LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The LEGO reveals week continues today with the announcement of the summer 2020 LEGO Star Wars sets. There are ten sets in this wave and they will all be available starting on August 1 with the exception of the LEGO Star Wars 2020 Advent Calendar which will be available on September 1. There will be a number of sets that will have a code to unlock content for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game when it comes out.
Avatar: The Last Airbender by Minibrick Productions is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you’re not familiar with Avatar, it’s a very popular animated series and the build features a brick-built Appa along with minifigures of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Momo, General Iroh, and Prince Zuko.
It now joins The Mountain Windmill, Community – Greendale Community College, LEGO HeroQuest, Brickwest Studios, House from Up, Animal Crossing New Horizons: Nook’s Cranny, Trabant 601, Night at the Museum, and Fast Food Corner as the projects to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.
I’ve been checking in on various out of stock items on LEGO Shop@Home and it looks like the LEGO Star Wars character helmets are now back in stock. Boba Fett (75277) has been available since launch but the TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet (75274) and the Stormtrooper Helmet (75276). The latter two have also been out of stock at other retailers as well. I’m not sure how many LEGO stocked of them but if they go into backorder status, you can still purchase them but will ship at a later time.
The LEGO Super Mario theme was announced back in March and LEGO has been sharing various expansion sets here and there but today, they have revealed the full product range for the theme. There are a total of 16 sets that will be available starting on August 1.
I’ve been playing with a few of the sets for a few weeks and was also invited to the super secret LEGO Super Mario Championship which I competed in various challenges against other Recognized LEGO Fan Media. I believe I finished 5th in our pool of eight participants. It was a good experience to test out the product and I have a feeling that kids will enjoy it as well.
We’ve been sent over a slew of images of the sets but I just want to highlight the box and the sets themselves. There’s also a press release that includes the prices for them as well.
If you missed out on the pre-order for the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course (71360) on Shop@Home a few months back, LEGO now has it open again for orders. The set costs $59.99 and it will be available starting on August 1. Unfortunately, the pre-order doesn’t include the Monty Mole & Super Mushroom Expansion Set (40414) promotional bonus that was included during the first wave of pre-orders. So far, it does seem that LEGO Super Mario is fairly popular but we’ll see once all the sets are released this fall.
Star Wars Celebration 2020 is supposed to be held in August but the organizers have announced that the convention has been cancelled. As we know, LEGO usually has an exclusive set that is sold to attendees there but it looks like that won’t happening since there’s no place to sell it. If they did have a set planned, we’re not sure how, when, or where they would distribute it. The easiest way is to drop it on LEGO Shop@Home but even that has some logistical issues. Star War Celebration will be returning to Anaheim in 2022.
LEGO has officially announced the next 18+ set with the Crocodile Locomotive (10277). The set has 1,271 pieces and it will retail for $99.99. Although there’s no press release for the set, we do know that it will be available on LEGO Shop@Home starting on July 1. Train enthusiasts will be interested in this set due to the fact that it is the first crocodile design train LEGO has done since 1991 with 4551. It does allow the use of a Technic Large Motor, sold separately, and you will be able to control it using the Powered Up! app. Check out high quality images of the set below.
