Technically it’s not even summer yet but there’s already an image of one of this year’s LEGO Christmas polybags courtesy of Brickset and that is the LEGO Creator Seasonal Christmas Tree (30286). It seems to be an annual tradition that LEGO puts out a Christmas tree during the winter season. It doesn’t look that spectacular with some slight differences to previous years trees but polybag collectors will most likely want this one too.
LEGO Train fans, it’s time to sink your teeth into LEGO’s latest offering with the LEGO City Heavy-Haul Train (60098). LEGO has updated their servers so now we finally get to see the official images of the set. It’ll consist of 984 pieces including 12 of the straight tracks and 16 of the curved ones. The set will also include the Power Functions IR Speed Remote Control and I assume the Receiver Unit along with the Battery Box. There’s no pricing that I know of but if history is any indication, the Heavy-Haul Train (60098) will be upwards of $150. Who’s excited to add this train to your City layout?

Over on Eurobricks, a user has found an advertisement for a new video game by TT Games called LEGO Worlds on the back of the instructions of the LEGO City Square (60097) set. There isn’t much to go on from the image but from what I can infer from it is that LEGO Worlds will be some sort of open world sandbox game in which the player can “explore, discover, and create.”
The image also gives a link to LEGO World’s minipage but it doesn’t work yet since the sets aren’t officially released let. I assume we’ll have more details about the game around the beginning of June.

In our third review of the LEGO City Space sub-theme sets, we have the Training Jet Transporter (60079). The set contains 448 pieces and retails for $49.99 which comes out to about a $0.11/piece ratio. The contents of the box include five numbered bags, three instruction booklets, a sticker sheet, and a loose chassis piece for the trailer.
The Brick Man Experience is coming to Sydney, Australia starting next month and will be on display for only 16 days starting on June 27. Check out the full press release below.

THE COMPLETE COLLECTION BY RYAN MCNAUGHT
World first spectacular exhibition made entirely from LEGO® bricks heads to Sydney for 16 days only
Brick Man Experience – The Complete Collection by Ryan McNaught, a world first spectacular exhibition made entirely from LEGO® bricks is heading to Sydney following its successful debut in Melbourne.
Back by public demand, the exhibition will head to Sydney for 16 days only with Ryan’s remarkable collection of 60 LEGO® works on display at Sydney Town Hall from June 27th – July 12th. Early bird tickets are on sale now via brickmanexperience.com.au.
Sixty original works will be featured along with their own unique behind the scenes story, including original drawings and sketches. A variety of Ryan’s LEGO® works will be displayed including a never seen before QANTAS A380, a quarter scale LEGO® Ferrari and a giant space shuttle. Incredibly, over 5 million LEGO® bricks make up the works!
In addition to Ryan’s pieces, for the first time anywhere in the world, works from other LEGO® Certified Professionals will be displayed, based around the ‘Transport’ theme from their native country.
“I am thrilled to be bringing the Brick Man Experience to Sydney! It’s great for me to be able to have all my works together in one place for people to enjoy. This is the last chance to see
One of the perks of working at LEGO Brand Stores is that if you’re in a management position, you sometimes get to conferences and you also get to bring some memorabilia back home with you. That’s what happened with someone’s friend in the AFOLs of Facebook page.
The OP’s friend was given the above packaged zombie minifigure by their manager who attended the 2015 LEGO Brand Retail Manager’s Conference. It appears that all the pieces of the zombie are official pieces minus the tattered yellow LEGO apron. I’ve seen some pretty cool stuff posted from these conferences but this zombie LEGO employee is probably the coolest one I’ve seen so far.
It looks like there’s going to be a new and updated LEGO Minifigure Display Case coming in the near future. First discovered over on Brick Fanatics, this new case will feature clear doors in the front to access your minifigures from the front. Another thing that is new about these cases is that they are clear all around so you can fully see all 16 minifigures without having to take them out to look at the back like with previous cases. From the example image, it seems that there’s enough room for both the minifigures and their accessories as well. Like with the previous Minifigure Display Cases that LEGO has produced, they have studs on top that lets you stack multiple cases together.
The current LEGO Minifigure Collectors Box (852820) only allows for 15 minifigures so if you’re a collector of the LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series, there’s no way to display all of them unless you cram 2 minifigs in one compartment so this new one is a definite upgrade. Since it’s already listed over in the UK, that probably means it should be available here in the States very soon so keep your eyes peeled for it.
