Happy New Year to all of our readers and subscribers! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and now ready to dive into a brand new year! For LEGO fans, 2019 is already starting out with lots of excitement due to the release of a large wave of brand new sets. As far as promotions and freebies this month, unfortunately LEGO no longer lists them in the LEGO Store Calendar ahead of time. Instead, we will have to wait and see when they appear, and pay close attention to the front page of the Online LEGO Shop. So let’s see what’s new! 🙂

➡ 2019 LEGO ARCHITECTURE SETS AVAILABLE: There are a couple of new LEGO Architecture sets; the #21044 LEGO Architecture Paris, and the #21043 LEGO Architecture San Francisco. You can find them both at the LEGO Architecture section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO BRICKHEADS SETS AVAILABLE: There are three new pretty interesting LEGO BrickHeadz characters; the #40348 LEGO BrickHeadz Birthday Clown, the #40349 LEGO BrickHeadz Valentine’s Puppy, and the #40354 LEGO BrickHeadz Dragon Dance Guy. You can find them at the LEGO BrickHeadz section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO CITY SETS AVAILABLE: A large selection of new LEGO City sets are available, including the much talked about #60216 LEGO City Downtown Fire Brigade with new light and sound bricks, and a water pump. Several of the smaller LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire sets also include these new pieces, and there is also a new ejecting parachute and a new water cannon! You can find all of them at the LEGO City section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO CLASSIC SETS AVAILABLE: LEGO is continuing to release sets with basic bricks in a rainbow of colors in the LEGO Classic line. Amongst the four new sets, my favorite is the #11003 LEGO Classic Bricks and Eyes. It includes some really fun suggestions for brick-built characters, and lots of different printed eye pieces. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Classic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO CREATOR 3-IN-1 SETS: We get three new LEGO Creator 3-in-1 sets, including the #31092 LEGO Creator Helicopter Adventure, the #31093 LEGO Creator Riverside Houseboat, and the #31094 LEGO Creator Race Plane. I think all three of them look great, and each of the sets come with instructions for two other alternate models. You can find them at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ #10264 LEGO CREATOR CORNER GARAGE: The latest in the LEGO Modular Buildings collection, the #10264 LEGO Creator Corner Garage is now available! You can learn more about this set at our previous discussion (see: 2019 LEGO Modular Corner Garage Coming!). It goes really well with the #10260 LEGO Creator Downtown Diner from last year. Find both at the LEGO Creator Expert section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO DISNEY SETS AVAILABLE: There are six new LEGO Disney sets, featuring favorite Disney characters like Aladdin, Jasmine, Cinderella, Ariel, and Rapunzel. The color selections are really nice this year with beautiful pastel hues. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Disney section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO FRIENDS SETS AVAILABLE: There is a large selection of new LEGO Friends sets as well. The #41369 LEGO Friends Mia’s House looks especially nice in my opinion. There is also a new collection of LEGO Friends Heart Boxes, each of them with a lovely (and colorful!) brick-built treasure/jewelry box, a mini-doll, and a selection of accessories. There is also one larger set with two Heart Boxes and two mini-dolls (see image below). I think they look great, and they may or may not have been inspired by the recently re-released Polly Pocket lockers. You can find them all at the LEGO Friends section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ #76127 LEGO CAPTAIN MARVEL AND THE SKULL ATTACK: Team up with Captain Marvel and Nick Fury to save Goose the cat from Talos! This action-packed construction toy features Nick Fury’s Quinjet with an opening dual minifigure cockpit, adjustable wings, 2 flick-missile shooters that each shoot 4 missiles at once, and an opening rear compartment with space for Goose. Includes 3 new-for-January-2019 minifigures: Captain Marvel, Nick Fury and Talos, plus a Goose the cat LEGO figure. Quinjet measures over 4” (11cm) high, 11” (30cm) long and 8” (21cm) wide. Find it at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO MINECRAFT SETS AVAILABLE: Five new LEGO Minecraft sets are now available, including three sets with large, brick-built versions of some of the main characters; Steve with Parrot, Alex with Chicken, and Skeleton with Magma Cube. You can find them at the LEGO Minecraft section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO NINJAGO LEGACY SETS AVAILABLE: The LEGO Ninjago collection includes a large selection of new sets. They are re-imagined and updated versions of some of the earliest LEGO Ninjago sets, including the Spinjitzu spinners, Nya’s Samurai Mech, Lloyd’s Golden Dragon, Kai’s Blade Cycle, Zane’s Snowmobile, Jay’s Storm Fighter, Cole’s Earth Driller, the massive Ultra Dragon, and the Spinjitzu Monastery. You can find them all at the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO SPIDER-MAN SETS AVAILABLE: We already talked about these sets as they were released a bit early (see: 2019 LEGO Spider-Man Sets Review), but I will mention them again here for the sake of completeness. There are five new sets in total, with two of them under the LEGO Juniors (now called LEGO 4+) label for younger kids. The #76114 LEGO Spider-Man’s Spider Crawler is an especially unique set. You can find them at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO STAR WARS SETS AVAILABLE: A large selection of new LEGO Star Wars sets are available, including several LEGO Star Wars Microfighters, Battle Packs, and midi-scale vehicles. You can find them all at the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO OVERWATCH SETS AVAILABLE: Those who are patient could pre-order the LEGO Overwatch sets ahead of time, and now they are available with a wider release. The collection includes some great sets like the #75974 LEGO Overwatch Bastion, the #75970 LEGO Overwatch Tracer vs. Widowmaker, and the #75973 LEGO Overwatch D.Va & Reinhardt. The minifigs are especially nice in this series! Check out all six sets at the LEGO Overwatch section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO SPEED CHAMPIONS SETS AVAILABLE: There are five new LEGO Speed Champions sets. LEGO Speed Champions have come far from the original sets due the introduction of a number of small curved and angled pieces. The designs now look more sophisticated with less reliance on stickers to shape the cars. The #75894 LEGO Speed Champions MINI Cooper S Rally and 2018 MINI John Cooper Works Buggy (see below) is a particularly nice set, and check out those sweet looking printed tires in the #75891 LEGO Speed Champions Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Race Car! You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Speed Champions section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2019 LEGO TECHNIC SETS AVAILABLE: Several new LEGO Technic sets are also available, including the #42093 LEGO Technic Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, the #42096 LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR, and the #42095 LEGO Technic Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ THE LEGO MOVIE 2 SETS AVAILABLE: All of the new sets for The LEGO Movie 2 are now available! As expected, the highly popular #70841 LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad is already on backorder (you can still order it but there will be some delay in delivery), and there are many other fantastic sets in the collection. You can find them all at The LEGO Movie 2 section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO MOVIE TICKETS: There is a really nice promotion for LEGO VIP members who purchase The LEGO Movie 2 sets! You will get two cinema tickets to The LEGO Movie 2 if you spend $60 or more on The LEGO Movie 2 sets. After your purchase, you have 21 days to go to VIPExclusiveOffer.com, upload your physical or digital receipt, and receive your movie tickets! Awesome!

➡ LEGO DOUBLE VIP POINTS: It has become the new standard that LEGO is offering only a couple of sets at a time with Double VIP Points. For this month, we get a new LEGO Friends and a new LEGO Technic set with Double VIP Points. You can find them at the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO SETS ON CLEARANCE SALE: While LEGO is promoting the new 2019 sets, they are also clearing out some old stock. Close to a hundred really nice sets are on sale, including LEGO BrickHeadz, LEGO City, LEGO Classic, LEGO Creator, LEGO Elves, LEGO Friends, LEGO Minecraft, LEGO Nexo Knights, LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Speed Champions, LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Technic, plus a whole bunch of accessories like keychains, watches, stationery, and more. You can find them all under the SALE tab at the Online LEGO Shop.

And that wraps up the first wave of new sets for 2019. As you can see, there is plenty to choose from for every taste and budget. As far as promotional items and freebies, I will keep an eye on them and let you know what they are and when they are available in future updates.

LEGO-xtra Sea Accessories coming soon!

by on December 31, 2018
in LEGO Exclusives

Earlier this year, we discussed the new LEGO-xtra sets (see: LEGO-xtra Playmats & Accessory Packs). As the name implies, these are small packs and accessories to boost your current collection. They mostly complement the LEGO City theme, although they also go well with LEGO Creator, LEGO Classic, and other LEGO themes. 🙂

You can read a full review of the sets at the above-mentioned link, but in summary, the collection includes three double-sided playmats (the #853840 LEGO-xtra Road Playmat, the #853841 LEGO-xtra Sea Playmat, and the #853842 LEGO-xtra Park Playmat), and five small polybags (the #40309 LEGO-xtra Food Accessories, the #40310 LEGO-xtra Botanical Accessories, the #40311 LEGO-xtra Traffic Lights pack, and the #40312 LEGO-xtra Streetlamps pack). The playmats come with two double-sided panels and some standard LEGO pieces for $7.99, and the polybags come with 25-50 pieces for $3.99. You can find them all at the LEGO-xtra section of the Online LEGO Shop.

It looks like LEGO is planning to continue the LEGO-xtra line next year with more sets. They already added one new polybag to the LEGO-xtra section of the Online LEGO Shop, which will be available on January 1st. LEGO sent us a sample of this new bag, so I can show it to our readers. The #40341 LEGO-xtra Sea Accessories pack comes with 24 pieces, including ¬a shark, a parrot (new style with blended colors), a light-blue fish, a seashell, two harpoons (each made of three pieces), a printed map, a lime-green surf board, a single peddle (I assume for peddle boarding?), a couple of stars (for starfish?), binoculars, a treasure chest with three gems, a dark-brown barrel, and an orange buoy.

While some of the pieces like the lime-green flippers and surf board may not be so useful in large quantities, there are some great pieces here as well. I’m, particularly happy about the dark-brown short bars and dark-brown lightsaber hilts (used for the harpoons). I believe this is the first time we get dark-brown lightsaber hilts. The dark-brown barrel, reddish-brown chest, the printed map, the gems, the seashell, and the stars are also useful items. Sharks are always great to have, so are parrots and fish. So, all in all this is a nice little accessory pack and a great addition to the previous ones. If you are looking for small accessories for cheap prices, or large quantities of particular accessories, the LEGO-xtra packs are definitely worth checking out. So far, my favorites are the #40309 LEGO-xtra Food Accessories and the #40310 LEGO-xtra Botanical Accessories, but the other ones are great as well. It just depends on what pieces you need. You can find them all at the LEGO-xtra section of the Online LEGO Shop.

When LEGO was still running a mail-order business pre-Internet era, they used to offer a large selection of service-packs, so LEGO fans could get the extra pieces they needed for their projects. Service-packs have been replaced by the Pick-A-Brick wall at official LEGO stores and the Pick-A-Brick and Bricks-And-Pieces online shops where LEGO fans can buy pieces in bulk, but it is still nice to get small packs with useful accessories for reasonable prices. So, next time you stop by at a LEGO store, or shop online, take a look at the LEGO-xtra selection. You may find a pack that you like.

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO-xtra playmats and accessory packs? Do you have any of them already? Or, are you planning to get them? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
