Even though the top two shopping days of the year have already passed, there are still deals to be found including the LEGO Creator Volkswagen Beetle (10252). It is currently priced at $69.99 which is 30% off the regular price and a very good deal for this set. It doesn’t seem like this is retiring any time soon but any discount on it is good.
A few days ago we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Collectible Minifigures (71026) and today we now have a clearer look at the individual characters from the wave via The Minifigure Store. Again, there are 16 minifigures to collect and each are pretty detailed including a number of them who are LEGO minifigures for the first time. There is a rumor that the price of the minifigures will be increasing to $4.99 each so some fans will be more selective on who to get.

For those who aren’t keen on LEGO switching out plastic bags to paper bags next year, there’s a rumor that there will be a new promotion happening possibly mid-month that could sway your opinion. I’ve been told that there will be a LEGO Masters bag free with any purchase and it’s possible that it might be a reusable one. Obviously LEGO will definitely try to promote the show before the series airs in February. Take this as a rumor for now because LEGO has been doing promotions that aren’t listed on the store calendars.
LEGO employees have started getting their 2019 Christmas gift and this year’s gift is pretty cool if you’re a fan of a particular theme. Vice president of design, Matthew Ashton, has shared an image on Twitter of what employees will be receiving this year. Obviously there are some, including LEGO Brand Store employees, who probably haven’t gotten theirs yet so I won’t totally spoil it. I’ve included the image below but it is hidden until you decide to reveal it. It’s a pretty cool item that any employee would be glad to receive whether it be for their collection or for some extra cash for the holidays.
If you weren’t able to get the LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile – Limited Edition (40433) set this past weekend due to it selling out quickly, you’ll be glad to know that LEGO has provided the building instructions for download. You’ll be glad to know that none of the parts are exclusive so you can easily build this set if you source out the parts from BrickLink. If you wish to have a sealed copy of the set, expect to pay upwards of $70 on the secondary market. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.

If you’ve been having trouble getting the LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) on Shop@Home, you’ll be glad that Amazon has now recently started carrying the set as well and most importantly, it is in stock. The retail price is $59.99 and it features the iconic Central Perk setting as well as the main characters of the show.
Here’s a cool little contest over on LEGO Ideas that I just found out about which couple impact a future gift with purchase promotion. A few months ago, LEGO ran a contest for fans to build a vintage car that could be used in the streets of LEGO Modular Buildings. There are a number of great submissions and the best were chosen for a fan vote and the winning build will become an official gift with purchase set. There are quite a few that would look great as a standalone set so it’s cool for LEGO to get input on what we will be getting. The deadline for the fan vote is December 4 so you only have a little bit of time left to choose your favorite vintage car.
