Last month, LEGO announced a brand new 2020 LEGO Speed Champions set with the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO & Urus ST-X (76899) and there are now official images of it on their servers. Again we get to see the new 8 wide style of these cars that some fans may or may not be into. Since the official images are now on the servers, the release of them could be very soon.

For those who have younger children, here’s a sale that you may be interested in. The LEGO DUPLO World Animals (10907) is currently on sale for $60.94 which is 39% off the regular price of $99.99. It’s hard to justify purchasing at the original price due to the big animal molds but this sale makes it a bit better. You do get a lot of animals in this set including an adult and baby giraffe, adult and baby lion, adult and baby panda, adult and baby deer, adult and baby whale, penguin, toucan, fish, rabbit, and a squirrel.
Mark your calendars because Barnes & Noble will be having a LEGO building event for Frozen 2 later this month. On November 23 at 2pm local time, kids ages 8-12 will be able to build a mini Arendelle Castle. Signups are required so visit your nearest store to register and I assume spots are limited. Thanks to Joe Meno for the image of the castle.
It’s been a couple of decades since LEGO sold wooden toys but in a surprise announcement earlier this month, LEGO is now going back to its roots by releasing the LEGO Originals Wooden Minifigure (853967). It retails for $119.99 and the figure is made out of oak and also includes plastic hands.
Earlier today, the 2020 Toy of the Year finalists were announced and as usual, LEGO was nominated in several categories. The nominees and categories are less than previous years so there’s a lesser chance that LEGO doesn’t win anything next year but that’s where your help comes in. You can now vote for your favorite nominees and the winners will be announced ahead of the 2020 New York Toy Fair in February. When you vote, you’ll be entered into a raffle win all the toys in a particular category so there is an incentive to submit your votes.

Yesterday I reported on some of the promotions for LEGO Black Friday 2019 but I now have news on the Early Black Friday promos as well. I’ve been told there will be Double VIP Points, a red 2×4 brick that is brick built with purchases of $200 or more, and the Christmas Tree (40338). I’m not sure how big the 2×4 brick will be since this is the first time I’ve heard of it. These promos will run next weekend in stores and on [email protected]
I want to also clarify and apologize that the Batmobile will not be on sale early as I have previously reported. There was a mixup of information as there will be a number of promotions going the next few weeks. It will be available on November 29 along with the mini Batmobile.
