Continuing with more sales, the LEGO City City Square (60097) is on sale for $131.99, as of this post, which is 31% off the retail price of $189.99. The set is pretty neat and it has some nice building including a small LEGO Store and delivery truck as well as the tram.
The City Square (60097) was released last year so it still has some shelf life left but this is a great price for it especially if you’ve been holding off on it.
There is now confirmation of the three Buildable Figures that will be included with the sets based on the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One movie. The characters include Jyn Erso, a Death Trooper, and K-250. We did have a list before of the set numbers and piece count but there’s no details on which character goes with which set.
75119 – 104 pcs. $24.99/€24.99
75120 – 169 pcs, $24.99/€24.99
75121 – 106 pcs, $24.99/€24.99
If you’re looking to get some of the older LEGO City train sets, Amazon has some pretty good deals on a couple of them. The High-speed Passenger Train (60051) is on sale for $82.39 which is a savings of 45% of the retail price of $149.99.
The other set is the Cargo Train (60052) which is listed at $133.79, a savings of 33% of the normal price of $199.99.
Both sets were released in 2014 so they will be retiring soon to make way for newer sets so now is a great time to pick them up if you’ve been holding off.
You’ve probably seen a glimpse of this set on the LEGO July 2016 Store Calendar but from June 30 to July 10, VIPs can get a Free exclusive LEGO Classic Knights (5004419) set with purchases of $50 or more. LEGO is continuing the traditional classic sets which pays homage to some of the original themes from LEGO. The sets first started in 2014 with the Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) and last year with Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082).
The set has 47 pieces and the box will again be the white one that’s been used before but with updated printing with this year’s theme. With three different classic themes that have been released or will be releasing with the Knights, there aren’t that much “Classic” themes to choose from. If these types of sets continue next year, I have a feeling it might be for LEGO Town.
The LEGO July 2016 Store Calendar is now up on LEGO’s servers and we can see all the cool promotions and events going on for the month.
July 5-6 – VIP Monthly Mini Model Build will be a Frog (40214)
June 30-July 10 – Free exclusive Classic Knights set with purchases of $50 or more for VIPs.
July 15-31 – Free LEGO City Volcano Jackhammer with City purchases of $35 or more.
July 1-31 – VIPs earn double points on the Police Patrol Boat (60129) and Crooks Island (60131).
July 14-31 – VIPs get early access to a new exclusive set.
Some new sets that will be coming out in July include the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto 1 & Ecto 2 (75828) and the LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253).
Thanks to Jeremy W. for the email heads up.
The talk of the town the past couple of days or so are some new LEGO home furnishing items that have been found over at LEGOLAND Billund by Andres over a Zusammengebaut.com . For some of these items, fans have made their own custom ones but it’s nice to see some official LEGO products as well. Hopefully we’ll see these items available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home in the near future.
Update: I have found out from my friend John who was at LEGOLAND California and the items are now available for purchase. Both the Minifigure Frame and the Keychain Rack are $16.99 each.
The first is a 46 piece LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Minifigure Frame which is able to hold up to 15 super hero minifigures. There’s no word yet on whether a DC version will be released as well.
The second is an official LEGO Keychain Rack which consists of 32 pieces.
Finally, there is a new LEGO Minifigure Cake Mold. There has been a Minifigure Cake Mold released before back in 2009 with item 852708 but that was a red version.
The guys over at Bricks Magazine is celebrating their first year and they have sent over a press release of the latest issue.

Celebrate the Bricks Birthday as we turn one with the release of issue 12.Join us in a retrospective look at our first year and relive the incredible adventure that has been 12 months in Bricks. This journey of ours leads perfectly into this month’s topic – quest. A quest can be described as an adventurous expedition with an end goal – much like a LEGO build.
The questing fun starts in Elevendale, where Miku the dragon takes us on his hunt for the lost dragon with Emily Jones and the elves. These sets have produced some lovely pieces and enchanting builds; it is a world you won’t want to miss. As the story closes on a cliffhanger Bricks ventures over to Eurobricks to examine their long-running LEGO fantasy role-playing game, Guilds of Historica; a fictional world of territories building custom creations to earn points for their chosen factions.
There’s plenty of building to take part in as we take a stab at recreating Jason Allemann’s working trebuchet, build a medieval crane using the book Build Your Own LEGO Knights Realm. James Pegrum gets into the spirit of our theme as he recreates Bilbo’s banquet, showing us ways to make trees and authentic Hobbit furniture. There is insight from Timothy Jones as he explains how he created a giant blue sea serpent and Claus-Marc Hahn reveals how his incredible tower
