It was only a few months ago, when it was revealed that Manchester United announced a product partnership with LEGO and today LEGO has officially announced the set with Old Trafford – Manchester United (10272). The set has 3,898 pieces and will retail for $299.99 with availability for LEGO VIPs on January 16 and a global launch on February 1. Check out the press release and more photos of the set below.
The promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355) set is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. You can get it for free with purchases of $80 or more online and at LEGO Brand Stores. The 162 piece set continues the Chinese zodiac animal sets that LEGO have been releasing for a few years now. The promotion will run from now until January 26 or while supplies last.
To coincide with the promotion, the LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets are also available for purchase. The Lion Dance (80104) is still currently in stock while the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105) is in backorder status. You can still order it and it will ship in 30 days.
Now that Christmas is over, Amazon has the LEGO 2019 Advent Calendars on sale but the most notable one is the LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar (75964). It is on sale for 25% off the regular price or about $10 off. You can either save it for this year to open for Advent or use the set for parts. Either way, a deal is a deal and this sale price should have been the original price for the licensed advent calendars.
The Mary Poppins, Cherry Tree Lane by Disneybrick55 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It features the main part of Cherry Tree Lane where the Banks family lives along with some side buildings. What’s interesting about this project is that it is build like a movie set where the back part of the houses are open but there are details inside the houses. The project also proposes minifigures of Mary Poppins, Bert, George Banks, Winifred Banks, Jane Banks, Michael Banks, Admiral Boom, and Mr. Dawes Jr. This is the first project to reach the LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage.
The LEGO Lunar New Year Dragon (40395) building event at LEGO Stores will be happening on January 23 but LEGO has already provided the building instructions for you to download. Signups for the event started earlier this week but you can try to see if there are any spots left and it is intended for kids ages 6-14.
As for the build itself, there aren’t any exclusive parts but the 1x1x2/3 bow plate is still fairly new as it was only introduced last year.
There are now official images of the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355) set. It has 162 pieces and you will be able to get it for free with purchases of $80 or more starting on January 13.
As you can see from the images below, there’s actually a lot of articulation with the Rat with the moveable ear, hands, and tail. Along with the set, you also get a “red” envelope where you can put money in and give to others.
The promotion will run until January 26, while supplies last.
The two new LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets are now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home. These two sets include the Lion Dance (80104) and the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105). The Lion Dance is $79.99 for 882 pieces while the Chinese New Year Temple Fair is $119.99 with 1664 pieces.
The Year of the Rat promotion starts on January 13 but the two sets will probably sell out and go on backorder status before the promo even starts so I suggest buying them now if you really want them.
