To celebrate the holidays, and to get us excited for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part coming in February next year, LEGO released a fun little film titled Emmet’s Holiday Party: A LEGO Movie Short. There’s nothing like the holidays in Apocalypseburg, especially when Emmet is the one organizing the events. Watch Emmet’s Holiday Party: A LEGO Movie Short below with all the fun details and surprises! 🙂
The much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new action-packed adventure to save their beloved city. It’s been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are now facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than it can be rebuilt. The battle to defeat the invaders and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are. But for now, they are all celebrating the holidays!
That was fun, isn’t it? I can’t wait for the movie! I expect it to be just as good as the first film with awesome characters, lots of LEGO humor, and gorgeous visuals. Also, The LEGO Movie 2 sets are starting to trickle in. You can find all the January sets listed at The LEGO Movie 2 section of the Online LEGO Shop, and two of them are already available for purchase (the others will be available on January 1st).
Besides the standard sets for The LEGO Movie 2 that will be available in January, the very large #70840 LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set was also revealed. It is not clear when this massive, 3,178 piece set is going to be available, but you can see some of the details in the following video-preview by JANGBRiCKS.

Some of the 2019 LEGO sets that are already available are for Spider-Man fans. Below, we will take a look at all five of the new LEGO Spider-Man sets, both in the LEGO 4+ line for younger LEGO fans, and in the regular LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line for older kids and adult collectors. (LEGO 4+ sets were previously branded as LEGO Juniors and are compatible with all LEGO construction toys but are easier to put together by younger builders.) So, let’s see what Spider-Man is up to in the first wave of 2019 LEGO sets! 🙂
➡ #76113 LEGO SPIDER-MAN CAR CHASE: This is the smallest of the new LEGO Spider-Man sets, and although it is released under the LEGO 4+ line, I think many older LEGO fans will be interested as well. The buggy looks sweet, even though it is an easy-built vehicle for the youngest LEGO fans, with a one-piece chassis and just a few additional parts. The graphics on the hood are printed. The two minifigs also look great. I especially like Green Goblin’s face. Here is the official description of the set: Give your child an exciting LEGO Marvel Spider-Man role-play experience as you help them pursue the bank-robbing Green Goblin. This LEGO 4+ set is specially designed to be fun and easy for preschoolers and youngsters. The Spider-Man car toy building set features a minifigure cockpit and spider web string with a spider web that attaches to the Green Goblin’s glider, plus a special Starter Brick base that allows even first-time builders to enjoy constructing buildings, vehicles and more, all on their own. The included simple guide to build and play will also help your budding superhero understand the purpose of the building instructions and grow their imagination and confidence to try new things in a familiar LEGO Marvel world. Includes 2 new-for-January-2019 minifigures: Spider-Man and Green Goblin. 52 pieces. Price: $9.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #76134 LEGO SPIDER-MAN DOC OCK DIAMOND HEIST: This is the second set under the LEGO 4+ line, with easy building steps but substantially more content. You get a chubby little plane and boat (both with one-piece bases), a crane, and three minifigs. This set looks more toy-ish than the first one, but it still has good parts, and the included Doc Ock minifig is unique to this set. All decorated parts are printed. Here is the official description: Let your young superhero play out an awesome LEGO Marvel Spider-Man experience chasing Doc Ock’s getaway speedboat with Spider-Man’s flyer. This LEGO 4+ creative building toy, which is specially designed to be fun and easy to build for preschoolers and youngsters, features a special Starter Brick base that lets even first-time builders experience the pride of constructing buildings, vehicles and more, all on their own. The included simple guide to build and play will also help your youngster understand the purpose of the building instructions and grow their imagination and confidence to try new things in a familiar LEGO Marvel world. They’ll love building the dock with a functioning crane to lift a container, Doc Ock’s speedboat with mechanical arms, and the Spider-Man flyer with a disc shooter and spider web that can attach to the speedboat or container. Includes 3 minifigures: Spider-Man, Doc Ock and a dock worker. 150 pieces. Price: $29.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #76113 LEGO SPIDER-MAN BIKE RESCUE: This set is recommended for kids 6+ with standard pieces and building techniques. The main feature is a bike that’s nicely built with good shaping, but it is way oversized for Spider-Man. A power generator is also included with an exploding feature. I think older LEGO fans will appreciate the minifigs (Carnage is especially cool), and all the interesting little pieces and accessories. In the video-review below, you can see the set in more detail, and here is the official description: Speed through New York City streets and help Spider-Man and Miles Morales thwart evil Carnage’s mission to blow up the power generator. This action-packed construction toy features a Spider-Man bike with a tech spider shooter and web gun (non-shooting), and a buildable power generator with an explode function. Includes 3 new-for-December-2018 minifigures: Spider-Man, Miles Morales and Carnage. 235 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #76114 LEGO SPIDER-MAN’S SPIDER CRAWLER: This set is more fun than what meets the eye! The construction of the crawler and its movement is one of the most clever and inspired designs I have seen in an official LEGO set. Make sure you check out the video-review below to see it in action. It’s worth buying this set just for the crawler, but you also get a gorgeous version of Sandman, and some other really well-designed minifigs and lots of accessories. Here is the official description: Team up with Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 to pursue diamond thieves Sandman and Vulture. The Crawler features a lifelike spider-crawling function, 2 stud-shooters and a shooter that fires tech spider or web elements. Includes 4 new-for-December-2018 minifigures: Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, Vulture and Sandman. Spider-Man’s Spider Crawler buildable mech toy measures over 3” (8cm) high, 8” (22cm) long and 5” (15cm) wide. 418 pieces. Price: $39.99 – BUY HERE
➡ #76115 LEGO SPIDER MECH VS. VENOM: This set basically comes with two mechs. I’m not a big fan of Spider Mech. It seems too skinny, unfinished, and awkward. However, the Venom Mech looks very impressive, and a great example of a solid mech with good shaping and articulation. You can see both of them in action in the video-review below, and here is the official description of the set: Join Spider-Man and Ghost Spider on a mission to release Aunt May from Venom’s clutches. Match the posable Spider Mech, featuring an opening minifigure cockpit, tech spider/web shooter and gripping claw, against the huge posable Venom Mech, with minifigure-grabbing claws. Includes 4 minifigures: Spider-Man, Ghost Spider, Venom and Aunt May. Spider Mech measures over 5” (14 cm) high, 4” (11cm) long and 1” (4cm) wide. Venom Mech measures over 8” (22cm) high, 7” (18cm) long and 3” (8cm) wide. 604 pieces. Price: $49.99 – BUY HERE
And that wraps up the new LEGO Spider-Man sets. As you can see, none of them are too big or expensive, the prices are reasonable for what you get, and there is a good variety of minifigs and vehicles. For kids, all of the sets have good play-value, and adult collectors will appreciate some of the unique minifigs. My absolute favorite is the #76114 LEGO Spider-Man’s Spider Crawler. The mechanism is genius, and the minifigs are very nice, especially Sandman. You can find all five sets at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.
