look at the August 2019 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions article for a full list, and here are some of the highlights: the highly detailed #10269 LEGO Creator Expert Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, the beautiful #21318 LEGO Ideas Treehouse, the #75936 LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage with a giant dino, the #75253 LEGO Star Wars Droid Commander robotics set, the #10265 LEGO Creator Ford Mustang, the #75810 LEGO Stranger Things Upside Down, and much more. You can find them all at the New tab of the Online LEGO Shop. Also, check the Sale section of the Online LEGO Shop. I found some really good sets on clearance there recently.

LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar

by Thita (admin) on August 31, 2019

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

As we discussed at the beginning of the month, LEGO released four LEGO Jurassic World sets. They are based on the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar animated series. Set in 2012, three years before the events of the Jurassic World movie, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar picks up where the story left off from LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit that aired previously. Below, you will find information about the new TV series, the first trailer, and more.

Universal Brand Development (Universal), the LEGO Group, and Nickelodeon have announced the all-new, animated mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, will debut Saturday, Sept. 14, at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S. The 13-episode CG-animated mini-series, taking place before the events of 2015’s blockbuster Jurassic World film, will continue to premiere Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Set in 2012, newly hired animal behaviorist, Owen Grady, and Assistant Manager of Park Operations, Claire Dearing, team up on Isla Nublar to deal with everything the Jurassic World park throws their way, including runaway dinosaurs, ongoing construction to expand the park, throngs of tourists, unpredictable tropical weather and an impulsive boss! In LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, there’s also a mysterious saboteur with surprising ties to the park’s past who is on a quest to find a legendary treasure and destroy Jurassic World forever. What could possibly go wrong? Well… everything.

A prequel to the mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit Part 1 and Part 2, will be available on the Nick App and VOD beginning Sunday, Aug. 25. In The Secret Exhibit, Simon Masrani has an idea for a new attraction that is guaranteed to keep Jurassic World at the forefront of theme park entertainment, but in order for it to succeed, he needs his right-hand can-do problem solver, Claire Dearing, and newcomer Owen Grady, to get a trio of dinosaurs across the park to the new, super-secret exhibit. Unfortunately, delivering the dinosaurs to the new attraction is not as easy as they thought! Beginning, Sunday Aug. 25, a sneak peek episode, Mission Critical, became available for fans to watch on the Nick App, Nick On Demand and Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel (or watch below).

“The box office and retail success of 2018 proved Jurassic World is the definitive dinosaur brand”, said Vince Klaseus, president of Universal Brand Development. “This year we’re focused on continuing to expand the Jurassic World story through always-on content and new experiences for fans of all ages. Our partnership with the LEGO Group allows us to do just that and more.”

Building on the success of the 2018 LEGO Jurassic World offering, the LEGO Group globally launched four building sets that take the storytelling and role play opportunity beyond the blockbuster film year, giving fans the chance to bring new adventures, characters and dinosaurs home for even more play.

“Jurassic World is one of those properties that just works so well in LEGO form,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing & entertainment for LEGO Group. “The theme and stories appeal to kids and adults at the same time, and with this content, we offer a fun and unique twist by adding LEGO creativity and humor to an evergreen property. We’re thrilled to expand our successful partnership with Universal to introduce more original LEGO Jurassic World stories that will inspire imaginations and continued play.”

The four building sets based on LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar include the #75934 LEGO Jurassic World Dilophosaurus on the Loose the #75935 LEGO Jurassic World Baryonyx Face-Off: Treasure Hunt, the #75937 LEGO Jurassic World Triceratops Rampage, and the #75938 LEGO Jurassic World T.
