LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The 2019 holiday shopping season is well underway and this is the perfect time to release my LEGO shopping recommendations for this year. 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.
LEGO has updated their Retiring Soon page on Shop@Home to show some of the sets that will be going away soon. For those who were doubting my list of sets that are retiring this year, a majority of the sets shown on the page I have listed. There are a few sets that I didn’t have such as the Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom one so I will assume the rest of the sets in that wave will be retiring as well. To see the full list, head over to the link above.

The Winter Chalet by sdrnet is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It build features two floors with the ground floor being the restaurant while the upper floor has the bedrooms. The outside of the building has a lot of nice detailing such as the stone wall on the lower areas.
The project now joins Queen: I Want to Break Free, Seinfeld 30th Anniversary, The Legend of Zelda: BotW Stables, Planet Express Delivery Ship, Ratatouille: Open The Doors!, LEGO Typewriter, The Legend of the BIONICLE, and The Huascar as the projects to reach the Third 2019 Review Stage.
There’s a new LEGO building event at Jo-Ann stores on November 23 for a LEGO Frozen 2 Olaf Box. The event will be held from 11am-2pm local time at your nearest Jo-Ann store. The make and take build features a small box with Olaf’s face on the cover. There will be limited quantities per store so get there early to secure your spot as it doesn’t look like there’s any registration for it. This building event will conflict with the Barnes & Noble Arendelle Castle building event so you’ll have to choose which one you prefer more unless you have another person to go for you. Thanks to Rainbow for the heads up.
It’s never too late to know more about the upcoming 2020 LEGO sets and Swiss online retailer Meinspielzeug has put up product listings for the 2020 LEGO Star Wars sets. The lineup features a variety of builds including Microfighters to more bust builds as well as a set for The Mandalorian. Of course, there are no images at this time but we’ll probably see them closer to the end of the year.
Microfighters: Y-wing (75263) – 86 pieces
Microfighters: Kylo Ren’s TIE Shuttle (75264)– 72 pieces
Microfighters: Bantha and T-16 Skyhopper vs. Bantha (75265)– 198 pieces
First Order Trooper Battle Pack (75266) – 105 pieces
The Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267)– 102 pieces
Snowspeeder (75268) – 91 pieces
Duel on Mustafar (75269)– 208 pieces
TIE Dagger (75272) – 470 pieces
Resistance X-wing (75273) – 761 pieces
Stormtrooper Bust (75276) – 647 pieces
Boba Fett Bust (75277) – 625 pieces
Walmart has released their Black Friday 2019 ad and they will have a couple of LEGO sets on deep discounts. From November 28-29, they will be selling the LEGO Classic Creative Fun (11005) and LEGO DUPLO Creative Fun (10887) for only $20 each which is half off the regular price. Obviously, you’re going to get your money’s worth with the Classic set with it having 900 pieces but the 120 piece DUPLO set is also a good deal especially if you’ve purchased DUPLO sets before and you know how pricey they are.
The sale for the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) has now dipped to its lowest price the set has been on Amazon. It is currently priced at $266.94 which is $83.05 off or a cool 24%. This sale now makes the price per piece ratio dip just under the golden $0.10/piece ratio. I know many of you don’t really like the Master Builder Series playsets but it does include quite a few minifigures that are only found in this set. If you didn’t know, it is one of the sets that will be retiring at the end of the year.
