LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Brickset’s database bas been updated with some new LEGO xtra products that you may be interested in. LEGO is rolling out some new LEGO xtra Tape that you can use for certain layouts including Roads (854048) and Water (854065). Both are 49 ft in length and you can cut them to your desired length. I’m not sure if the back side is the sticky kind of tape but I’m guessing they will be reusable. Both also comes with a number of accessories as well.
Brickset has just revealed a brand new line coming out soon called LEGO Brick Sketches. As you can see from the images, they look very familiar. That is because the designer for these sketches is Chris McVeigh. You may have seen his work a few years ago before he was hired by LEGO and now his idea has became official sets.
As for the LEGO Brick Sketches, there are four sets in the initial wave including Batman (40386), First Order Stormtrooper (40391), The Joker, (40428), and BB-8 (40431). There’s no word on pricing or when they will be available but I’m guessing these are the August 1 summer wave sets.
Brickwest Studios by Bricky_Brick is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Idea. It is based on a movie studio that is set in a western scene complete with a saloon and a film crew. It also proposes 10 minifigures as well.
It now joins The Mountain Windmill, Community – Greendale Community College, and LEGO HeroQuest as the projects to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.
A few days ago, we reported on some new expansion packs for the LEGO Super Mario theme that customizes the Mario device. Instead of having a site leak them on accident, LEGO has just revealed the four sets on their social media pages. Each of them has different abilities that can be used and requires the Starter Course (71360) since it is the only set that has the Mario figure. They will be available starting on August 1.
Fire Suit Mario (71370)
Propeller Mario (71371)
Cat Mario (71372)
Builder Mario (71373)
Looking good LEGO Mario! He now gets four new suits AND four new ways to play ✈️🐱⚒️🔥

The LEGO Fairground Collection Haunted House (10273) is now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home for VIPs. The set retails for $249.99 and it has 3,231 pieces. One of the main features of the Haunted House is the free-fall tower ride in the back. Remember that if you want to motorize the ride, you’ll need the Powered Up Hub (88009) and two Medium Motor (88008).
It’s Christmas in the spring as Amazon has the LEGO City 2019 Advent Calendar (60235) on sale for 37% off the retail price. This is the lowest price it has been at in a few months and only second to the deeper sale it had at the beginning of the year. The set has 234 pieces and it has seven minifigures including Santa Claus. Since the box doesn’t really label it for 2019, it can be used in the future as well.
Today, we are looking at some LEGO products that are not your standard bricks you can build with but some newly released stationery products from Chronicle Books. First off, we have the LEGO Brick Erasers which retail for $15.95 for a pack of eight and the come packaged in a nice little pull-out holder. They are stylized in the classic 2×4 bricks and have a more pastel hue to them instead of your traditional colors. They aren’t connectable because there are no holes at the bottom but they do have the LEGO logo on the studs. I guess this is a good compromise because they are erasers and they would disappear more quickly if there were holes.
