There are now official images of the 2020 LEGO Friends sets via online toy retailer Meinspielzeug.ch. There are eight new sets shown and I think my favorite one out of them is the Baking Competition.

After the announcement of the LEGO Technic App-Controled Top Gear Rally Car (42109) earlier today, there are now official images of the 2020 LEGO Technic sets that have shown up on online retailers. Some of the sets look neat but nothing really jumps out at me. I do like the Mini CLASS Xerion in case you don’t have the larger version from a few years ago.
Amazon has released a press release with some of their Black Friday 2019 deals and as usual, there will be sales on LEGO but the big savings is for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). They will have the set on sale for 40% off or a $320 discount and the final price of it will be $480. This is a hell of a deal if you’ve been thinking of picking it up and for this price, it’s a no-brainer. There’s no better deal than 40% off unless you’ve been hoarding up VIP points and redeeming the discounts. The sale starts this Friday, November 22 and it’ll randomly show up over on their Black Friday page. Thanks to saneps via Wario64 for the heads up.

This list features sets that were released this year and I’ve broken them down into categories that are separated into different price point groups. Many of the sets listed are currently on sale at various retailers. Note that these sets are my personal opinion and ones that I would personally choose for others.
