LEGO 2019 Nuremberg Toy Fair Press Release

LEGO has sent over a press release of what went on over at the 2019 Nuremberg Toy Fair which started a few days ago. You can check out some of the sets that were revealed there in our previous post. Although we don’t have images of the sets yet, we’ll be seeing them at the New York Toy Fair in a few weeks.

Building on a successful business year, the LEGO GmbH is marking the start of 2019 with a range of promising new products

Nuremberg, 29 January 2019. The LEGO GmbH closed 2018 with a growth in consumer sales in the German toy market according to latest data from the NPD Group Germany. The results were revealed on the eve of the 2019 International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, where the LEGO GmbH revealed several new products that bring together diverse ways of enjoying physical and digital play and encourage shared play experiences for families. The LEGO Movie Maker set, launched to mark the imminent release of THE LEGO MOVIE 2™, is a particular highlight and allows children to use the corresponding
app to make their own films by smartphone. LEGO Technic introduces CONTROL+ as a new smart device connected way of controlling the Technic products via app and new electronic components. In 2019, the LEGO DUPLO product line will be celebrating its 50th birthday and the LEGO Star Wars™ product line turns 20 this year.

LEGO Monthly Mini Build Events Rumored to be Ending in March

LEGO Monthly Mini Build 2019

If you’ve been enjoying doing the LEGO VIP Monthly Mini Builds, you only have a few months left to do them. I’ve heard from a few different sources that the last event will be in March. Even though LEGO has a list going for the 2019 builds, it seems that the page will not be filled up after March.

The LEGO Monthly Mini Builds have been going since 2009 and it was extremely popular at its peak a few years ago. It may seem that attendance has dropped ever since registration was required starting in 2016 and that could be a reason why LEGO will be ending it. Before the change, it was on a first come, first served system where families lined up in front of the stores and wait their turn. The registration helped ease the congestion at the malls but it also required parents to remember to sign their kids up on a certain day which is an extra step that some didn’t want to take.

The LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) and Porg (75230) are both on sale over on Amazon. The larger style builds are priced at the lowest they have been on the site and are price-matching Walmart. Whether you like the builds or not, I will say that at these prices, they are well worth it as they are some decent sized models.

LEGO at the 2019 London Toy Fair

The 2019 London Toy Fair kicks off on Tuesday and it looks like LEGO will be back this year to show off some of their lineups for this year. According to the exhibit floor map, they won’t be on the floor itself with the other exhibitors but they have their own space in the Olympia Room which is tucked away on one side of the show floor. This may suggest that LEGO has a lot to show off or it’ll mostly be for The LEGO Movie 2 sets which there are a lot of.

If you remember from last year, LEGO did not attend the event and there was no reasoning given for it. It could be that the company was focusing on turning the company around after their financial results weren’t as encouraging as they expected for the year before. Anyways, I’m not sure if any LEGO fansites were invited to attend this year’s Toy Fair or if it’s just for retailers like with 2017 but hopefully there are some details that come out of it.
